FOURKNUCKLES

Well, call me crazy, but we bought another one. Same issues, but this is literally the only vehicle that can fit my family comfortably. The dealership did the road force balance and added the extra "sealing" to the head liner, but still the same issues. We, as a family, have just learned to deal with it. The kids keep head phones on, and I keep the music cranked up. Maybe the booming is causing me to go insane and thats why we bought another one. The 1st one we bought was a GMC Yukon XL SLT with 20" wheels. This time we bought the Chevy Suburban LTZ with 22" wheels. There is no difference in the sound, my opinion only. All the trucks have this issue. We drove numerous models from all three (Caddy, Chevy, GMC). The dealership wanted to keep trying things, but I told them NO, and we picked it back up. They did however note on the paperwork that the truck was not fixed, but that the customer wanted it back.

This is why I don't have Facebook. Childish comments that have zero relevance to the topic. Enough. Most of us really want this to be resolved, and opinions will not get anything it done. We are expecting our 2016 to be ready next month. My family is hopeful that the info regarding the duramat is the ticket to happiness.

Wanted give an update. I have test drove the latest Cadillac, Suburban and Yukon. All with the intermin model build, all have the same noise. It sounds like a window is down. Some are worse than others, but they all have it. We almost bought a new Yukon XL last weekend, but we backed out. The vehicle is so nice and fits my family of 6, but I just can't get past the feeling in my head. Crazy that we would even consider doing it all over again, but the truck is perfect, other than the pressure. As of now, they have not fixed the issue, or have a fix in the works. Does anyone have an inside track on when the 2016's come out?

They repurchased mine. It was not a wind flex issue. I saw the amount of material they used on my liner. Tubes of glue and more supports and it didn't change a thing.

So what are the chances of someone unhooking all the power and towing the vehicle down the road while sitting inside. That would at least narrow it down. Either electrical or mechanical.

So I guess I need someone to tell me its all in my head. The reason we pursued the buy back from GM was because of the headaches and pressure we (my wife and 4 kids) were experiencing. I drove my Yukon XL daily, and they were in it on the weekends. I still have daily headaches and pressure. After seeing the doctor several times, 2 hits of different antibiotics, the doctor wants me to have an MRI. Thought it was sinus issues, but they ruled that out. I'm 33 and never have had any issues in the past. I am hoping this is pure coincidence. Has anyone else had the vehicle bought back, and still suffer from these symptoms?

Hey first timeGmbuyer: Well I showed up with a local TV station (my brother works there), and they have this segment called " Turn to 2" . When they realized the camera people were there to film and ask questions, the process sped up. Call the BBB and the States Attorney Genral and file a formal complaint. It's cheaper for GM to buy your vehicle back versus bad plublicy. They have money set aside for these instances. Chump change in other words. They would rather you go away, but would be more than happy to just take the vehicle back. Make sure to start a new service ticket every time you take the vehicle. I took the vehicle back home knowing it was still broken but it forced then to start a new ticket. In ohio, three strikes your out in the lemon law. I was at 8 and they just bought it back because they knew I would have smoked then in court.

A car. There was nothing comparable and if there was, it would have been for a 36 month lease. Disappointing. It's like when Americans complain about manufacturing jobs in the US, but still do all there shopping at Walmart, king of China. Same thing here. We all complain about this, but still purchase the vehicle and we force nobody's hand.

Well, signed a 24 month short term lease. Ugh! I really want my Yukon XL back. Sad that I miss it, even with the pressure/noise issue. If I didnt have four kids, I would have kept the truck and just rode around with my ear plugs I use when I go shooting. I guess the only thing I can look forward to is the possible 10 speed transmission for the 2017 model. Yay.

Those are some of the PMs from GM. Nothing helpful. Eventually, they will always tell you to take it to the dealership. I am on a 24 hr test drive right now with a 2015 LTZ. Nice truck. Same noise. We drove a Cadillac esv. Same issue. We drove a 2015i Denali. Same issue. We drove a 2015 expedition platinum. No issue but not nearly as nice. The past week all I have done is test drive vehicles and every single dealer I spoke with said that this was the first they had heard of this. So either the problem is not as bad as we all think it is, or they are covering there butts. Literally don't know what to do at this point. ( I am screaming inside with frustration)

andymac...... nice note. GM Customer Service, cat got your tongue? Or can you not respond because you just drove a 2015 YUKON and your feeling nauseous? As the creator of this thread, if there was a way to block future comments from you (GM Customer Service), I would. Until you have some meaningful info to pass along, keep your "approved" responses to yourselves. Not only are they silly, they make you look uneducated. I am really hoping you know more than you are leading on. I want to buy another one, and as it seems now, the people on this thread want the issue to be fixed more than GM. We (the guests who have posted) have done more R&D than you. Although the Ford Expedition L is no where near as nice as the YUKON XL, it's looking and sounding better everyday.

http://cfaa.autoremarketers.com/web/commerce/Item.aspx?ListingId=8887618&EventId=110505 Link above is my vehicle. Sold at auction on 11-11-14. Not sure what it means, but GMC is still making money off a vehicle that has issues.....

