While backing out of my driveway, the spare tire that is stored underneath the vehicle apparently broke free and fell to the street. Closer inspection revealed that the metal cable, used in conjunction with a winch to secure the full size spare tire, failed due to what appears to be corrosion. Since there was nothing else to secure the tire underneath the vehicle, it simply fell off.

I've had to replace my fuel pump 3 times in the last 6 years. I found out that there was a recall in 2005, but I bought my vehicle in 2011. The dealership will not honor the recall because it's not a open recall any longer.
Service Brakes · at 196,000 miles · reported Sep 17, 2016
Was driving around 45mh and was coming to stop sign but when I went to use brake the pedal went to the floor. I kept pumping which seemed to help just enough to turn into the drive way of a mall that happened to be closed. I AM so thankful that it was late at night or I would have smashed into someone. Shop said main brake line rusted through, a common problem that chevy could care less about. Very sad chevy........
