WHEELS
I HEARD NOISE FROM THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL. JACKED UP THE TRUCK AND FOUND THE ENTIRE WHEEL LOOSE. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TORQUED THE HUB NUT AND SAID IT WAS FINE TO DRIVE. TOOK THE TRUCK ON A TRIP AND HAD CONSTANT PROBLEMS AND NOISE FROM THAT SIDE OF VEHICLE. RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW HUB BUT WAS OK TO DRIVE. DROVE TO A CONFERENCE 200MILES AWAY AND BROKE DOWN. TOWED THE TRUCK TO A DIFFERENT DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT BOTH HUBS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRUCK HAS 75K MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE ADVISORS AT BOTH DEALERSHIPS THAT THEY HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES ON THIS MODEL TRUCK. I ASKED IF GM WAS LOOKING AT A POSSIBLE RECALL AND GOT A NEGATIVE. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILED A COMPLAINT (CASE# 1-60491961) AND WAS POLITELY TOLD THAT SINCE I WASN'T THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY "TUFF BEANS." I TOLD THE REP I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY GM WOULD WANT TO WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES TO LOOK INTO THIS TYPE OF A PROBLEM. NO RESPONSE. IF THE LOOSE, OR IMPROPERLY TORQUED, HUB NUT CAUSED THE HUB TO FAIL, SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR GM TO CONSIDER. TS

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
ALL FOUR BRAKE ROTORS RUSTED OUT ON MY 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO AFTER ONLY 15,000 MILES AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY RUSTED OUT FROM THE INSIDE AND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON RECURRING PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET TRUCK BRAKE ROTORS. OF COURSE, IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I DO NOT THINK ROTORS SHOULD RUST OUT AFTER SUCH A SHORT TIME PERIOD AND WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE?

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CURVY MAOUNTAIN ROAD AND STEERING TO THE LEFT IN A TURN. MY STEERING LOCKED UP AND I HAD NO CONTROL. I GOT THE TRUCK STOPPED BEFORE WE WENT OVER A SEVERAL HUNDRED FOOT DROP. I HAD MY WIFE, 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, AND 6 MONTH OLD SON IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. I GOT THE STEERING UNLOCKED AND DROVE HOME. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID SINCE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEY WILL NOT FIX OR REPLACE ANYTHING IN THE FRONT END OR STEERING WITHOUT DUPLICATING THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A TRUCK THAT HAS DONE THIS. I USALLY HAVE MY CHILDREN WITH ME IN A TRUCK THAT IS UNSAFE. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT HE WILL NOT AUTHORIZE ANY REPAIR WITHOUT DUPLICATION. I ASKED HIM WHY HE WOULD SEND A TRUCK OUT THAT WAS UNSAFE. ALL HE COULD SAY WAS I CARE BUT NO REPAIRS WITHOUT DUPLICATION. I CONACTED GM AND I AM WAITING A REPLY.
