On two occasions my car suspension had failed. I am just lucky I was not on the highway or I could have been fatally wounded. I can not believe I never received any notices about the suspension recall. The first instance I was driving in my driveway and the car completely dropped down on the tires and could not move the vehicle. The second instance I was driving and the suspension fell on a regular road not a fast highway. It had cost me $250.00 to have it towed both times because it could not be moved by driving. In addition the second failure cost me $175.00 because the front tires were ruined. For the repair work on both instances cost me $125.00 each time totaling another $250.00 . So because of someone's failure to tighten nuts it cost me $675.00 , and not to mention the risk of losing my life. Terrifying to say the least.
