2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Wheels Problems

CLEAR COAT ON ALUMINUM WHEELS IS BLISTERING AND OUT OF WARRANTY

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...

RIGHT FRONT TIRE SIDEWALL BLEW OUT. TIRE IS A MICHELIN LTX MS2 SIZE 275 70 18. THIS IS THE SAME SERIES TIRE THAT MICHELIN HAS ALREADY HAD A RECALL ON BUT A DIFFERENT SIZE. CAN ONLY SUSPECT THAT THIS TIRE SIZE HAS SAME PROBLEM SINCE THERE IS NO VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF THE TIRE BEING CUT ANYWHERE AS INSPECTED BY BLACK'S TIRE SERVICE IN WILMINGTON NC WHICH WAS THE NEAREST MICHELIN DEALER AT THE END OF MY TRIP TO NC. ALSO HAVE PICTURE OF TIRE IF NEEDED. *TR

WHILE TOWING A 5TH WHEEL TRAILER AT 60 MPH, THE RIGHT REAR (PASSENGER) WHEEL CAME OFF THE TRUCK. FIVE OF THE EIGHT WHEEL STUDS SHEARED OFF, THREE OTHERS LOST THEIR LUG NUTS. THE TRAILER WEIGHT DID NOT EXCEED THE AXLE, WHEEL OR TIRE WEIGHT RATINGS. *TR

NEW VEHICLE FRONT END SUSPENSION BEGAN TO RANDOMLY VIOLENTLY SHAKE AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS (ONCE @ 55 MPH & ONCE @ 70 MPH). THE SHAKING WAS SO BAD THAT THE DRIVER COULD BARLEY HOLD THE WHEEL STRAIGHT TO AVOID LOSING CONTROL & CRASHING. WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING THE VEHICLE 4 WD LIGHT WAS BLINKING DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN 2 WD. ONCE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER HE INSPECTED THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE TO FIND NO MECHANICAL ISSUES (NO FLAT TIRES, THINGS IN THE WHEELS, ETC...). DRIVER THEN BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN & THE VEHICLE WAS FINE AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. DRIVER CALLED ONSTAR & THEY STATED THERE WERE NO FAULT CODES IN THE SYSTEM. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH. THIS TIME THE DRIVER NEARLY GOT INTO A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT. HE WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE...
