Under normal driving conditions at highway speeds 60-80 (more noticeable but can still feel at lower speeds when stopping) mph when the brakes are applied to slow for a toll plaza or off ramp the truck and steering wheel shake excessively. Have driven with 2 mechanics and a service manager at maroone Chevrolet and they have noticed this problem but state "it is normal or not that bad". This is not acceptable as I tow a boat a couple times per month that is 3500 lbs. The truck is rated to pull 7800 lbs. I am worried this could cause brake failure/premature brake component wear. The vehicle was in the shop 5 times for this problem and it still continues. Now the brakes squeal when they are applied and tires are wearing on the inside (a friend with the same truck is also wearing on the inside). The dealer replaced front rotors after turning them once, replaced the front and rear pads, replaced rear drums, and rebalanced the tires. Condition still remains.
