Got a recall notice in the mail yesterday. Nothing to do with shake or vibration. Just curious if anyone else got it. GM recall # 16007. Concerns module which controls airbag and pretensioner deployment. Solution is to reprogram SDM with new software. Have an appointment this Friday am. Just curious if any others got this notice. Btw, I drive a 2015 Silverado LTZ CC 6.2L/8 spd 4x4.

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 understand, I didn't say it did! I am simply telling the forum what i changed on MY truck and now i have the shake. I do not have a shake anything like what most people are stating its more of a vibration and sound. When my truck was stock i had no shake or vibration. After the lift I do. So i know i didn't bend the driveshaft in the process. Also i have the 2 piece drive shaft which is a completely different setup and its steel not aluminum like yours.

My drive shaft is steel also.

So I delivered my '16 Silverado Z71 to the dealer this AM, 2nd visit to the dealer for the "shakes". Young guy from the service dept just called and says truck is ready to be picked up. He said a tech and service manager both drove the truck, and both experienced the shake. He said it was determined the shake is caused by the tire treads, and there is nothing they can do about it. I asked why nothing can be done. Guy says there's nothing they can do about the tire treads, and I can speak with the service manager when I come in to pick up the truck.

 

What are these guys trying to pull here? Are tires now supposed to cause a vehicle to shake/vibrate, and that's now part of the purchase agreement?? I'm pissed to the point now, that I have the fk'n shakes such that it's difficult to type this!! Am I gonna be told that I'm supposed to accept the tires, and the shakes?

 

Sorry for the rant fella's but I'm pissed... Think I gotta calm down some before I go to pick up my $45K vibrator :o(

 

Oh... any advice on this would be muchly appreciated.... thanks

I have 2 recalls on my truck. MFing ratchet azz tires too. So let me get this straight. My tires will cause me to have a wreck and at that time my airbags might not deploy. WELL fk me up and down the street then. Why even have this truck? It intends to kill me. Thank you GM. FMFFS

Thankfully I got rid of the tires about 2 weeks ago. Bought a set of Cooper Discoverer ATP 275/60r20 and DT gave me credit for the Continentals. And for all of you who have crappy leaf springs, there is a TSB for that too. They don't lube them anymore, they replace because those are defective too.

 

GM Recall #:2016007
NHTSA #:16V651
Date Issued: Sep 08, 2016
Recall Title: Frontal Airbag And Pretensioner Non Deploy

Recall Description:

General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2014-2017 model year Chevrolet Silverado LD, GMC Sierra LD, Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax, Chevrolet Caprice Police, and Chevrolet Corvette vehicles, 2014-2016 model year Buick Lacrosse, Chevrolet Spark EV, and Chevrolet SS vehicles and 2015-2017 model year Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade Cadillac Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Suburban, and Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles. The sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) in these vehicles, which controls airbag and pretensioner deployment, contains a software defect which may prevent the deployment of frontal airbags and pretensioners in certain rare circumstances. If the frontal airbags and seatbelt pretensioners do not deploy when required, there is an increased risk of injury to occupants in a crash.

Safety Risk Description:

If the frontal airbags and seatbelt pretensioners do not deploy when required, there is an increased risk of injury to occupants in a crash.

Repair Description:

Dealers will reprogram the SDM with new software that eliminates this defect free of charge. In vehicles with any previous deployment events recorded in the SDM, the dealers will replace the existing SDM with a new SDM containing the latest software free of charge.

Recall Status: INCOMPLETE

GM Recall #:2016049
NHTSA #16T016
Date Issued: Oct 03, 2016
Recall Title: Tire Recall
Recall Description:
Continental Tire the Americas, LLC (CTA) has determined that a safety defect exists in certain P-metric all season tires supplied to General Motors as original equipment on certain full size truck models. The subject tire was also sold in the replacement market.
Safety Risk Description:
Affected tires may exhibit localized tread wear, excessive vibration, noise and bulging in the tread area. With continued use, the tires could experience a partial or full tread/belt loss, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Repair Description:
CTA will notify all known customers of the campaign and will provide instructions on how to identify the subject tires. Dealers will inspect the tires and replace those within the recalled population, free of charge.
Recall Status: INCOMPLETE

2016 Sierra Denali short box. 5.3L

 

Noticed a vibration with 26 miles on it taking it off the lot. Dealer said flat spots on tires and give them a couple hundred miles. 75-80 MPH is the worst. Definitely feels like wheel frequency, not driveshaft. I've had bad U joints before and know what driveshaft vibration frequency feels like.

 

First visit, 600 miles, replaced 2 tires and rotated a third on the rim. Definite improvement.

 

Second visit, 3000 miles, they said one of the rears they put on as a replacement went bad.

 

Third visit, 6500 miles, different dealer this time. Manager takes it for a drive and finds vibration. They road force test all four tires, and they're all single digits. Re-mount and "no vibration detected. Operating within spec."

 

Third visit was today. I'm not optimistic the problem is fixed. Will know more tomorrow.

 

If there's a fourth visit and it's not fixed, WI lemon law kicks in and I'm going after GM.

 

I really really love lots about my Denali, but I really really miss my Titan for other stuff. Never had any mysteries with that one...

 

So you guys chasing shocks/struts, that's probably not it. Magnetic ride has the same issue.

I can say that the denalis I've driven are substantially better than my current truck (Silverado LT), it is still there but to a much lesser degree. The replacement truck I'm getting is a 2017 Denali specifically because it is better than the ones with the standard suspension

How many miles are on the Truck and what did they try on the first visit? Because the majority of folks who brought their Trucks in had some kind of Balancing and eventually a new tire(s)... Some have had multiple FULL sets replaced all under warranty... Most dealers play with the tires as a first shot and these guys won't do ANYTHING?... I would take it to another dealer if possible..

 

Good Luck..

So is there anyone here with a crew cab and 6.5' standard bed 2wd? this is the only model with the 2 piece drive shaft. Reson i ask is that it is a much different setup from a single piece driveshaft and it still has the vibration. Not as bad as some videos posted but its there.

Thanks for that link Jesse D. I'm keeping a file on my shake related issues and info on that link will be included.

 

Yesterday the service dept gave me the "it's the tires" story. Could be bad tires I guess... I dunno. Just over 1500 miles on the truck now, and service manager says drive truck to 2500 miles and call if the vibes still exist. Service manager told me the tread pattern on the Bridgestone A/Ts is aggressive and the lugs are causing the vibes. We discussed that for a bit, and we agreed to disagree. I'm sure he knows the tread pattern has absolutely nothing to do with the vibes, but he has a job to do. His job is to wear ya down and hope ya go away... not gonna happen.

 

Anyways, SM said at 2500 miles the service dept. will switch tires/wheels from another truck to see if there's an improvement. Would be nice if shit tires is all it is, but I'm not real optimistic about that.

 

So until I hit the 2500 mile mark guess I'll just keep an eye open for the TSB on the shakes LOL

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
