Description of the problem | I went to use the jack provided by nissan to change a flat tire. This was the first time the jack had ever been used. As i started to elevate the vehicle higher i noticed the jack started to bend and collapse, as the screw mechanism also started to bend. The attached photos probably do not truly show how much both the frame & screw of the jack had actually bent. I had to use another jack to get the faulty one out from under the vehicle. Afterwards with the assistance of a vice, i was able to close the defective jack and in doing so it somewhat straightened the screw and frame. The screw was severely concave, and the jack frame listed a lot with the vehicle weight. I was fortunate to be doing this on a concrete driveway at home. The emergency brake was fully engaged, the transmission was in park with the engine off, and i had wooden blocks behind the rear tires. My concern was that had this happened on the side of a road, and i didn't have a second jack; or had not noticed the bending, myself or anyone else in a similar situation could have been seriously injured. In doing an internet search afterwards, i found a number of owners who had the same problem with this particular scissor jack from the same make, model & year. |
