Dropped the truck off at the dealer for the 4th and final repair attempt. Truck also has 30+ days in service over the previous 3 repair vistis. Truck was purchased new in late November 2015 and today is March 22, 2016.

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

I contacted GM today about my issue as well. Same thing as everyone else, new tires and multiple road force balances. Purchased truck in Oct 2015 and has vibrated since the day I drove it off the lot. Everytime I bring it in the problem gets 80% better for a couple weeks and then is back to the heavy vibrations between 75-80 mph. Dealer keeps giving excuses like "the weights must be falling off the tires" and things like that. Hopefully the executive support will be able to help me so I don't have to get a lawyer involved, but it seems like that might be the only course of action.

I am thankful my dealer quickly went past wheels and tires, they have seen enough that were not corrected from RFB. New ring and pinion, still being road tested by them to confirm repair.

I received a new 2016 yesterday (ordered new not from current dealer stock) to replace my GMC 2015 6.2 4x4 crew cab that vibrated since I bought it in Dec 2015. My 2015 has been at the dealer since Jan 5th trying to resolve the vibration. They tried wheels, tires, replaced ring & pinion, replaced shocks and are trying shims for the engine next. I'm glad that truck is gone. The new 2016 does not vibrate at all for now and the transmission appears much smoother than the 2015.

 

Thanks to everyone that takes the time to post what's happening with their trucks on this forum. It helped me get through the last 3 months.

Well, it looks like the new transmission, 4x4 transfer case recall and motor mount shims DID NOT fix my highway vibration above 60 mph. It rode much better at the lower speeds.

Harry gave me the news today...

 

Since my truck STILL vibrates and is on it's 4th and final attempt he has ordered some special tires.

Nope, I had them on my first 2014. I had the rims and tires installed on that one before i even picked it up. That was the one with the squeaky dashboard that they couldn't fix.

I would like to thank this forum for saving me $33,xxx + on a 2014 Silverado.

 

I read this last night, stumbled upon the forum by accident.

 

I was going into the dealer to buy the truck today.

 

I test drove a 2014 Silverado LTZ, accelerated it up to 76 mph and sure shit...the vibration was there.

 

I asked the dealer who was riding with me if he could see my hands vibrating on the steering wheel and he could.

 

I drove a 2016 of the exact same model and no vibration...so again, thank you very much! If they can find one for me I will be buying one this week.

Yes, this is my first post. Thank you, again!!!

Just be cautious, there are some that don't vibrate for the first 1500 miles or so. And there are more than a few 2016's with the issue here.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
