TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE FULL SIZE SPARE IS FIRESTONE 265/75R16 VS THE FOUR GOODYEAR TIRES SIZE 265/70R17. USING DIFFERENT SIZE TIRES IS NOT RECOMMEND IN THE OWNERS MANUAL SO WHY WOULD THEY GIVE YOU A SPARE THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER TIRES & DO NOT MENTION ANY HAZARDS. *AK

TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED A TIRE FAILURE YET, BUT I HAVE CONCERNS ON THE SPARE TIRE THAT CAME WITH MY VEHICLE. THE 4 MAIN TIRES ARE GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP 265/70R17 AND THE SPARE TIRE IS A FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT P265/75R16. THE OWNER'S MANUAL SPECIFICALLY STATES TO USE SAME SIZE TIRES & TYPE OF TIRES. THE SPARE TIRE SHOULD BE THE SAME AS THE PREMIUM TIRE PACKAGE I UPGRADED MY PACKAGE TO... NOT A SMALLER SIZE WITHOUT ANY WARNING OF WHAT DAMAGE IT COULD DO TO THE VEHICLE IF YOU USED IT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD.... I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE THE SAME SIZE SPARE. IF NOT, AT LEAST INFORM YOU OF THE POTENTIAL DAMAGE ONE COULD DO TO THEIR VEHICLE OR PERSON.*AK (TIRESIZE: P265/75R16)

TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
TRUCK CAME THROUGH WITH 17"WHEELS AND 17" GOODYEAR TIRES, THE SPARE TIRE IS A 16" WHEEL AND 16" FIRESTONE TIRE. MY TRUCK IS A 4 WHEEL DRIVE, IF I WOULD HAVE TO USE THIS SPARE, I FEEL IT WOULD BE UNSAFE PUTTING DIFFERENT SIZE WHEEL AND TIRE ON MY VEHICLE,. I HAVE A COMPLAINT INTO THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT THEY SAID THAT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, THAT THIS IS THE WAY THIS VEHICLE COMES THROUGH, I WAS NEVER TOLD THIS BY THE DEALERSHIP, I ALSO COMPLAINED TO THEM, AND THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING YET. MY COMPLAINT NO. WITH CHEVROLET IS (05525998), THE PERSON I SPOKE TO WAS NAMED CHRISTINE. THE TELEPHONE NO I CALLED WAS 1-800-222-1020. *AK

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
AFTER USING THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER FOR A SHORT PERIOD, A LOUD CRACK WAS HEARD. THE PLASTIC FRAME HOLDING THE REAR WINDOW SPLIT IN TWO PIECES. THE REAR WINDOW IS NOW SOMEWHAT LOOSE. WE ARE AFRAID TO TURN ON THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER FOR FEAR OF THE WINDOW SHATTERING. WE WILL NOT TRY AND REMOVE THE WINDOW AND PLACE IT IN ITS HOLDER BEHIND THE SEAT, AS IT MAY ALSO SHATTER AND SHOWER THE REAR SEAT PASSENGERS WITH GLASS. *AK
