NHTSA Complaint #713543 — 1999 GMC SIERRA

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE TRUCK AFTER TRAVELING 6 TO 10 MILES AT 70+ MILES PER HOUR WOULD START TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND IT WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL YOU CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT STARTED OUT DOING IT ONCE A WEEK. BUT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE UNTIL IT WAS DOING IT EVERY DAY. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON 8/5/99, THEN AGAIN THE WEEK OF 8/23 THROUGH 8/27/99, AND RETURNED AGAIN 9/14/99. THEY CALLED ME BACK, AND THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER ON 9/16/99 AND TOOK THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR A RIDE. JUST LIKE BEFORE AFTER TRAVELING 7 MILES AT 72 MILES PER HOUR THE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE WITH HIM BEING THE THIRD WITNESS BESIDES MYSELF. THE TRUCK IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AS OF 10/19/99 AND I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE FILED AS A LEMON UNDER THE NC GENERAL STATUTE 20-351, SO THAT NO ONE ELSE ENDS UP WITH IT OR GETS HURT OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. *AK