As mentioned before, I am sure that it is the v4 to v8 transition. The tech who drove with me, explianed that he thought it was the problem as well, but his hands were tied. We would have kept the vehicle had my kids not refused to ride in it because of the headaches. I'm buying another one once we test drive one with the pressure issue resolved. Sure there are other issues, but this thread was created because of the pressure issue. All new vehicles will have soemthing that someone isn't pleased with. I get that. But when it casues medical concerns, then GMC needs to address it nationwide and correct it. Knocking and minimal cabin noises are just annoying, not something that GMC should worry to much about. The reason this post was started : solely because it was affecting my day to day functioning as a human. A person can only pop so many asprin before we break and "force" a buy back.

Lemon Law is completely different than a buy back. Lemon Law means that the car is defective and that would need to be disclosed. A buy back, is a buy back. I went over this with the dealer when they were hesitant to buy mine back. Once I stated that I knew the law, and that I would be filing a claim, presto, a buy back was offered. They did ask if I had legal representation. If you tell them yes, they will stop working on the vehicle, and everything will go through GM and the attorney. I assume profits are up because of the hap hazard way these new trucks are being produced.

So, as I mentioned before, they bought mine back. The sheet metal was never really noted. The main reason for the noise/pressue, and I agreed, was when it went from V4 mode to V8 mode. In V4 mode, it was amplified. The pressure we felt was most notable when the engine went into V4 mode. I challenge anyone having the same issue, to monitor the transition from V8 to V4. I bet you will agree that it is much worse when at low speeds (30-45MPH) and in V4 mode. Watch the screen and wait for the pressure. And, since they have taken my Yukon back, the headaches are GONE.

Finally turned my Yukon XL back in today. Simple process, turning it in, not the whole debacle I had to go through to get to this point. The owner of the dealership handled the paper work. He checked the car out for damage, took the two key fobs, shook hands and gave me a check from GM. I received the down payment and then a single payment back. I asked for the other payments but they said no go. I would have held out or did the lemon law had it not been for the pounding headaches that my wife and myself have encountered each time we ride in the car. As I said before, best car ever. But I am not making the headaches up. It was legitalmatly effecting me. I'm in sales and drive a lot. This is a health concern. I hope to buy a 2016 if it's fixed, but GM needs to fix this problem ASAP. Long term, it could really become an issue for someone who spends hours at a time in the vehicle. We took it to a Bengals game, and everyone of the six passengers commented on how nice the car was, but that we would never be taking it on a road trip again. I'm not crazy if everyone who rides in the car complains. Has anyone had any of the same noise issues out of the new Escalades? Just curious.

I turn my vehicle back in on Tuesday. They gave me my down payment back and a monthly payment. We plan on buying another one next year, after we test drive it 1st. Good luck to everyone else having the same issue.

I have the YUKON XL back from an extended stay at the dealership. The GM engineer said it is fixed, so I am relieved that the dealership does NOT agree with that. The sound is still there, and at times, worse. My dealership went to bat for me, and that's why GM is now buying the vehicle back. We are told that the "new" ones are fixed, so we will wait a few months in hopes that really is the case. Best car I have ever had, except for the noise.

Ok, so they replaced the drive shaft yesterday. I went and drove it with the GM rep that came in, and the noise was still present. She agreed that she heard it. I left the vehicle overnight, because they had an engineer coming in with a "peco" (not sure that's correct) device to test the drive shaft. I just called the dealer, and they said the vehicle is fixed. He said the only noise is the "normal" sound from shifting from V4 to V8. Sounds suspicious to me, but I am cautiously optimistic. I am picking the vehicle back up around 11, and will update then.

Dealership called and said the replacing of the drive shaft did not fix the issue. Shocker. They have another engineer coming tomorrow, but I picking the Yukon up tonight so they have to start another service ticket. The dealership says that GM needs to buy it back, GM says the dealership makes that decision. Anybody know who's call it is? I defiantly feel like the little guy up against corporate America. I am about to wrap my truck with pictures of lemons and GM logos with a message that says " call me before you spend $67k on a Yukon.

They pulled my roof as well. It did not fix anything. It made a huge mess and now it rattles. They did show me that they added insulation, but it did not fix the problem with the noise.

Called the dealership to schedule the installation of the drive shaft. They said that this will fix the issue. They also said that about the head liner removal and re-insulating the top of the vehicle, which did nothing except leave grease stains and loose seat belts. I will update once they replace the part. Anybody else already have the replacement??
