Shake or Vibration Issues

WLC · October 28, 2015

Funny how the GM folks have abandoned this thread, and calling GM customer service is a complete waste of your time.

funny I was thinking the same thing last night. So when I called GM numerous times it was like they were reading answers to me.notice most of these people you call know how to drive a car and that's about it. Maybe the front from the back but they are working a job and doing what they are told to do! They are just waiting for the weekend.There's a song there somewhere! LOL. Edited October 28, 2015 by WLC

Would driving wooden wedges between frame and body parts help isolate the problem? Just a thought.It would be nice if someone found the problem and this thread dried up!

Now that people with 16's are reporting the same issue, I doubt the thread is going to dry up. My truck was $54K, another $1K to have it right wouldn't have deterred me from buying it. But after going through this I will never buy another GM product, and I am sure I'm not alone in that sentiment.

Where are these reports of 2016 Silverado's or Sierras vibrating ? I didn't think they had hit the streets yet, do you have any links ?

I haven't seen any on the road but my dealer has one in the lot.....they probably will as the only changes were cosmetic

This post claims his 2016 Yukon Denali XL has it.

Yep...That's me. My car is back in the shop for the 3rd time this week. My dealership has been fantastic - they are realists and know that it's not their fault it can't be fixed. They have a GM field engineer on site and I hope to hear something today or tomorrow. I picked up my XL Denali on 9/15. I have reached out to approximately 10 automobile rags/online review sites and started a Facebook group to try to get even the slightest more attention on this issue. I need this space and love the truck - otherwise I would have tossed the keys back to them after week one. I am also very thankful that I leased it so, worst case scenario, I walk away after 3 years and don't take any hits financially on how they will depreciate, especially once the market becomes more educated on these issues. I did have a guy reach out to me from my inquiries asking if anyone was in LA, Detroit or Vegas so that he could drive one. He has contacts at GM that most don't and I had really hoped someone would have raised their hand. I will keep everyone posted.

I figured the 16s still had the problem

C6Bill · October 28, 2015

But does anyone know of any reports of issues with 2016 SIlverado's and Sierras, the claims that the only changes are cosmetic are they factual or pure speculation ?

paxtonman · October 28, 2015

the above was what I'm referring to, but since it's just a cosmetic upgrade I would bet the 16's will also have it.

Ok. A follow up to my vibration issues. I brought my truck in on Monday night. I received a call Tuesday morning and I was told that I had two tires that were way out of the allowable range on the Road Force balancer. They had to order two tires. They received the two tires this morning. I got a call this afternoon and was told that these NEW tires have the same issue. Now they ordered two more. I told them to order six. Maybe they'd find two good ones out of the bunch. Then again, how long will they stay good. The tires weren't like this when I bought the truck (7300 miles). The problem just became progressively worse. If this keeps going I may have to trade the tires in on a "better"set.

"Precision made" truck with cheap, sub-standard tires. Nice. Really helps the reputation.

FYI: The tires are Continental CrossContact™ LX20

Tire Size: P275/55R20

Found this today while I was surfing around the web looking for anything related to fixing the vibration. GM better remove their head from their ass soon.

You realize that this is just some law firm that was fortunate enough to grab a good domain and are doing their best to capitalize on that, right?

Yeah for sure, but stuff like this means that the problem is becoming more known they have obviously recognized the potential to make money. The whole problem with GM coming up with a fix stems from the fact that most people are unaware of it until they experience it for themselves and start searching the web which hasn't affected GM's sales. I thought about getting a billboard right by one of the dealerships posting the web address for this forum something like. "Thinking about buying a new GM truck?" check out this forum first or do a web search for "vibrating silverado". If you can't put pressure on the manufacture to fix the issue perhaps the dealerships can. It all comes down to money, affect their ability to make it and they'll do something about it, especially in the light truck market where their highest margins and most profit comes from. Where I'm at the Chevrolet and GMC dealership are right next to one another, different owners.
