Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The spare tire secondary latch was stuck in the hoist body not allowing the spare tire to be released. The dealer, sierra Chevrolet, monrovia, ca stated that the hoist mechanism was stripped, not allowing the tire to be lowered. I had seen the cable let down but the tire not come down at costco, azusa, ca where they were replacing my tires, so I know the mechanism was not stripped. My complain is both against the dealer for falsely representing a problem and causing me a cost of over $250 and for the design of the hoist which was flawed.”
NHTSA complaint #10584381, filed 2014-04, 84,000 miles“I have a 2004 Chevrolet avalanche and have had several flat tires, was never stuck on the highway so never removed the spare tire. Today and yesterday 02-13-10 / 02-14-10 have been trying to remove the spare tire and feel grateful the failure occurred in my driveway. If not I would be stuck, as it is impossible to remove the tire from under the truck. I did review the instructions, soak the tire release in penetrating oil and made a dozen attempts to remove the tire. The result was a sore back, the first part of the jack handle extension stuck in the back of the truck. …”
