FIRST THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STOP WORKING, ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. FLUCTUATES NOW, UP AND DOWN. SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK NOW. STARTED OUT BY READING AROUND 45 MILES PER HOUR WHEN SITTING AT A DEAD STOP. THEN STAY STAYED AT 110 MILES AND HOUR WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. DOES NOT WORK. *TR

2005 SILVERADO WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS CUSTOMER STATES THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT**CC THE CONSUMER STATED APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AND REALIZED THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE POWER ASSIST WAS NOT WORKING. THE CONSUMER LEFT THE VEHICLE WITH THE DEALER FOR 2 DAYS TO ASSESS THE PROBLEM BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE CONSUMER STATED HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER WHERE HE HAD PREVIOUS WORK PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE SUCH AS STEERING, BUT THEY WERE ALSO UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 110 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER FAILS TO DISPLAY THE CORRECT SPEED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 65,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. IT USUALLY FAILS TO OPERATE WHEN DRIVING 65 MPH AND GREATER. HE SPOKE WITH THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,488 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,480.

STEERING PROBLEM FREEPLAY OF 1 1/2" OR BETTER AT THE STEERING WHEEL.A CONSTANT CHALLENGE TO KEEP THIS TRUCK BETWEEN THE LINES IN WINDY WEATHER, AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE CHANGED PART AFTER PART WITH NO CHANGE. NOW SERVICE MANAGER SAYS THIS IS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE HYDROBOOST STEERING SYSTEM. GM WONT GO PAST WHAT THIS SERVICE MANAGER IS SAYING. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

VERY HARD TO STEER AT LOW RPM. *TR

DRIVING TRUSTING THE FUEL GAUGE SINCE TRUCK IS FAIRLY NEW. GOT ON THE FREEWAY WITH 3/4 LEFT ON FUEL. LONG STRETCH THROUGH MOUNTAINS. WHEN I GOT TO 1/2 TANK TRUCK STARTED PULLING AND TURNED OFF. NO CELL PHONE SERVICE TO CALL ROADSIDE. WAITED FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS UNTIL HIGHWAY PATROL SHOWED UP AND CALLED ROADSIDE. WHEN TANK WAS FILLED UP ALL THE WAY NEEDLE MARKER WAS WAY OVER THE "F". I THEN READ AN ARTICLE ON WWW.DIESELPLACE.COM SIMILAR PROBLEM ON OTHER TRUCKS. IT SAID TO PULL THE FUSE OUT FOR THE GAUGES FOR 30 SECONDS AND THEN PUT IT BACK ON AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. *JB

THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE REPLACEMENT WERE NOISE IN THE FRONT END WHILE TURNING. NO FAILURE JUST HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND WAS DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN SHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED. *JB

2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HD 2500. DRIVING HEAD LIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY CAME ON BY THEMSELVES. VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AT 7:00 PM, RECEIVED A PHONE CALL AT 3:00 AM THAT THE HEAD LIGHTS WERE ON. VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN MOVED OR STARTED SINCE IT HAD BEEN PARKED AT 7:00 PM. COULD NOT GET THE LIGHTS TO SHUT OFF. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND LIGHTS STILL WOULDN'T SHUT OFF. THE HEAD LIGHTS WERE ON BUT NO TAIL LIGHTS. TURNED AUTOMATIC HEAD LIGHT SWITCH O OFF, NOTHING HAPPENED. IT TOOK ABOUT 5 TIMES OF DOING THIS BEFORE THEY FINALLY SHUT OFF. IT SEEMS LIKE IT MAYBE A FAULTY SWITCH. *NM

TL*- THE CONTACT EXPLAINED THAT LAST WINTER SHE WAS DRIVING IN HER 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WHEN SUDDENLY THE DRIVER'S WINDOW EXPLODED ,ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH . THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SENT CONSUMER TO A GLASS REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE GLASS WAS REPLACED. THE CONSUMER HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. YESTERDAY THE TRUCK WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. NO ONE WAS IN THE TRUCK . THE CONSUMER WENT OUTSIDE AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED AGAIN. THE GLASS WAS REPLACED FOR A SECOND TIME AND THE CONSUMER HAD TO PAY AGAIN. THE CONSUMER IS REQUESTING AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT WAS CAUSING THIS FAILURE. NO ONE AT THE DEALER KNEW WHY THIS HAPPENED. THE CONSUMER FELT THAT THE DEALER SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND ATTEMPT TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. *AK UPDATED 2/22/2007 - *NM

