| I was driving my vehicle and had a flat tire. i could not get my spare tire to come down as it was seized under th back of the vehicle. i had a repair shop fix it and they advised me this is common on all general motor vehicles that salt get inside them and rusts out the spare tire hoist unit making it impossible to get the tire down. i am concerned as it could have happened to my wife and kids on a cold night. after looking online this is a major problem that most people do not realize until they get stranded with a flat tire. | |||

| The bridgestone dueler h/t tires have been known to have wear (vibration) issues, due to the tires being a softer tire, according to many chevrolet and gmc service managers that i have called. i received two tires, balancing/rotation free, but i had to buy two as well. i feel since gm dealerships know about this issue, they should send out a recall. i have had my tires balanced and rotated many times (about every 3,000 miles), but the owners manual states every 5000 - 8000 miles. even-though there is a problem, they wouldn't pay due to my vehicle had too many miles (35,600) on it, but what they won't admit is that fact that i've had to pay extra money for additional balance and rotations. if there is a known issue, there should have been a recall; even-though that may cost them money, but it's gm's responsibility and that will cost them customers in the future!! *nm | |||

| Electrical components are not working. odometer, fuel gauge, oil gauge, battery gauge, temperature gauge do not work - the only gauge that does work is the speedometer. looking at all the complaints, i should assume the speedometer will be going out. the temperature gauge could be very dangerous - it reads 250 - 260 all the time. you do not know if your are running hot or not. the gas gauge needle is totally upset down - we have to go off our how many miles 'til we run out go gas screen to determine how much gas we have. i've replaced the power steering pump - $775, the chip for the gas pedal (when out - you could not go any faster than 10 miles per hour $800), the driver side leather seat started to wear down @ 40,000 miles - now has a tear in it, the steering column makes a knocking noise, the dash makes a popping noise when the air conditioner is on, front seem to wear down fast, etc. i could go on, but.......... it seems i got a lemon. this was a $47,000 sticker priced car - you would think you wouldn't have this many problems. there seems to be a lot of complaints on instrument panel problems - seems chev should look into this - dangerous. these are family - children vehicles!!! *tr | |||
