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

Had mine done Saturday. Takes about a half hour. Just a reprogram to the computer.

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

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. Chevy pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Silverado 1500, and we got the first official look.   Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/2027-chevrolet-silverado-official-first-look-specs/   The quick hits: LT is dead. The new core trim is just called "Silverado." Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally gets the 10-speed. ZR2 moves to standard 35s with front and rear lockers. Over 60 inches of dash display on ZR2 and High Country, passenger screen included. Seven trims, three lifted from the factory: ZR2, Trail Boss, and a new Custom Trail Boss.   So let's get into it: 5.7 and 6.6 instead of holding out for a 6.7. Right call? Killing the LT name after all these years: bold, or a mistake? Does the new look land for you, or is it too safe? No power numbers at reveal. Smart tease, or frustrating? What are you ordering on day one?   Drop your first impressions below.

      Diesel or gas?  The 37s will obviously, drastically reduce mpg, but the gasser will take a bigger hit to mpg, and power.  Rough guess, but I'd estimate at least a  2mpg hit on the diesel, and up to 4on the gasser. Maybe more.    I wouldn't sweat a gear change on a duramax at all, and unlikely on the gasser either. You're obviously not concerned with acceleration or towing, and the 10spd will find itself in the right gear without much hunting, if any.    If towing, mpg and acceleration are a concern, you're doing the wrong mods.  Either leave it alone, or do the lift/tires and let the chips fall where they may.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I understand. It is disturbing to think a manufacture asks so much and gives so little in engineering support. This is not a GM issues, this is a greed issue and one the ALL practice.    My intent was not to remove the wind from anyone's sail but rather to point out the areas deficient so that they can be discussed with improvements the goal. But to do that you have to know the truth and what that truth is.    The commercial interest are honed in on a few select issues in which they control all the variables and are not forthcoming in the least with their customers about the details. Failure is the only thing that drives these people to improvement. One way not to fail it to manage public "expectations". The set a bar they can clear and put their thumbs under the suspenders with chest puffed.... Only the internal data tells the story fully. As we don't have access to that for decades then we have to generate it ourselves. UOA's with data that matters.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.
