I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE SINCE NOVEMBER OF 98. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO SUPREME CHEVROLET FOR A VIBRATION (12/22/98). THE SEATS, CENTER CONSOLE, STEERING WHEEL, CUP HOLD, ETC. VIBRATE AND SHAKE ERRATICALLY WHEN I REACH A HIGHER SPEED. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO BE DEFECTIVE, THAT DID NOT HELP. THE VIBRATION IS GETTING WORSE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR MONTHS TO GET THIS FIXED. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO. GM HAS NO FIX! IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A VEHICLE TO RIDE LIKE THIS. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET THIS VEHICLE FIXED. HELP! HELP! HELP! NOTE: THE ONLY QUESTIONS I MAY NOT HAVE ANSWERED CORRECTLY IS THE DOT NUMBER REGARDING THE TIRES AND IF THE VEHICLE IS 3 POINT, MOTOR, OR 2 POINT BELT. *AK( DOT NUMBER: T302453 TIRE SIZE: P235/75R16 )
