AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES
MY TRUCK HAS BEEN MODIFIFED BY EITHER A POWERFUL ENTITY OR BY THE DEALERSHIP ITSELF AT THE DIRECTION OF A POWERFUL ENTITY. TRUCK HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS. I BOUGHT FROM SAME DEALERSHIP OUT OF SHOW ROOM AND TRUSTED THEM. AFTER ACCIDENT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I COULDNT FIGURE OUT WHY. SEE BURN MARKS AROUND EDGES OF AIRBAGS ALONG WITH CONDUCTIVE STRING SEW INTO THEM. ALSO NOTICED EXTRA CONDUCTORS ADDED ALONG WITH EXTRA INSULATOR LAYER. CIGARETTE OUTLETS ALL MANIPULATED AFTER REPLACED WITH HIGHER OUTPUT PLUGS. ALSO FOUND AIR BAG SENSORS WHICH ARE DISCONTINUTED AS THEY BELONG TO TRUCKS FROM 2007-2009. FRAME IS FOR A 1TON TRUCK WHICH HAS BEENGREASED FRONT TO BACK. AXELS ARE CLEARLY OLDER AND ARE LABELED FOR A CK2500 (1 TOM) MODEL DRIVE SHAFT AND MANY OTHER COMPONENTS HAVE MARKINGS THROUGHOUT TO ESTABLISH PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE TO GUIDE SHORT OF ELECTRICITY TO DRIVER TO SHOCK ME. MODLES MODFIFIED TO GAIN ACCESS TO TRUCK. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. YOU GUYS HAVE TO SEE THIS TRUCK IN PERSON. WAY TOO UCH TO LIST. DEALERSHIP HAD IT LONG TIME TO DO REPAIRS. WHEN TAKEN BACK TO THEM TO FIGURE OUT HWY THE LOUD SHAKES, THE DEALERSHP CERTIFIED SHOP TECH STATED EVERYTHING IS PERFECTL NORMAL. THAT WA S A LIE.EEWWDDUUUUUUUUUUUUUEFU

STEERING
COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I WAS LEAVING MY LOCAL BANK AND THE SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND IT HAD NOT RETURNED. I DID SOME ONLINE SEARCHING AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL BUT THE SYMPTOMS WERE LOSS AND IMMEDIATE RETURN OF POWER STEERING BUT THOUGHT MAYBE MINE WAS ALSO ASSOCIATED. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO LYNN SMITH CHEVROLET IN BURLESON TX AND WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE WAS BAD AND THE ENTIRE STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS $3,000 OUT OF MY POCKET. MY TRUCK IS A 2015 WITH 53,XXX MILES IT HAD NEVER ACTED STRANGE OR GIVEN ME ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL THAT ONE INCIDENT. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY TO HAVE A BREAK IN TRAFFIC AS IT CAUSED ME TO OCCUPY ALL THREE LANES WITH MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE TRUCK.

SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE I'VE NOTICED A RUFF RIDE . IT FEELS LIKE IT'S COMING FROM REAR END . I HIT A SLIGHT BUMP ON ROAD WHILE DRIVING AND IT BOUNCES AND VIBRATES ROUGHLY. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP A MONTH OR SO AFTER BUYING IT AND WAS TOLD MY TIRES WHERE NOT BALANCED , SO THEY BALANCED THEM AND STILL CAME OUT THE SAME . DECIDED TO GET A SECOND OPINION MONTHS LATER AND WAS TOLD IT HAD WEAK SHOCKS IN FRONT SO THEY CHANGED THOSE OUT . STILL NOTHING HAD CHANGED . SO RETURNED IT TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP A WEEK LATER AND THEY THEN DID THE REAR SHOCKS MENTIONING THEY WERE IN WEAK CONDITION. STILL NO CHANGE . AT THAT TIME MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY SO I GUESS THEY TROUBLESHOOT THE CHEAPEST WAY JUST TO GET THE CUSTOMER OUT OF THEIR AND SAVE MONEY ON THEIR END . NOW THAT MY WARRANTY IS JUST OVER I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE GIVING ME OPTIONS I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD WHEN MY WARRANTY WAS IN EFFECT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
THE TRUCK SHAKES AT SPEEDS OF FROM 35 MPH, THEN IT STOPS AND WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60 AND 70 ON THE THRUWAY IT SHAKES AGAIN. THE VIBRATION IS TRANSFERRED THROUGH THE GAS PEDEL AND INTO THE SEATS AND CONSOLE. ALSO WHEN BRAKEING IT SHAKES. ITS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. ALSO THE VOLTAGE METER DROPS AND I LOSE DASH BOARD LIGHTS.THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. I'M TIRED OF LOSEING VALUABLE DAYS OFF TO DRIVE UP TO DENOOYER CHEVY IN ALBANY TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THIS AGAIN. THE TRUCK TRAVELS STRAIGHT AND TRUE BUT SHAKES AT THOSE SPEEDS, SOMETIME IT MAKES A DROWNING SOUND AS IT HAPPENS.ITS IN THE FRONT END PART OF THE SUSPENSION I BELIEVE. THE TIRES WERE ALL HIGH SPEED BALANCED AND AIR IS PERFECT IN ALL 4 TIRES. HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS?
