My wife's 2001 Acura MDX just had to have the front suspension redone at a cost of $1300 due to TWO broken front springs Eek!

This vehicle has never been in accident and never used offroad but Honda just says it is out of warranty and therefor it's my problem. The Dealership - Erin Mills Acura - also say there is nothing they can do although we bought it there for $50,000 and have had every service done there - they didn't even offer to cover part of the costs so i guess they have lost a customer.

I am going to go to Transport Canada and see if i can start the ball rolling on a recall in Canada and the USA. I will be posting on all the Acura forums i can find I see at least a couple of other people who have had this problem but i welcome input from anyone who has had spring failure on a Honda of any type.

I am going to go a metalurgy(sp?) lab and get the springs checked out for crystalization and if it is found I'm going to make their lives a misery - anyone know Ralph Nader's phone number.

This really pisses me of as SPRINGS DON"T JUST BREAK - even in an accident and it is a huge safety issue if something lets go.
