4 years ???? The redesign was 2014, so far it has been reported in 2014's and 2015's. The 2016's just started production 2 weeks ago.

Unless the part has been modified or specs adjusted, GM is just changing out parts. If the time comes to settle with the customer, GM is filling the blocks by attempting to rectify a repeat issue. People change out parts all the time, because they were broken or it's a different performing part. If a part is not defective or out of specs, you can’t expect it to perform differently just by changing it out? A fix with these trucks is not a singular issue (although some customers may see the issue temporarily diminish somewhat), it has to be a combination with different size wheels, different tires, reinforced mounts, different exhaust, etc. If dealers don't or can't perform the combination, then when the warranty expires and folks begin to modify or there is a new gen with different parts, is when the customer will see a fix. Maybe around 2019?

You are right, the 4 yr piece should have been left off my post, you were talking about something else (deleted it). I do agree with you though, 4 yrs is a pretty long run on bad parts.

I never said 4 years, I was asking where 14Silverad04.3 came up with his 4 year run of bad parts. The redesign only happened in 2014.

I went by the dealer for another matter today. Talked to one of the 'advisors' or whatever the people that fill out tickets are called. He and I were in the room by ourselves and I apologized to him and whatnot, more making conversation than anything. He said he 'wished GM would fix this problem. They are going to have to do something'.

 

My point is its always interesting to hear a different side (and often completely different story) from another source at the dealer. The service manager and general manager have told me slightly different stories. From 'we have had a few, the verified ones were corrected by rear ends' to 'we really haven't seen much of this'.

 

I've dealt with this guy for years, and he was pretty candid when he was able to be.

Set up my second appt for Thursday to check out my 76-80 vibe as well as my 80- 60 deceleration vibration (steering shaft shakes while decelerating).

 

I'm also taking it in for a windshield under warranty. Was fine Saturday, walked out Sunday morning and there is a crack halfway up the windshield driver side about a quarter of the way across. Starts at the edge of the windshield, no rock chip or anything. Wtf is that?

At just over 32k miles my bumper to bumper is about to run out and seems like this truck is falling apart as I speak lol. May be time to make some moves if nothing gets corrected

Maybe the true GM bumper to bumper warranty is really bumper & bumper warranty (i.e. nothing between the bumpers is covered)?

Lol you may be right

Sounds about right

I doubt running boards have anything to do with it

 

I have a 2015 CC Sierra with running boards and it does NOT vibrate.

Mine took a year before it started

 

That's not re-assuring. :(

    • I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!
    • Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.
    • We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.
    • Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA
