Ever since I purchased this auto I have been complaining about a front end problem. The auto dealer kept telling me it was nothing. Sensing it was a male/female problem I took my son in one day and they finally looked and said it was because I had "glazed brakes". The siutation did not improve after the so called fixed it. Shortly thereafter, I noticed something very funny about the tire on the front passenger side of my vehicle. I had already had the tires rotated so there would be not reason for excessive wear and bubbling on one tire only. I then took the auto a front end alignment shop. It was determined that the front end was out over 3/4" and could not be aligned without proper manufacturer adjustment of the holes. They refused. Chevy has acknowledged this problem by manufacturing the elongated hole on the 2000 model. Please be aware that neither chevy or my dealership would assist us. I was able to pay for this repair and have it done before I had a major front end blow out. Please, please make this information available to the public before we start reading about Tahoes as well as fords.
Vehicle shakes while driving. Had replaced four sets of tires. Been in / out of dealer shop, and nothing can be found. Can NHTSA help in this problem.
This veh. Has been in the shop 7 times and problem is the same. At high speeds the front end vibrates. When you go around a curve at certin speed and hit a bump you lose control of the vehicle. This has happened twice to me . One time I lost partial control into oncoming traffic at 75mph. They have blamed the tires (although they replaced them 5 times) they have realigned the front, balanced the tires endlessly and tried everything they could think of and accomplished nothing. This is truly a dangerous to have on the road and is going to kill someone one of these days.
