| 2006 | TIRES:TREAD/BELT | I OWN A 2006 CHEVROLET COLORADO WITH 14,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER ON AT LEAST 5 OCCASIONS COMPLAINING OF A TERRIBLE VIBRATION. THE VIBRATION IS HORRIBLE FROM 40-55+ MILES PER HOUR. THE DEALER HAS SO FAR REPLACED THE 2 FRONT TIRES, REPLACED THE AIR INSIDE THE TIRES, ROTATED THE TIRES AND MOST RECENTLY STATED THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO. AFTER THE LAST VISIT, I SAID THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK AND YOU OR GM ARE GOING TO HAVE TO STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION AND I AM VERY NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING THE TRUCK WITH THIS TERRIBLE VIBRATION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN DO. I THINK A RECALL IS IN THE CARDS, EITHER TO REPLACE THE ALL THE TIRES OR MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO THE TRUCK FRAME, ETC. *TR |
