Wheel Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

Spare tire and owner's manual provides conflicting, dangerous, and incomplete information. Numerous times the owner's manual warns of numerous dangers about mixing wheel and tire sizes. Yet this truck is equipped with four 275/60 r 20's (20 inch rim) and the spare is 255/80 r 17 (on a 17 inch rim). There is no "t" label on spare. The spare (maxxim) is labeled in black "temporary use only" but no information can be found as to what this means. The owner's manual says that this spare (even though a different wheel size and tire size) can be driven up to 70mph (55 towing) for unlimited time/distance (time and distance is unspecified). The owner's manual does not clearly say that this a "full size spare" or what constitutes a "full size spare. " this conflicts with the manual's numerous warnings of numerous dangers of driving with mismatched wheels/tires. The dealership was no help.

There is a current recall on this type of vehicle because the spare tire is not the correct size for the vehicle. This is recall #n212346510. Unfortunately, my specific vehicle is not included in that recall for some unknown reason. I experienced a flat tire, road service came and replaced with the spare which is too small for the vehicle, and I was only able to travel to a tire dealership in order to have the original tire repaired and placed back on the vehicle. I still have the wrong size spare even though there is an open recall for this problem. The dealership will not replace the spare without manufacturer recall one my specific vehicle VIN and/or direction to complete the exchange from the manufacturer. Evidently, only a certain percentage of the effected vehicles were recalled. That hardly seems safe. This problem can lead to issues with the brake system if a car uses the wrong size spare. How do I get my specific vehicle added to this recall in order to have the needed service? please advise. Thank you.

Right front wheel control arm broke on the interstate running 70mph with no control.

The ball joint for the front left tire broke while driving on a straight road and caused over $2,100 worth of damage to the wheel, axle, brake, etc. I had no warning or anything when this happened. It felt like my tire popped and when I pulled over, the wheel was still attached but was sitting at an awkward angle. The shop quoted me at $2,154 as there were 5 or 6 different parts they needed to repair including the ball joint, axle, brakes, brake sensors, rim, etc.

It seems the top suspension arm on my front passenger side broke.

My vehicle came equipped from the factory with 18” wheels and tires and a 17” wheel and tire. The vehicle is equipped with 4 wheel abs which fails to operate properly when using the factory equipped spare tire. Gm recall a number of 2018 and 2019 vehicles with this very issue but did not recall my vehicle for this identical issue. I contacted gm who said if my VIN is not listed in the recall it is not an issue and they cannot correct the problem.

1st time I was idling for 30+ minutes, truck was also making strange knocking noises, pulled on to a major highway and rear end locked up, cars were slamming on brakes, almost got killed. Took to shop left for 2 weeks, they said they could find no issues. I assumed they fixed problem, because there was no knocking any more. 3 weeks later, was idling for about 45minutes, pulled into traffic, dark, raining, rear en locked up. Almost got killed a second time. Took in for service and left truck. This needs to be investigated before someone gets killed!.

The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that while driving at 50 mph, he pressed the brake pedal as he began to approach traffic on the highway. As the contact began to steer the vehicle to the left, the entire front driver side wheel assembly detached from the vehicle without warning. Once the vehicle hit the ground, the driver and passenger side airbags deployed and the contact hit the vehicle in front of him as he lost control of the vehicle. The contact was able to steer the vehicle off the highway and onto the left shoulder, the side curtain airbags then deployed as the vehicle came to a complete stop. Due to the failure, the brake line broke and spewed brake fluid throughout the engine and onto the road which resulted in an engine fire. The authorities were called to the scene and were able to extinguished the fire. A police report was filed(210081107). The contact did not seek medical attention at the scene but did treat himself for a scrape to the head once he returned home. The vehicle was towed to his home where it remained in his possession. The dealer was notified of the failure and he sent them pictures of the damaged vehicle. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 1,100.

2015 silverado clear coat peeling off wheels and not holding air I,m [xxx] if I need this truck in an emergency I,m stranded. Have contacted the dealer and gm both with no success the wheels were $2900. And they wanted me to pay $2300. For a truck that has 50,000 miles on it. It is clearly a safety issue driving down the road when they will not hold air. I filed a complaint in oct 2021 and oct 2024 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Driving on the freeway the right back wheel just broke off. The tire went flying across the freeway. No one was hurt physically but it could have been worse. The wheels were not customized or changed in any way. My husband, myself and our baby were inside.

My truck has already had a shimmy feel in the transmission around 60 mph it shook and would slip gears. I just had it get worse this week. I also noticed that the front end is not shaking really bad from 60-75 mph on newly paved roads. The truck used to drive like a dream now its driving so rough and there is something going on!.

Michelin tire exploded while driving on a highway approximately 30 mph, no problems before. Only 14,500 miles driven.

Vehicle bought new from dealer Dec 2020. I decided to replace some lights so, I lowered the spare tire for better access while replacing a light bulb. I noticed everywhere the spare tire and the frame cross members come into contact the paint has rubbed away and rust has begun to form. Also, the sidewall of the spare tire has corresponding spots where the rubber has worn away. This leads me to have concerns as to the spare tire's availability in the event of a flat.

