“While jacking up the right front side of the car the jack broke at the base of the jack where the two levers connect and the car fell about a foot the garage floor. The jack was seated level on the concrete floor and in an up right position. I was not under the car, so I was not injured. The jack has only been used about four previous times.”
NHTSA complaint #10474404, filed 2012-09, 59,000 miles“I purchased a 2009 Cadillac cts4, I just recently had a tire blow out due to road hazard which made the tire not repairable. When I pulled over to put the spare on I discovered there was no spare no jack no lug wrench.,.but just an electric tire pump and a seal kit in the wheel well. Luckily I was only a few blocks from home but my point is I could have been stranded in the middle of nowhere with nothing to temporarily fix/replace the bad tire. …”
