TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY COLORADO AND I CANNOT GET THE SPARE TIRE TO RELEASE FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTIONS AND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TRIED TO REMOVE THE SPARE AS WELL. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AS I LIVE IN A COLD CLIMATE AND COULD BE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION AND UNABLE TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE BECAUSE THE SPARE WILL NOT RELEASE. DEFINITELY POOR ENGINEERING. *TR
