NHTSA complaint #10146053, filed 2005-12“The spare tire assembly under my Tahoe broke ( a rather thick cable) and let the tire and wheel fall off my truck while backing into the garage.

I have the paper work on both repairs. …”

Since I bought it would say they could not fix the problem unless it was having that problem when I brought the truck into their dealership. …”
