| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Spare wheel fell from carrier when winch cable parted due to wear/corrosion. when reported to dealer, he said that it was happening a lot lately. i asked if there was a recall and he responded no. a tire falling from under vehicle at freeway speeds can easily kill people in other vehicles, yet dealer (and manufacturer?) seemed to not care. sincerely believe that this issue should be tracked and a more permanent device other that flimsy, corrosion prone cable be used to secure these spare tires. *ak |
