They wouldn't touch this thread with a 10' pole. That tells me they know there is a problem....

You know why that tech isn't on this thread? Bc GM is actually acknowledging, silence is consent! They don't want that tech saying anything that might be used in court.. The minute they seen this forum say lawyers, they pulled that techs plug.. You know what this forum and it's members need.... Visibility, like news worthy visibility, I'm not talking local, I'm talking 60 minutes, investigative...

I've been poking and prodding to at least 10 auto rags, newspapers and online auto news sites. One reply so far with a guy asking to experience the vibration himself. He even said he was going to be in LA, Las Vegas and Detroit - I just needed to find someone. He has different contacts at GM than any of these "engineers" or anyone else that's been involved. If you are interested red, let me know.

Do we have a count of how many trucks on here are affected? Whom is the right reporter?

 

Since this isn't endangering anyones life my bet is no one really cares.

GM is fully aware of the problem, after I sent them a nasty response to their how is everything going inquiry after my first service/vibration repair attempt I got a call from a GM rep that told me they are aware of the vibration issues and are working on a fix and expect one soon. I believe it to be bull shit to pacify their unhappy customers but I guess time will tell, I really wish I would have recorded that conversation but they caught me off guard at work when they called especially since I was never expecting a response in the first place.

You said it, no one in danger of dying, no one cares. GM wont care until it affects their profits if it ever does.

OmahaBen is correct, no one died....YET!. However, the phone calls that members have gotten are just to pacify and quiet the masses. Im retired military of 29 years. I've always told my soldiers that the reason our organization is successful is because of THEM!! NOT me. That being said, until a GM Vice President of sales, service or wherever calls and contacts one of the forum members here with this problem, nothing will ever change. GM, will put together some half-hearted fix and say they've done something. There's a member who has someone with contacts, that's good, even great, but he/she is a GM rep... Their loyalty is to that company we know that.

What we as GMC/Chevy truck owners need is visibility, national visibility. Until the little men speak and stand up to be heard, NOTHING will ever change. We have to make them change, one way or the other. Im gonna do some research here in WA, I know one of our news channels has an investigative reporter, maybe he can point me in the right direction...

I regret buying this hecho de Mexico shit box on wheels, I traded a great trouble free Nissan in on it and should have waited for the new Titan XD with the 5 liter cummins. If GM doesn't fix it soon I'm jumping brands back to Nissan or Toyota and never looking back.

I went from factory 20's to aftermarket 20's am i pissing into the wind if I bring my truck in for the vibration issue?

Some dealers have still worked on trucks even with aftermarket parts, others will tell you to pound sand and come back with the truck in original configuration, I kept all my oem parts and put everything back to stock and it didn't change the vibration, that the dealer ultimately deemed operating/vibrating within spec. Unfortunately the dealers hands are tied because GM wont pay them for warranty work unless they vibrate above a certain spec on the PICO scope.

You know, I haven't experienced what the others have. But from what I've read. I'd be livid, I'm pretty crafty with my writing, and verbiage. I'll go straight to the top.. Nothing could stop me.. Just bc I don't have a problem, I'm gonna do my damdest to help. I just need to figure out a good number that reflects the amount affected by this problem...

I believe one of the other sites. maybe silveradosierra.com took a survey and it was a 50/50 split from the respondents. There are quite a few sites that have similar threads but nothing like the size of this one.

Agreed....60 minutes or similar would definitely get their attention

Yeah, I just googled Sierra vibration issues. A site popped up showing that this issue may have first surfaced around 2013.

I'm gonna start doing my hw tomorrow. I'm gonna find out how these forum members can get GMs attention... This is pure bullsh*t!!!

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
