| I am the original owner of a 2002 gmc envoy. i live in new jersey and i recently came out of my house and found i had a flat front tire. this is the first time since we purchased our envoy that we attempted to change a flat tire on the envoy ourselves. i wanted to switch the flat with my full size spare. when my husband tried to remove the spare the hoist that holds the spare tire would not budge. he eventually jacked up the vehicle and removed the flat tire and took it to be repaired. later that day i brought my envoy to a tire store to replace all my tires. the service attendant told me he could not lower the hoist to remove the spare either and suggested i take it to my gmc dealer. i brought my envoy back to the dealer i purchased it from and they also could not lower the hoist. i spoke to the service manager and he told me it was a | |||

| My front tire had a leak and was down to the rim. i was on a level service and an ideal spot for one to change a tire. i read the service instructions several times and followed them exactly, but could not get the spare tire off of the suv. the secondary lock would not come off. i ended up calling aaa to come out and try and help. the technician said that he had seen this on other envoys/trailblazers, but not to this extent. he worked on it for about 30 minutes with no luck. finally, he had to fill it up with air and i had to drive to the next gas station to fill it up more. i had to keep doing that until i found a place that could jack up my car and fix the tire on the spot (without using the spare). i still cannot get the spare off of my truck. i am very upset with this. *ak | |||
