VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALER CANNOT FIND OR FIX PROBLEM. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. REPLACED HUBS, TIRES PADS ROTORS AND DRUMS STILL HAVE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A QUESTION ON REGARDING MY 2008 CHEVY COLORADO. I RECENTLY HAD MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE DUE TO THE REAR AXLE PROBLEMS I FEEL NEED ATTENTION. DURING MY OBSERVATION. THE TIRE ON THE DRIVER SIDE SPACE BETWEEN THE WHEEL AND THE BODY OF THE TRUCK IS DIFFERENT FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. I CANNOT STICK MY HAND IN THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE WHEEL AND THE PASSENGER I CAN STICK MY HAND AND ARM IN. I WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL AND THAT THERE IS NO WAY THAT IS SO BECAUSE THE AXLE IS ONE WHOLE PIECE. I FEEL THAT WHEN I DRIVE THE AXLE SOMEWHAT SLIDES FROM SIDE TO SIDE. MY COLORADO WAS BOUGHT NEW. CURRENTLY IT HAS 20,300 MILES ON. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT HAS TO REPEATEDLY PURCHASE NEW TIRES FOR THE VEHICLE DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW. A CERTIFIED MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND CONCLUDED THAT THE FRONT END ALTERED THE TIRE ALIGNMENT, WHICH CAUSED THEM TO FAIL. THE DEALER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT A FAILURE EXISTS; THEREFORE, THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAS POSSESSION OF THE FAILED COMPONENTS. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 10,000.