FRONT STEERING MAKES A CRUNCHING SOUND WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. *JB

WHEN THE TEMP OUTSIDE IS ABOUT 40 DEGREES OR COOLER, SOMETHING UNDER THE VEHICLE RATTLES(DRIVER FRONT). THIS RATTLING IS METAL ON METAL, AND SOUNDS LIKE RAPIDLY BANGING 2 STEEL CANS TOGETHER. THE NOISE DISSIPATES AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, BUT IS QUITE NOTICEABLE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD DURING THE FIRST 10 MINS OF USAGE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH ON A COUNTRY ROAD, THE VEHICLE FISHTAILED CAUSING IT TO CRASH INTO AN EMBANKMENT. THE LAP PART OF THE SEATBELT HELD HOWEVER, THE SHOULDER PORTION FAILED TO HOLD. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS DUE TO THE CRASH HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE SEATBELT.

2005 DURAMAX DIESEL, 2500: APPROXIMATELY 10 - 11,000 MILES THE STEERING SHAFT WAS CAUSING PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP ONLY "LUBE KIT" VS. REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT TOO MANY VEHICLES NEEDED REPLACEMENT THEY STARTED ONLY REPLACING IF VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. ALSO, THE LUBE IS ONLY A BANDAID AND WILL NEED TO BE DONE OVER AND OVER THROUGH OUT TERM OF OPERATION OF VEHICLE. NOT SAFE IF LEFT UNLUBED. THIS TRUCK ALSO HAS STARTED EXCESSIVE VIBRATING [16,500 MILES] WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING AND THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, DRIVE BUT STOPPED VIA BRAKE; NEUTRAL AND BRAKE APPLIED. BRAKE BEING APPLIED INCREASES THE EXCESSIVE VIBRATION. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING IT. *JB

I HAVE A '05 CHEVROLET SILVERADO, I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT WHEN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION IS TURNED TO THE ACCESSORY POSITION (ONE TURN WITH THE VEHICLE OFF), THE VEHICLE WILL BE ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF THE PARKED POSITION WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER THEY SAY THAT IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE. NOT ONLY MY TRUCK DID IT, MY FRIENDS '03 FORD F-350 ALSO DOES IT TOO! I AM NOT SURE IF ALL VEHICLES ARE DESIGNED LIKE THAT OR NOT. WHEN THE VEHICLES KEY IS IN THE RUN POSITION WITH THE VEHICLE OFF, YOU HAVE TO PUSH DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL BEFORE YOU CAN SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE WHOLE IDEA I THOUGHT WAS TO PREVENT A YOUNG CHILD FROM SHIFTING A VEHICLE OUT OF PARK AND ROLL INTO TRAFFIC! THE WAY MY TRUCK, AND POSSIBILITY A WHOLE LOT MORE WAS DESIGNED, A CHILD WOULD HAVE A 50-50 CHANCE OF TURNING THE KEY JUST ONE TIME, AND THAT COULD LEAD TO A CATASTROPHE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED, RESULTING IN THE ENGINE TO QUIT. SINCE OUR TRUCK HAS A STANDARD TRANSMISSION, THE DRIVER SIMPLY "POPPED" THE CLUTCH AND THE ENGINE STARTED. ABOUT 10 MILES LATER, THE ENGINE STALLED SEVERAL MORE TIMES CAUSING THE ENGINE TO QUIT AGAIN FORCING US TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER. WE CHECKED THE BATTERY CABLES, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE ENGINE STARTED, BUT CONTINUED TO STALL. WHILE IN NEUTRAL,THE RPM'S WERE JUMPING OVER 3000 THEN FALLING BELOW 500. AT THE SAME TIME, THE BATTERY GAGE WAS READING NEARLY NOTHING. NO WARNING OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS EVER APPEARED . SINCE WE WERE IN ANOTHER STATE 500 MILES FROM HOME, OUR ONLY CHOICE WAS TO CONTINUE UNTIL WE COULD FIND A GM MECHANIC. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO STALL AND MISFIRE FOR ANOTHER 60 MILES. SINCE WE WERE A MERE 702 MILES OVER OUR FACTORY WARRANTY, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US WE WOULD HAVE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, AND THE NEXT OPENING WOULD BE IN 8 DAYS. INSTEAD,WE WERE ABLE TO FIND A LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP, AND IN A MATTER OF MINUTES THE MECHANIC FOUND THE CAUSE OF THE STALLING TO BE A WIRE THAT PLUGS INTO THE COIL PACK. HE CALLED THE GM DEALERSHIP FOR A REPLACEMENT, AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND IT WOULD TAKE A WEEK OR MORE TO ARRIVE. THE MECHANIC TOLD US THE FACTORY WIRE WAS NOT NECESSARY, HE COULD SIMPLY SPLICE INTO THE WIRE TO FIX OUR PROBLEM. SINCE STAYING AN ADDITIONAL WEEK WAS NOT AN OPTION, WE A

