ford and dodge are just as bad so it would be a Tacoma for my next one, I just prefer regular cabs and they no longer make regular cab tacomas, you cant even special order one.

as to lemon law in Louisiana you need a record of 4 unsuccessful repairs for the same problem then it takes 8 months to a year to finally get resolution which is just to force them to give you a replacement vehicle with equal or greater value and equipt so the only way to get your money back is if they no longer make the vehicle or you can convince the judge they cant give you a vehicle that wont still have the same problem.

whats worse is at some point in the repair process they sent a GM representative to test and measure the vibration while you drive and no matter how bad it vibrates he will lie and say the meter didn't register anything and "all the trucks do it" so its a normal condition, and once that happens as far as GM is concerned its case closed and your SOL because unless its a road safety issue that makes it so you cant drive it then its not something the "have to" fix so just because it drives like crap and vibrates doesn't mean its not safe to drive so its not covered by warranty since its not a defect but its called "normal" for all the trucks.

long story short a design defect that makes it drive or feel like crap is not a safety issue you can sue over.

basic solution I see is let them try the list of things that work for some people and pray im one of the lucky ones and it fixes mine, if not aftyer 4 repairs file a lemon law claim and the usually offer to swap the truck out for another one and that's ok with me IF the other one doesn't vibrate.

if all of the above isn't resolving the situation then it will be this time next year so I will go trade it in on a leftover 2015 as they put em on sale to make room for the new 2016's

if you wonder how wide spread this is look at the GM forums complaints http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topi...ration-issues/ it starts when they first came out last year and goes on for 185 pages of em to get caught up to recent posts like today. its amazing what these guys have gone through and how some were treated by GM

but look on the bright side, chevy has some super great deals on the remaining 2014 silverados still in stock so you can get one real cheap right now

Still too rich for my blood. I won't give my money to a company that has basically become a Chinese automaker.

In their quest to meet EPA fuel usage guidelines, the new vehicles are being stripped of the tried and true technologies like hydraulic steering.
Just like always, our government has stuck their finger in our pie and swirled it into mush.

yep, in fact im thinking in the end this will turn out to be a combination of cheap crappy tires and a problem with the electronic power steering but then im also thinking it could turn out to be a driveshaft alignment thing too.

im a little surprised not to hear others here mentioning this problem as well but maybe we just don't have any other members who own the 2014 silverados

Not a truck person as I have very little need for one and I like getting 40 mpg combined.

Did your car come filled with saltine crackers?

A bit more fun than that and I have a 40.1 mpg average over the 45,000 miles I've logged. Admittedly mostly highway but also at 70mph. I love the manual transmission. Light clutch pedal and great gear selector. I like how just pushing forward from neutral selects 3rd and back selects fourth. Third is the gear you need when making right angle turns from a street and she'll cruise along at 30mph in top if the ground is level.

I hear ya. Honda does make good cars. They'll last a long time too, as long as you don't abuse them. The first GM dealer I worked for also sold Hondas and back then their Accords couldn't be produced fast enough to meet the demand for them. Many owners had to get on a waiting list for as long as six months.

I digress, back to Webster's troubles...

Without physically taking your truck for a test drive I can't really diagnose the problem with any degree of accuracy. I can spit out a laundry list as long as my arm of possible causes, but that won't help you much.

Hopefully you never see a problem like the one I found on a customer's new Caprice. He complained of a banging noise coming from the back of the car every time he made a turn. He wasted his time at six different dealers before bringing it to me. I took her out for a spin and sure enough there was a banging noise coming from the right quarter panel sail area. I pulled the car straight into the body shop and had them cut that section open with an air chisel and we found a glass Coke bottle dangling on a string tied to a nut in there. The bottle had been heated just enough to shove the nut down the neck. There was also a little note in there that read; "HA HA HA You finally found me!"

Assembly line work gets a tad boring I guess.
