Unable to perform routine tire changes due to an incompatible car jack and spare tire? If so, you may have a claim against the vehicle manufacturer. Recently, Ford Motor Company has been in hot water for selling lifted trucks with car jacks and spare tires allegedly incompatible with the vehicles larger tires and ride heights. Any consumer would reasonably expect that Ford’s lifted truck would come equipped with an functioning jack and spare tire. But this is apparently not the case. Ford allegedly does not disclose that the jack and spare tire are only compatible with so-called stock trucks. As a result, by buying or leasing the vehicle, a consumer overpays for a vehicle not properly equipped. If you have purchased or leased a vehicle with incompatible car jack or spare tire, please contact FBFG to discuss you legal rights.
