Description of the problem | Spare tire jack falls apart and are very dangerous. Was trying to teach my daughter who is getting ready to drive. The lever is strong when extended but it literally torqued the bolt in half, collapsing the jack. Thank god the wheel was still on. Folks be aware. This is a 4500 lbs car. Shame on maserati for delivering a car like this with a compact car jack that can no way safely lift this car. The must be required to warn and replace with a properly suited jack that is legitimately capable of lifting the car safely. |
