new tahoe shakes

[handstr]

i bought a new car last year and ever since i purchase it the tahoe has shaken like a tire was unbalanced. finally the service guy today said yes i see a problem but there is nothing we can do until it gets worse.. its not tires bc they have force balanced them to death and it always at interstate speed. so i have to keep driving and complaining everytime i get it serviced but nothing ever gets fixed. has anyone ever had this problem. its a 12 ltz

thanks

Wait so the tech said he knows what's wrong then why can't he fix it until it gets worse?

Good luck with that. Is it an LTZ? Our suburban had a vibration problem, we ended up getting rid of it because it wasn't worth the vibration. Thankfully our Tahoe now does not have that problem.

I've been in many GMT-900 tahoes avalanches and pickups, 1500 and 2500's a lot of them have a little shake/shimmy right around 70mph +/-. My Tahoe did it and my suburban does it too...multiple balances and still there. I am trying to find some time to drop the driveshaft and replace the u-joints and have it balanced as well.

I agree with the 70mph shake, I think they all do that little one.

OP have you tried a tire shop road force balance?? If not, just give it a shot and explain to them your troubles.

x 2 ... what did he say was wrong with it?

you might just need new tires bro… once in a while you'll see tires that you just can't balance, usually due to the belts inside shifting. It sucks, but I'm pretty sure most tire companies have a warranty on this kinda stuff. Like unless you've bent a rim on a curb or huge pothole then your rim should be straight, meaning your tires are to blame…

I don't have any shaking at 80-90.
