Well folks, I did it. After all the failed attempts at the Chevy dealer I traded it in for a 2015 Ram 1500 Larame. I have to agree with the other folks on here that have done the same thing, it was th

Apparently you and the other customer reps don't care. If you or GM would care y'all would put more effort in the matter. Just coming on the forum and stating the same repetitive posts and being a 3

Well I have some good news and bad news about my truck vibrations. Good news is that my truck has a significantly less vibration at speed. The bad news is my truck has significantly less vibration. Fo

Today I asked about this problem at my local Chevy dealer and they acted as if this was news to them. Just how widespread is this vibration issue? Just out of curiosity I will test drive a new 2014 Silverado with Goodyear Wrangler tires and see how it rides.

make sure u take it up to 75 80 mph and push it a little hard to get to 75. don't floor it just push it a little hard if you know what im saying. if it dose not shake let go of the gas down to about 65 and then go back up to 75 80.thats how i fell my truck start shaking.

jcr3 did they shim and center motor mounts?

No they didn't. if they did they didn't tell me that. They did say they reprogramed the transmission.

Sorry for all the troubles everyone is having. I drove a dozen 14 Silverados and Sierras before buying and none of them had a vibration issue. It was a good random sampling of all the different tire sizes and brands, as well as a couple with lifts and aftermarket tires. The one I bought had a lift and aftermarket tires from day one, and it is still trouble free after 12,000 miles. I sure hope you all find the fix, because this is a huge blemish on an otherwise fine truck.

I'm friends with the my local Chevy (owner) along with the service manager. I asked both if they have heard or had customer complaint's on the 14 Silverado vibrating/shaking. Both told me it's the first they have heard of it. Both are good fiends and I have no reason not to believe them.

 

Like I stated earlier in another post on this thread, My truck has almost 6500 miles on and rides butter smooth. I certainly hope that those with issues, get a fix soon. I know I would be super pissed!

Just come across this and haven't read the entire thread,,, so anyway I recently purchased a 14 which does have a vibration around 65-70..its small, but noticeable when there is a strong head wind. The truck I first test drove had a very noticeably vibration and the day I drove it there was strong head wind, this truck also had the 3.08 gears, when I got back to the dealer I made the comment to him about it and of course he knew nothing.. so a couple days later I went back and test drove another the truck, the one I bought which had no vibration at the time....fast forward to a few days ago I was heading to work and there was a strong head wind and the same vibration I felt in the first truck I test drove is now happening to mine but not as noticeable, also my truck has 3.42 gears. I want to think it has something to do with tranny, possibly the programming.

Perhaps these vibration issues are a combination of mediocre tires, transmission shifting pattern programmed for maximum fuel economy( i.e shifting into higher gears too soon) and also the AFM system deactivating the cylinders. Seems to me that in their quest to maximize fuel economy , GM has shot themselves in the foot and went too far, introducing unpleasant vibration into the whole package. Maybe some trucks have a worst case stack up of these vibration levels and these are the worst ones.

 

Have you guys tried to drive your trucks in the tow/haul mode for some time to see if the

vibration is less pronounced? Tow/haul mode raises the shifting points so that at least one possible factor is eliminated. Another attempt I would make is to deactivate the AFM electronically to see if anything changes.

 

I really hate to see anyone get rid of a new truck due to a tire issue or something that can be corrected. You will always lose thousands of dollars when trading for an equivalent new truck, no matter what make or model. Dealers these days are a lot more greedy than they were some twenty years ago when they were happy to make $ 1000 on a used vehicle. Now they want to make at least $4k or $ 5k and even that does not seem enough to some.

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features. OnStar and Wi-Fi may not work after remote start CarPlay may not automatically reconnect Part of the Driver Attention messaging screen may be in English even though the language is set to something else XM may not work After a dead 12V the radio may set to Arabic at each startup Bluetooth contacts might not be able to sync with the vehicle During an OTA the 12V battery may drain Customer might see a screen telling them to return to the dealer After changing the Wi-Fi SSID or password a device may not disconnect If a device is connected on the 2.4Ghz band, nothing will connect to the 5Ghz one, which could show as slow Wi-Fi speeds Customers might have noticed Wi-Fi dropping in certain areas and reconnecting later Customer might see the top of the screen blinking during Android Auto Android Auto may not connect CarPlay audio might momentarily cut out The "Add Phone" button may be grayed out The radio may not start up   V167 Most Notable Improvements:   Outside Air Temperature is incorrect. -You may see a popup message for Engine Shift. (Corvette Only) After changing the exhaust sound they get a popup that "mode change not applied", even though it was. -When changing volume, the volume bar is for Traffic instead of Audio. -(Corvette Only) Improvements to the placement of buttons and text. -If the customer receives the message "Apple CarPlay Could not connect", the cursor might move in the opposite direction than expected when using the control knob. -Android Auto automatically starts playing their music, even though they have turned that off in settings. -Intermittently they have a red OnStar LED with no OnStar function and/or no audio. -The minimum length of the Wi-Fi password was increased to 12 characters. -The popup message "Driver Attention Check, check your mirrors or Super Cruise will shut down" may not have come up on the display when it should have. -Startup animation added for 20th anniversary of the V-Series on Cadillacs. -The Navigation app received location improvements when going under long underpasses. -In the Navigation app there are filters for charging points that the vehicle cannot use.   V164 Most Notable Improvements Most notable improvements contained in this release may include: Apps Intermittently, an “SD Card Removed” message will pop up in the Navigation app. While in the audio app, the radio may stop working. Trailer Tire Pressure sensors may not be learned in the Trailer app. Not being able to return to the home screen while in the Camera app. After an ignition cycle, the radio might go to a black screen or stop working if using Sirius XM. Spotify icon truncated on Audio app.   SXM When changing power modes with the ignition switch, the HVAC pop up might appear. During startup, the radio will show the brand splash screen then go blank. Receiving a confirmation pop-up when changing drive modes. A “Return to Dealer” message may appear on the radio screen. SuperCruise setting toggle may not work. System After an ignition cycle, the radio might go black or stop working if using Sirius XM (SXM). Settings When performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working. After performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working when trying to switch users. When trying to go into the Language section quickly after startup, the radio may stop working. Projection Wireless CarPlay cannot be connected after unpairing another wireless Android Auto device. When the Android Auto screen comes up to connect wirelessly, the screen may freeze if the Cancel button is pressed. Removed the Apple CarPlay Cannot Connect screen when a device fails to pair during the autoconnect process. CarPlay information may not show up in the audio app. Near Field Communications (NFC) chime may be heard when NFC does not work. The Cannot Connect screen does not pop up after the first connection on wireless CarPlay fails. Apple CarPlay is now functional in Guam. Over the Air (OTA) When a software update is cancelled, the downloading logo may still be displayed. Energy When using the Energy app, the radio may stop working. When plugging in the vehicle, the display might show “Now” instead of “Charging Upon Plug In.” Instrument Cluster Voice recognition can be started while on an OnStar or phone call. When downloading contacts, there is a progress bar and circles on the Recents page of the cluster. The temperature on the cluster and the display may be different. After receiving and ending a call on the secondary paired phone, the cluster may get stuck on the phone menu. Bluetooth Intermittent Bluetooth connection loss.

      Front End Rattle

      By AndrewF · Posted

      Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
