Dmv las vegas has salvaged my truck in California. My truck was bought 3 plus years ago. I have a clean title. Nevada has refused to retag my truck and said it was unsafe to drive. The truth is they id theft me and made the error on my truck that is in great shape it drives and handles great. I have changed several parts. This is just maintence and I have insppected it and find it to be fraud per certian people in dmv but the error is in one persons hands to block me from driving it. My friends wonder how much more I can take from all the fraud I have dealth with and now its my truck
- the contact stated that while driving his 2000 S10 Chevrolet (failure mileage: 135000) at 60 mph across a bridge, the cable that holds the spare tire under the truck failed. The tire fell to the ground then bounced into on coming traffic. Presently, the cable has not been repaired. Updated
From a stationary position at a stop light I proceeded through a moderate dip into the middle of the busy intersection. While traveling through the intersection the spare tire completely fell off of underside of 2000 Chevy S-10 truck. Upon inspection, I noticed that the cable snapped approximately 1/8 inch inside of the connector at the end of the cable. I retained as many of the parts as I could find including the end where the cable snapped (they were in the middle of a busy intersection), cable and winch are still attached to car, and spare tire remains in the bed of the truck. Car turning behind me luckily was not following closely and was able to negotiate around the tire rolling through the intersection.
Passlock failed on several occassions. Dealer repaired each time at no charge(warrenty) brakes failed before 15000miles, had to replace both front rotors. Dealer refuses to acknowledge any fault or reimbursement. We beleive that since the millage is so low, the dealer should reimburse us for the repairs.
The spare tire which was mounted onto the vehicle by a cable unexpectedly broke and caused the spare tire to fall to the ground while the vehicle was in motion. Dealer had been contacted. There was no accident or injuries associated with this incident.

Door panel molded plastic mounting clips have broken. 2 screws behind the door handle are the stress points for closing doors. The plastic clips used by these screws have broken off fron the door panel. Everytime I close the door, panel pulls away from door. Other than panels clips this is the only way it secures to the door. Panel clips are not designed to undergo the stress of closing the door. Having the clips out of plastic with no metal reinforcement they break causing the panel to come loose. Materials need a metal reinforcement to with stand the every day stress of closing doors. Both driver and passenger have identical flaws. Middle console has same mounting clips and has also broken in indentical fashion. Plastic is not acceptable for such areas of high stress.
