broken coil spring
Hello,
Looking for another opinion... 2011 Yaris sedan, bought new. No other driver. Used in an area where potholes and winter abrasives is the normal way of life. Front passenger coil spring broke at ~3 years, 42000km (26000mi), around 1/2 turn from the top end. Replaced under warranty. Front driver coil spring just broke, at ~6 years, 61000km (38000mi), at the same 1/2 turn from the top end. Out of warranty this time. No damaged wheel/tire, ever. Part of my brain is shouting "manufacturing defect", but I don't really have arguments to challenge the local Toyota shop that claims potholes, rust and bad luck. Thoughts? Thanks. |
