Legal Notice: Statutory Remedies vs. Discretionary Goodwill Policies ▼
Important Notice Regarding Recall Gaps & Dealership Goodwill Requests

Statutory vs. Discretionary Remedies: Because your vehicle model year is currently excluded from official NHTSA campaign 16V256000, authorized dealerships are not legally mandated under federal law (49 U.S.C. Section 30120) to perform free recall repairs on your vehicle.

Discretionary Goodwill Policies: The Goodwill Reference Packet generated below compiles public NHTSA safety records to assist you in requesting a voluntary, discretionary warranty adjustment from your dealership service director or manufacturer customer care division. Goodwill assistance is not an entitlement, is not guaranteed, and is granted solely at the discretion of the manufacturer and dealership based on vehicle age, mileage, and brand loyalty.

VEHICLE VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, TO THE POINT THAT IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE. IT IS ESPECIALLY STRONG AT APPROXIMATELY 74 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY CHEVROLET DEALER FOUR TIMES AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED. THE DEALER REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES, MATCH BALANCED THE TIRES THREE TIMES, AND TURNED THE BRAKE ROTORS. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT THE VIBRATION IS DUE TO THE NEW SUSPENSION DESIGN. I FOUND A GM BULLETIN, #PI1354C, THAT OUTLINES A SPECIFIC PROCEDURE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE DEALER DID NOT FOLLOW IT.
