Anyone have any ideas how to speed up the dealership? I have a shake at 70-80 and they say they've never had one with this issue. I see a lot of people getting new tires or drive lines. How can I speed up the process of new tires as I know they will want to mess with everything else first

It does not surprise me one bit that so many dealerships will pretend that they never heard of this problem. Suggest you go to several dealers and find one which will be most receptive to working with you to resolve the problem.

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

Is your truck an "All Star" or "All Shake" edition? :crackup:

I don't know if that makes me laugh or angry lol. Just because its so true. All shake is about right. The center console goes crazy

GM is offering me a new 2015 LTZ with 500 miles to replace my vibrating 2014 LT with 8000. My payment will stay the same.

 

Also, the new one does not have a bad vibration at this time. Should I agree to the trade?

If that's true I'd be all over it

They are offering me msrp on my 2014 for trade in and I'm financing the difference of the ltz which is equal to what I've already paid during the 10 months I've owned the Lt. My loan will start over from scratch but my payment will stay the same.

 

The other option is to hold out for a refund.

 

Should I take the ltz and hope it remains vibrateless or hold out for a refund?

How do you get these deals? How many times do you have to take your truck in for the same issue? Do you have to contact GM or did the dealer offer this?

Looks like my issue is about 95% resolved . after countless times at the dealership and multiple different dealerships they finally broke down and swapped the tires again .... ive had 6 new tires on this truck due to the goodyears being "defective" ...they put bridgestone tires on it this time like some denalis come with and its running pretty good now . drove it roughly 30 miles and smooth as can be around 73-85 mph . I believe if GM would stop using the junk goodyear tires and put something good on them this issue would be gone !

As soon as they (GM) bought back my first 14, I put Nitto Terra Grapplers on the replacement i think 4 days after i drove it off the lot.

You need to have the dealer try to fix it first. My dealer replaced 3 tires with new ones, took tires off another 14 on the lot, half a dozen tire balancing attempts, 3 different drive shafts, engine shims, and a complete rear end before they said they couldn't fix it and would help me get the "assistance" to buy a different vehicle. The dealer is your friend when it comes to situations like this. If you're an @$$ they probably wont go to bat for you. I went straight to my dealerships general manager and he got it done. Total time for the assistance approval period was less than a week after i had sufficient service records to support the assistance. I really couldn't be happier with my 2nd truck. I do recommend putting new tires on it as soon as you leave the dealer though..

I would take it and run with it - this is exactly what I did on mine as well. Refinanced the new one at a lower rate and same payment. If you wait for a refund they will nickel and dime you on mileage etc and drag it out. I was so done with mine I took the deal and have moved on with my life and couldn't be more pleased. The new one has a few issues but nothing that isn't livable!

I had read that before. Very enlightening. I must say, that the "reduced" runout limit on the driveshaft of 0.50" (1/2 an inch) is massive, in my opinion. That's preposterous! No wonder these this have a vibration. I can't even imagine what the "normal" spec is. Now, if they had said 50 thou (0.050"), then maybe I could believe that.

 

That document must have a typo in it. 1/2" would shake like crazy, and you would see that wobbling like mad!

It's so sad to see more and more trucks being added to the list :tear:

 

Just think of the people who have not taken the time to search this issue

out, like I did until the service manager stated " Don't believe everything you read

on the internet " I was a member here long before this issue came up on the '14

Silverado. and the best information I received was from this very site !

 

I strongly can not stress how very important it is to have a semi calm attitude with

your dealer, it was his persistence with GM that kept my name on the top of GM's

list and my nice but constant calling GM customer service to make them aware I was

in no way accept anything less then what was fair, my case took a bit longer because

of the items I added, and I gave GM six weeks to produce a truck that did not vibrate

or delay on the up shifts or have excessive injector noise.

 

It was a sad day for me when I finally realized that GM had no interest in keeping

me a GM customer. and I've moved on and I'm glad that I've been able to help

quite a few people with this issue.

 

This vibration issue is snow balling at a very extreme rate, and I see nothing good

coming from it until GM acknowledges their engineering mistake and takes care of

it's customers in the same good faith that people purchased the trucks to begin with.

 

All in all, ' What goes around will come around ' it's just a matter of time !

      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
