OUTSIDE DISC BRAKE PAD ON RIGHT REAR WHEEL WEARS OUT PREMATURELY CAUSING THE BRAKE DISC TO BE DAMAGED. REAR RIGHT SIDE AXLE IS ALLOED TO FLOAT FROM SIDE TO SIDE IN THE AXLE HOUSING ALLOWING THE BRAKE PAD TO BE LOADED BY THE WEIGHT OF THE TRIUCK DURING NORMAL OPERATION. THIS LOADING CAUSES THE PREMATURE BRAKE PAD WEAR.

TIRES ARE OUT OF ROUND. I HAVE A 2004 Z71 THAT HAS 8,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER HAS PUT FOUR SETS OF TIRES ON IT. THEY WONT ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. CAN YOU HELP? THE TIRES ARE BRIDGESTONE DUELERS A/T 17"*JB

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT (SO FAR) TWICE AND THE FIRST TIME THEY DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE SO THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME THE SERVICE TECH RODE WITH ME AND COULD HEAR THE PROBLEM. THEY TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND DIAGNOSED IT AS "TRANSFER CASE DRIVELINE GROWL". THE DEALER CALLED CHEVROLET/GM IN DETOIT AND WAS TOLD THAT "THERE IS NOT A CORRECTION@THIS TIME-NO REPAIR SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED".*AK

THE PLASTIC TAILGATE HANDLE BEZEL KEEPS FALLING OUT EVERYTIME THE TAILGATE IS LOWERED. IT MAY FLY OFF WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT BEHIND MY TRUCK.*AK

WHEN AT LOW IDLE THE POWER STEERING IS INOPERABLE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO MY DEALER @ TOLD IT IS NORMAL . I DO NOT FEEL THAT A CAR THAT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN AT LOW IDLE IS CONSIDERED NORMAL.*AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. WHEN DRIVING TRANSMISSION SOUNDED AND RODE ROUGHLY. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER ON THREE OCCASIONS . DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED. *AK

THE GRILLE GUARD IS BLOCKING THE HEADLIGHTS, MAKING VISIBILITY ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT DIFFICULT. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER FOR A REPLACEMENT GRILL.*AK

HEADLIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT WELL DUE TO CONDENSATION, ESPECIALLY IN THE RAIN AND AT NIGHT. THIS DECREASES THE VISIBILITY ON THE ROAD.*AK

VEHICLE HAS BAD LIGHTS, MAKING THE VIEW ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT VERY DIFFICULT. ANYTIME THAT THE HIGH BEAMS WERE TURNED THE OTHER LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF.*AK THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE HEAD LIGHTS HAVE SHADOWS IN THEM. THE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL ON BOTH HIGH AND LOW BEAM SHARE THE SAME SCREW FOR ADJUSTMEN. ALONG THE SIDES OF THE VEHICLES THERE ARE SHADOWS THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IN CERTAIN AREAS AT NIGHT. *TC
