“I had a spare tire carrier not lower the spare tire down on my 2003 Chrysler towne and country, when I was stuck on a country road where there was no houses for miles and there was no cell service available. I was stuck with my 2 very young and severely autistic children and unable to get assistance. After pulling and tugging on the spare tire for an hour as to try and get it to release in the dangerous situation I was in, the spare tire dropped without any warning and just missed hitting me in the head. I was then able to change the flat tire and travel back home. …”
NHTSA complaint #10296022, filed 2009-12, 99,986 miles“Rear tire blew out, when stopped to attempt to change the tire, I was unable to get spare tire to release from its holder under the car. Talked w/ the mechanic and he explained that all of the minivans suffer from the release mechanism rusting in place after a few years causing the spare to remain locked. Only remedy is to cutout and replace the entire spare tire assembly.”
