“Just bought a new 2017 black edition. Reg cab short bed. 5.3. Shakes from new over 73+ MPH. Took it to dealer at 648 miles on 01/19/2018. Purchased new 12/28/2017. They rebalanced all 4 wheels. Still shakes. They put a new driveshaft in and said it was fixed. I picked it up today. Nope. It's worse. Now it begins shake no at 60 and at 74-75 has a pretty dramatic shake. This happens while driving on the interstate. Now I go back again monday to let them have another go at it.this is a brand new truck.”
NHTSA complaint #11063841, filed 2018-01, 52 miles“Front wheels simply just peel apart in chips. Rear wheels appear to be fine, so this is an issue with turning or friction on the front wheels. The tires chip away through out the entire surface of the thread, leaving voids and gashes on the surface. We drive on paved roads, so there really shouldn't be an issue with excessive wear such as driving on rough roads. I did show this to our local dealer, they claim the vehicle needs an alignment, but keep in mind the vehicle has under 15k miles from the dealer. Already, we can see these tires not even coming close to the warranty thread wear limit. …”

Transmission down shifts hard sometimes feels like being bumped from behind,it also hesitates and jerks after letting off the accelerator and accelerating again between 25-45 MPH. When accelerating it surges,jerks and stumbles. Sometimes when accelerating the transmission downshifts and hangs in that gear until you let off the accelerator. Under heavy acceleration there is vibration in the power train and the transmission seem noisy. …”
