Doing very well now that mine has been repurchased.

No clue. All I know is that my wheels looked like they had a "hop" to them while spinning but were verified to be true and well within RF specs.

I believe the problem is with the axle studs. Lift your truck in the air (jackstands and all) and watch your rear wheels very carefully. I don't believe the axle studs are in proper alignment. It's almost as if they are drilled just a couple mm off center and that is why the entire rear axle replacement usually solves the vibration issue. If wheels are true, and tires are balanced the axle studs have to be off center to cause vibrations. (My truck was ultimately bought back under FL Lemon Law, but I did lift the rear and my wheels looked like they were out of round when they were spinning. Verified by local tire shop and dealer wheels were true and minimal road force balance.)

BBB granted my repurchase. 3 visits, 4th and final repair, and an attempt AFTER the 4th visit. 52 total days out of service. The process was smooth, and easy but it took a while to get to this point.

GM Representative said he would think about repurchasing my truck if it still vibrated after the 4th and final attempt. I brought it in for it's 5th visit (and for him to see that it still vibrated) and on that visit they replaced the rear shocks and said it was good. So after the 5th visit the GM Rep said they would only do a trade and will not repurchase the truck (conversation between myself and the GM Resolutions Management Team via phone). Now that I have exhausted all avenues attempting to have GM repurchase my truck in good faith I have filled out my BBB Auto Line claim (04/18/2016). Will provide more status updates as they come.

GM's Resolution Management Team wants to see proof my truck still vibrates after the 4th and final attempt so I have an appointment scheduled for this Monday (04/11/2016). I requested a buy back directly from GM so we will see if that happens or if we have to go all the way through the Lemon Law process (my truck qualifies under FL Lemon Law, it's been out of service for 30+ days AND 3 repair attempts with the official final repair attempt from GM). Hopefully I'll be able to update you all soon with a good outcome.

Nobody wants to deal with the hassle, but I'll be damned if I'm taking a loss on my truck. Per FL Lemon Law my truck qualifies not only by the 30 cumulative days, but also the 4th and final repair letter was sent and is now complete. It has taken a while, but if GM does not offer to repurchase I will go through BBB Arbitration and I'm almost certain per FL law GM will have to repurchase my truck. The consumer has the right to chose repurchase or replacement (at least in FL).

I think that's what the majority of people settle for and don't go through the whole process.

For those of you trading your vibrating trucks in, why not go through the buy back process and not lose thousands during a trade?

Harry gave me the news today... Since my truck STILL vibrates and is on it's 4th and final attempt he has ordered some special tires.

Dropped the truck off at the dealer for the 4th and final repair attempt. Truck also has 30+ days in service over the previous 3 repair vistis. Truck was purchased new in late November 2015 and today is March 22, 2016.

Finally got my final repair attempt scheduled. It's about 2 weeks from now.

Got the truck back today with dealer provided upgraded wheels and tires w/ a new drive shaft too. It has been there since 01/27/2016 and today is 03/02/2016. Guess what?!?! NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!! Still vibrates. I sent my final attempt repair letter 02/29/2016 so I will not be taking it back to the dealer until GM responds with where they want to make this final attempt. However, the truck is going to sit until that time because I refuse to drive it because if GM has not been able to correct the problem, how can one deem it safe to drive?

From the previous cases in FL for "collateral charges" people have been reimbursed for wheels, tires, custom tool boxes fitted to the vehicles, tint and other things. There was actually a case where a Rolls Royce was determined to be a lemon and the customer recouped $8k back for his wheels. The BBB did not allow charge for the tires though. The manufacturer stated they were "oversized wheels" and should not be responsible, however, BBB determined the wheels were an appropriate charge. Im going to assume the customer got a lot of use out of the tires hence the charge not being allowed.
