Consumer Description

THE SPARE TIRE HOIST CABLE BROKE, AND THE SPARE TIRE DROPPED ONTO THE HIGHWAY. IT BOUNCED AT LEAST 10 FEET IN THE AIR, NARROWLY MISSING CARS DRIVING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. LUCKILY IT ROLLED TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING. I HAD NEVER USED THE SPARE, NOR LOWERED THE HOIST MECHANISM. THIS TIRE WEIGHS ~75 POUNDS AND COULD HAVE EASILY KILLED A PASSING MOTORIST. *JS
