“Truck began to have the chevy shakes about the 12k mile point and has increasingly gotten worse the more mileage the truck gains ( currently 14k miles) I have called and talked to technicians about this and they ensured me that its normal. I've owned several trucks and I have never not been able to go over speeds of 55 without having terrible shakes and wobbles in my truck. …”
NHTSA complaint #10917620, filed 2016-10, 12,000 miles“Whenevr I back the truck up at slow speeds, the brakes temporarily fail for approximately 1-3 feet. Coming to a stop at slow speeds can also cause the truck to take extra distance to stop. I have changed to new brake pads, turned the rotors, and purchased new tires. The truck bounces severely when traveling at speeds over 50 MPH on concrete roads. Only on concrete. Asphalt has normal ride as soon as the road transitions then the truck bounces.”

I've been told by the service manager of the dealer I purchased the truck from that it is a known issue but there is no fix or solution. The shaking first started after the truck reached 10,000 miles and has not gotten any better in the past 5,500 miles. …”
