THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DROVE HOME AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED BOSAK CHEVROLET, BUICK, GMC (9911 W 300 N, MICHIGAN CITY, IN 46360) BUT WAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DAYS LATER THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WOULD BE NO ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED THROUGH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 7,500.

THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BALL JOINT FAILED. IT IS A PRESSED FITTING AND IT CAME APART. THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY 25,000 MILES ON IT. NOTED A CLUNKING NOISE IN FRONT END, MOST NOTABLE WHILE BACKING .

THIS VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT, ALREADY HAD SYMPTOMS BUT THEY WERE MINOR, NOW THE PROBLEM IS BIGGER , THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH TORQUE THE VEHICLE LOSES STRENGTH AND DOES NOT ADVANCE WHEN YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR

AT LOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS PARKING LOT, OR TRAFFIC JAM, AND EVEN WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHES UP AND BECOMES VERY HARD. THE BRAKES STOP WORKING AND THE TRUCK MUST BE TAKEN OUT OF DRIVE. CHEVY HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON SILVERADO TRUCKS 2014-2018 EQUIPPED WITH 5.3L MOTORS THE RECALL NUMBER IS 20V603000. EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF THE FAULTY BRAKE ASSIST IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY 2018 SILVERADO (5.3L) BOMNIN CHEVROLET DADELAND AND CHEVY IS TELLING ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T QUALIFY ME FOR THE RECALL, YET MY TRUCK DESCRIPTION AND BRAKE PROBLEM, BOTH MATCH THE RECALL PERFECT. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY BOMNIN CHARGED ME $630 AND WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE TRUCK IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME. NO BRAKES AT IDLE.

TRUCK STATIONARY. STARTED ENGINE. IMMEDIATELY MESSAGE SHOWED UP ON DASHBOARD INDICATING STEERING ASSIST LOW, DRIVE CAREFULLY. NO POWER STEERING. TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIT. SHIFTED INTO REVERSE; TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE AS IF IN NEUTRAL. TRUCK MOVE MOVE FORWARD IN DRIVE BUT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF LOW GEAR. ALSO TRACTION CONTROL SYMBOIL TURNED ON. TOOK IT TO PETERS CHEVROLET LONGVIEW, TX. DEALERSHIP FOUND NO ISSUES.

OCCASIONALLY ON MY DASH INFO SCREEN A MESSAGE POPS UP SAYING TO KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD, IN ORDER TO DISMISS THE MESSAGE YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD AND TOUCH AN OK BUTTON ON THE SCREEN. IT IS HARD TO DO THIS SAFELY WHILE DRIVING. THE MESSAGE DOES NOT TIME OUT AND COVERS THE ENTIRE SCREEN. THERE MUST DE A WAY TO DISABLE THIS OR TO HAVE IT TIME OUT. IT IS IRONIC THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE TRIED THE BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL THAT DISMISSES OTHER MESSAGES AND IT DOES NOT WORK FOR THAT ONE. THIS SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE FIXED EASILY WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE TEMPERATURE IN THE 30S-40S, I REMOTE STARTED IT TWICE TO WARM IT UP. WHEN I WENT OUT TO LOAD MY THINGS IN THE CAB, I OPENED THEN CLOSED THE BACK DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND THE REAR GLASS EXPLODED.

COOLANT WATER KEEPS SPILLING FROM WATER PUMP. AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE PUMP BLEW AND SPILLED ALL THE COOLANT AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE. HAD TO GET IT REPLACED PAID $150 FOR THE PART AND THAN LABOR ANOTHER $150. TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 30K MILES AND THE WATER PUMP ALREADY BREAKING DOWN. NEW VEHICLES ARE NOW DESIGNED TO BREAK ON YOU EASILY SO US CUSTOMERS SPEND MORE ON PARTS AND LABOR.

