AS I WAS DRIVING MY 2000 FORD EXPEDITION DOWN MY STEEP DRIVEWAY, I FELT A HARD BUMP AND FELT LIKE I HIT SOMETHING. I LOOKED OUT MY REARVIEW MIRROR AND SAW MY TIRE ROLLING DOWN THE STREET! THE TIRE WAS OUR FULL-SIZE SPARE THAT HAD BEEN SECURED UNDER THE TRUCK. THE HAPPENED LAST YEAR, 2007 AROUND SPRING TIME. LUCKILY, I WAS JUST COMING OUT MY OWN DRIVEWAY AND NOT DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WITH MY CHILDREN. I WOULD HAVE FILED THIS SOONER BUT JUST FOUND THIS WEBSITE TODAY. WE HAVE NOT TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER TO SEE WHAT BROKE OFF BUT NOW THAT I SEE WE MAY NEED TO FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL RECALL FROM 2005..WE WERE IN SOUTH KOREA AND NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTIFICATIONS OVER THERE. ANYWAY, IF YOU'VE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE, IT MAY BE WORTH CHECKING INTO BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE LOSES A SPARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROWDED FREEWAY. THANK YOU, CHRISTINE HOLLOWAY *TR
