Problem #1 truck has a "vibration" since purchase date. Dealer checked the balance of the tires 4 times and found them out of balance, tires were then balanced and rotated.

Problem #2 the rear door will not latch after being opened in freezing weather, the front door will not close completely as it latches to the rear door.

Truck has a "vibration" that the dealer can not correct. Feels like a tire out of balance. Tires balanced and "vibration" is not as bad, each time tires are balanced they are found to be out of balance. Service manager has told me that "I would have to live with this". Manufacture says "all trucks have this vibration". The rear left door will not close in freezing weather till the truck has been ran long enough to warm the interior, (about 5 miles),since the front door latches to the rear door it will not close completely. Service manager at dealer states he has not heard about this problem.

The truck started a vibrating/shaking at highway speeds at about 1000 miles. I have been put off and outright lied to about the problem. At times it is so severe that it will cause the cd player to skip. Three different dealers ackowledge the problem is common to these trucks. Chevrolet customer service has tried to blame the dealers for inaction, but I have a local dealer that has been authorized by chevy to try different shocks, springs etc. To solve the problem on other trucks, and has had some success. I only want them to try to do something since nothing has been done up till now. The vibration can be dangerous since it sometimes starts without warning. My wife will not drive the truck at highway speeds.
