NHTSA Complaint #10781847 — 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500

VIBRATION FOR THE REAR OF THE TRUCK HAD BEEN DOING THIS SINCE NEW. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY BALANCED THE TIRES IN 7 MAR 2012. NO CHANGE VIBRATION STILL THERE. TOOK IT TO DISCOUNT TIRE REBALANCED STILL NO GO. I WROTE IT OFF THINKING THIS WAS NORMAL FOR 2500 SERIES TRUCKS. AUG 2015 I UPGRADED THE RIMS TO FORGED J RATED 6,600LBS AND TIRES TO H RATED 4,940LBS. BECAUSE OF THE HIGHER AIR PRESSURE THIS MADE THE VIBRATION WORSE. I PUT THE TRUCK ON JACK STANDS AND RAN IT IN GEAR TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE PROBLEM. WHAT I FOUND BOTH REAR AXLE HUBS ARE WARPED CAUSING THE WHEELS TO WOBBLE SEVERELY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY INITIALLY DID NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO ME AND I HAD A VIDEO OF IT. THEY FINALLY LOOKED AT THE VIDEO AND WENT TO CHECK OUT THE TRUCK. AN HOUR LATER THEY CALL PAYING THE TRUCK WAS READY FOR PICKUP. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY OUT .015THS. I A TRAINED MECHANIC AND THIS IS SIMPLY BS. I CAN SEE THE WOBBLE WITH BY BARE EYES THAT'S MORE THAN .O15 THOUSANDS. ON TOP OF THAT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE TRUCK HAD 96000 PLUS MILES ON IT ATT. THE DEALER DID NOT DOCUMENT THIS AND BASICALLY WROTE IT OFF. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THIS BUT IT'S TOO BIG TO SEND AND IT'S IN WMV FORMAT. PLEASE GIVE ME AN ADDRESS AND POINT OF CONTACT SO I CAN SEND YOU THE CD. THE VIDEO SAYS IT ALL THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
