POS Jack
 
The jack that comes with the car is a complete POS. I tried to use it to take off a front tire and it collapsed twice. Luckily, I did not remove the tire yet so no harm. I wound up using the jack of my Jaguar and then put a jackstand under the car as soon as it was high enough.

Yup, happened to me the first time I attempted to raise the car off the ground, whole dang thing shifted towards me and fell while crushing the jack under it :eek:

I took the scissor jack from the Pontiac, and got it off the ground with no problems.

They don't call it "The Widow Maker" for nothing.

No argument here. I either call AAA or use the 2.5 ton floorjack in my garage.

Most definitely a POS, in fact, they're downright dangerous to use. I also carry my 3 ton floor jack because it's only a matter of time before the whole car rolls right off that piece of of OEM crap.
