I just bought a new Chevy Silverado 1500 with 8 miles on it and ive taken it back to the dealer twice already. I don't know if anyone has seen this problem but i have a slight vibration in steering wheel. The dealer road force balanced the tires and it seemed to help a little but i still feel a vibration in the steering wheel. I had a friend in the truck with me and he described it as jerking but it seems like i feel every bump also in it. Even on a semi smooth road i feel that the steering wheel is constantly vibrating or shaking.

Yeah i don't buy that its normal thats why i posted on here. I feel like something is wrong with the truck. Does your truck do it all the time or only at certain speeds and does it feel like your hitting all the bumps almost like something is wrong with the suspension? Well im taking mine back in tomorrow for another check and drive along with a tech. Ill let you know how it goes once they get back to me.

I had this problem with my 2016 Sierra SLT 1500. GM had a special technician come up from Texas to try and fix my truck. It was in the shop for 3 months out of the 6 months I owned it. They tried everything. GM bought truck back and put me into a 2017 SLT and threw in headrest DVD's for my kids. I was not a happy man, but was thankful for GM working with me. I called them EVERYDAY!!! So stay on them! 

I would first start with the drive shaft, then have them put different rims and tires on your truck. Some rims just aren't made properly, and won't ever balance right, very few, but it does happen.  Try those 2 things first.

Got my truck back and had to go to another dealer because the one I bought it at said the truck is performing as it should. I now went to second dealer but they feel the shake and that's within spec. I told him I'm not buying it and contracted GM directly. I was assigned a rep and going to a third dealership to see if someone will feel what I feel. I almost feel that these people think I'm lying. I'm at the end of my rope with this truck I keep explaining to the service managers I feel and hear something in the back. I also tell them I'm going deaf from serving in Afghanistan and Iraq and I know I need hearing aids so if I hear something that means its loud.

I just traded my 17 in because it had the shake as well.  But luck of the draw, I bought the 2020 3 days ago and it has been in the shop twice, I still have yet to park it in my driveway. I wouldn't like to think I've lost the lottery twice, but I want one decent truck.

Has this issue been fixed for you?  I have a 2021 silverado RST and after 5,000 miles suddenly mine shakes over 60MPH.

I have a 2020 lt

Notice a vibration 

Jacked up the truck and noticed that my back wheels have a small wiggle I think it's from the bearings

I'm getting it checked out 

I'm pretty sure it's the cause

I have the same issue with my 2020 Silverado!! I have my second trip booked with the dealership, the first time a wheel balance was done, but did not fix problem. At 60-70km/hour, it you take your hand off the steering wheel you can see the steering wheel moving back and forth.  Did you get the problem fixed? If so what was the issue?

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
