The first and ongoing problem grinding in front left, driver, side wheel area. Many attempts have been made to fix this problem, they started out changing the whole front end, along with alignments, after some adjusting the problem will seem to go away only to return with in 2 months second, tires worn from inside out alignment, new tires, I was told one reason was the truck was dirty. I do not feel this is a reason for tire wear. New tires same problem. Third, truck not engaging when shifted into gear. This is on going, we have taken it in many times, the modular for the 2-4H-4L drive was changed, still have problem, they claim can not fix if it does not happen with them, , I video taped it, they will not look at video. Problem is intermittently, and have been asked to do different things to the truck when it happens, the problem is happening more often now, the problem seems to be growing. And still no answer to this or other problems, the dealer should have took back the truck and replaced it, if they can not be fixed.

I noticed uneven wear on my tires. So, I stopped at a garage and I was told the tires were under inflated even though I had the tires at the recommending psi. I put the psi in that the technician recommended and the problem seemed to go away. I went in to have a routine oil change done at a local shop a year after this, and I needed to replace all 4 tires. They had worn down on the inside tread to the steel within only 26K miles. The vehicle has been driven conservatively, and mostly highway miles by my wife. So I put four new tires and had an alignment.

Contact stated vehicle came off of the assembly line misaligned. She had to replace one tire at her expense. The first tire to blow out was the rear driver's side tire on 6-11-05 while driving 20 mph, going uphill. The second time tire blew out while driving on the highway at 65 mph. She said the car felt as if it was floating. Consumer took vehicle to the garage and they told her the car came off of the assembly line misaligned. They replaced another tire at their expense. The dealership told consumer they would reimburse her for the first tire. The manufacturer offered her an extended warranty. She is still was concerned with safety. They told her they may have to replace the other two tires at the dealership's expense. Also on 6-6-05 the check engine light kept coming on. The dealership replaced valve springs, per bulletin. The front axle seals and front shocks were defective, and they replaced the front and rear shocks. This service was performed on 6-23 and 6-24-05. On 6-29-05 the check engine light came back on. She says the car felt like it was floating. She took it back in 7-7-05 and they had to replace a bracket for the squealing belt. On 7-13-05 she took it for a six mile round trip and the check engine light came on and the truck smelled like it was burning. She took it back on 7-14-05. They said they did not know what was wrong, and they would have to consult with the GM engineers.

The tires wobble on the vehicle and make the vehicle vibrate. There have been 13 tires put on this truck since 9-27-04. The truck also fishtails on these tires when the speed is 50 and over. GM has been contacted and all they want to do is extend the warranty and keep replacing the tires. GM has informed the owner that these general tires, general ameritrac TR are the only tires that are showing wear on the inside. All four tires on all four locations have been replaced. The rear passenger tire has been replaced one extra time for a factory defect. This is a Z-71 suspension. The correction: The dealership keeps changing out the tires and GM has supplied a rental vehicle while this has been an on going issue. The tire are general ameritrac TR. Tire size 265/75R15.

I have Chevrolet Colorado, 2004 standard cab. The left reat tire blew and I mean blew while I was driving down the freeway. I don't think I hit a thing, but the tire literally popped. It took the dealer over 2 weeks to get a tire in because they were out. If they are going through this many tires there has to be a problem.
