Consumer Description

I WAS CHANGING A FLAT TIRE AND THE JACK JUST FAILED ON ME LAST NIGHT AND ALMOST BUT MY ARM OFF. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE JACK WAS BEING USED. IT WAS A FLAT ROAD AND IT WASN'T WINDY. THE CAR WAS ON A STABLE SURFACE WITH NO STONES OR ANYTHING ELSE. THE CAR ALMOST LANDED ON MY HANDS AND BENT THE ROTOR BACK PLATE !!!! I THEN NOTED THAT THE JACK WAS VERY UNSTABLE AND MAYBE A LITTLE BENT. I GOT HELP FROM A TRUCK WHO STOPPED BY. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER TODAY TO SEE IF THEY CAN REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY (3 YRS OLD BASICALLY) BUT THEY JUST SAID NO. *TR
