| Description of the problem | Problems concerning the manual on how to access the spare tire equipment on the 2003 toyota 4 runner.***no answer required***. *mr the manual's direction and graphics were very different from how the consumer had to access the spare on his vehicle. The arm to the jack used to jack up the car required it to be screwed together and was not heavy enough gauge to jack up the consumer's suv. The jack did not rise high enough to remove the tire. The consumer believes the jack and tools provided to change the tire were inferior and ineffective. *nm |
