I bought a '15 Silverado that was identically equipped to the Sierra that I road tested and walked away from . No shudder on the Silverado. If it starts doing it, I'll disable the AFM.

My '14 Camaro did that. Turned the car off and restarted it. Fixed. Same thing with drivers power window. Wouldn't move. Shut the car off and restart and it was fine. Weird stuff.

So, just for shits and giggles, I look up how many used Double (extended) cab or Crew cab 2014-2015 trucks are on the market on Cars.Com . All major brands. (I weeded out the Regular cabs, since Uhaul and other Fleet buyers blow through a big load of 1/2 ton Regular cabs every year.) 9100 Chevy trucks of various trim levels- either double cab or crew cab (2014-2015) 3700 GMCs either double cab or crew cab (2014-2015) So that makes 12,800 used Crew or Double cab GM trucks sitting there used because the owner either traded in, lease was done, or whatever...... 2014-2015 Super cab or Crew cab Ford F150? Approx 8300 used sitting on lots. 2014-2015 Same thing in a Ram? Approx. 8700 And same flavor in a Toyota? 2000 of them.

When I was having problems with my Sierra with the frame coating peeling , the CARFAX listed "inspections" and "serviced" when the truck was traded in and hit the used lot. Some other poor sap ended up with a " beautiful like new " Sierra - raining rust from underneath. If you are buying low mile used- best to ask for the dealer service report on what was actually done.

Just road tested a new 2015 Sierra that has the V6 setup (double cab). Sure enough, at 50 mph , she started to shudder. Needless to say, the test drive ended soon after that and I came home in my old ride. You'd think these folks would get their act together already.

Sad to see my rusty-framed 2011 GMC Sierra customer complaint was never really dealt with properly for this next generation of trucks. My 2014 sits on a clean set of frame rails- still . I must have gotten lucky this time around I mean, it is pretty obvious all of the dipped frames aren't prepped right. At all three frame plants. Yet, here we still are.

The 6 speed in mine is a slushbucket of surprises. Why don't they get that one right, then worry about throwing in two more gears?

Crank windows here ! At least easy to reach on this truck. (power locks and cruise control) .

Extra 500 bucks for the G5 trade and 1000 Private Offer made this happen.

I'm going truck shopping in the morning. I'll let you know how many have fogged lenses in the dealer's lot. Most have been sitting their a long time.

The dealer I've been talking to has two in stock, one double cab and a regular cab longbed. The longbed is an earlier build. HE shot me a great price on the double cab and really wants my trade ('13 Camaro) We'll see.

Is there a range of VINs or build dates that have the no start problem, or is it pretty much a luck of the draw when it comes to picking out a truck thats already on a lot?

Figured I'd go back , give GM another chance at my business, and planned on buying a '14 W/T this week. I'll put myself in standby mode until this issue is figured out. Its supposed to hit -10F this week here.