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING WHILE ACCELERATING 10 MPH UNDER NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. THIS OCCURRED ON FIVE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES, WHO WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE INFREQUENTLY STALLED WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH. THE SERVICE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE APRIL 2005 AND HAS BEGUN TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED A POWER STEERING PUMP WHICH WAS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE, MADE A WINDING SOUND LIKE THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS LOW ON FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REFUSED TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE BRAKES SYSTEM RELIES ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL # 05V455000 FOR THE HOSE THAT GOES BETWEEN THE POWER STEERING AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN, HOWEVER THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE COMPONENTS BECAUSE THERE WERE NO VISUAL PROBLEMS PRESENT.

2005 CHEVY SILVERADO TRUCK - BURST INTO FLAMES AT APPROX. 4:30 AM WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY - DAMAGE TO HOUSE AS WELL AS IT WAS PARKED CLOSE. FRONT END OF THE TRUCK IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED BY FIRE. BY THE TIME THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT BY FIREFIGHTER CREWS, FRONT END OF TRUCK FROM THE BUMPER TO THE FRONT WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. NO VANDALISM OR ARSON - TRUCK WAS DISCOVERED BY NEIGHBORS WHILE BURNING. NO ONE INFORMED ME OFF A RECALL ON THIS TRUCK. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE RATTLED, KNOCKED AND THE STEERING WHEEL HAD EXCESSIVE PLAY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SHORT SHAFT ON THE STEERING MECHANISM, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM RECURRED. THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 02/27/07. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED ABOUT EVERY 6,000-7,000 MILES, WHEN THE PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE, THE FRONT END SHAKES BADLY. THE FIRST THREE TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE BRAKE PADS WERE RESURFACED. THE LAST TIME THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM HAS RECURRED.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AT TIMES HESITATES BEFORE ENGAGING WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES - THE LAST BEING THE DATE LISTED BELOW. *NM

AFTER PURCHASING (AND RETURNING!) A 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO PU I CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT THE OFF CENTER STEERING WHEEL. HE ACTED LIKE HE HAD NO IDEA THEY WERE LIKE THAT (AND THEY'VE BEEN FOR YEARS!) SO HE ALLEGEDLY CALLED THE FACTORY TO FIND OUT WHY AND TOLD ME IT'S A SAFETY FEATURE!!! THIS IS SO BOGUS ! IF IT IS A SAFETY FEATURE - WHY AREN'T THE CARS OFF CENTER? WHY DOESN'T FORD AND DODGE MAKE THEIRS LIKE THAT? THIS TRUCK WAS A NIGHTMARE TO DRIVE - SPECIFICS: HORSE TRAILER SWAYED WHEN PULLED W/THIS TRUCK. IT HYDROPLAINED IN THE SLIGHTEST AMOUNT OF WATER. WHEN PULLING ON THE FREEWAY, SEMI'S WOULD LITERALLY BLOW ME TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LANE! I HAVE WITNESSES TO HOW SCARY THIS TRUCK WAS TO DRIVE OR RIDE IN!!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS OFF CENTER STEERING WHEEL THING!!! A DODGE DEALER TOLD ME HE THINKS IT'S A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO COVER UP!!! MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN NOTICE IT! IT TOOK ME 3 DAYS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS SO STRANGE ABOUT THAT TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER TO HAVE THINGS FIXED AND THEY HAD IT A WHOLE DAY AND FIXED NOTHING! THERE'S A LOT MORE TO THIS IF YOU 'D LIKE TO CONTACT ME! *NM

I NOTICED AT ABOUT 29,500 MILES THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT FUNCTIONING NORMALLY AT PARK OR LOW IDLE SPEEDS. ALSO THERE IS A CLUNKING IN THE STEERING COLUMN AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHILE TURNING. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLS AT ANY SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES. THE LEVEL SENSOR, FUEL INJECTION WIRING HARNESS, THE DIRECT FUEL INJECTION DRIVER, THE FUEL TANK, AND THE FUEL TANK MODULE HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE SENDER PUMP ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED TWICE. AFTER THE LAST REPLACEMENT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS INADEQUATE WHILE DRIVING ON CONCRETE POURED ROAD CONDITIONS. THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE MUST BE DECREASED OR THE VEHICLE WILL GO ABOUT A FOOT AND HALF INTO THE AIR. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN ALERTED AND THE SHOCKS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE HOWEVER, THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED.

