I can't beleive this really happened. While I was driving my bottle of water fell over on cupholder and spilled everywhere. I was looking wth happened, both of the springs on the cupholders became loose. This is really annoying as the car is less then 2 weeks old and you don't expect this to happen. Anyone else had this issue?

Nope, but a 500ml bottle of water with a skinny waist isn't held particularly firmly. Have the springs popped out, or is the spring loading a bit on the slack side? If the springs have failed, it will be an easy fix for the dealership to strip out the central consoleand replace the cup holder area.
