POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN DEC 2014 AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP PRETTY MUCH EVER SINCE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I FELT A VERY SUBSTANTIAL VIBRATION AROUND 76+ MPH. INITIALLY, 2 TIRES WERE REPLACED AND BALANCED; THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEN THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT GM SAID I HAVE TO PUT 500LBS IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AND THE VIBRATION WILL STOP; THIS IS NOT EVEN REMOTELY PRACTICAL. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED AND FORCE BALANCED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE PAST 2 YRS. IN JUNE 2016, THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE TIRES WERE MOUNTED ON THE RIMS INCORRECTLY AND REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES AND BALANCED THEM; THE VIBRATION CONTINUED. AFTER TRYING TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP OVER THE SAME ISSUE, THEY WILL NO LONGER CALL ME BACK. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AT LEAST 8 TIMES WITHIN THE PAST MONTH TO NO AVAIL. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE INDICATED THE PROBLEM IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE DRIVE SHAFT B/C THE ENTIRE TRUCK VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THEREFORE, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO ROTATE AND BALANCE THE TIRES. AFTER DISCUSSING THE HISTORY OF THE TRUCK WITH THEM AND REQUESTED THE SERVICE DEPT. CHECK THE DRIVE SHAFT, THEY STATED THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT IS NOT THE DRIVE SHAFT (WHICH WAS NOT INSPECTED TO MY KNOWLEDGE) AND TOLD ME THE TIRES NEED TO BE FORCED BALANCED AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. THIS DEALERSHIP REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR ASSISTANCE. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS ISSUE FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW AND CANNOT GET HELP. FURTHER, NEITHER OF THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE MADE ME AWARE OF THE BULLETIN AND HAVE NOT TRIED ANYTHING PAST THE REPLACING & BALANCING THE TIRES. THE VIBRATION IS SO BAD OTHER THINGS IN MY TRUCK ARE STARTING TO COME LOOSE AND VIBRATE.

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WHILE IN MOTION, I'VE NOTICED A SHAKING COMING FROM THE REAR END OF MY 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 DOUBLE CAB. MY TRUCK SITS ON FACTORY 20 INCH RIMS. I'VE HAD THE WHEELS BALANCED WHEN I REPLACED THE TIRES. SHAKING CONTINUES. SHAKING MORE NOTICEABLE AFTER REACHING SPEEDS OF 60 M.P.H. AND ABOVE. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER OF THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO FIX OR SOLUTION. THE SHAKING FIRST STARTED AFTER THE TRUCK REACHED 10,000 MILES AND HAS NOT GOTTEN ANY BETTER IN THE PAST 5,500 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS PERSISTING AND POSSIBLY GETTING WORSE.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PURCHASED NEW 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 IN JANUARY OF 2016. EXPERIENCED A VIBRATION AT ALL SPEEDS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF PURCHASE. VIBRATION GETS WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. VEHICLE CAME WITH STEEL WHEELS FROM THE FACTORY. VIBRATION CAN BE FELT IN THE SEAT AND SEEN IN THE CENTER CONSOLE. VIBRATION IS COMING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE. REPLACED WHEELS AND TIRES WITH AFTERMARKETS. THE AFTERMARKETS WERE BIGGER AND HEAVIER AND MADE VIBRATION EXTREMELY WORSE. AFTER ASSURING THAT I WASN'T DEALING WITH A PROBLEM WITH THE NEW WHEELS AND TIRES, I PUT THE FACTORIES BACK ON AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 3 1/2 MONTHS. THE VEHICLE FAILED PICO SCOPE TESTS. THEY PUT SEVERAL NEW TIRES ON THE VEHICLE, CHANGED BOTH REAR AXLES, AND CHANGED RING AND PINION IN REAR END. THESE STEPS HELPED REDUCE THE VIBRATION, BUT DID NOT TOTALLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THEY THEN DECIDED TO PUT ALUMINUM WHEELS ON THE TRUCK, WHICH HELPED REDUCE THE VIBRATION DOWN TO BARELY NOTICEABLE. MY CONCERN IS BY PUTTING THE LIGHTER WHEEL ON THE VEHICLE TO REDUCE THE VIBRATION, THEY ARE ONLY MASKING THE PROBLEM, SINCE THE HEAVIER THE WHEEL/TIRE ASSEMBLY, THE WORSE THE VIBRATION. THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY DO NOT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING ELSE TO THE VEHICLE. GENERAL MOTORS HAS TOLD ME THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PURSUE THE ISSUE ANY FURTHER. THEY TELL ME THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE BUT NOT SURE WHAT IT IS AND SINCE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE THEY HAVE HONORED THE WARRANTY. HOW DO THEY KNOW THAT IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I BELIEVE THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND THEY ARE PASSING IT ON TO THE CONSUMER. THERE WAS NO DISCLOSURE OF THE ISSUES WITH THESE TRUCKS UPON PURCHASE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS TRUCK AND FEAR FUTURE PROBLEMS WITH THE ISSUE. ALSO, THE TRUCK ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS HAS DOWN SHIFTED ABNORMALLY CAUSING RPMS TO RISE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
TRUCK BEGAN TO HAVE THE CHEVY SHAKES ABOUT THE 12K MILE POINT AND HAS INCREASINGLY GOTTEN WORSE THE MORE MILEAGE THE TRUCK GAINS ( CURRENTLY 14K MILES) I HAVE CALLED AND TALKED TO TECHNICIANS ABOUT THIS AND THEY ENSURED ME THAT ITS NORMAL. I'VE OWNED SEVERAL TRUCKS AND I HAVE NEVER NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO OVER SPEEDS OF 55 WITHOUT HAVING TERRIBLE SHAKES AND WOBBLES IN MY TRUCK. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROPERLY AND FIX THE ISSUE OR BUY BACK THE TRUCKS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE, WHEN A PERSON SPENDS 50K + ON A VEHICLE THIS SHOULD BE THE LAST THING THE SHOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS FEELING SAFE IN THEIR VEHICLE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVROLET PRODUCT AGAIN DUE TO NOT ONLY THIS BUT A NUMBER OF OTHER ISSUES I HAVE WITH THE TRUCK INCLUDING HARD SHIFTING AND EXTREME LACK OF POWER. *TR
