I hope this all blows up in there face. I may go and park my truck at a Chevy dealership this Saturday or Sunday. So people going to look at these trucks can read my back window on the way in to the dealership. And maybe they will second guess there thoughts on buying a Chevy. I drive in to Boston Monday thru Friday I am in the traffic in the morning and at night. There's a lot of people in traffic that will read that my truck is a lemon.

hahaha, well you can't park it on their property, but infront maybe. I drive from the south shore to Boston most days aswell, but I am able to miss the worst of the traffic so I can generally go at a pretty good speed. however since my truck has multiple speeds that it vibrates/ shakes at I just about always have it.

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

Well, C6Bill, you read way more into my post than I put in it. I did not state nor infer that he shouldn't be allowed to complain. Actually, I was merely jesting with him about being able to afford a 2016 LTZ on a soldiers pay. But heck, maybe he's a Bird Colonel, trust fund baby, married well, who knows. None of my business for sure but on the other hand I do enjoy exercising my 1st Amendment rights, politically correct or not. How about them apples, lol :)

 

Wow talk about reading between the lines. I responded to exactly what you typed.

 

 

"here you are complaining about your $55,000 2016 LTZ Z71!"

 

 

 

And yes I read this part too

 

Not being critical. I think you guys earn every cent you're paid. I'm just amazed, that's all!

 

 

 

Isn't that kind of like me saying "you are a dick, no offense intended" ???

No offense intended? Hell, boy. Why don't you man up and say what you mean and own it? Yeah, I can be a Dick, been called a lot worse, lol! Btw, I've never come across any Army dudes who refer to themselves as a soldier. Just not the way we talk.....

Fixed for the western PA folk ;).

 

My truck is still vibration free at 4100 miles. I've been watching it closely though.

New to the site and been watching this thread for quite a while. I currently have a 2014 FX4 F150 (don't hate me). I really want a Sierra All Terrain SLT...every time I see one on the road I stare like a stalker. My F150 has been virtually perfect and I now have 37,000 miles on it. This thread is the only reason I haven't traded for a 2016 Sierra! I keep waiting to read that the vibration issues are fixed for new 16's or at least that the issue is found and all vehicles will be fixed. What the heck GM...I want to buy one of your trucks!

Yep, looking to see if GM will correct their terrible mistakes.

 

Don't worry, Ford has plenty of their own as well. Time will tell if you're lucky or not.

Curious if there is a particular model combination that is most prone to the vibration issues? Crew Cab vs others...5.3 vs 6.2...Z71

/All Terrain vs standard suspension?

^With the amount of turbos, gizmos and whatnots in the F150... I want to see how they hold up to 300k. They have the carbon build up also on the intake valves. I give Ford props for what they're doing, going hi-tech bug most trucks are used for business. In business it's about $/mile and not breaking down. When the ecoboost came out they had the inter-coolers collecting water and bogging the engines down. Not sure where that ended up. And the new '17?+ Ecoboost is to have electronic controlled turbos. Like my 335i BMW. 6.2 please.... so much more simple.

 

 

Deanno33- problems is widespread on configs...

      Open Door Chimes When Key is Out

      By Head South · Posted

      2020 2500 HD...I had some trouble getting the key into the ignition switch but went in fine after applying some extra effort. Since then, the door chimes when open when the key is out of the ignition. Also, when I lock the doors with the switch on the arm rest, the driver door locks but then unlocks. (I can lock everything fine with the fob) The message on the little screen displays the "Engine Hours"...kinda weird.   I'm guessing something happened to the ignition switch and it thinks the key is still in there. I unplugged the batteries for 20 minutes, no change. There are a number of videos on YouTube but nothing I can find that address this specific issue. Ideas appreciated, thank you.

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features. OnStar and Wi-Fi may not work after remote start CarPlay may not automatically reconnect Part of the Driver Attention messaging screen may be in English even though the language is set to something else XM may not work After a dead 12V the radio may set to Arabic at each startup Bluetooth contacts might not be able to sync with the vehicle During an OTA the 12V battery may drain Customer might see a screen telling them to return to the dealer After changing the Wi-Fi SSID or password a device may not disconnect If a device is connected on the 2.4Ghz band, nothing will connect to the 5Ghz one, which could show as slow Wi-Fi speeds Customers might have noticed Wi-Fi dropping in certain areas and reconnecting later Customer might see the top of the screen blinking during Android Auto Android Auto may not connect CarPlay audio might momentarily cut out The "Add Phone" button may be grayed out The radio may not start up   V167 Most Notable Improvements:   Outside Air Temperature is incorrect. -You may see a popup message for Engine Shift.

      Front End Rattle

      By AndrewF · Posted

      Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person.