CONSUMER 2005 SILVERADO MAKES A VERY LOUD WIND BLOWING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. *TS *JB

I SPECIAL ORDERED A 2005 CHEVY 4X4 TRUCK BECAUSE I WANTED A SINGLE CAB. WHEN I FIRST GOT IT, SOMETHING DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT ABOUT IT AND ABOUT THE 3RD DAY I REALIZED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS OFF CENTER. I TOOK IT BACK TO GUS PAULOS CHEVROLET IN SLC UTAH AND THEY WERE SEEMINGLY STUNNED ALSO. THE SALESMAN ACTUALLY WENT AROUND THE LOT LOOKING TO SEE IF OTHER TRUCKS WERE OFF CENTER ALSO. THEY WERE. THERE WAS A FACTORY REP THERE , HAVING SOME 30 YRS WITH GMC AND IT TOOK HIM A LONG TIME TO SEE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT ALSO. SALESMAN SAID HE'D CALL BACK TO THE FACTORY AND FIND OUT WHY THEY WERE LIKE THAT. CALLED ME A COUPLE DAYS LATER AND SAID IT WAS A SAFETY FEATURE. WHAT?!?!?! A SAFETY FEATURE FOR HOW MANY YEARS AND YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT??? AND HOW COME THE TRUCKS ARE OFF CENTER AND THE CARS ARE NOT??? HOW COME FORD AND DODGE AREN'T OFF CENTERING THEIRS!??? IT WAS SCARY DRIVING THIS TRUCK IN THE RAIN AS I FELT I HAD NO CONTROL. LIKE DRIVING ON ICE! I USED IT TO PULL MY HORSE TRAILER (MINI 6 HORSE SLANT) AND MY TRAILER SWAYED ON THIS TRUCK! I HAVE BEEN PULLING HORSE TRAILERS ALL OVER THE US SINCE THE EARLY 70S AND HAVE NEVER HAD A TRAILER SWAY ON ME BEFORE! NOT EVER! ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN A SEMI WOULD PASS , THEY WOULD LITERALLY BLOW ME (WITH THE TRAILER) TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LANE!!! WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL, IT WOULD ACCELERATE ON THE LEVEL/FLAT AND NOT ON HILLS!!! I LIVE AT THE END OF A DIRT ROAD AND WHEN IT GOT WASHBOARDY THAT TRUCK WOULD PRACTICALLY JUMP OFF THE ROAD! MY TOYOTA R

VEHICLE STEERING SHAKES WHEN TURNING OR BREAKING. *NM

2005 SILVERADO HYBRID ENGINE TURNS OFF AT STOPS WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED. *TS THE HYBRID TURNS ENGINE OFF AT STOPS WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED. THE CONSUMER FEELS THAT IT TAKES TOO LONG FOR THE ENGINE TO PICK UP POWER AFTER TAKING FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR. THE CONSUMER FEELS THAT THE DELAY IS DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO ENTER FAST MOVING TRAFFIC FROM A STOP. WHILE STOPPED ON AN INCLINE VEHICLE ROLLS BACKWARDS WHILE THE CONSUMER'S FOOT IS IN TRANSITION FROM THE BRAKE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. *NM

2005 Z71 SILVERADO PICKUP MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND MOVES IN A FORWARD OR BACKWARD MOTION WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AFTER IT HAS SAT OVER NIGHT. *TS *JB

THE CONTACT HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER. UPDATED 05/04/06

NOTICED VEHICLE VIBRATION AT 45 MPH LIKE TIRE OUT OF ROUND. AT 55 MPH AND GREATER, VIBRATION FELT LIKE TIRE OUT OF BALANCE. GM TELLS ME PROBLEM IS NORMAL, WILL NOT CORRECT. GM CALLS THE PROBLEM "BEAMING", AND SUGGESTS PLACING 500 LBS IN BED OF TRUCK. TRIED THIS AND VIBRATION STILL EXISTS. TRUCK SHAKES SO BAD AT 65 MPH THAT IT IS UNSTABLE IN CURVES, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. THE VEHICLE CANNOT CONTINUE TO BE RELIABLE WITH THIS CONTINUOUS VIBRATION EATING AWAY AT THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS DEVELOPED A HARMONIC NOISE AT 45 MPH AND LESS, WHICH THE DEALER TELLS ME IS ALSO NORMAL AND WILL NOT REPAIR. *NM
