1995 GMC JIMMY, THE CABLE SUPPORTING MY UNDERCARIAGE SPARE TIRE BROKE AND ALOWED THE SPARE TIRE TO FALL ONTO THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE IS OLD AND HAS ABOUT 235,000 MILES ON IT. THE CABLE WAS CLEARLY RUSTED AND BRITTLE. I ONLY REPORT THIS BECOUSE OF MY CONSERN THAT THIS TYPE OF INCEDENT MIGHT BE BECOMING MORE COMMAN AS CARS LAST LONGER THAN THEY USED TO. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED SERIUOS INJURY OR DEATH IT WAS JUST FORTUNATE THAT THE SPARE CAME TO REST WITHOUT HITING ANY PEDESTRIANS OR OTHER VEHICLES.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
