    Does this mean we should call them Government motors again? It's not like neither GM nor the government can get anything fixed and working properly. hahaha sorry had to make that joke, GM should be embarrassed with the quality of this crap they are putting out, and their own ability to fix the problems.

    how is it now that its a day later? good luck! I'm looking forward to any results you get, I do love my truck... other than the issues of course, I would love to have them fixed

    Thats really unfortunate, I'm going to try to get to some nice straight aways tomorrow to do a little testing on mine, Today I noticed that when I was trying to cruise on the highway at about 45-55 MPH the whole cab was shaking, and in a different manner than I previously noticed when the AFM kicks on and off. I also had it happening when trying to do a hard acceleration from the range of 35-50 MPH. Once I got up to 60-70 there was a slight vibration left in the steering wheel, but nothing like those previously mentioned. I can't even begin to say how disappointed I am in this truck. I have already gotten the "cant replicate" for both the radio and the shaking, yet I now have it going back again for both of them, If they aren't resolved this time, which I know they wont be, I'm going to look into asserting the Lemon Law with it, and if they tell me I can't, I'm going to look into trading it in. Gotta agree with you there, and I can't help but notice that you have taken down the picture of your truck... Are you getting rid of it? I can't say I'm a fan of this whole "guinnea pig" mode as you call it. You had said that you also run service on Ram, if you are getting rid of the Chevy, what will your replacement be and why? I just feel that when you pay this much for something, it should be working properly, and we shouldn't be getting the "thats just the way it is" bullsh*t"

    doesn't this make you miss the old cars where there wasn't all these electronics to screw things up? ohh and I feel like this is a load of... well you know

    hmmm interesting, seems a little fraudulent to me... even is V6 mode, there is a very slight shake
  7. Jesse Davidson
    hmmm, if you don't mind me asking, where did you find this? I can't specifically say that I have noticed any increase in vibration during turns as it always vibrates, but I also haven't been looking for it., I have pretty much come to the conclusion that it's always going to vibrate. I'll pay more attention to it when on the highway tomorrow to see if I notice it increase during turning.

    Thats too bad about the truck, I love the Rally Edition, it looks awesome. but atleast your lemon law is still covering you, up here in MA, its only good for 1 year/ 15,000 miles, but if your issue was being worked on within that period, you can still file after that is up. Unfortunately yes, I have been seeing alot about the radio. Yesterday was TERRIBLE for mine, I couldn't even pick up any FM stations, they were all static. today was a little better, I could pick them up, but was loosing part of the audio on every station, some I was loosing mids and highs, others I was loosing bass and only getting mids and highs. I'm almost certain its the signal processing in the radio, I'm going to call my dealer in a little while to get it back in. I'm just going to ask them to replace the whole unit, wiring, and antenna to see if that eliminates it, my truck is one of the first ones produced for the 2015 model year, and supposedly the newer radio units are a little better. If this doesn't work, I'll know for certain that it's the processing in the units themselves, and I'll try to get them to put in a direct fit aftermarket unit from alpine, which they designed to integrate with onstar, vehicle diagnostics, and steering wheel controls. but that is probably a long shot. GM will probably just keep swapping it out for their own radios . It's only gong to keep costing them more and more money. guess I'll know sooner or later haha.

    d*mn, hearing your troubles is really making me want to get rid of mine ASAP. whatever the service center did when they were checking out my radio last Thursday made it way worse, the two stations that I listen to most barely come in now, and I can't even listen to them, and my phone isn't much better. I have been more "around town" driving the last few days and am noticing a very slight constant shake in the steering wheel. I can't believe all the problems you've had, I really hope it all works out for you. With that many issues, I hope they give you a refund, unfortunately you are past the point for lemon law in most states, or I would say to go for that. I wonder if you could get your service center to put pressure on the gm rep or something more than just another repair? Or maybe here is some sort of special circumstances exemption you can get for the lemon law. I don't know, I wish I could help a little more.

    Yea I hear ya Ego, so from what I'm gathering from the qc comment on the ram and gm is to go with ford. I do love the tech in the Ram, but I'd rather have a functional truck without issues, plus I can always swap gear out if I have to. I have to say, I'm kinda surprised with that comment re: Ram, I was under the impression that since Fiat bought them, they were far improved in that area. Now since you have a chevy dealer with your group, what if any is the repair history/ issues with the later model corvettes? I only ask because my dad is looking at possibly getting one, and I'd hate for him to have issues like I'm seeing with the trucks and SUV's. Bdkfl, I'm not too surprised that they mentioned that a larger rim/tire with a more aggressive tread would cause some difference in the ride. louder with a slightly rougher ride yes, I would agree/ understand that one. Shaking/ shuddering absolutely not, I'm pissed that they havn't figured out how to fix any of these issues yet. do you have the radio issues too? GM should make a deal with alpine who makes a direct fit for the screen, and had integration for onstar, vehicle diagnostics, and steering wheel controls. yes it will cost them money, but they wont have to deal with us anymore, wont have to spend more time trying to figure out how to fix it, and wont have to keep paying for the warranty claim every time we bring our truck in for it.

    Of course, mine s the V6 model haha, it definitely is not slight by any means, you can visibly see the steering wheel shudder left and right when it does it. I'll try to get a video of it so people can see just how bad it is. even with this, they still havnt fixed my radio. what ram do you have? I was looking at the ecodiesel as a possible replacement, I know they have their own faults, but supposedly they fixed the exhaust in the cab issue, and Iv'e seen very few other reports of issues, a few where the engine basically dies and wont start. allegedly there was a wiring harness crossed and that was the problem. but thats only one of the cases. Whats your experience with the ram?
  12. Jesse Davidson
    yea, so yours is different than mine, from what I've read, that is supposed to have something to do with the rear differential, the shaking mine has is in the steerng wheel and brakes, and at idle predominantly in V4 mode and when the deactivation kicks on or off
  13. Jesse Davidson
    mine aren't aftermarket, but they are the 22" option and they did to a point. they said they are aware of the problem, and that everyone is complaining about it, but it's normal for these trucks and there is nothing they can do. they claim its just how the cylinder deactivation acts. I don't know if your shake is from the deactivation or not though. From what I'm told there is another issue with a constant shake that is believed to be from the rear differential.

    not to be rude, but whether or not they took a loss doesn't matter to me, only thing that matters is the value and the selling price. as far as not selling, in Massachusetts, they are legally obligated to sell at the advertised price, trust me, they tried to get out of it, and it took the threat of public humiliation and legal action to get them to do it. I don't know whether or not they lost money, but thats just how it is

    Well it looks like I'm regretting buying my 2015 Silverado two weeks ago, I just joined this forum today and lucky me, I have all the same issues everyone else does. My other two posts are in the radio reception area. I used to install home theater, and own some of the best speakers in the world, and they are trying to tell me that the radio in the truck has nothing wrong with it... yea right. The thing I have noticed with the shaking is that it is on the cylinder deactivation, and it is far more prominent at highway speed than local "around town" driving. has anyone else noticed this or do you all have it all the time? and does it get worse as time goes on? My truck came straight off the show room floor, so I didn't actually drive the one I bought, I have driven and been in so many others with none have been anywhere near as bad as mine has turned out to be. I would have said excessive road force in the tires could have been an issue, but for this many people, thats not going to be it. looks like I may be getting rid of my brand new truck and going back to the blue oval or the shiny animal... very disappointed with this truck, atleast I got a crazy deal and will actually make money trading it in.
