Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1998 FORD F150 4X4 AND THE CABLE THAT SECURES THE SPARE TIRE UNDER THE BED BROKE WHILE DRIVING . I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 5 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE TIRE AND THE HOLDER DROPPED TO THE ROAD BEHIND ME. I FEEL IF I HAD BEEN GOING AT 60 OR ANY OTHER SPEED THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SOME MAJOR DAMAGE TO ANY ONE TRAVELING BEHIND. I HAVE CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AT THEIR CUSTOMER RELATIONS LINE ON FEBRUARY 17,2010 TO SEE IF THEY COULD OFFER SOME ASSISTANCE. I AM MORE THAN ABLE TO INSTALL THIS ITEM MY SELF. I LIVE ON MAUI IN A TOWN CALLED HANA AND I AM ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS FROM A DEALER. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER AND THE CABLE THAT BROKE WILL COST ME JUST OVER 100.00 DOLLARS. THAT MAY NOT SEEM TO BE A LOT AT THIS TIME BUT IF THE TIRE HAD COME OFF I MAY HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR A WHOLE LOT MORE. I HAVE NOW RETURNED TO OUR HOME IN CALIFORNIA ,BUT THE VEHICLE IS IN HANA. MAUI I HAVE ALL THE PIECES THAT WERE INVOLVED. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AT THIS. *TR
