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.

      A/C failure cause???

      By Somethingclever_2014GM · Posted

      Glad it worked for you. I tried that 1st, about 2 years ago. Didn't help. I also tried doing a hard reset (disconnecting battery for minimum of 30 minutes). Worked a couple times, but after one summer of doing it over and over, that no longer worked.  I was fairly confident it was either the compressor or a failed actuator, but I just couldn't identify which one. Had to research which actuators do what and which last numbers are associated with each.

      Took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to find this. Isn't that a problem? On the mainstream media I can INSTANTLY find 100 articles bashing President Trump ... but when it comes to TRUTH in American corporate news & search engines, it's carefully filtered to support ONE SIDE. A Republic cannot survive like this! Incredible! Even all the AI searchers out there failed as well! ChatGPT said it needed more details on the video that I provided a DIRECT LINK to! I thought AI was the be-all, end-all?? I had to dig it up myself. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! 🤬   Here's the statement directly from our President:     Glenn Beck's reporting on the operation:   https://glennbeck.com/watch/videos/trump-just-revealed-a-massive-military-secret-that-lowered-gas-prices   In case that link doesn't work, here's the YouTube link:     And another 15 minutes to find this clip out of Glenn Beck's video - the first few seconds is all the corporate media will allow the public to see, since the low IQ people will think Trump said " I love inflation ", and that was the end of it. Taken WAY out of context! Here's that part, plus the 2nd part about the oil smuggling operation:

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.
