VIBRATION COMING BACK THROUGH STEERING WHEEL AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. DID RESEARCH ON INTERNET AND SEE MANY CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING SAME ISSUE WITH NO GM RESOLUTION AND GM APPARENTLY TRYING TO SAY IT IS NORMAL. HAD TIRES AND WHEELS FORCED BALANCED 7/29/2016 WHICH DID NOT RESOLVE ISSUE. GM IS AWARE OF THE COMPLAINT ON MY VEHICLE; REF: CLAIM 8-2177021918.

I WAS HAVING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. IN TRAFFIC AFTER HITTING MY BREAKS MANY TIMES I NOTICED MY DASH LIGHTS GO DIM, THE RADIO WOULD CUT OUT ONCE IN A WHILE AND MY GAUGE CLUSTER WOULD RESET JUST LIKE IT LOOKS WHEN YOU FIRST START THE TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN APPROX.30 MIN. I WAS PLANNING ON TAKING IT IN THE FIRST CHANCE I GOT BUT THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING IN MY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, A CAR WAS COMING THE OPPOSITE WAY WHEN AND I HIT MY BREAKS THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY JERKED OUT OF MY HAND AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE UP ONTO THE SIDEWALK AND ALMOST INTO A RETAINING WALL. EVERYTHING WAS DINGING THE ABS AND OTHER LIGHTS WERE ON AND THE WORD STABILITAC WAS DISPLAYED ON THE CENTER DASH. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I GOT HOME AND TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY TRUCK FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND OFFERED NO REAL EXPLANATION FOR WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM OTHER THAN IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. NOW HERE WE ARE A MONTH LATER I'M DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND TAKE MY EXIT FOR WORK. WHEN I HIT MY BREAKS THE LIGHTS GO DIM IN THE TRUCK, THE RADIO GOES OUT, THE ABS AND OTHER INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON, THINGS ARE DINGING AND STABILITRAC IS DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN ON THE DASH. WHEN I STARTED INTO MY TURN THE WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY MANY TIMES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF MY TURN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE OFF RAMP. IT TOOK EVERY BIT OF STRENGTH TO KEEP THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. I RELUCTANTLY CONTINUED ON TO WORK AS IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES. ONE OF THEM I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE ON VIDEO. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT MADE THE FIRST ASSESSMENT AND REPAIR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR AS IT HAS BEEN PROVEN IT CAN AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED IF GM DOESN'T FIX IT.

VEHICLE VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, TO THE POINT THAT IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE. IT IS ESPECIALLY STRONG AT APPROXIMATELY 74 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY CHEVROLET DEALER FOUR TIMES AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED. THE DEALER REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES, MATCH BALANCED THE TIRES THREE TIMES, AND TURNED THE BRAKE ROTORS. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT THE VIBRATION IS DUE TO THE NEW SUSPENSION DESIGN. I FOUND A GM BULLETIN, #PI1354C, THAT OUTLINES A SPECIFIC PROCEDURE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE DEALER DID NOT FOLLOW IT.

AFTER HAVING THE BATTERY REPLACED, THE VEHICLE STARTED GIVING "STABILTRAK SERVICE REQUIRED" "REDUCED POWER TO STEERING" WARNINGS. AT THESE TIMES AND INTERMITTENTLY AFTERWARDS, THESE WOULD APPEAR AND THE STEERING WOULD THEN RESPOND AS IF THE ENGINE WERE NOT RUNNING WHILE UNDERWAY. THIS HAPPENED IN SEVERAL PARKING LOTS REQUIRING CLOSE MANEUVERING AS WELL AS ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE, ENDANGERING MY FAMILY, MYSELF AND OTHERS. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CLAIMED AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE POSITIVE ENGINE LEAD, STATING THAT WAS THE CAUSE. THE SAME ISSUE HAS ARISEN AGAIN AND NOW I AM BEING INFORMED THERE ARE NOW MULTIPLE LOW VOLTAGE CODES DUE TO THIS SHORT. RESEARCHING ONLINE FORUMS, THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AMONG MANY WHO OWN THIS TRUCK. IT WOULD APPEAR THIS COULD BE A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ON APPROX. JUNE 20TH AND CONTINUED UNTIL "REPAIRED" JUNE

I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUES HAPPEN NUMEROUS TIMES. THE FIRST I WAS BACKING UP INTO A PARKING SPOT AND MY SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING CAME ON, AND MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED JERKING LEFT AND RIGHT ON ITS OWN. 2ND TIME I WAS PULLING INTO MY PARENTS DRIVE WAY AND WARNING CAME ON WHILE TURNING CAUSING TRUCK TO JERK AND I ALMOST HIT THE CORNER OF THE HOUSE. A 3RD TIME HAPPENED AGAIN REVERSING BUT THIS TIME MY HEADLIGHTS DIMMED AND I HAD MULTIPLE SERVICE WARNINGS POP UP. A 4TH TIME I WAS AGAIN ABOUT TO REVERSE. I WAS ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN UP AND WHILE IN REVERSE AND FOOT ON BRAKE, I WOULD TURN STEERING WHEEL AND IT WOULD JERK BACK TO CENTER ON ITS OWN. I TOOK VIDEO OF THAT ACCURANCE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY YESTERDAY NIGHT. I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS KEPT GOING DIM THEN BRIGHT. WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL GOING 75MPH I MOVED LEFT TO PASS A VEHICLE, WHEN I TURNED RIGHT SIGNAL ON TO COME BACK TO LANE MY CRUISE DISENGAGED. THIS HAPPEND 5 TIMES. BEFORE ONE OF THE OCCURRENCES WHILE IN CRUISE I TAPPED THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN, AND MY VOLT GAUGE DROPPED TO 10 OR SO AND THE HEADLIGHTS ALMLST SHUT OFF AND ALL LIGHTS IN CAB FLIKERED ON AND OFF. IT ALMOST FELT LIKE THE TRUCK WAS ABOUT TO TURN OFF BUT DIDN'T. LAST ISSUE, A FEW TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO START THE TRUCK AND THE ANTI THEFT DETERANT COMES ON AND I HAVE TO TRY NUMEROS TIMES TO GET TRUCK TO START.
