ON 3-18-19 AT APPROXIMATELY 1600 HOURS WE WERE TRAVELING NORTH ON I 84 NEAR NEWBURGH, NY. I WAS DRIVING A 2016 CHEVROLET 2500 SILVERADO (45,000 MILES) TOWING A 2019 GRAND DESIGN 5TH WHEEL RV. WE WERE TRAVELING IN THE TRAVEL LANE WHEN A PICKUP PULLED ALONGSIDE HONKING HIS HORN, THE DRIVER WAS POINTING AT THE CAMPER. I PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED THE CABLE HOLDING UP MY SPARE TIRE BROKE, THE SPARE DROPPED TO THE PAVEMENT BOUNCING UNDER THE CAMPER. I DID A QUICK REPAIR GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND SPENT THE NIGHT IN A MOTEL. THE NEXT MORNING I SPENT 2 HOURS REPAIRING THE CAMPER ENOUGH TO GET IT TO OUR RESIDENCE IN MAINE. DAMAGE REPAIR BILL TO THE RV WAS $9100.00. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK INTO QUIRK CHEVROLET BANGOR ME WHERE I PURCHASED IT NEW AND THEIR MECHANICS INSPECTED THE TIRE HOIST. THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE CABLE FRAYED AND BROKE. THE SPARE WAS INSPECTED BEFORE OUR TRIP SOUTH IN FEB.AND WAS SECURELY IN PLACE WITH NO MOVEMENT. THE CABLE WAS IN NEW CONDITION WITH NO RUST. I DEALT WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE GAVE THEM ACCIDENT REPORTS AND ALL INFO NEEDED. MAY 5TH GM SENDS OUT ESIS FIELD INSPECTOR RON YEAGER. MR. YEAGER STATES HE HAS NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE ON SUCH A NEW VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY A MONTH LATER I'M IN CONTACT WITH GM THEY DENY THE CLAIM FOR REPAIRS BUT HAVE NO EXPLANATION AS TO THE CAUSE. THIS SPARE TIRE SYSTEM ON GM TRUCKS HAS LONG BEEN KNOWN FOR ITS FAILURES. USUALLY THE CABLES RUST IN PLACE AND YOU CAN'T GET THE TIRE DOWN WHEN NEEDED. I'VE ALWAYS OWNED GM TRUCKS AND USUALLY PLACE THE SPARE IN THE TRUCK BED DUE TO THIS POOR SYSTEM. IF THE RV WAS NOT BEHIND MY TRUCK THAT 65LB SPARE COULD HAVE DONE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLES/PERSONS TRAVELING BEHIND ME.
