“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.”

When I return to my car, the trunk is randomly opened. One day, when it was raining, this occurred and drenched my entire trunk.
