the deal is they take mine and give me a new 2017. whether I keep it or not is another story, not sure what Ill do at the moment, I'm terrified to have the vibration come back, and I already know that it is very very slight on the 2017 denali's I tested. im trying to get them to put better tires on before I accept.. If its gone I'll consider keeping it, if its still there I'm going straight to Ford or Toyota... I think

Yours options are limited no doubt .

Wish you the best outcome what ever you choose

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 finally found a fix!

 

After buying 2 different 2014 GM trucks with this issue (see past posts) and battling GM over a year, I finally found a fix for the sub-par manufacturing of the new GM truck model. I bought a 2015 Ford F150 FX4 and I have not looked back since. I have always been a GM guy, but they will never get another dime from me or my family. I suggest you all do the same.

 

Good luck guys.

 

LOL, I also found a similar "fix". A 2016 Ram Laramie with the 5.7. This truck ROCKS!!!

Pro Comp ProRunner SS all around with the height adjustable fronts. Only saving a few bucks over Bilstein 5100s. I'll let you know if it was worth it after I pick it up. Heading there now.

No, but her mother finished 6th at Westminster.

uh huh. Well I'm glad I got out of the dog show circuit many many years ago. If what you say is true, I can see that my instincts were right about how the show circuit has deteriorated drastically.

In all seriousness, is my 2016 4x2 LTZ ever going to ride smooth over 70mph. I see a ton of posts about the vibration issue, but see very little about the issue being corrected by the dealer. Please tell me that I did not make a mistake by buying this truck as 75% of my driving is on the highway. I even asked my service writer to search ch the Internet and he will see that this is not a unique issue to my truck.

If my instincts are right they are glad you are gone.

OK. Got it back around 3:30pm. Hung out for a while with family. Drove it on my normal roads. Took it up to 95 on the freeway with my friend who is in town this weekend. He was impressed with the power and features. Does it ride better? Yes. Paid good money for it. The hard console shake seems to be gone. All of the little imperfections and potholes are way way less noticeable. That's all I really wanted for right now. Next I'm getting a beefier tire to reduce road feedback. But does it still vibrate? Fkin' Yeah. Tighter more controlled suspension makes V4 mode vibe pronounced. Torque converter maybe?

Well at least you made improvements in some of the ride characteristics. And you are not the first to question the torque converter. Anyone get a 2017 yet ?

      Mixed info from dealer and manual RE: 10 Speed 45K service

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      I'm the original poster of this thread; I'm 85,000 miles now with no transmission issues after they did the fluid change without filter at 45,000.  I plan on a fluid change AND filter in another 5,000 miles and agree with you on staying to witness what happens if possible.  Ideally I would have done the filter at 45,000 too, but my original dealer was incompetent.  I've since moved on and get service done by another more reputable dealer, so I'm hopeful they follow the correct procedure at 90,000.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      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.

      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.
