TIRES
THE VEHICLE HAS HAD A VIBRATION FROM DAY ONE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER NO LESS THAN 5 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES, 5 SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED. THE VIBRATION WAS REDUCED BUT NOT ELIMINATED. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I FEEL THAT THE VEHICLE MAY BECOME UNSAFE AS TIME GOES ON BECAUSE THE VIBRATION GETS WORSE OVER TIME.( DOT NUMBER: )

#714771November 14, 1999
SUSPENSION:FRONT, POWER TRAIN:AXLE HUBS, SUSPENSION:MULTIPLE AXLE, SUSPENSION:REAR:SHOCK ABSORBER
EXCESSIVE SHIMMY IN THE FRONT END AT APPROXIMATELY 60 TO 65 MPH. TRUCK HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR REPAIR, BUT NO REPAIR WAS AVAILABLE. WE WERE TOLD WHEN A REPAIR WAS AVAILABLE WE WOULD BE CALLED. TO DATE, THERE IS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE. I MY OPINION IT IS A HAZARDOUS SITUATION DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL, ESPECIALLY IN WET WEATHER. WE HAVE NO IDEA IF THE PROBLEM IS CAUSING OTHER FRONT END DAMAGE. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED AND BALANCED, FRONT END ALIGNED AND THEN WE BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AS PER BULLETIN #99-03-002 (REPLACED BOTH FRONT HUB BEARING ASSEMBLIES/ RIGHT AND LEFT REAR SPRING EYE BUSHINGS, AND BOTH REAR SHOCKS).*AK
