Consumer Description

I HAD JUST EXITED A BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN THE SPARE TIRE FELL FROM UNDER THE TRUCK. AFTER EXAMINING THE SPARE TIRE RETAINING CABLE I FOUND IT HAD RUSTED IN HALF ALLOWING THE TIRE TO FALL. IF THE TIRE HAD FALLEN OUT 30 SECONDS EARLIER IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MULTI CAR PILE UP WITH POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THOSE BEHIND ME. I FEEL THIS CABLE SHOULD BE REPLACED BY STAINLESS STEEL CABLE WHICH WILL NOT RUST OR AT THE VERY LEAST A SECONDARY SAFETY CHAIN BE ADDED TO AT LEAST KEEP THE TIRE WITH THE TRUCK !! I AM NOW AFRAID TO FOLLOW ANY GM MADE TRUCK ! *NM
