Consumer Description

AFTER A TIRE BLOW OUT, I WENT TO RETRIEVE THE SPARE ONLY TO FIND THAT IT WAS GONE. THE SPARE IN THIS VEHICLE IS LOCATED UNDER THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, AND IS SUSPENDED BY A CABLE THAT LOWERS FROM THE TRUNK. WHEN I CHECK FOR THE SPARE, I ONLY FOUND A 4 INCH SECTION OF CABLE WITH A FRAYED END. IT APPEARS THE CABLE HAD BROKEN AND THE SPARE, WITH THE ALLOY WHEEL, MUST HAVE DROPPED TO THE GROUND AT SOME POINT. I HAD NO INDICATION THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE BEHIND ME HAD HIT THE SPARE AFTER IT BROKE LOOSE.
