2004 Dodge RAM 1500 Tires Temporary Emergency Spare Tire Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1030258
Internal NHTSA #	10557576
Manufacurer	Chrysler Group LLC
Brand	DODGE
Model	RAM 1500
Model Year	2004
File date	27/12/13
Component	TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While driving the spare tire which is suspended under the vehicle fell to the ground. The metal bracket that passes through the center of the spare tire to suspend it rusted where it connects to the suspension cable causing the tire to fall to the ground. Fortunately i was driving slowly through a shopping plaza and there was no vehicles behind me. If i had been driving at highway speeds it could have caused an accident for anyone behind me. Very unsafe design. I mention what occurred to my neighbor who has a similar dodge ram and he informed me that the same thing had occurred to his vehicle. He too was fortunate that the spare tire fell in the driveway of his home. In looking on the internet, numerous forums report the same safety issue. Please investigate and discuss the safety issue with dodge before anyone gets hurt. Thanks.
