Not sure why this issue is not listed on this section. Here we go: The issue is the buffeting or ear pressure felt with all the windows closed. Some people have lost their mind as you can tell by some of the posts listed here: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/162779-2015-yukon-noise-in-cabin/ Others are about to, just read the posts here: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/168815-2015-yukontahoe-ear-pressure-buffeting-problem-post-here/ I was the first to lose mine, before I got the first one off the lot, the beautiful, mean, pain in the a$$ that even the heated or cooled seat cant fix, (that is if your seat stays in one place, mine used to jump around at times) 2015 GMC Yukon XL SLT. Here's what you can do: 1) call GM executive office 855-435-7284 and get a prescription number, I mean a case# 2) take it to the nearest friendly GM DEALER 3) post here 4) take it to the nearest friendly GM DEALER 5) post here 1) call GM executive office and tell them, prescription is not working 2) take it to the nearest friendly GM DEALER 3) post here 4) take it to the nearest friendly GM DEALER 5) post here Meantime see if you can find parts and pieces of your mind to research Lemon Law for your state. I'm having my 3year old do the research. -
9/15/15 - I took delivery of my 2016 Yukon XL Denali around noon. This truck was DX'd from another dealership approximately 100 miles away and was driven here on Monday (9/14/15). I took a quick test drive and was focused on the buffeting issue. It was definitely there but didn't seem to be as bad as previous vehicles that I had driven. On my way home I noticed some severed vibrations above 70mph all the way up to about 80mph. I called the service department yesterday afternoon and made an appt for this morning. We needed the room that this vehicle provides fairly quickly (lots of travel with soccer, aging parents, etc. - my wife, two young daughters and two puppies less than a year old). Some say why didn't you just swap it out with another one? This configuration was exactly what I wanted and, unlike White Diamond, the Summit White's are hard to locate, especially a 2016. 9/16/15 - took car in and described in detail what i had experienced (the buffeting and the vibration). 3 hrs later they informed me that a GM representative happened to be onsite and that they found 3 of the 4 tires to be significantly out of balance (via road force balancing). They have 20-30 (I don't recall which exact number) tires in stock of the same exact model that's on my Yukon XL (22"). They are having to put a tire on a rim to get them all matched which should solve the vibration problem. I was put into a Chevy Impala from Enterprise (there is world championship bike race in town for the next week so all larger rentals are gone, apparently). EDIT: They called me back and offered up a 2016 Acadia Denali from the dealership. Not a Yukon XL BUT certainly not an Impala. Stay tuned.

I have gotten a couple of responses to my inquiries to automobile publications/news rags/etc. One specifically is asking to drive a vehicle that has the buffeting/pressure issues present. He will be traveling to Vegas, LA and Detroit so if anyone here lives near those cities, please PM me. He is willing to utilize his contacts at GM to help us get some additional attention to this growing issue. Please let me know.
