| 1. poor ride, vibration, while driving at various speeds. mostly between 35 to 50 mph. had the problem with stock tires. replaced with after market tires, slightly larger. still had annoying vibration. to a point that i do not like to drive the vehicle! 2. fuel economy sucks! i upgraded from my '92 gmc pickup which gave me 12 to 14 mpg around town to 15 to 18 mpg on a trip; to my new chev. which is good for about 9.5 to 9.8 mpg around town and the best ever, on a trip was 13.4 mpg!!! 3. the bench-type seat is not adjustable to remove the vee feeling when driving. 4. the self-darkening mirrors are a hazard when trying to backup or change lanes! 5. the passenger front seatbelt locksup and can't be freed unless you unbuckle and reattach the belt, only to have it lockup again! i have had the vehicle back to two different dealers on three seperate occasions principally for the mileage and the very annoying vibration! i have contacted general motors, also with no success! i've changed tires, asked to have the transmission checked for the vibration, only to have seperate service managers tell me that it seems okay to me, and that there's nothing on the computer to indicate a problem! and you put bigger tires on the truck! you can't do that! i just celebrated (?!!!) my first anniversary with the truck and its been a miserable year!*ak | |||

| (1) na; (2) seat heater control switch location. easy/often inadvertant activation when operating window or mirror controls. activation is not noticed because the indicator lights do not face the driver. the first indication is when your butt starts to fry. attempts to deactivate the heater is dangerous because the indicator lights do not face the driver so you have to divert your attention from the road to operate the heater. i have run off the road several times trying to turn off the heater while driving. also, the seat heater gets too hot and presents a risk of burn injuiry or fire. (3) todate nothing.*ak | |||
