While driving at any speed vehicle would start to vibrate. Vehicle is still controllable. Had taken to dealer. Was informed by mechanic it needed springs & shocks & would have to wait for the parts.

No summary
I took delivery of vehicle on 3-1-99. Noticed front end vibration at 65 MPH. Took vehicle back to dealer. I was told it was a goodyear tire problem. They replaced all tires. Problem remained as well as feeling a shaking in the steering on rough or bumpy roads. Took vehicle back to dealer. I was told that it was a drive shaft problem. Shims were placed in the driveshaft. Problem then became much worse. Vibration shook entire vehicle making steering difficult. Took vehicle back to dealer. Shims were removed. Gm knows about multiple problems and their only reply was "in 70 days we might have a fix". In 70 days the driveshaft might come up through the floor of my truck, too. Please look into these problems before someone is killed. Gm sure doesn't care! I have consulted three dealership service departments - two chevrolet and one gmc. They all admitted to having at least 6 or 7 trucks with these problems. Multiply that by the number of chevrolet and gmc dealerships in this country and you will see the magnitude of these problems. None of us can take on gm. Please help us. I might suggest that if gm can correct the problems, that they offer a free extended warrantee to all who were affected by these problems.
Other equipment; severe vibration that feels like body flexes between 65-75mph. I have slowed and pulled off onto the should fearing personal saftey. I have brought it to 2 dealerships for a total of 5 times, and spoken with gm customer service, as well as written a letter to chevrolet. They claim that it is a new "charateristic" of this year, no fix. Powertrain:transmission:automatic - it shifts into overdrive at about 37 MPH producing a growling sound, brought to two dealerships for a total of 5 times, no fix. Other equipment - clunk noise from front.
Truck has a vibration between 1100 &1500 RPM when going up hills it is bad. Was told by the dealer no fix, but all new silverados doing it.
Consumer took vehicle to dealership four times for shaking in the steering wheel and column area, also when applying the brakes the pedal goes to the floor. Dealer indicates this is a design flaw, no remedy. *ak