THE AC CONDENSER CRACKED AND WOULDN'T BLOW COLD AIR. THE TRUCK IS 2018 AND HAS ONLY 50000 MILES

HEARING UNUSUAL POWERTRAIN WINNING , LUGGING ON A HILL TO THE POINT OF SHUTTERING BEFORE IT DOWNSHIFTS, AND THEN VERY HARSH SHIFT. VERY HARSH SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEARS, AND THEN AGAIN ON DOWNSHIFT FROM SECOND TO FIRST. TODAY 11/19/2020 I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 70 MPH, AND ONCE IT STARTED LUGGING DOWN IT DOWNSHIFTED AND TOOK OFF LIKE THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING WILD. I TAPPED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO CANCEL THE CRUSE CONTROL, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT IN CANCELING THE CRUSE THIS VEHICLE JUST KEPT RUNNING WILD. I EVEN PUSHED THE MAIN CRUISE POWER BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL FOE WHAT SEEMED LIKE AN ETERNITY, STILL RUN AS IF IT WAS POSSESSED. AFTER ABOUT 45 SECONDS, AND JUST AS I MADE UP MY MIND THAT I HAD TO KILL THE IGNITION SWITCH, IT CALMED BACK DOWN TO THE NORMAL HARSH SHIFT, BUT DIDN'T RUN WILD. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE RPM'S GAUGE IS NOT STEADY, AND MOVES RADICALLY I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER IN THE PAST WITH MY CONCERNS OF A HARSH SHIFT ISSUE, AS WELL AS THE SHUTTERING AND LUGING DOWN ON THE HILLS, AND THEY ASSURED ME THAT THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION. THESE TRUCKS NEED TO BE LOOKED AT VERY CLOSELY BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON THE 5 OF DECEMBER 2020, AND YOU WOULD THINK WITH THE SAFETY FACTOR OF MY CONCERNS, THAT THEY WOULD TRY GETTING ME IN SOONER, RATHER THEN PUT ME OFF OVER TWO WEEKS.

WHILE DRIVING ON 30-40MPH AND HIT THE BRAKES SLOWLY, IT FEELS AS IF THE PEDAL IS GONNA FALL OFF AND CAN ALSO FEEL A VIBRATE ON IT. IT ALSO STALLS AS IF THE BRAKES ARE BEING PRESSED BUT I'M NOT, THIS HAPPENS USUALLY IN THE BEGINNING AFTER BEING TURNED ON AND THEN STOPS DOING IT AFTER REACHING THE MIDDLE OF THE TEMPERATURE.

REAR MIDDLE SEAT BELT TOP PLASTIC BRACKET IS MADE VERY UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE, FIXED IT THREE TIME AT DEALERSHIP. THE PLASTIC BRACKET BREAKS ALL THE TIME WITH JUST A SLIGHT PULL ON THE SEAT BELT. ONCE BROKEN THE SEAT BELT GETS STUCK OR TWIST AROUND BRACKET AND NO LONGER WORKS. IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY CHEVY/GMC IMMEDIATELY IF SOMEONE GET IN AN ACCIDENT THERE WILL BE A LAW SUIT. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS ISSUE ON LINE.

TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS WHEN BACKING A TRAILER UP A SLIGHT HILL AND WILL NOT MOVE UNTILE IT COOLS DOWN.

BEEN HAVING VOLTAGE ISSUES FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS WHERE MY LIGHTS DIM AND VOLT GAUGE DROPS AND RAISES WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY DEALER SAID IT'S NORMAL ALSO HARD DOWN SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING NOT LETTING OFF THE GAS ASSISTANT BRAKES HAVE FAILED AND CLUNK HARD SOMETIMES WHEN STOPPING OR PRESS HARD BACK AT ME THROUGH THE PEDAL AGAIN DEALER SAID IT'S NORMAL I PULLED MY TRUCK OUT FROM THE BACK OF THE HOUSE TO THE FRONT SHUT IT OFF TO GO GET READY FOR WORK A COUPLE MINUTES LATER MY DAUGHTER INFORMED ME MY TRUCK WAS OVER HEATING I WENT TO DOOR TO FIND SMOKE POURING OUT OF MY TRUCK FROM UNDER THE HOOD GRAB A FIRE EXTINGUISHER RUN OUT POP THE HOOD AND THE WHOLE PASSENGER SIDE OF COMPARTMENT IS IN FLAMES HOW DOES A VEHICLE THAT'S NOT RUNNING START ON FIRE? AWAITING MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO GET IT OUT OF HERE I IMAGINE WILL BE A TOTAL LOSS THERE ISN'T MUCH LEFT OF THE ENGINE BAY SO NOT SURE WHAT STARTED THE FIRE

