DT: CONSUMER OWNS A 1993 CHEVROLET W/T HALF TON PICKUP TRUCK . THE SPARE TIRE FELL OFF WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. THE CONSUMER DETERMINED THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE THE CABLE THAT HOLDS THE SPARE TIRE IS RUSTED. THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE GM DEALER, AND THE DEALER SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND NO REPLACEMENT WAS OFFERED. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE GM MANUFACTURER AND THEY OFFERED NO REMEDY AS WELL. THEY WOULD FORWARD THE INFORMATION TO THEIR ENGINEERING STAFF. THEY DID RECOMMEND REPLACING THE CABLE WITH A SAFER ONE; THEY HAVE NEW ONES OFFERED AT THE DEALER THAT ARE MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT REPLACED THE CABLE AT THIS TIME BUT PLANS TO DO SO. THE CONSUMER HAS CONCERNS FOR…
- Visibility › Windshield wiper/washer › Motor
THE FIRST INCIDENT WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING MADE THE POWER STEERING TO FAIL, THE SECOND INCIDENT IS THE MOTOR FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS KEEPS WORKING ON AND OFF.

- Tires › Tread/belt

THIS TINY, RUBBER RETURN FUEL LINE RUNS FROM ONE INJECTOR TO THE NEXT. WHEN IT BREAKS, IT LEAKS FUEL DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. MAJOR FIRE HAZARD WITH NO PARTS AVAILABLE.
- Equipment › Mechanical › Slide-in camper
FIBERGLASS BED COVER SOLD BY LEONARD BUILDINGS AND TRUCK ACCESSORIES 4239 CAPITOL BLVD. RALEIGH, NC 27604. HEAVY (100+ LBS) COVER HELD ON BY TWO FLIMSY ALUMINUM HINGES. I FOUND THAT ONE HINGE HAD CRACKED COMPLETELY AND THE OTHER ONE PART WAY. HAD THE OTHER HINGE FAILED AND THE COVER BLOWN OFF OF THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND/OR INJURY TO ANY VEHICLE/PERSON WHICH IT HIT. I BELIVE THAT LEONARD SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL/REPAIR THESE COVERS OR AT LEAST NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER.
