Pulling through a parking lot I felt a bump. After passing over the "bump" I looked back to see my spare tire sitting in the parking lot. The end of the cable that holds the bracket for the tire to be held in place was frayed. The peice which holds the bracket was gone. After calling my local Ford dealership I was advised this would cost me $200 to replace the cable. A five year old car should not have a cable fray under it. If I had been going 70 mph this would have caused a horrific accident.
