“On my silverado with just under 39,000 the left wheel bearing had to be replaced on 8/9/11. On 10/6/11 the right side had to be replaced. I contacted chevy and they will not look into any complaints on the failure of these wheel bearings with such little mileage. Both times my truck had to be towed. I do travel the interstate routes and an concerned about my safety and others on the road but chevy told me I'm entitled to my opinion.”
NHTSA complaint #10435305, filed 2011-11, 39,000 miles“Steering wheel vibrates when applying brake pedal. This occurs when braking from speeds of 60mph or more. I had the agency inspect the brake system and alignment, while still under warranty. They stated the alignment was correct, and did not find any problems with the brake system. I asked they inspect the bearing and shaft of both front wheels, but the service form did not show they inspected it. Problem persists to this day.”

The problem is so bad that it shakes the seat so violently that it is a health hazard to drive around. I have been driving my truck for two years now as my daily driver. The frame shakes so bad on the freeway that it has caused me back strains and neck pain when driving for over an hour. I have been to americas tire many times thinking it was a tire problem they have rebalanced the tires and even replaced the whole set with another brand with no improvement. …”

NHTSA complaint #10240244, filed 2008-08, 18,000 miles“I bought a 2007 cherolet silverado crew cab used (19,000 mi.) from maroone cheverolet. I noticed that the steering was shakey and there was a vibration. The salesman said that the truck had a full new car warranty and they would fix it. Note: they claimed to do a 117 point check to be GM certified! This truck shakes, wobbles and rattles from driving from normal to a little bump in the road. Transmission was klunking between gears, it is better, but not normal. The gas millage does not come close to the advertise sticker on window of 16 - 21 mpg. …”
