| I had a flat on the tire that was on the vehicle and had to use the temporary tire that came with the jeep. i was traveling along the road when all of the sudden i had to stop at a red light but the jeep had no brakes to stop. the temporary tire had rubbed a hole in the brake line ont the drivers side front. i had no brakes so i had to get a taxi to take me home. i had to buy a new brake line and assembly for the jeep and have a mechanic replace the line along with having to have the vehicle towed to the shop. if there had been anyone in front of me i would have hit them from behind and been sighted for faulty equipment. i think the company should be warned about the problem that i had with the temporary tire and it could cause a very severe accident to happen and maybe death to some innocent child or family. *ak | |||
