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.

2004 Colorado 2wd have had to replace front tires for wear on inside treads 2 or 3 times since the truck has been purchased. Was told this was a Chevrolet problem, as a result of the incorrect front sum toe. Tires on back last 4 times as long as ones on front. Have had front end looked at several times. Now it is very noticeable in the driving of the truck. Truck has not been off the highway since purchase. Strictly pavement use. No wrecks or hits to cause front end damage.

We feel that 2006 Chevrolet Colorado pickup we purchased has a defective front end. Front tire inside tread wore off at 10,000 miles. At approximately 22,000 miles is doing same thing. Front end is pigeon toed?? dealer says it is because we didn't rotate tires. We don't believe them!! our mechanic doesn't either!! we think it is a defective front end!.

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.

I have a 2004 Colorado, 4 wheel drive, 4 door. 32,000 miles. Dec 2005 I noticed that the inside of my front tires were worn. I checked the back and they were worn too. I had just had the truck inspected in sept. I took it to the dealer and he gave me a speech on how to drive my truck. I replaced all 4 tires in may 2006. Then again in sept 2007 and I need new again Jan 2009. Same problem and the front end won't stay in alignment. They keep telling me there's nothing wrong. When your front end goes out of alignment a month after it's put in there's a problem!.
