“The contact owns a 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis. The contact stated that while changing a flat tire with the factory jack, the jack bent and caused the vehicle to fall off the jack.

The jack was not replaced. The failure mileage was 81,000.”
NHTSA complaint #10394292, filed 2011-04, 81,000 miles“Vehicle's passenger side front tire blew out and while changing the tire the jack collapsed. The jack the consumer was new since this was the first time the vehicle ever had a flat tire. The consumer took the jack to the local dealer who offered to order a new one which would have to be paid for. The consumer refused the offer especially since the replacement was the same as the one that collapsed. The consumer believes the jack is not sufficient to raise the vehicle.”
