I have a new 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, regular cab, long bed. It has a pretty bad vibration at various speeds, but it is mostly at higher speeds, say 50 and up. The dealer has balanced the tires three times and condition remains. I told them something is out of balance. They told me the truck has a known condition called "beam shake." I have had two other similar trucks and they did not have this problem. I feel a vibration at high speed is unsafe and can lead to a dangerous situation either directly, or indirectly, by way of a failure of a part, or loss of control of the vehicle.

: the contact stated the vehicle shimmied in the front and rear at 40-60 mph. The contact was unable to see out of the rear view and passenger side mirrors due to the severe vibration. The dealership informed the contact there was a problem with the frame on the 1999-2006 model years of these vehicles and they were unable to correct the problem. The right side door was hard to shut. Updated 09/13/06.

: the contact stated while driving various speeds the vehicle vibrated and caused excessive tire wear. The vehicle was taken to an independent tire dealer who determined the vehicle had a problem that caused the wear on the tires but they could not determine what the problem was. The vehicle was driven to the dealer who determined nothing was wrong with it.
