Never Buy A Gm Jack/scissor's Jack!!!!!!

So I went to change my plastic flap in front of the driver wheel well in front of the tire. I was a tight squeeze to fit a screwdriver underneath so I went to use the spare scissor's jack that I had bought to leave in garage for who knows what reason. Let's make this clear,ITS A GM GOODWRENCH 1.5 TON SCISSOR JACK! The top of the scissor jack is the perfect size to fit the jack pad underneath the car. I go to extend the jack to its height(It lifted the car about 3-4 inches off the ground).....IT SLOWLY TILTED AND SNAPPED!!!!!! It was wedged undernearth the jack pad!!!I grabbed the jack in the cabinet,lifted the car up enough to get it out and put it back down.......WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IT WAS AN EMERGENCY???????? KEEP IN MIND THE CAR WAS LIFTED BY ITS LIFTING POINTS,AND WEIGHTS ALOT LESS THEN THE WEIGHT LIMIT!!!!!!

This is ridiculous,I'm trying to contact GM about this,I keep getting the run around from employees though.
