Front Suspension problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Colorado

All four tires have worn and cupped from being on front at different times as I rotate them. Align done regularly but still cupping. Dealer says there is nothing wrong with front suspension/alignment. I don't agree but can't prove. 2005 Colorado pickup.

Front end vibration, and very bad front tire wear.

I had been noticing mild vibration at highway speeds and mild pull during braking. I accidentally discovered I had severe inside edge tire wear after only 30,000 miles on the vehicle. I went online and found a TSB relating to the tire wear. I brought this to the attention of my dealer, who replaced the front tires and adjusted the "z" height of the front suspension. 5,000 miles later, I again found severe inside edge wear on my front tires, which the dealership claimed was due to a misalignment which they adjusted. Recent inspection of my tires again showed continued, severe, inside tire wear, at 46000 miles. Obviously, the dealership and manufacturer have not acted strongly enough to correct the problem. Had I not accidentally discovered the tire wear when I did, I might of had a front end blowout at highway speeds.

: the contact stated the front end wobbled at any speed. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and it was determined the vehicle needed new tires and the front end should be aligned. Updated 9/13/2006 - the consumer also noticed that the inside of the front tires were bald. The dealer made corrections based on a service bulletin and replaced the front tires at no charge.

Took vehicle to dealership for excessive wear of inside of the front tires. Since vehicle was at 13000 miles the factory warranty was no longer covered for any repair. Dealership was not going to cover anything. They were going to charge a $40 fee just to evaluate the problem. Since the front end was out of alignment the fee was waived and was charged $59. 95 for the alignment. Took vehicle to a tire store and paid for a new set of tires for a total repair of over $200. Research shows that this is a common problem but manufacturer denies any problem. Complaint was filed with manufacturer same day.

I took my 2005 Chevrolet Colorado (purchased in late June 2005) in for a pennsylvania required vehicle inspection. The inspection station refused to inspect the vehicle due to tire ware and improper front alignment. I made an appointment at the dealership to check the problem and vehicle inspection. The dealer informed me my vehicle had to many miles on it for the warranty to cover it. I have not had the vehicle for a year yet and the alignment is already out and tires are worn. Looking at you site I can see problems with these vehicles for the front end alignment. The dealer rotated my tires and inspected my vehicle. He informed me that I should as soon as possible have the vehicle in for an alignment.

1. Improper front end alignment, repaired at dealer under warranty. 2. Five flat tires, resulting from puncture and improper wheel/tire seal-repaired free by local tire dealers.
