Axle Assembly Problems of GMC Sierra

Rear end vibrates due to misalignment of drive shaft to axle. Can't figure out why tranmission shifts hard. Tried replacing seat belt to fix tightening on bump.

Tires wear out exceptionally fast. Dealership authorized replacement of 4 tires in March 2000. At this time, the truck had approx. 16,500 miles. They were replaced due to extreme wear and numerous bulges. About 3 weeks after having these 4 tires replaced, while driving at approx. 20 mph to make a turn, a tire blew. The tire separated from the rim on both edges and was just centered, hanging loosely from the rim, totally deflated. I went ahead and pulled into a station about 20 yards away, where I jacked the truck up and was able to center the tire on the wheel & reinflate it. The tire held pressure & I was able to finish errands & then go to goodyear. At this time, goodyear tells me I hit a nail. They plugged the tire, but told me I needed to take the truck back to dealership as my new tires, with less than 1000 miles, were badly worn and should be replaced. The dealership tells me to return to goodyear for adjustment. I feel there is a problem, don't know if it is the tires or the truck?? when the tire came loose, I bumped the curb & sustained about $1000 of damage, rear axle, bearings, rotor etc. How can a tire totally seperate from the rim & then be reinflated without repair? why do the tires on this truck keep wearing out? encountered another customer today at hudiburg with a similar problm. They were replacing 2 tires for him after replacing all 5 tires previously. Wish they were as considerate in my case, instead of sending me back to deal with goodyear myself!! here I sit with a 1999 Sierra which needs new tires. . There has to be a reason why they wear out so rapidly??why would a tire seperate from the rim/ then be able to be reinflated without repair??( dot number: pd3ddawr27 tire size: 23575r16 ).

Consumer has multiple problems with vehicle. Bearings in the drivetrain are defective/ alignment/brakes repaired/rear end replaced, and other problems developed due to the bearing. An authorized GMC repairman told consumer that's the way GMC makes vehicles. Consuemr insisted that has had nothing but bad expriences with the vehicle, and manufacturer.

Vehicle makes noise when making turns due to faulty front axle grease seals. Nlm.

While driving at 45 mph, the vehicle was violently thrown about and skidded to a stop. Upon inspection of the vehicle it was noted that the front axle vent plug broke and all the oil leaked out and caused the differential to seize. From what the consumer understood there was little or no protection, such a shield or guard, to deflect objects from striking the assembly.
