After sitting over night you take vehicle on highway it will begin shimming lightly and then build up until the wheel shakes violently. If you try to brake it gets worse. When you pull it off road and start up the shimmy usually goes away. It is lucky we haven't been killed. I have been told by the dealer that other trucks have had the same problem. One driver recorded this on tape. Another dealer in the area is also having this problem the dealer and company cannot find out what is wrong. The last time the dealer had the truck for 2 weeks. They have been playing with it since March. Gen motors has been no help. Their tac has no answer, yet I am stuck with this problem. What does it take" my wife and I to be killed" she will not drive it.
The vehicle vibrates at and after 65 mph, the steering wheel shimmies and shakes. Have taken to dealer on two seperate dates for repair. Was told cause unknown. Tires have been rotated and balances 4 time in 6 months. Tire dealer blames wheels or other mechanical problems. Brake pedal will go to floorboard with slight pressure. Have not had to make panic stop. Vehicle vibrates under slight pull at low speeds as if pulling heavy load.