THIS TRUCK HAS SO MANY ISSUES FIRST ONE WAS A FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT AND IT APPEARS TO BE LINKED IN WITH A LIN DATA BASE? I HAD IT REPAIRED WAS GOOD NOW IT POPS ON AGAIN BUT ITS SAYING IT CAN BE SOMETHING IN THE LIN SYSTEM SAD TODAYS CARS ARE JUST FILLING UP THE JUNK YARDS AND CHARGING 50K FOR A NEW ONE ITS SADLY PISS POOR QUALITY

I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. GAVE THE TRUCK GAS AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. PUT THE TRUCK BACK IN PARK AND LOOKED AT THE GUAGES AND THERE WERE NO RPM'S SHOWING ON THE CLUSTER AND THE OIL PRESSURE WAS AT ZERO. THERE WAS A MESSAGE THAT SAID TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE SCREEN. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND ON AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE AND IT WOULD MOVE FORWARD BUT THE MOTOR RAN VERY ROUGH AND THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. I DISMISSED THE FIRST MESSAGE AND ANOTHER MESSAGE POPPED UP THAT SAID "STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED, DRIVE WITH CARE." I PULLED INTO ANOTHER PARKING SPOT, TURNED THE TRUCK OFF, AND WAITED FOR A RIDE. I STARTED THE TRUCK WHEN MY RIDE SHOWED UP TO MAKE SURE IT WAS STILL NOT WORKING AND IT WAS AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED BEFORE. THE TRUCK HAD NO ISSUES ON THE 16 MILE DRIVE HOME. GOT HOME AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE MESSAGE CAME BACK UP AND THE ISSUES CAME BACK. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM AND ME SHIFTING THE TRUCK AND THE GUAGE CLUSTER. I HAVE A PICTURE OF THE STEERING ASSIST MESSAGE.

TRUCK WILL LOSE ALL POWER, EVERYTHING WILL SHUT OFF, AND THEN COME RIGHT BACK ON. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC, SLOWING DOWN TURNING RIGHT AND TURNING LEFT, AND WHILE MOVING STRAIGHT AHEAD. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ONCE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND THEY TELL ME THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE STABILITRAC WARNING WILL COME ON AND GO OFF AND HAVE HAD STALL WARNING FLASH IN TRAFFIC AT STOP LIGHTS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 12,000 MILES AND I HAVE 20,083 MILES ON TRUCK NOW. THE CLOCK AND RADIO RESET. IT SHUTDOWN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. BEEN TRYING TO GET IT INTO DEALERSHIP SINCE 3 WEEKS AGO AND NO LUCK. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS INCLUDING SLIPPING, SHIFTING HARSHNESS, CLUNKING, ESPECIALLY ON DOWNSHIFTS AND SLIPPING WHEN TOWING. CLUNKING NOISE/FEEL WHEN SLOWING DOWN/STOPPING. ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE ON HILLS, BUT PRESENT ON FLAT AND DOWNHILL ROADS AT SURFACE STREETS AS WELL AS FREEWAYS AND HIGHWAYS. PROBLEM FIRST BROUGHT TO CHEVROLET'S SERVICE DEPT AT 7000 MILES AND TOLD IT'S NORMAL. AGAIN BROUGHT TO SERVICE DEPT ATTENTION AT APPROXIMATELY 12000 MILES AND AGAIN TOLD IT'S NORMAL. PROBLEM CONTINUED TO WORSEN SEVERELY AND AGAIN BROUGHT TO SERVICE DEPT ATTENTION AT APPROXIMATELY 15000 MILES. PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AS FAILING TORQUE CONVERTER. THIS WAS REPLACED. PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION CONTINUES AFTER REPLACEMENT AND AT 16197 MILES IT IS NOW BACK AT THE SERVICE DEPT.TRANSMISSION IS THE 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC.

WHILE DRIVING 41-60MPH, THE TRUCK STARTS TO IDLE AS IF THE BRAKES ARE BEING PUSHED ON ONE TIRE AND THE BRAKE PEDALS AND GAS PEDAL TEND TO VIBRATE AS IF IT WERE TO FALL OFF. AFTER AWHILE DOING THAT, THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT MESSAGE COMES ON AFTER REACHING THE MIDDLE OF THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE AND THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. SEEMS LIKE IT DOES IT WHEN IT'S ON LOW TEMPERATURE.

