| Upon having a flat tire, i followed the manual instructions and attempted to change the tire by using the factory installed jack. before i could elevate the car high enough to remove the flat, the jack buckled and the car fell. fortunately, no one was hurt. i realize my esp had expired, but the jack certainly is not designed to function properly and safely. the local dealership reported that neither they nor ford would be willing to compensate me for the $40 tow truck call nor would they replace the jack. the tow truck driver commented that he sees a lot of this on ford contours (the new version of tempo). do i have any recourse? ford has not provided an adequately safe jack on this model. | |||
