SUSPENSION
THE TRUCK STARTED A VIBRATING/SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AT ABOUT 1000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN PUT OFF AND OUTRIGHT LIED TO ABOUT THE PROBLEM. AT TIMES IT IS SO SEVERE THAT IT WILL CAUSE THE CD PLAYER TO SKIP. THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS ACKOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM IS COMMON TO THESE TRUCKS. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS TRIED TO BLAME THE DEALERS FOR INACTION, BUT I HAVE A LOCAL DEALER THAT HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED BY CHEVY TO TRY DIFFERENT SHOCKS, SPRINGS ETC. TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM ON OTHER TRUCKS, AND HAS HAD SOME SUCCESS. I ONLY WANT THEM TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING SINCE NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE UP TILL NOW. THE VIBRATION CAN BE DANGEROUS SINCE IT SOMETIMES STARTS WITHOUT WARNING. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
THE BRAKES GET HARD AND WON'T WORK, THEN THEY SUDDENLY LOCK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US SEVERAL TIMES, AND TO THE SERVICE GUY ONCE. THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT WAS IN FOR SERVICE, THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER THEY WENT OUT ON THE SERVICE GUY, THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY WENT OUT AGAIN, AND THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. THEY JUST WENT OUT AGAIN, AT AN INTERSECTION, AND WE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. IT IS BACK AT THE CHEVY DEALER, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW, AND CHEVY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IS ANYONE ELSE REPORTING PROBLEMS WITH THESE TRUCKS?
