I PURCHASED MY 2005 CHEVROLET 2500HD DURAMAX IN MAY OF 2015. A WEEK LATER I WAS PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING 10 OVER. MY TRUCK SHOWED I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH. I NOW HAVE A SPEEDING TICKET $114. I CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID MY VIN# WAS NOT QUALIFIED FOR THE RECALL AND I WOULD BE PAYING OUT OF POCKET ($535 INCLUDING LABOR). THE PART ALONE IS $350. NOW AT THE END OF THE DAY I WILL OWE $649 BECAUSE OF GM'S MISTAKE. I LOVE GM'S PRODUCTS, HOWEVER THEY DO NOT STAND UP TO THERE MISTAKES WHICH WILL MAKE ME THINK AGAIN BEFORE BUYING ONE. *TR

2005 DURAMAX DIESEL, 2500: APPROXIMATELY 10 - 11,000 MILES THE STEERING SHAFT WAS CAUSING PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP ONLY "LUBE KIT" VS. REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT TOO MANY VEHICLES NEEDED REPLACEMENT THEY STARTED ONLY REPLACING IF VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. ALSO, THE LUBE IS ONLY A BANDAID AND WILL NEED TO BE DONE OVER AND OVER THROUGH OUT TERM OF OPERATION OF VEHICLE. NOT SAFE IF LEFT UNLUBED. THIS TRUCK ALSO HAS STARTED EXCESSIVE VIBRATING [16,500 MILES] WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING AND THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, DRIVE BUT STOPPED VIA BRAKE; NEUTRAL AND BRAKE APPLIED. BRAKE BEING APPLIED INCREASES THE EXCESSIVE VIBRATION. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING IT. *JB
