Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A DODGE GRAND CARAVAN NEW IN 2005. YESTERDAY I HAD A FLAT TIRE AND TRIED TO ACCESS THE SPARE TIRE. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE AS IT WAS FROZEN IN PLACE. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY SUGGESTED I USE A PRY BAR TO FREE IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AROUND BELIEVING THEY HAVE A SPARE TIRE WHILE IN REALITY, THE SPARE IS INACCESSIBLE. I COULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED OR IN AN UNSAFE AREA. *TR
