VEHICLE IS A 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO EXTENDED CAB PICKUP. IT HAS BEAM SHAKE (GM TERM) AS OUTLINED IN GM PIT#3009C (06/28/06). EXCESSIVE SHAKING UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS MAKES THE VEHICLE NOT DRIVABLE AND HAS CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO SHOCKS AND SHEARING (REPLACED BE GM). GM CURRENTLY HAS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND HAS REFUSED TO REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE AT A FAIR PRICE. I WILL NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THAT I BELIEVE IT IS UNSAFE. IT CURRENTLY IS SITTING AT THE DEALERS LOT. *TR

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH A CURRENT MILEAGE OF 33,500 MILES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON ITS THIRD SET OF WHEEL BEARINGS. EACH TIME THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE WHEEL BEARINGS THE WHEELS WOULD MAKE A GRINDING NOISE, AND THE STEERING WOULD BECOME VERY SHAKY. DURING THE LAST OCCURRENCE, THE ABS LIGHT TURNED ON, AND THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES FAILED. EACH OF THE THREE FAILURES OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH. THE WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE BEARING AND FIXED THE BRAKES, BUT COULD NOT GIVE A REASON FOR THE WHEEL BEARING FAILURE.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2006 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 IN MAY 2006. I HAVE HAD 9 TIRES REPLACED DUE TO BEING OUT OF ROUND (GENERAL TIRES P245/70R17) THE VIBRATION IS SO BAD . I HAVE ALSO HAD THE ROTORS SHIMMIED AT 16,000 MILES. I WAS JUST TOLD TODAY 4-17-07 THAT MY TRUCK HAS A FRAME BEAMING PROBLEM AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN MY TRUCK. AM I TO KEEP REPLACING TIRES FOR AS LONG AS I OWN THE TRUCK? *JB

STEERING COLUMN FELT LOOSE - DEALERSHIP GREASED IT - IT APPEARS THIS WILL BE AN EVERY 10,000 MILES EXPENSE. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ADMIT THE BEAM SHAKE EXISTS THAT I HAVE JUST LOOKED UP AND SAYS THEY DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS CAUSES THE MIRRORS TO BE UNUSABLE. POWER STEERING PUMP IS MAKING NOISES WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO ONE DIRECTION. LIFTERS ARE CLATTERING ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. *JB

THIS VEHICLE IS 9 MONTHS OLD. FROM PURCHASE OF THE NEW VEHICLE THERE WAS A RATTLING NOISE UNDER THE DASH - DEALERSHIP REPLACED FLEX PIPES. THE NOISE HAS COME BACK ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER. FROM PURCHASE OF THE NEW VEHICLE THE LEFT DRIVER SIDE MIRROR SHAKES, AM UNABLE TO SEE OUT OF IT. UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT, THE TRUCK SHAKES. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ADMIT THESE PROBLEMS EXIST. THE VALVES ARE CLATTERING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE DRIVING, NOT JUST WITH ACCELERATING. ROTORS ACT AS THOUGH THEY ARE WARPED. UPON RESETTING THE OIL CHANGE INDICATOR LIGHT, THE BATTERY FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO LOOK INTO THIS. *JB

FRONT END OUT OF ALIGNMENT CONSTANTLY, TIRES WEAR OUT, DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED OR REFINISHED ROTORS THREE OR MORE TIMES AND THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES, THE ENGINE WHILE LIGHTLY ACCELERATING MAKE A NOISE, DEALER SAID HE COULD NOT HEAR THIS NOISE. I AM TRYING TO LEMON LAW THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FRONT END IS A WEAK MANUFACTURER FRONT END AND NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY. *JB

WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A CRACK 3 FEET LONG WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR AFTER REFILLING THE GAS TANK. THE DEFROSTER WAS RUNNING PRIOR TO STOPPING AT THE SERVICE STATION. THERE NO PRIOR DAMAGE TO THE WINDSHIELD, AND I SAW THE CRACK APPEAR AFTER I GOT IN MY TRUCK AND SHUT THE DOOR. *NM