The tires have large cracks forming in the sidewalls. The cracks are deep and it appears may rupture at any moment. The cracks are wide enough to easily put 2 pennies in nd cover the top of Lincoln's head. Noticed this has happening last year, but just noticed how bad it has become.

I have had an issue with my 2007 chevy silverado jerking with a hard thump while accelerating. At first it was diagnoses as a faulty throttle body. Replaced the throttle body. Now it intermittently pulls hard when accelerating at any speed. This cannot be safe. Dealerships cannot figure out the issue and I am having trouble googling any specific reason. Many people have this same issue with little to resolution. This is intermittently so it the stabilitrac and traction control lights come on and off within minutes. It was happening a few times a weeks and now it is happening a few times a day. This cannot be good for the safety of the vehicle on the road or the people in it.

Im not able to let down the spare. The system dont work properly on most trucks. This is dangerous when on the interstate.

I have had the tire pressure indicator that tells the tire pressure of all four tire replaced several times. John l sullivan Chevrolet in roseville California keeps telling me that they are wearing out do to use. But the truck only has 70k in mileage and I they malfunction all the time. I get readings of 99 lbs of air pressure. Then the same tire will say 0 lbs of pressure. And it will say 7, then 29 then 18 lbs of air pressure in a distance of 2 blocks traveled. This is a malfunction due to faulty parts in the gm tire pressure reading system and they need to fix it. If I take it to the chevy dealer, they want to charge me $209 to per tire to replace them and then they still do not work after they replace them still get crazy tire pressure readings and it warnings flashing on my instrument panel that are distracting and dangerous. It does not flashes every 5 seconds that I have a tire pressure issue and it needs to get resolved. But Chevrolet will not do anything but charge money of there problem with their truck part that is malfunctioning.

Pulled out of a construction site after a work day and the wheels on my truck locked up right in the middle of the road. If I was pulling into a highway, I would not be writing this right now. The truck was idling for about 2 hours before I pulled out into traffic. The way the wheels stopped, it felt like the parking brake is engaging when I drive. Maybe this is some kind of limp mode to prevent damage. If that is the case, it is a very dangerous fail-safe to implement on a vehicle that people depend on for work. I do not think it is a coincidence that this is the first silverado model with an electronic parking brake. Oh yah, and this just coincidentally happened 1000 miles after my bumper-to-bumper warranty expired. Also, gm customer service is just a call center in india. Don't bother calling them.

After purchasing vehicle, the truck shakes extremely bad on highway, I notified dealer the same day and they have come to the conclusion after performing a road force test that the wheels are either bent or damaged. The shake is so bad it is hard to hold wheels steady and tire almost feels like it is going to come off. The dealer is stating that they refuse to pay for the cost to fix the safety problem even under warranty. I have driven back and forth an hour each way to dealer over 5 times now and they do not want to fix the situation.

I received an letter in the mail stating that my vehicle had an recall for airbags. I call gerry lane south chevy in baton rouge, la and they refused to honor it. I've contacted them about 3 weeks ago. Can someone help me with this? I would hate for something to happen to me if I was in an accident. Also, I've looked on NHTSA website for other recalls on my vehicle. My vehicle has an recall for an wheel hub assemblies. My vehicle pulls to the right to the point that I have to stop to the vehicle (if I can), and it roars very. According to the NHTSA website the vehicle should have the recalled done but I don't believe it was done correctly. Can I get the dealership to fix the recall if the recall was already done? I am the second owner of the vehicle.

I took my vehicle in for service and riverside Chevrolet, they documented my vehicle tire pressure was reinflated to factory specs but they were not.

A rear tire blew causing loss of control and the vehicle struck a shale wall on the side of a highway and someone died in the vehicle.

Tl the contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving on the highway, the rear of the vehicle fishtailed and swung back and forth. Al serra Chevrolet (6167 s saginaw st, grand blanc, mi 48439, (810) 202-001) stated that the tires caused the failure. The dealer refused to replace the tires, but admitted that the failure also occurred to other vehicles. The manufacturer stated that there were no defects in the tires and would not replace the tires. The failure mileage was 20.

Front suspension repaired fixed but did not fixed the vibration in front tires. Front driver side hub and bearing assembly failed since I had truck(used). Had front end redone but wheel still vibrated and took it too dealership July 3, 2021 and stated the hub and bearing grinding and growling and activates abs lights. Fuel line needs replace due to rust problems and dealership stated that the pump and retaining cam are very rusted and has a spot on the pump that is wet but not soaking wet(fail dealership looking for lawsuit for fire hazard). Fuel lines are rusted so whole truck needs repair. I spent $5400 on used truck and putting more money into it with repairs due to rust, parts and labor which is stupid as some parts do not take long if dealership have tools. I don't know incident as there no accident or anything.

Valvestems split at base adjacent to wheel after < 4 months and < 5000miles. These were purchased from general motors (dealership) and installed by a reputable tire store. They would release air at a rate of approximately 10-15psi per 100mi driven and only at freeway speeds. No air loss around town or over night while sitting. Bending the valve stem downward (away from the hub and towards the tire) caused the air to escape. This is the direction they would natural bend while spinning due to centrifugal force. All 4 were leaking or showed signs of damage in the same location.
