Consumer Description

DRIVING MY 2003 HONDA PILOT WITH APPROX 40K MILES. WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN I HEARD A SINGLE THUMP. LOOKED IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR AND SAW A TIRE BOUNCING 20-30 FEET IN THE AIR WITH CARS BEHIND ME ON THE HIGHWAY SWERVING WILDLY TO AVOID THE TIRE. IT BOUNCED 3-4 TIMES AND THEN WENT OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A RAVINE. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND FOUND THAT MY SPARE TIRE HAD BROKEN FREE AND DROPPED ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO SIT FOR 15 MINUTES BECAUSE I WAS SO SHAKEN THINKING THAT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR HIGHWAY ACCIDENT. THE SPARE HAD NEVER BEEN USED OR LOWERED FROM THE CAR. DEALER REPORTED THAT THE STEEL LIFT CABLE HAD JUST BROKEN. *NM
