DONUT SPARE TIRE RIM FAILED AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A 1/2-INCH DEEP POT HOLE WITHIN 10 FEET OF WHERE I HAD A FLAT WITH THE FULL SIZE TIRE. RIM WAS BENT BEYOND REPAIR. IF I WOULD HAVE HAD THE SPARE TIRE ON THE HIGHWAY I WOULD HAVE DAMAGED CAR. IF AUTO MAKERS ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY WHY DO THEY GIVE YOU A TINY SPARE TIRE AND TINY JACK THAT BARELY HOLDS THE CAR UP? THE RIM COLLAPSED THE SAME YEAR I BOUGHT THE NEW CAR. SEVENTEEN YEARS LATER I HAD THE JACK SLIDE OUT FROM UNDER MY CAR AND THE CAR FELL ON MY LEG AND I HAVE LASTING BRUISE MARKS FROM THE INJURY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD (SPEED LIMIT 55 MPH) WHEN MY STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT, THE STEERING WHEEL SPUN IN EITHER DIRECTION WITHOUT STOPPING W/NO ACTION AT TIRES. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I REALIZED THE ONLY REASON I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER BY PRESSING THE BRAKES IS BECAUSE THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR CRADLE BOLT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS MISSING WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE AND ENTIRE FRONT END TO DROP AND TWIST TO THE RIGHT WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THERE ARE MANY VEHICLE TRAFFIC DEATHS ON THIS ROAD EVERY YEAR AND LUCKILY I WASN'T ANOTHER STATISTIC. MY REASON BEHIND THIS COMPLAINT IS I HAVE
