When the truck reaches a speed over 35 mph the steering wheel, the seat, and the entire truck has a vibration. I live in East Tennessee. I purchased the truck in Georgia. It is about a three hour drive from where I purchased the truck to my home. On the drive home I noticed the vibration right away. I thought it may be a tire balance issue so I continued the trip home. The next day I talked with the local dealer and was informed I need 500 miles on the truck before they will work a vibration issue. When I took the truck for service a few days later I was informed that several trucks have this same issue and GM does not know what to do about the issue. The dealer balanced the tires and told me that is all they can do about the vibration. Through searching the internet and talking with other dealers I have found that may parts have been replaced with no help. Drive shafts, axle shafts, wheels and tires have been replaced and rear ends have been rebuilt. Nothing seems to help. Most dealers have worked this issue on several trucks. If this vibration is coming from any part of the drive train or suspension and the part has a catastrophic failure it can cause serious injury or possibly death.

Bad shake at highway speeds, balancing tires didn't help, faulty steering components could be a safety issue.
- Muskegon, MI, USA
When driving at highway speeds on winding roads, the steering does not return to center when the turn is finished. The steering "sticks" and the wheel needs to be pushed back to center. The steering sticks hard and it takes considerable force to return the wheel to center, sometimes resulting in an overcorrection, and loss of lane position. The truck is difficult to control and impossible to keep centered in the lane when having this problem. The problem consistently happens at highway speed, and on winding roads. Gentle curves do not produce the problem, but the winding interstate highways of Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina do. The truck now has 7000 miles on it, and the problem appears to be getting worse.
