I had issues with steering control, specially on curves at 40 T0 65 miles P/H on the road from beginning of the purchase.I have been to Chevy dealer to complain about safety issue on the road.but dealer finds no physical defect on the car.on mat 15 2015 finally I lost the control of steering wheel and hit the side walk curb and broke front and rear axles.likely no personal injury.I am very concerned about safety of other owners in this regard.I have checked other resources to find if there are similar cases like mine, and surprisingly there are too many of them. Please let me help to save others from loosing their lives. Thanks.

My left front wheel hub assembly failed while driving. Brake system was compromised. I was able to pull over and stop safely, but brakes did not respond as they should. Moreover, there was no indication that the wheel bearing was failing, and I am quite aware of what this sounds like because this will be the fourth time I have replaced the wheel hub assembly on the left side. I have replaced the right hub assembly twice. In all previous times, I heard a slight whirling noise or at worse slight grinding, which would lead me to inspection and replacement before failure. This time it failed without any warning. I believe GM has made a serious design and/or quality error in this truck. This should be investigated because this is a common problem.

Silverado 2500 4WD 8-cyl

  • 100,000 miles
Purchased a set of 4.federal couragia mt 33/12.50/20 from sd wheelcorp in April 2012. After approx 16000 miles 2 of the four have tread/belt separation creating bubbles on the tires. The tires have always been rotated and correct pressure was maintained. This is a defective and possibly deadly tire and should be recalled.

Front passenger wheel bearing went out first time at 29,000 miles, second time same wheel bearing went out at 42,000 miles. Both times fixed by a local repair shop. Was told lucky wheel didn't fall off. I looked online and other people having same problem. Chevy Silverado 1/2 ton pickup 4 wheel drive automatic if that makes a difference.

Had been out of town for week-end. Was returning and traveling North on I-65 towards montgomery, Alabama. Exited I-65 North to make a gas stop at greenville, Alabama. Upon reaching yield sign noticed loud scraping, crunching, popping noise coming from left front of vehicle. Stopped immmediately at service station. Checked vehicle by moving backwards and forwards. Noise continued. Spent the night at hotel. Called repair shop following Monday morning. They replaced front wheel hub assembly. They have old parts. Mechanic said we were lucky wheel did not come off on interstate and cause bad mvw. Vehicle has 35,000 miles on it. No noise was coming from wheel until exiting highway. No motion in steering or any indication that there was a problem. Was told by several other mechanics that this is not uncommon incident. That the assembly is not servicable and that it just goes bad immediately without warning. Have had report that one vehicle had both wheel hubs go out within a few weeks of each other.
