EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:ACCESSORY SCISSOR/SCREW/BOTTLE JACK/LIFT
JACK COLLAPSED WHEN TIRE WAS BEING CHANGED. THE JACK COULDN'T HOLD THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL TO REPLACE THE JACK WITH A STRONGER ONE, BUT CONSUMER WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF IT UNTIL THE JACK BROKE.*AK CONSUMER SPOKE WITH THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS WHO AGREED THE JACK SHOULD BE REPLACED. ONE AGREED TO REPLACED IT IF THE CONSUMER PAYS THE $50.00 WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE. CONSUMER THINK THE JACK COULDN'T HOLD THE LINCOLN BUT MAY HOLD A FORD FOCUS. MICHELIN STATED SINCE THE TIRE WAS DRIVEN UNTIL FLAT, IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY. SINCE THEY COULDN'T MATCH THE TIRES, ALL FOUR WERE REPLACED WITH BIG O WITH A 100,000 MILE UNLIMITED WARRANTY. MICHELIN,FIRESTONE AND POSSIBLY LINCOLN HAS LOST THE CONSUMER AS A CONSUMER. *PH
