2018 LT 1500 Double Cab 10k miles. I needed a truck for my personal use. And yes I should have read more reviews before buying this truck a couple of weeks ago and spent more time test driving it. It does the Chevy shake between 64-74 mph. And yes the trans shifts jerky and clunky. And yes the under body frame,rear axle and rear end housing are almost 100% rust covered, And yes the gas pedal pushes very hard. And yes according to a lot of reviews the GM dealers have no fixes for these problems which are normal they say? Really GM??? these trucks have had these known problems for 4 or 5 years now and your GM dealers jerk your customers around with no fixes! I hope your new 2019 trucks does not have these problems any longer.I will never know since you have lost a loyal GM customer!!

Bought new, from day one transmission is jerky, fish biting at low speeds. Seems confused on what gear to be in. Truck shakes over 70 mph (thought they fixed the Chevy shake?). Starter broke at 34,000 miles...towed from driveway in the middle of summer. Everyone I know that has one of these trucks has had their starter fail...or AC condensers. I have some oil consumption too. On the plus side my paint isn’t chipping. Downside, my frame had rust on it before I even got the thing home (remedied by undercoating it). I do get great gas mileage...I’ve also had misfire codes and probably will be replacing injectors soon (it’s a “thing” with these trucks). It is quiet inside, it is smooth for a truck. I do like the power. I want to love it, but I’m starting to wonder if this was a mistake. 46,000 miles now, mostly highway. Not sure if I’m going to keep this thing. Update**** Traded it in with 52,000 miles. Misfire going up hills persisted, called the dealer, to diagnose it wasn’t covered under warranty. And fuel injectors - if that were the problem - wouldn’t be covered anyway. Really didn’t think the transmission in this truck was going to last much longer, with all the up and down, in and out of torque converter clutch, it does because of the AFM system. So my journey ended at 52,000 miles. Don’t regret it either way (buying or selling it). But yeah, if you want better reliability, but bad gas mileage, buy a Tundra. But you’ll pay more up front for the Tundra, a lot more, so in the grand scheme of things the Chevy is probably the better buy. Edit — Traded it in a 50,000 miles. It needed either injectors or a transmission. Babies since day one and extremely well maintained. Disappointing

Super Vibration at 66 to 74 mph

Truck has 10,500 miles on it and been in the shop 2 time for Violent Vibration from 66 to 75. First trip to the shop they replaced two tires at8000 miles and the second time it hit the shop they claimed the front were out of balance and re balanced them at 10,000 miles. It goes in Friday for 2 more new tires and they did a road test and when they did he explained to me they pulled to the side of the road once the tires were hot and dropped the pressure to the 35 specked on the inside of the door. So they did the test with it at hot 35 and claimed it was a good test and that they need to replace 2 more tires. They all must think owners are stupid. Cold tire pressure of 35 will only be 35 if you don't drive it. Bottom line 10,500 mile with 4 new tires and the problem will be temporary fixed until it gets driven. Bad tires are bad tires . You don't fix bad tires by putting more bad tires on it. Very dissatisfied with Chevy after driving Chevy for most of my life I will probably buy a Dodge next time.

I've been leasing this truck for almost 3 years now. I had the intention of buying after, which I'm still on the fence about. Over the past 3 years I have had zero issues with the truck. It has run great, it isn't the smoothest drive but it's not as pronounced as some will say it is. Only recently when I hit 40k miles did the starter start having a pronounced intermittent issue. The battery is good, but when I go to start it you will hear the flywheel spin and try to engage, but it just clicks and won't start. Lately, it's been like spinning a roulette wheel. Some days it will start right up with no issues, and then later the same day I'll be stranded for 20-30 minutes trying to get it to crank. I plan on calling the dealer about it this week, but I am pretty disappointed that the starter seems to be failing after only 40k miles and of course right at the end of my lease.
