From a stationary position at a stop light i proceeded through a moderate dip into the middle of the busy intersection. while traveling through the intersection the spare tire completely fell off of underside of 2000 chevy s-10 truck. upon inspection, i noticed that the cable snapped approximately 1/8 inch inside of the connector at the end of the cable. i retained as many of the parts as i could find including the end where the cable snapped (they were in the middle of a busy intersection), cable and winch are still attached to car, and spare tire remains in the bed of the truck. car turning behind me luckily was not following closely and was able to negotiate around the tire rolling through the intersection. *jb
Passlock failed on several occassions. dealer repaired each time at no charge(warrenty) brakes failed before 15000miles, had to replace both front rotors. dealer refuses to acknowledge any fault or reimbursement. we beleive that since the millage is so low, the dealer should reimburse us for the repairs.
Water leaks into the passenger's floorboard. truck has been taken in for repair 5 times and it still leaks water into the floor.
Door panel molded plastic mounting clips have broken. 2 screws behind the door handle are the stress points for closing doors. the plastic clips used by these screws have broken off fron the door panel. everytime i close the door, panel pulls away from door. other than panels clips this is the only way it secures to the door. panel clips are not designed to undergo the stress of closing the door. having the clips out of plastic with no metal reinforcement they break causing the panel to come loose. materials need a metal reinforcement to with stand the every day stress of closing doors. both driver and passenger have identical flaws. middle console has same mounting clips and has also broken in indentical fashion. plastic is not acceptable for such areas of high stress.
