I was driving down the road, the truck began to shake and bounce real bad. I took to the dealership we purchased the vehicle from and they said $3500 for a new front end to replace all the parts. This truck has never been wrecked or hit anything. This vehicle has 85000 miles on it and its supposed to be a diesel farm truck. It appears the front end was made with parts and material that is not in compliance with industry standards. I was told by the dealership mechanic that the front end could collapse going down the road and injure someone when it collapses. This is on the front end of the truck, the entire front suspension is inadequately equipped with components to maintain the structural integrity of the suspension system.

My vehicle vibrates and shakes at varying speed but mostly between 60 and 75mph. I have been to dealership three times for diagnosis and tires replaced twice. The dealership tested the vehicle with sensors and can not isolate the vibration. I have only had vehicle a few months and question the safety of the vehicle. I wish I had researched the truck on the internet prior to purchase because the problem I am having is known and has a name "the Chevy shake" I hope others will continue to report these concerns because Chevrolet needs to recognize they have a problem and address the issue without the runaround customers are being forced to endure. The vehicle issue needs a recall.

Vehicle shakes or vibrates at most speeds. The vibration is worst at 25-45 and 65mph+. it causes driver fatigue and nausea. Tires have been road forced balanced by dealer and drive shaft replaced in attempts to fix problem. No solution has been found by dealer. Dealer acknowledges the vibrations and says the vibration is normal operation for this vehicle leading me to believe that a recall should be issued.
