Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“At 36,900 miles I had the rear and front pinion berrings replaced on my drive train. I also replaced the tires which were worn out. The vehicle is not driven much (4.5 years old) as indicated by the mileage. I also experienced my accelorator being stiff when I attempt to depress it. I think GM needs to look into their shoddy transmission components. I also had the rear seal replaced at approximately 10,000 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #10067759, filed 2004-04, 36,900 miles“The cable holding up my spare tire on my 2000 z-71 Silverado pickup broke, dropping the spare tire onto the road. Fortunately I was on a road early in the morning just pulling through a intersection and wasn't pulling my horse trailer.”
NHTSA complaint #10056470, filed 2004-02, 59,100 miles“The spare tire hoist cable broke, and the spare tire dropped onto the highway. It bounced at least 10 feet in the air, narrowly missing cars driving the opposite direction. Luckily it rolled to the shoulder without hitting anything. I had never used the spare, nor lowered the hoist mechanism. This tire weighs ~75 pounds and could have easily killed a passing motorist.”
