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

I actually ended up with an upgraded truck and there was not fight my dealer took care of it for me in less than two hours - however they had tried to resolve my issue over the course of four visits - I don't know if it was the mileage going up on the loaner or the fact my dealer was sort of put out that GM had not even released the new vibration detection system to the dealer at that point about a month ago.

none as of yet and I already have more miles on it than I had on the other. Trucks were even built during the same week in August. I would go in and talk to the manager at the dealership and try to get a good working relationship going and see how far he is willing to go to bat for you when you present your opinions and options to them. One thing though go in educated but do not use I read it on the internet as a reference. The dealer is your best arbitrator before you ever seek to lemon a vehicle. Most really want to keep you coming back and will go to most ends to accomplish that. I appreciate my dealer and have bought multiple times from them because of the service and after sales contact they keep with their customers. Plus when you buy they F&I explain everything they are getting plus everything you need to expect and should get.

Excellent thanks for the advice. So far everything has been good. The sales manager even said if he had to he would put me in another vehicle so I will make sure I don't lose my cool.

Spoke with GMC chat tonight about my shake issue. They said they spoke to the dealership and that it was normal for this vehicle! I said your telling me the bad shaking like it has a bad wheel is normal? They said yes. What a freaking joke. Guess I'm back to the dealership to fix it or lemon law it. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

If it is normal for these truck to shake and vibrate, why doesn't GM advertise them as such? They should show shaking steering wheels and passenger seats and a happy owner driving the truck commenting how "normal" the truck feels. What a bunch of hypocritical crap.

tells me they know what is is now or at least they believe they do. I would send GM and the dealership a letter with the RO numbers and ask for it in writing that the vehicle is vibrating as designed. Call the number in the rear of the manual and start arbitration imho since you have both GM and Dealer now suggesting it is normal.

My vibration issues were resolved with new Michelins they put on for nothing. Still have the drone when holding at certain speeds as the v4 kicks in and the truck shifts to overspeed. They offered me another truck and I refuse to go through the pain in the ass I went through. Most of the trucks they put out have issues. The drone I guess I can live with. The computers are set up for max MPG and we cant change it. Too bad that reading this forum is a prerequisite to buying a GMC truck. I wish I had. I can deal with it for two years then off to another. Haven't figured out what that another is.

I'm guessing this issue is with the early production trucks??? Mine was built 12/13 and is smooth as can be. I feel a very slight vibration when V4 kicks in at certain speeds but to me, it's normal and not bad enough to complain about.

 

Hope yall get your issues worked out so you can :driving:

I will be picking mine up from the dealer today. They changed all for tires and put on Michelins. The service manager said he drove it before and after and said it is a night and day difference. We shall see. Ill have a 35 mile ride home from the dealer to determine if it is fixed. Will let y'all know. On the positive side... I have brand new Michelins. The truck has 12600 miles on it so I wont have to change tires for a while.

      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.

      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.
