Another fine example of Dodge engineering, put the spare tire under the front seats so its exposed to all the dirt/salt/rust/water and then when you need to crank it down (if you can) in an emergency, its rusted solid and won't budge. I'm surprised more people haven't complained about this, this is the same design for a few years now. Total pain if you're stuck on the side of the road at night, in the rain or snow and can't change your flat. Stupid engineer should be shot with a ball of his/her own sh*t!

It's bad enough to be stuck with a stupid mini-spare as a full size spare is not an option- but imagine a cold rainy night with a flat tire and the stupid spare won't drop down after you follow the manual's incorrect* instructions (so you can then get on your knees in the wet & darkness to try to drag the piece of crap out and install it so you can limp home ...)

* the instructions say 33 turns (yes, thirty three!!) to release the spare using some two bit wrench that's supplied; you finally determine it's a typo & must mean three decimal three (3.3); now why not say APPROXIMATELY three and a third (3 1/3) turns? Who writes this crap?

So it won't drop down and you get towed home and the next morning you peer under the vehicle- yep, there's the spare tire holder. You give it a kick, and presto! It drops down. But you still can't get it far enough down to release the stupid spare! And guess what? IT WON"T GO BACK UP EITHER! So it's off to the dealer- but it's Easter weekend. Your planned trip to the cottage is toast! What twit of an engineer designed this garbage???
