It looks like the vibration saga continues. I traded my truck 3 months ago for a 2016 Ford F150 Crew Cab 5.0L 4x4. It was the best move that I have ever made on a vehicle given my bad luck with GM. I will NEVER own another GM product in my lifetime nor will my son or daughter (their decision) after seeing most of my problem vehicles.

 

-1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera - Infamous factory paint defect blamed on acid rain

-1995 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab 2WD - Bucking and jerky engine when warm (61,000 miles). GM lead mechanic told me to trade it when it was running good after 5 failed attempts to diagnose and fix it on my dime.

-2001 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab 2500HD 4WD - Lemon lawed and bought back by GM despite making every attempt to discredit my case. After they lost the ruling, I was contacted in a last ditch effort to replace the engine so they did not have to buy it back.

-2015 GMC Sierra Crew Cab 4Wd - Traded after attempts to fix the vibration issues failed and GM was not interested in finding a solution or admitting a problem.

 

Here is my solution:

 

 

I wish you guys the best.

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 I am officially done with GM. They finally made things right. I can't go in to details but keep on them and they will make it right. I got myself a brand new 2016 F150 yesterday and love it. No shakes. And what do you know. It's a ecoboost. Never thought I'd buy a V6 truck but this ecoboost is something nice.

Hey all, I read back several pages but couldn't find my answer for certain. Is the shaking/vibration a problem with the 2016 trucks? Both 6 and 8 speed transmissions?

My shake is real. My visits are very real. I'm taking it again tomorrow real. Wasting my time taking it to another dealer real. Being pissed about paying the note is way too real. I'd never even know this existed if my truck didn't do this crap.

 

Not at you C6Bill. I'm just with you on this. No plant here.

I got news for the non believers this thread is the real deal and I know From being a previous Viberado owner . With any forum your going to get false information or pots stirred and that's just nature of the beast . My heart sincerely goes out to those who are experiencing these issues and wishing them a cure to these problems with there GM truck . I was fortunate to were I just owned a base model work truck so I was able to get out of it without as much financial hardship as those that have 50,000 dollar trucks and are locked in or seeking help from the lemon laws.There going to be those that there defense mechanism kicks in because they cant afford to get out of there truck so they put blinders on to not see the issue or feel it I should say . I would bet over 80% or higher is the percentage of folks having vibrating/harmonic issues . But believe it or not the 20% that aren't and saying they are, actually are helping the cause to fix it and let it be known so we should thank those to [emoji6]

Been a while since I have posted in here but religiously read post's every day... May 2015 is when I noticed my SEVERE Vibration with 3500k miles on it... After a Tire Balance (LF was 1 1/2OZ off) and rotation in June 2015 my vibes were gone... I have been following thread because I am nervous to rotate tires again... Well now the truck has 10,200k miles on it and tomorrow, 06-18-16, I am getting the Free Oil change, 27 point inspection and TIRES ROTATED... Has anyone had their Vibe issues return after a Tire Rotation?

 

Stay Tuned..

So I dropped it off and Happy to Report, It still feels OK... But I still have a quick story... Dropped it of Friday Night... I get a call early Sat morning saying they can't find my Locking Lug Nut Key and they can't do the tire rotation... The only time I had used it before was to have a Tire shop repair a slow leak last year... So now I am like WTF... I ask the guy "I assume you guys looked everywhere"... He says I personally looked my self... I ask him so what can be done now? Can I order I new one? He proceeded to talk about cutting them off and replacing with new for $100,,, That didn't sit well with me so I told him to do nothing and I will get back to him... 2 hours later, and after cleaning out three junk drawers trying to find it, I decided to pay them a Visit to look myself... Damn thing was right where is should be,, In the bottom Glove Compartment,,, REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! He says "I didn't look in the bottom one".. No apologies.. Nothing... I also found a tiny nick in the chrome on one wheel and I wasn't really looking... It stood out because the mechanic put his finger on it and wiped the dust off and made it shinier... I haven't had the chance to inspect further... While escorting back to the shop office he pokes into a break room where 4 derelict looking dudes where pounding down pizzas and he hands one of them the key... No words exchanged... I didn't even get a slice... Turned out to be a big waste of time but at least it was found and got the rotation..

Well we made the journey home and still had varying degrees of vibration throughout the trip. The steering assist also went out again at highway speeds.

It's now at the dealership it was purchased and they are working on it.

1st issue was a replacement steering unit. Will be in on Wednesday.

 

I have a loaner 2016 Silverado, same overall configuration, and I can't believe how much better it is than mine. All around better: better pickup, better throttle response, no shaking or vibrating. It's making me feel way worse about my truck.

My dealer and GM CS is on it and I'm hopeful they'll do right by us. I'll post back with updates as I get them.

Welp GM has made their final repair attempt for my vibration issues.

 

3 weeks ago they asked me to take my leveling kit off so they can move past tires. I complied and returned it to the dealer. In the 9 days they had it they re-rfb'd the tires with the proper hub mount for the balancer (why they didn't have this in the first place boggles the mind) and then ran the 3 way PICO and found it to be "in spec".

 

What pisses me off is the assistant manager was backing me up for about a month agreeing with my assessment that there was an abnormal vibration. And after this latest attempt where the vibration has changed but not gone away at all, he puts on his turn coat and says it's "within gm spec".

 

Told the GM CS rep I've been dealing with that the series of events makes no sense and that I am not satisfied with the results. Waiting to hear back.

 

Truck has been at the dealer cumulatively 38 days and 215 miles for "vibration analysis".

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By Keith179 · Posted

      I’m out of ideas on this truck. 2020 Silverado 1500. 5.3 135,000 miles. Has a p0308 and p050d codes. Smokes From exhaust when cold. Compression test passed. New plugs, wires and coil on cyl 8. Same issue. New coil on 8, no change. Replaced injectors, no change. Bore scope showed oil pooled on the piston after sitting overnight. Pulled head and had machine shop check it out. No cracks. Stem seals looked good, replaced anyways. He also ground valve seats. Put it all back together and still have the same issue. Bore scope shows oil on the piston again. Leaning towards maybe a cracked ring but unsure. Cylinder looked good when the head was off, no scoring or scratches. Any ideas on what else I should look for?  Appreciate the help

      2021 Silverado 2.7L – N232395310 – Can someone with GM dealer access check my VIN?

      By HeronLeal · Posted

      Just want to make sure it is covered by Special Coverage N232395310 Evaporative Emission Purge Pump 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7L L3B ~100k miles I'm getting DTCs P146B and P146F. VIN 3GCPWBEK2MGxxxxxx   I spoke to a person that works at GM and he said it is not covered after checking my VIN.   Is there anyone here who currently works for a GM/Chevrolet dealership and has access to GM Global Warranty Management / Investigate Vehicle History who could explain how the VIN eligibility is determined?   thank you

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.
