MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING A REMOTE AREA OF COLORADO WHEN WE HAD A TIRE GO FLAT. OK, I'LL JUST GET THE SPARE TIRE AND REPLACE IT. EASY RIGHT? NO! THIS CHEVROLET SPARE TIRE SECONDARY RELEASE WOULD NOT RELEASE NO MATTER WHAT I DID. I WORKED ON IT FOR HOURS AND SEVERAL OTHER DRIVERS STOPPED TO HELP. THERE IS NO WAY ANYONE COULD EVER RELEASE THIS TIRE. MY WIFE IS A TYPE 1 DIABETIC AND HERE WE ARE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE FOR 6 HOURS AND SHE HAS NO FOOD. THIS COULD HAVE ENDED VERY BADLY. ALL BECAUSE OF THIS HORRIFIC POOR DESIGN. NOW AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT NEARLY EVERY CHEVY TRUCK HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RECALL ON THIS? WE MADE IT BACK TO OUR HOME 10 HOURS AND $450 LATER. THE SPARE TIRE IS STILL STUCK EVEN AFTER THE LOCAL GARAGE WORKED ON IT ALSO SAYING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.
