TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE THE SPARE YOU MUST INSERT A ROD AND TURN TO BRING THE SPARE DOWN. THE ROD FAILS TO CONNECT PROPERLY AS A RESULT YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOWER THE SPARE. WHEN ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CONTACTED THEY SAID THERE WERE MANY INSTANCES JUST LIKE OURS. THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT THE SPARE WAS TIGHTENED TOO MUCH CAUSING THE SHAFT(WHICH PASSES DIRECTLY OVER THE TIRE) TO BEND. MY HUSBAND, DANIEL R. NORIZ, HAS A 2000CHEVY SILVERADO Z71. HIS VIN # IS 2GCEK19T6Y329756. HIS TRUCK HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE STOPPED TO HELP A 2000GMC SIERRA OWNER BRING HIS SPARE DOWN AS WELL. HE WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WAS HAVING TROUBLE BRINGING HIS SPARE DOWN. MY SISTER-IN-LAW HAS A 2000 GMC SIERRA WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK
