“The bracket at the end of the cable holding the spare tire in place rusted away and the spare tire fell out from under the van, striking a car and almost causing amajor situation. I contacted the dealer who was sympathetic but remarked that the van had way too many miles to report the situation to Ford motor. The repair to the van was the entire restraint assembly which cost me about $100, thanks.”
