Hi severado,

 

I am deeply sorry to hear about this shaking concern and I can understand how this persistent concern would be frustrating. If you would like to have me reach out to the dealer on your behalf, I would be more than happy to do so. Please private message me your VIN, mileage, contact information, and the involved dealership.

 

Best,

 

Anthony Z.

Why not just get the engineers to fix this problem once and for all! It's only been going on for THREE YEARS!

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

Why have these "reps" suddenly come back? Do they know something none of us do? Their presence really pisses me off more than anything since they are so useless to getting any resolution for our issues

LOL. Totally agree.

 

Start by showing us some cases where you solved the problem (and you actually know what you did that fixed it). Until then it's all lip service.

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe there's a fix on the horizon, doubt it. My guess is they know enough 16 MY trucks are out on the road that owners of the shaky ones are going to start hitting the forum to complain, so the reps are back to offer "help" ease their mind knowing they bought a 50K dollar vibrating POS that GM cannot or will not fix.

Doubtful there is a fix on the horizon...

 

In other news, Iv'e driven exactly 130 miles since picking my truck up yesterday afternoon and I can already feel the intensity of the vibration increasing.

Does anyone know if the Denali's are experiencing the same vibration issues?

Yes. It's every trim package, cab style, bed length, suspension package, etc. There is no rhyme or no reason to it

Totally. All they do it turn you back to the dealership who get no reimbursement for the hours they put into diagnosing this "bad design"

I am very respectful to mine. Always have been. AND loyal...but I am done. I buy new every 3 years...done with GM after I can afford to get out of this one.

Yes, I actually just picked my truck up from its Final Repair Attempt, and they replaced all 4 tires this time. I'm now at roughly 12,500 miles. I did first start bringing my truck in for this issues at 370 miles though, so no matter what it is, its on GM to fix.

 

Thats insane, find a new dealership, the place I purchased my truck was acting the same way when I first started bringing it in.

 

 

**UPDATE**

I picked my truck up from its final repair attempt, and I now have paperwork that contradicts what was said the last time i had it in about a month ago (This was after they replaced one tire)

 

Apr 14 2016 RFB numbers LF:14 RF:2 RR:16 LR:14

 

May 24 2016, all 4 tires suddenly have RFB numbers over 30

May 25 2016, replaced all 4 tires, no specific RFB numbers given, but I'm told they are all less than 10.

 

They tested the truck with the pico again, before the tire replacement, the number was back up to 22 (right at the GM threshold), from 16 after the last time 1 tire was replaced. after the replacement of all 4, the Pico number is way down to 7. I can say that the Vibration is very very reduced at this number, but still slightly present, The foreman says that 7 is the lowest hes been able to get any truck before. My guess is that as the tires break in, the vibration will start to return, and the new tires are merely masking it right now.

 

As for the Radio, all they did was check the connections, They did call GM TAC, but they didn't have any other solutions so nothing was done. although they did say this time that they couldn't replicate the problem that they could the previous times, and they are chalking it up to the broadcast signal.

 

I will officially be filing lemon law within the week.

Had the same results with picoscope...first time out she was registering 50....all within spec now....but same vibration still there...new tires will make it better again until they wear down...I know the deal...on my second set now. GM should be ashamed of themselves.

Fix the issue. Take ownership of it. Stop making the dealerships be the fall guy for your design flaws. That would be a start.

      AFM Experience

      By KARNUT · Posted

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.
