WE AHVE TWO CHILDREN AND HATE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT WE DON'T KNOW HOW FAST WE ARE GOING. IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN ONCE A MONTH AT FIRST AND NOW IT IS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALSHIP AND WERE TOLD THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE. *TR”

“SPARE TIRE CARRIER NOT OPERATIONAL. INABILITY TO CHANGE FLAT TIRE UNSAFE AND COSTLY (OF COURSE, TO THE OWNER). GENERAL MOTORS POORLY RE-DESIGNED SPARE TIRE WINCH INCLUDES PLASTIC HOUSING FOR CABLE THAT DETERIORATES IN THE SEVERE SERVICE AREA OF A MOTOR VEHICLE. PREVIOUS DESIGNS DID NOT INVOLVE THE USE OF PLASTICS IN THE EXTERNAL MECHANISMS. MINE FAILED LEAVING ME WITH A FLAT TIRE AND A PERFECTLY GOOD SPARE THAT I WAS UNABLE TO LOWER FROM THE REAR UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE. MAKES NO SENSE TO REPLACE THE WINCH WITH ANOTHER OF THE SAME DESIGN LEAVING MOST PEOPLE NO OPTION TO EITHER NOT CARRY A SPARE OR CARRY INSIDE THE VEHICLE EITHER UNSAFELY ANCHORED OR NOT ANCHORED AT ALL BECOMING A PROJECTILE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR”
