Sierra 1500 SLT

As I am driving down the Highway my truck shakes like I have a death wobble on a lifted jeep. There is no reason for a unmodified truck to have a death wobble.

problem #2

Sierra 1500 SLE 5.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 6,799 miles

The vibration got extremely bad around 5000 miles, and has gotten progressively worse. It has been in approx. 6 times for this issue. The dealership tried road force balancing the tires the problem was worse. Now GM is saying no problem found. They are not interested in doing anything.

problem #1

Sierra 1500 Z71 5.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 6,000 miles

I have owned this truck for 8 months now, and I haven't had any issues with shaking or vibrations on the freeway until about 2 months ago. Since then, a vibration developed and has gotten worse over time. When I am driving down the freeway at mph the seat shakes so much I can feel it. I can see the passenger seat shaking. I have never owned a vehicle before that the passenger seat would shake when going down the freeway. I also get a slight vibration in the steering wheel.

This isn't normal. I have read other complaints on here with the same issue that the dealer has told the owner this is normal for this truck.

I just dropped the vehicle off today at a GMC dealer. They told me the wheels need to be balances. I am hopeful this takes care of the problem. If not ,I don't want the truck back until it is fixed.
