I owned a 2011 EB and never had that problem. When you need to get out and pass you'd better hold on. Don't know about your case but that is NOT the norm, pal.

Pal? Im stating what I read, heard and witness, Im not downing the brand I own a 13 F550 6.7 for a service truck. Anything over 1/2 ton Im a Ford guy, under Im GM. So as far as the early EB falling on its face its been documented.

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

Documented by who? You? You've never owned one but yet have an opinion? Get real. I've never had that problem. Some problems may have existed on the EB but you make it sound like it's a common issue. Prove it.

After the 4.6 and the 5.4 spark plug problem and the head gasket problem and the back window pop out problem I pass when ford does a new engine or model. I was lucky enough to miss the 6.0 diesel. I now visit the forums before I buy. Hell there was even a vid on this site on a EB trying to accelerate. Like I stated I own some Ford diesels and like them. By the way that not a Ford in your Sig. Check out the thread on this site about would you buy a GM truck again, the yes are way ahead.

No I traded my EB in for this one. In my opinion it's like these trucks with the vibration problem. Just because a few have the issue it doesn't make it a bad truck.

I agree, I think Ford makes the best 3/4 ton and up trucks on the road, but I like the GM 1/2 tons the best. Good luck with yours.

Trade. I paid 35k for the Silverado got 30k for trade with 9000 miles on it. The ford has the HID's and they are nice. Very wide pattern, and they are bi-xenon. High beams senda very good high and centered pattern. Glad I have HID's again. My Chevy was just halogens. Seats are sweet, more comfortable then my Silverado 40/20/40. Wife says that "in the ford you sit in the seat, in the Chevy you sit on the seat". If that makes any sense to you guys.

Thanks, are the low beams better? The 14 loaner GMC was down right dangerous on low beam on unlighted rural roads.

I know that the low beams (HID) on the ford are far better then the lows on the Silverado with halogens. I've heard people complain about the projectors on the Silverado's, but don't have any experience with them. Also to note the Ford I am driving is equipped with HID's. Aren't all the GM's just halogens inside a Projector lens? If so, its not really a fair comparison due to the fact HID's are just better then Halogens.

Honestly, I'm not sure if they reinstalled the original prop shaft.

I assume that they did, but the service report does not distinctly say it.

thanks for the reply. I will still ask my dealer to look at the gears, they were rumbling pretty good today (under heavy acceleration).

I'm just now discovering this thread. My previous gripes have been posted in the "2014 Owners with Issues" thread. This topic is my biggest issue with my 2014 Sierra All Terrain, but still one of many. It's a $50K truck that rides like a 1950's truck. The steering wheel and seat vibration from about 40-65 mph is utterly frustrating and absolutely not acceptable by anyone's standards. Mine is currently at the dealership for this and multiple other recall or warranty related issues. However, based on reading many pages of this thread I have no confidence there will be a fix for my (our) problem. To validate it further; the dealer gave me a loaner truck with 161 miles on the odometer. It has the exact same vibration and unsteady feel. I'm thinking this is a problem that runs throughout the new GM truck platform and they clearly know about it, but have no idea how to fix it, nor are they really concerned about doing so. It's easy for them to use the standard response of; "vehicle rides and performs as designed", therefore claiming the trucks are working fine by their standards in an attempt to avoid any liability. They know it's not something that'll cause physical harm to the drivers/passengers, therefore they have no worries about fatality lawsuits on this issue, unlike the other mess they're in right now.

 

The sad thing is that if 90% of us would've known about this issue before buying our trucks, then Ford/Ram/Toyota sales would've shown major growth because there would be about 500,000 less new GM trucks on the road right now.

I'll post my results upon getting mine back from the dealer, but my expectations of a resolution are virtually none. Mine is a 4wd CC, and the loaner is a 2wd CC, both with identical ride issues. That alone shows this problem is rampant across the new platform.

You are so, so right, if I would have known that this vibration existed or I couldn't technically put camping tow mirrors on it I would have never purchased this truck. Don't get me wrong I love the truck its just the frustrating things like that vibration that should not be there. GM is telling me that it is a characteristic of this truck and its total BS in my opinion. The have changed tires and said there is nothing else they can do for me, which is total crap.

Jennifer T., Gregory and the rest of the "GM Customer Care" gang take a look at these posts(I have more on other sites) of people trading in their new 2014's and relate that your supervisors.

I can't believe I am writing this but I did stop by the ford dealership looking this past weekend. Wow that is shocking me that I even wrote that but at least they can have camping tow mirrors on a half ton pickup.

I bet you money that there's hundreds of Ford owners trading in their trucks on 14 GMs as well... Every manufacturer has their issues. I see late model Ford trucks all the time at my local Chevy dealer. Yea they might come from auctions but not all of them. Its always greener on the other side...

GM DOES NOT CARE they have bigger fish to fry - such as profit margins - as long as the Silverado secret is out there and they have the wool pulled over the NHTSA eyes there will be nothing done. They should bill the Silverado as the first truck built exclusively for the ladies - we have models that will please any woman from bumper to bumper we assure you the largest vibrator on the road ;)

 

Just throwing more fuel on the fire

Just got my GM magazine and it states that GMC Sierra is Consumer's Guide Automotive 2014 Best Buy Award. Has 5 stars above it. Also KBB.com's Lowest 5 year cost to own in it's class. Christ, GM still believes the Sierra is the best thing since sliced bread. It talks about the inside luxury. Nothing about how it shakes like a dog shitting razor blades. Huh. Why do they leave that part.

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou
