Wheel problem #1

I went to buy new tires for the first time and they called me back and asked had the truck been in a wreck and no it hadn't. They asked had I bought it new and the answer was yes. My truck has been driven by me a 53 year old woman and has been taken care of. They said they had never seen anything like this. My rim was broken all the way through.

Wheel problem #2

My vehicle vibrates and shakes at varying speed but mostly between 60 and 75mph. I have been to dealership three times for diagnosis and tires replaced twice. The dealership tested the vehicle with sensors and can not isolate the vibration. I have only had vehicle a few months and question the safety of the vehicle. I wish I had researched the truck on the internet prior to purchase because the problem I am having is known and has a name "the chevy shake" I hope others will continue to report these concerns because Chevrolet needs to recognize they have a problem and address the issue without the runaround customers are being forced to endure. The vehicle issue needs a recall.

Wheel problem #3

Vehicle shakes or vibrates at most speeds. The vibration is worst at 25-45 and 65mph+. It causes driver fatigue and nausea. Tires have been road forced balanced by dealer and drive shaft replaced in attempts to fix problem. No solution has been found by dealer. Dealer acknowledges the vibrations and says the vibration is normal operation for this vehicle leading me to believe that a recall should be issued.
