I purchased a new, 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 in August of this year. I have been dealing with a vibration related problem at highway speeds in my truck. I have also filed a complaint on the vehicle on this site. After days of frustration with GM and Continental tire company, I came across attire recall for the exact tire on my truck giving me the same problem. I have a high speed vibration. The dealer has completed a road force balance that they say meets GM specs. The service manager at the dealer says he too can feel the vibration, but has no authorization to proceed. It has been a dog and pony dance for the past few weeks. GM has done nothing to fix my issue. There is a recall on the exact tires on my truck for the same issue, but my tires do not fall in the lot of tires recalled. I believe there is still a manufacture defect in my tires! the recall notice is as follows:NHTSA campaign number: 16T016000. I have logged a complaint with Continental. I have visited discount tire store in woodstock ga. They are an authorized distributor for Continental. Continental expects me to pay for a new set of tires and wait or their analysis to decide if I will be reimbursed. Meanwhile, GM is doing nothing as of yet except stalling to fix the problem. No parts have been replaced. I am filing this complaint because I believe there is still an issue with these tires. The discount tire store manager said he had another Silverado customer with the same tire and complaint come in a week prior to me. That customer was having the same issues with a different dealer he purchased the truck from. How many people have to die before the tire issue is addressed" who is accountable for my wife to take to court should it happen to me" please look into this immediately.

Silverado 1500 8-cyl

  • 340 miles
I am having an issue with my new 2016 Silverado and a vibration at highway speeds. I took the truck back to the dealer where it was purchased with around 340 miles on it. I was told they could do nothing until I had 1000 miles on the truck (they stated they could not get paid by Chevy for warranty items). That ticket stated they rebalanced my tires. This had no change. I took the truck back after 1000 miles. The dealer did a road force balance. This helped very little. Now, at 1345 miles, it is back in the shop. They state they will do a picoscope on the truck and check the axle. I should mention the underlying issue is a vibration that can be felt at speeds in excess of 65-70mph. It is more prevalent from 70-75mph. I have filed a complaint with GM, reference case 82405350103. This appears to be the same issue for the 2014-2015 models referred to as the "Chevy shake". one more attempt and I will likely start lemon law procedures in ga. I would like someone to seriously investigate GM on this complaint. There are plenty of forums with people complaining about the same issue. This could be an extremely dangerous issue if it is tire or wheel related, or even drive shaft related.

No failure, just poor performance. Goodyear Eagle ls-2 on a 2016 Silverado. Tires were so out of balance the entire vehicle shook at highway speeds. The shop had to replace several tires as they could not be balanced. Defective tires!
