19k miles, front tires out of round and wear on inside rib only.

When they change out your tires, ask them to look at the camber. With only 19K miles, sounds like your wheels may have too much negative.

Well folks, I did it. After all the failed attempts at the Chevy dealer I traded it in for a 2015 Ram 1500 Larame. I have to agree with the other folks on here that have done the same thing, it was th

Apparently you and the other customer reps don't care. If you or GM would care y'all would put more effort in the matter. Just coming on the forum and stating the same repetitive posts and being a 3

Well I have some good news and bad news about my truck vibrations. Good news is that my truck has a significantly less vibration at speed. The bad news is my truck has significantly less vibration. Fo

A toe out condition will also cause excessive wear on the inside of the tire. If both sides are wearing more on the inside, then incorrect toe may be more likely, as camber would require both sides to be off, whereas toe is a single adjustment and will affect both side equally.

I, too, can vouch for the vibration issue with the 2014 Silverado. Like some of you I didnt test drive the truck at highway speeds. I noticed the vibration as soon as I got on the highway headed home but it wasnt bad enough to turn around. After a couple days of it I started looking online to see if this was normal and I found this thread. It's been a little over 2 years, 68k miles, 2nd set of tires, numerous trips to the dealership, and the problem is still there. Each time they give me the same excuses of "can't duplicate it" or "its fixed". At first they kept telling me "its a truck, it will do that" or "well you have the 20's on it so it will ride rough". Yeah, especially compared to the Acadia I just traded in for this truck. But it still shouldnt ride like a tank. I've ridden in 18-wheeler tractors and H1 Hummers that rode like Caddy's compared to this truck. I've talked to co-workers and friends who have the exact same truck and they all love theirs. It's been long enough. I cant stand driving this thing anymore.

 

I am bringing it to another dealership to try some of the things i just read about in this thread and see if they can resolve it.

BBB granted my repurchase. 3 visits, 4th and final repair, and an attempt AFTER the 4th visit. 52 total days out of service.

 

The process was smooth, and easy but it took a while to get to this point.

Or, like myself - it sucks but nothing is going to ever happen. Learned a lesson - if you buy a vehicle and it has a problem, immediately start with the lemon law and don't take "no" or "GM is working on a fix" for the answer. I have about 18 months for lease to expire and I am going to trade in on 99 Wrangler because after this my guess is the Jeep will feel like a Cadillac.

Good morning Justin P,

I apologize for any inconvenience this situation has caused you, and recognize how multiple trips to the dealership can be frustrating. However, I am happy to see that you have been working with a GM dealership to address this concern, as I understand you’re your desire to have this diagnosed. I would be more than happy to provide you additional support while you’re working with your dealer.

Well after going back and forth with GM a bit via email, I accepted a trade assist offer contingent upon the approval of the full compensation of all accessories and warranties on my truck. It will not cost me anything, and I am just waiting for the updated offer letter now. Still very nervous about another GM, and don't know which one I'll be getting. H*ll may even go straight to anther Brand and dump it with 40 miles on the clock, still havn't decided that yet.

Over 600 pages and climbing, so I am sure this post will get lost.

Just an FYI, I just mounted a set of take off tires and rims from a 2016 on my 2001 Sierra. It now has that harmonic vibration above 65 MPH. Tires are balanced, its more of a harmonic vibration, not a tire out of balance or a bent rim.

I have a 2014 Chevy Silverado that did the shake. I stopped the shake when I took my 4 wheel auto off and put it in just 2 wheel. The 4x4 drive shift was trying to engage when accelerating when it was in 4 wheel auto. No more shake she runs so smooth.

I believe there was a transfer case recall for the 2014's. You might want to look into that.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