FIRST THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL STOPPED WORKING, WHILE DRIVING ON A NORMAL STREET IN TOWN. THEN THE STABILITRAK SERVICE MESSAGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE MESSAGE CAME UP THE TRUCK WOULD NO LONGER GO WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED. PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE STABILITRAK IN ORDER TO MAKE IT HOME AND THE TRUCK SHIFTED VERY HARD INTO EACH GEAR AND ONLY WOULD SHIFT BETWEEN 3000 AND 3500 RPMS.

PURCHASED MY 2018 SILVERADO 1500 USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 32500 MILES ON IT. MY AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING AFTER ONLY APPROXIMATELY 39000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. MANUFACTURER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY ENDS AT 36,000 MILES. THIS FIRST HAPPENED WHEN I GOT OFF OF WORK AND TRIED MY TO USE MY AIR CONDITIONING.

THE REAR DEFROSTER LIGHT IS FLICKERING. THIS IS A KNOWN RECALL IN CANADA FOR THIS SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD.

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING HARD DOWNSHIFTING ISSUES. MAINLY FROM 2 TO 1 AND OCCASIONALLY FROM 3 TO 2. I NOTICE THERE ISNT A RECALL LISTED BUT IT DEFINITELY SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS ISSUE. THAT COULD POSSIBLE CAUSE DAMAGE LATER ON. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE SILVERADO 2014-2019. I WOULD LIKE AND EXPLANATION AND FIX PLEASE. CHEVROLET HAS CHECKED AND SAID IT DOESN'T READ AS AN ISSUE ON COMPUTER READING. THANKS

ON 8/17/2020 I STARTED GETTING A SEVERE SHAKING IN THE FRONT END OF MY 2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO CREW CAB 4X4 LTZ. THINKING THAT I THREW JUST A WHEEL WEIGHT I TOOK IT TO MY PRIORITY CHEVROLET IN CHESAPEAKE VIRGINIA AND FOUND OUT IT HAS A SHUTTER SHAKE AS THE DEALERSHIP CALLED IT. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THIS I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE AGAINST GM ON THIS MATTER AND IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING FROM YEARS 2014 THRU 2019. I WOULD THINK AFTER ALL THIS INFORMATION ON THIS A RECALL WOULD BE PUT OUT ON THIS.I DO NOT HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION AT THIS TIME DUE TO IT STILL BEING AT DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR.THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 64 EAST BOUND AT A SPEED OF 55 UP TO 65 WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRED.

AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT TWICE, BRAKE PEDAL HARD AND WHEEL BEARING NOISE FROM REAR BECOMING LOUDER AFTER DEALER SAID IT WAS OKAY

THE MIDDLE REAR SEATBELT IN THE 2018 SILVERADO CREW CAB HAS A PLASTIC STRAP RETAINER THAT COMES APART EASILY, CAUSING THE SEATBELT TO GET STUCK ON ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER OF THE METAL POSITIONING BAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND THE REAR CENTER PASSENGER'S SEATBELT WAS LEFT SLACKED. IT WILL ONLY RETURN ONCE THE SEATBELT STRAP IS MANUALLY CENTERED ON THE METAL POSITIONING BAR. THE CLIPS ON THE PLASTIC PIECE APPEAR TO BE INSUFFICIENT. THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE PLASTIC STRAP RETAINER PIECE ONCE ALREADY AND IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE TOWING EMPTY 12' TRAILER, THE ENGINE STOPPED AND RECEIVED STABILITRACK MESSAGE AND TRANSMISSION TOO HOT. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER LETTING ENGINE COOL DOWN. HAD THE TRAMISSION FLUID CHANGED TWO DAYS LATER. DEALER JUST STATED THEIR WAS A LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE ENGINE. ONE WEEK LATER RECEIVED TRANSMISSION HOT, IDLE ENGINE MESSAGE ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE HAULING THE SAME TRAILER WITH ONLY A RIDING LAWNMOWER. PULLED OVER FOR 30 MINUTES AND DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME AT A REDUCED SPEED. HIGHWAY SPEED WAS 70 MPH UNTIL IT OVERHEATED, THEN DROVE 50-55 MPH TO GET TO MY DESTINATION TRYING NOT TO LET TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE OVER 220.

