Mi camión está marcando un problema de servicio del sistema de freno de remolque y amanece con la batería baja y cuando voy conduciendo la mayoría de tiempo se pone muy duro el pedal del freno y hace un ruido muy raro cuando freno y también cuando acelero truena cómo si trajera un Fierro suelto en el motor
Driving on the freeway the right back wheel just broke off. The tire went flying across the freeway. No one was hurt physically but it could have been worse. The wheels were not customized or changed in any way. My husband, myself and our baby were inside.
After purchasing vehicle, the truck shakes extremely bad on highway, I notified dealer the same day and they have come to the conclusion after performing a road force test that the wheels are either bent or damaged. The shake is so bad it is hard to hold wheels steady and tire almost feels like it is going to come off. The dealer is stating that they refuse to pay for the cost to fix the safety problem even under warranty. I have driven back and forth an hour each way to dealer over 5 times now and they do not want to fix the situation.
On 3-18-19 at approximately 1600 hours we were traveling north on I 84 near newburgh, ny. I was driving a 2016 chevrolet 2500 silverado (45,000 miles) towing a 2019 grand design 5th wheel rv. We were traveling in the travel lane when a pickup pulled alongside honking his horn, the driver was pointing at the camper. I pulled over and discovered the cable holding up my spare tire broke, the spare dropped to the pavement bouncing under the camper. I did a quick repair got off the highway and spent the night in a motel. The next morning I spent 2 hours repairing the camper enough to get it to our residence in maine. Damage repair bill to the rv was $9100.00. I brought the truck into quirk chevrolet bangor me where I purchased it new and their mechanics inspected the tire hoist. They could not explain why the cable frayed and broke. The spare was inspected before our trip south in feb.and was securely in place with no movement. The cable was in new condition with no rust. I dealt with gm customer service gave them accident reports and all info needed. May 5th gm sends out esis field inspector ron yeager. Mr. Yeager states he has never seen this before on such a new vehicle. Approximately a month later I'm in contact with gm they deny the claim for repairs but have no explanation as to the cause. This spare tire system on gm trucks has long been known for its failures. Usually the cables rust in place and you can't get the tire down when needed. I've always owned gm trucks and usually place the spare in the truck bed due to this poor system. If the rv was not behind my truck that 65lb spare could have done severe damage to the vehicles/persons traveling behind me.

Truck shakes severely when driving at speeds above 70 MPH on many different road types. This problem started not too long after I got my truck new. After complaining about it the service department said this is "standard 22 inch wheel vibration." after I had about 35000 miles on it the vibration got so bad I couldn't stand to drive on the freeway. Took it back to the dealer and they said the tires were wore out even though there was still plenty of tread. Had another shop look at it and they found one of the wheels was ever so slightly bent. Took it back to the dealer to confirm. They sold me a new wheel, the problem didn't go away or change in any way. I bought new tires as they recommended, problem was still there but not so severe until after driving a few thousand miles. The more miles I put on the tires the worse the vibration gets. Took it back into the dealer again recently, they keep telling me it's standard vibration for 22 inch wheels. I know this is bogus because I know a few people with the exact same wheels and tires that don't have the shaking problem, they can drive as fast as they want and it's smooth. Everybody that rides with me asks what is wrong with my truck. How can I convince the dealer that there is an actual problem?
Continental tire tread peeling or coming off tire in chunks. Feel this is very unsafe to drive. Truck purchased new in 2015. Current mileage is 18,700 miles.
At slow speed, while maneuvering into a tight parking spot, brakes antilock braking kicked in and made the brake pedal very stiff and preventing application of the brakes causing the truck to roll forward almost hitting the parked car before coming to a stop. This happened twice in the same day. This is a well known and well documented issue related to the design of the ABS sensor and braking system on the chevy models and recalls from about 20 years ago. This truck is a mn vehicle.
Vibration in steering wheel between 45-50 MPH also increased vibration when going around curves. Vibration worse at highway speeds 65-75 MPH. Vibration also increases when going around curve. Been to dealer keep blowing me off
Within 6 weeks I had to replace 3 tires on my truck. I still had 4/32 of were left on these tires that only had approximately 27000 miles on them. I ended up buying a forth tires and had the tires balanced for another hundred dollars.I have all the receipts and I am looking for compensation for inferior tires that were on the truck when I bought it. Chevrolet quality was not there on my tires. This happened over a 6 week period starting 10/20/2017 to 10/28/2017.
