BOUGHT TRUCK NEW. BOUGHT A BRAND NEW FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER TO TOW. SOMETIMES WHILE TOWING THE TRAILER, THE TRUCK WILL "SHUDDER" WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MAYBE 3 OR 4 TIMES IN THE 2 YEARS THAT I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK AND TRAILER. IT "SHUDDERS" BAD ENOUGH THAT IT HAS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN IT DOES THIS, THE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL AND ALL MY GAUGES COME ON. THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACH RESET. ALL THIS WHILE DRIVING. BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL THEY DO IS POINT THE FINGER AT THE TRAILER MANUFACTURER. TRAILER MANUFACTURER SAYS THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AND IT IS ONLY HAPPENING TO CHEVY TRUCKS THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND TRAILER

STEERING IS ALWAYS A BIT LOOSE. AT ONLY 70,000 THE ABS AND STABILITRAK WARNINGS CAME ON. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND LEARNED THAT THE PITMAN SHAFT IS BACKING ITSELF OUT OF THE STEERING ASSEMBLY. NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. YET, CHEVY HAS 6 TSBS ON THIS ISSUE (THE LATEST SAYING TO USE SOME LOCK-TITE ON IT); THEY HAD A NEWLY DESIGNED PART; AND, CHECKING INVENTORY YOU LEARN THAT DEALERS HAVE NEW STEERING ASSEMBLIES IN INVENTORY FOR 2016 AND 2017. SEEMS AS THOUGH CHEVY KNOWS IT HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY/STEERING ISSUE AND HAVE MADE A BUSINESS DECISION TO NOT RECALL UNTIL THERE IS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AND PEOPLE DIE. THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS ON THIS SITE OF FAILURES AT MILEAGES FROM 1700 ON UP. THIS CLEARLY IS THE RESULTS OF A DESIGN OR SYSTEM FLAW AND IS SYSTEMIC. THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

HELLO I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO K3500 LTZ DUALLY FROM (XXXX) IN LAKEVILLE, MN FEB 2017 I HAD APPROXIMATELY 25K MILES ON IT AND I HAD NOTICED THE FRONT TIRES WERE STARTING TO FEATHER AND MAKING A STRANGE NOISE AND THE TREAD STARED TO CHUNK OFF. SO I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE ABOVE DEALER AND THEY GET MICHELIN TO COVER 30% FOR A NEW SET OF FRONT TIRES WHICH STILL COST ME APPROX. $700.00. WELL 6 MONTHS LATER I HAVE 21K MILES ON THE NEW TIRES AND THEY ARE STARTING TO DO THE SAME THING I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN TO THE DEALER TWO WEEKS AGO TO HAVE THEM ASSESS THE SITUATION AND HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM. SO ONE WEEK AGO TODAY I CALLED GM DIRECTLY AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL BACK WITH IN TWO BUSINESS DAYS AND OR NO LATER THAN FRIDAY. WELL FRIDAY HAS PASSED I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO I USE THIS TRUCK TO MAKE MY LIVING AND I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY AND THE PRE MATURE WEAR ON THE TRUCKS FRONT END COMPONENTS. THERE IS A STRANGE VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END AND IT PULLS TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER ON THE FREEWAY THE DEALER HAS ALIGNED THE FRONT END WITH NO RESULTS.
