NHTSA complaint #10544173, filed 2013-09, 54,280 miles“Truck shakes between 45 and 60. Does it all the time. Took to Gmc dealer and they check it out and said it was the way the truck was get used to it. Called detroit and got the same thing. It's not right. It all started with around 14,000 miles .the truck didn't do it at all until then. The service station that I use to service it found the tires to be out of round and the sidewalls were coming undone. Put a new set of tires on and it helped a little bit but not a great deal. They also told me to put weight in the box to help. I tried and it didn't help. All I want is the truck made right.”
NHTSA complaint #10300219, filed 2010-01, 14,000 miles“Tire sizes: 245/70r17. Three tires went bad between November 2022 and March 9th 2023. First tire, the front right, replaced because its outside tread was going bad really quickly. I could see the metal sticking out of it. Two tires need replacing because they are bulging.