STARTED HAVING SOFT/HARD BRAKING ISSUES WHEN GOING AT LOW SPEEDS. PUMP THE BRAKE PETAL A FEW TIMES TO TRY AND APPLY MORE PRESSURE BUT DOES NOT DO THE TRICK. DO NOT SEE ANY ISSUE'S WITH LEAKS OR DAMAGE. SEEN RECALLS FOR VACUUM PUMPS WITH THE YEAR AND MODEL THE SAME.

LOSS OF POWER DUE TO VACUUM PUMP. MESSAGE POPS UP ON SPEEDO SAYING SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST AS THE BRAKES STOP WORKING. HAPPENS AT SLOWER SPEEDS WHILE MOVING (CITY DRIVING)

I WAS CHANGING A FLAT TIRE. JUST AS I GOT THE SPARE ONTO THE BOLTS, THE JACK SNAPPED AND THE TRUCK CAME CRASHING DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MY SHOP AT HOME ON A LEVEL CONCRETE FLOOR. EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD BEEN APPLIED.

THE PLASTIC RADIATOR HAS CRACKED AND IS LEAKING COOLANT HEAVILY. TRUCK STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BY GM IS ONLY OFFERING TO COVER 20% OF THE $1,823 REPAIR COST. I NOTICED IT WHEN STOPPED TO GET GAS, THE VEHICLE LEAKING APPROXIMATELY 1.5 GALLONS OF COOLANT WHILE STOPPED FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT AND NEEDED TO ADD COOLANT JUST TO DRIVE TO SHOP. *TR

WHEN I OPENED DOORS THE FUEL PUMP TURNS ON, WHILE I'M DRIVING IT SHIFTS AND RUNS FUNNY AND YOU HEAR POPPING NOISES. THE GAUGES MESS UP AND RADIO TURNS ON AND OFF. LIKE ITS BEING HACKED. *TR

I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT ALREADY ABOUT MY 2018 SILVERADO1500 L, NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE ABOUT THE COMPLAINT FILED. MY TRUCK ROAD VERY ROUGH, IT HAD A BAD VIBRATION AND SHIMMY IN THE FRONT END. THE FRONT END WOULD NOSE DIVE WHEN BRAKING. THE TRUCK WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT WHEN GOING AROUND A RIGHT CURVE. THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS RIDING ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE. TAKING TO LONG TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP WHEN BRAKING. THESE COMPLAINTS WERE IGNORED BY THE GM SERVICE CENTERS, I WAS PRETTY MUCH CALLED A LIAR. THE LEFT SIDE FRONT TIRE EDGE WAS VERY VISIBLE TO THE EYE ON THE TIRE RIDING ON THE EDGE. CALLED A LIAR AGAIN. AT 16000 MILES I TOOK MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS. I BOUGHT NEW SHOCKS AND STRUTS AND HAD A CERTIFIED SERVICE CENTER PUT THEM ON. THE TRUCK RIDES WELL, NO MORE SHIMMY IN THE FRONT END, THE STEERING IS FINE GOING AROUND A RIGHT-HAND CURVE DOES NOT PULL TO THE RIGHT ANYMORE. THE TRUCK IS NOW BRAKING LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. I HAVE A WARRANTY ON THIS TRUCK THE DEALERSHIPS DENIED THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. WHY WHEN I HAD THE SHOCKS AND STRUTS CHANGED THE PROBLEMS WENT AWAY. I KEEP THE GM SHOCKS AND STRUTS. I TOOK A STRUT AND PLACED THE ROD END ON A BOARD AND PUSHED DOWN ON THE TUBE THE ROD WENT INTO THE TUBE WITH HARDLY ANY RESISTANCE THEY WERE JUNK. I AM GOING TO MAKE A VIDEO DEMONSTRATING THE GM STRUT AND SEND IT TO THE NEWS MEDIA ALONG WITH THE PAPERWORK SHOWING WHERE I HAD TAKEN MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTERS. IF GM IS NOT GOING TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY
