UPDATE: We have been waiting since 1/9/17 for the skipping/hesitation fix to tell if it's tied to the other two problems (booming and vibration). We brought our vehicle to,the dealer 3/20/17 and the field engineer was supposed to be there to repair all of our concerns. GM did not send a field engineer and the dealer only performed the computer reprogramming. Guess what? We still have the skipping and hesitation. My wife and I have had enough of this vehicle and GM. We looked at the 2018's online and to no surprise there is no change, except adding more gears to the transmission. GM has been stringing us along telling us they will help us since November 2016. I think that this is unacceptable customer service. It's time that GM listens to its customers and not the bean counters. We as customers make GM what it is today. SAD!! We have always had Tahoes and Yukons. What other manufacturers would you recommend? We don't need a third row. We have looked at several vehicles. My wife likes the BMW X5.

You are having the same problem as me. GM has got a bulletin out but no fix as of 1/09/2017. GM is aware of the problem. Keep after the dealer for the fix. I think it's a problem in the computer programming.

We had a 2016 Yukon had exhaust changed, roof rails fixed but that made it worse. We bought a 2017 Tahoe Premier and now we have the booming in the cab also have vibration through out the Tahoe. Complained to dealer about a surging/skipping problem when trying to go up hill dealer was close to telling us it was normal according to GM specs but then dealer checked and found GM put out a bulletin stating they are aware of the problem but do not have a fix as of 1/09/2017. The dealer will not try to fix the booming or vibration till GM gives them a repair for the skipping/hesitation/surging. The dealer said that this problem might be linked to my other issues. After many calls/emails to GM executive customer care they are supposedly going to send a field engineer out to look at my booming problem when they TRY to fix the skipping/etc problem.

Can you get pictures of where they placed the dampeners? Good news. I had GM customer care write to me on this post offering help to fix, odd I thought. Since executive told me that GM can not use this forum for diagnostic or decisions on problems. GM will definitely have to pay for the repair.

Well got the RF done and one tire needed to be turned. GM said they would pay for the RF as a customer goodwill. Got the word from GM that my noise "booming" is normal and they will not do anymore with it. Makes me feel really good to spend $72K on a vehicle and get no respect. If someone out there can figure out what these junk SUV's need i would love an answer. My problem and your problem is considered normal so we all have to live with the awesome noises these junks make. I only have 500 miles on it. The next step for me is to get the Part number for the exhaust dampers, then I have to find out where the vibration is coming from. I guess I'm on my own to fix my problem. If and when I do GM will have to pay.

Have you had the work done yet? GM seems to be dragging their feet with us on our Tahoe. Just cause I drove other ones and they all have this problem GM is saying that it's normal. I need to fix this pile of junk so my wife can drive it. As soon as you get some results please let me know. Thanks

2017 Tahoe Premier noise in cabin same as others Started by Duramaxman05, Nov 30 2016 12:01 PM

Do you have a part #? I put a vibration meter in and it was much worse in the back. We are still waiting to hear from the field rep.

I scheduled an appt. to have the RF done. I put a vibration meter in and it was much worse in the back. We are still waiting to hear from the field rep.

Dealer said that RF doesn't apply to me as my problem happens at slow speeds and certain bumps. My wife said it was there at test drive but her ears are more sensitive than mine. Plus I was more interested in listening for the V4 mode to see if this 17 Tahoe had the buffeting (which it does not).

I have been reading all the posts about noise in the cabin and the V4 buffeting. We had a 2016 Yukon SLT with all the booming/buffeting noises and had GM do the trade asssist. We then bought a 2017 Tahoe Premier, had the dealer take the 22" tires off as they were hard to steer and made noise. The dealer put on 20" and it made a big difference. The problem we have now is at low speeds and somewhat bumpy roads the booming in the cabin drives my wife crazy. I was following Fogducker thread and he had weights added to his exhaust. I mentioned it to the dealer but he had no idea which to order and if it would work. We drove a Tahoe LT with 18" tires (same noise) then drove a GMC Denali 6.2 with noise cancellation (same noise). We only have 400 miles on it and the wife refuses to drive it and wants to get rid of it. We got rid of our 2007 Tahoe LT for this one. Can anyone help with this issue? I would like to try the exhaust dampeners if anyone has the right Part numbers.
