Narrative

THE JACKS THAT HONDA PROVIDE FOR ITS 2005 HONDA IS NOT SAFE THE SYSTEM IS A KNUCKLE BUSTING EXPERIERIENCE AND THE JACK WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE. IT TAKES A LOT LONGER TO MOVE THE DAMAGED TIRE FROM THE VEHICLE. WHY IS IT NOT A LAW THAT ALL CAR MANUFACTURERS ARE REQUIRED TO USE A FULL SIZE SPARE AND A FLOOR STYLE JACK I WORK IN THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I KNOW HOW TO USE A JACK. *AK
