Description of the problem | Truck shakes severely when driving at speeds above 70 mph on many different road types. This problem started not too long after i got my truck new. After complaining about it the service department said this is "standard 22 inch wheel vibration." after i had about 35000 miles on it the vibration got so bad i couldn't stand to drive on the freeway. Took it back to the dealer and they said the tires were wore out even though there was still plenty of tread. Had another shop look at it and they found one of the wheels was ever so slightly bent. Took it back to the dealer to confirm. They sold me a new wheel, the problem didn't go away or change in any way. I bought new tires as they recommended, problem was still there but not so severe until after driving a few thousand miles. The more miles i put on the tires the worse the vibration gets. Took it back into the dealer again recently, they keep telling me it's standard vibration for 22 inch wheels. I know this is bogus because i know a few people with the exact same wheels and tires that don't have the shaking problem, they can drive as fast as they want and it's smooth. Everybody that rides with me asks what is wrong with my truck. How can i convince the dealer that there is an actual problem? |
