rear bumper stepper can't be connect on properly because the bracket that holds the rear bumper stepper is damaged. The bracket is wielded on and cant be removed by ordinary means and because the rear bumper stepper cant be secured it is at risk of falling off while driving and causing damage. It's a safety hazard for people getting in and out through the rear of the vehicle since it's a cargo van and the stepper not being secure can cause slip and fall.

235/65R16C This vehicle was a rental. During our trip, the right rear/passenger-side rear tire repeatedly lost air pressure, requiring multiple stops to add air. The tire ultimately went completely flat at night while we were traveling on the highway with four young children in the vehicle. We were stranded along the roadway while traffic, including large semi-trucks, passed at highway speeds, creating a serious safety risk to the occupants. After the tire failed, we observed what appeared to…
