I just added this link to dontbuyasilverado.com Thanks for sharing. I'm guessing most of the industry magazines won't say/do anything as GM spends a fortune with them. JD Power's Initial Quality award is the perfect indicator of marketing at it's best! Update on my truck - My 2016 is on it's third set of tires. Dealer is blaming the tires that I had installed and won't do anything. The tire specialty shop I went to, only does tires and has only done tires for 80 years. They offer no other services other than tire replacement. They Road Force Balanced the tires twice. The vibration is exactly the same as the stock tires and a set of aftermarket wheels/tires that I tried. The battle continues. Off to look at a new Ford or Toyota tomorrow evening. Seems like the best solution for the GM vibration issue is really another brand.

I would be driving a Tundra if the Toyota dealer wasn't well aware of the vibration issue. They had three 2014/2015 Silverados on their lot already. It's hard to disguise why you are trading in a truck with 4,000 miles on it. They weren't offering much for trade-in value. The journey continues.

Thank you. I thought they were live links. They are now.

Jesse - I included a link to your thread on the website I have just launched. Yahtzee - please PM the FB page and I'll include it on the website. Also, include the name of the magazine, that is writing the article, in the PM. I'll post it on my homepage.

The challenge is that there are so many different issues. Anything from differentials, to driveshafts, to u-joints, to shocks, to chassis issues, to tire/wheel issues. GM just doesn't have an answer. Unfortunately for those who have purchased the GMC equivalent vehicles, they have the issue and it apparently impacts the SUVs as well.

Will do! Yes. I just posted that my 2016 has the exact same vibration that my 2015 had. I also noted that I had to drive 6 trucks before we found one that didn't have the vibration. Unfortunately, after about 40 miles it had the exact same vibration and I'm stuck with it.

All, GM was great. They agreed to do a $5,000 trade in allowance on my 2015 Silverado 5.3 DoubleCab 4X4 LTZ. The truck had 4,000 miles on it and the vibration was unbelievable. It would make my wife car sick. I had to drive 6, yes 6, 2016s before we found one without a vibration. I ended up "eating" $7,000 to get into a 2016 but I felt it was worth it because I had a $48 (sticker price, not what I paid) truck that my wife couldn't drive in. 40 miles on the truck and it has the same nasty vibration from 70MPH and up. All the dealer wanted to do, was keep road-force balancing the tires. I thought it was ridiculous. Rather than wait weeks for an appointment, I paid $2600 for new aftermarket rims and tires and I'm stuck with the exact same vibration. I am now $10k into this mess. Do yourselves a favor and warn people. I have started this website as an attempt to protect others from buying a Silverado. It will take a couple of days before it is up. www.dontbuyasilverado.com
