My clunking and creaking drivers seat is fixed!!!!!! Per one of the previous posts, I ordered GM 13405675 RETAINER-F/SEAT CUSH LATL ADJR off Amazon for $6.13. There was already a clip under the seat on the bar on the door side of the under-seat but none on the section of the bar closest to the interior part of the car. While I did not have to alter the new clip, it was a bit tricky getting it on the bar because of some metal tubing near the bar. But I eventually clipped it on, zip tied it and prayed! It totally worked. Pretty sad that I fixed it myself for $6 and the dealership couldn't fix it the 4 times I had my 2016 Yukon in the shop!!!!

Same issue with my 2016 Yukon. Seat creaks when going around corners. So annoying. Already did the one service bulletin replacing clips and such and lubing. Noise came back after a few months. Took it back, re-lubed...noise is slowly returning. . took it back for the 3rd time, replacing seat cover and mount...we shall see if it works. Warranty up in 200 miles They said they will not continue to fix under warranty (even if the problem continues) because the seat is considered "trim" and that is not covered out of warranty even if the issue existed prior to warranty running out

Took my Yukon in for a rattle in the back window and drove a 2017 Denali. It 100% had the booming/buffeting sound while in V4. I still have a love hate relationship with my Yukon. Love it for its looks and capacity but HATE the build of the truck.... My issues still are present with no available fixes in sight..... 1) Booming and Buffeting still occurring after all the "fixes". 2) Rough idle 3) VERY Rough acceleration ( the dealership told me to use premium top tier fuel...uggggg) 4) Slight shaking at speeds above 70 Thanks all I can think of right now. Lesson learned, I will NEVER buy another vehicle without doing my research. (This is my 4th Yukon and never thought I would have this many issues that "can't be fixed"

Basically the same as yours. Buffeting from 25-55 while the Yukon maintains it's current speed while in v4 mode. The second it goes to V8 the awful buffeting/pressure goes away for the most part

I had my exhaust replaced 2 x's. Engine mounts replaced. Roof checked. Nothing solved my buffeting issue. They offered to make a car payment for me and told me there was nothing else that they could do for me. I don't not have the time to do all the leg work for a lemon law. I have to drive with my Yukon in manual to prevent myself from feeling sick from the buffeting. $65k for a truck that I can not drive they way it was meant to be driven. So basically GM beat me down and won.

My Yukon has never had a physical vibration issue. It has the severe buffeting, ear pressure issue when in v4 mode. I just always drive in M now. Annoying and lessons my MPG, but it somewhat makes the sensation tolerable.

Do you by any chance have the part # or service bulletin for the exhaust they put on your yukon? They did this "modified exhaust(23385911) and new muffler(03701-ct) per new bulletin PIT 5404B" to mine. Fixed it for several weeks but buffeting came back Wondering if there is a 3rd exhaust now?

Such a hard decision. I didn't even look at any other vehicles prior to buying my Yukon. I just knew I wanted back in a Yukon and didn't do any research since I didn't have any issues with my other 3. If I had to do it all over again, I would look into the Infinity QX80 or Lincoln. I've had a Ford Flex in the past, while the interior room was great, the fit and finish was lacking. I'm the cool Mom that carts around my kids and all their friends, so I need a 6 or 7 passenger vehicle. Not many options out there without feeling like sardines.

Gents? Don't forget about us ladies on here I may be the only one though. I too have been loyal to GM, this being my 4th Yukon. Sadly, it may be my last. Wish I would have researched issues with this Yukon prior to purchasing. If I would have found this thread before delivery, you bet I would have NEVER purchased this vehicle.

Yep... I got confirmation from my service manager that the couple 2017's he has driven still have the buffeting issue. I guess GM didn't get the memo that these vehicles are AWFUL!

Good decision! You wouldnt want to be going through what we all are. And I got confirmation from my service manager that the couple 2017's he has driven still have the buffeting issue.

I don't have a physical vibration when my Yukon goes into V4. I have the intense pressure/buffeting when it goes into v4 and stays there. I also have the booming at slower speeds when on slightly uneven pavement.

This was me. I have had 2 separate exhaust systems place on my truck. The last one fixed the buffeting issue for ohhh about 2 weeks, then the noise slowly came back.

I'd gladly save $200 by taking the 10th of a second that it takes to put it in manual.

Would you kindly explain why the range technology works better than just manually putting it in manual? I'd rather not spend $200 on putting an after market part on.

What is "Range Technology"?

Good morning everyone. I picked up my Yukon on Friday with bad news. After the last exhaust fix and engine mounts GM has no other fixes currently available. I will say my truck is somewhat better after everything they have done to it. (you can read my prior posts to see what they have done). I road with a GM field rep for 15 or so minutes and she heard the buffeting when speeds were maintained and the vehicle was in V4 mode. However when they road in it again the same day with another field engineer and the PicoScope(measures sound) the PicoScope registered the vehicle within normal range.What I think happened during this test drive is the rep didn't maintain the speed long enough for the machine to register the sound for a long enough time for it to register. So basically they can't do anything else for me. They offered to make a car payment for me. While that is a nice gesture, it doesn't fix my Yukon. ******There is a workaround to prevent the noise from happening and it works 100% for the buffeting noise). The booming over bumps is something that won't change and I guess I will have to get used to. Here is what you can do to band-aid the buffeting issue......... When you turn your vehicle on. Shit from P or M ( This shifts to manual). Press the "+" button on the gear shift until the info screen reads "M5". If you are planning on going over 60 MPH, place it in "M6". And drive along your merry way(it will shift like normal in the manual mode). This prevents the vehicle from going into the dreaded V4 mode. Yes I am loosing some MPG, but I have no more buffeting issue. I am well aware that I should not have to go through all this trouble to drive my $65,000 vehicle, but I am willing to do it for now as I have too much going on in my life to take on the Lemon Law process. So I guess General Motors beat me down...they won.

Outside mirrors??? This makes me laugh. I think they are really pulling at strings at this point. I took my Yukon BACK to the dealership and road with a GM Field rep again yesterday. They told me to come back today to get my car and that I needed to speak with the service manager. Doesn't sound like good news to me. I will keep everyone up to date on what they say to me.

Yes, I still have the booming while traveling at lower speeds over roads that are not smooth.

I think my yukon was one of the 1st with the new exhaust, fixed the buffeting issue for less than a month then it slowly crept back.

The roof was never an issue with my Yukon. That was the 1st thing that was inspected.

Ok everyone. I guess I have to be the Mom in the group ;) Let's try to get along, share our experiences with the dealerships and try to get this problem fixed. We are all here to help one another, not to berate each other.

Consider yourself a lucky one!!!!!!!!! Thanks for rubbing it in ;)

Demand that you would like a GM Field rep to access your Yukon.

WOW..what a nightmare you went through. I suppose they make it so difficult because they are hoping to beat people down so they give up. I have another meeting with a GM Field rep on November 17th. I am waiting for the 2017's to be delivered to see if the noise is present in those.
