What mine? 28,000 miles 1yr ownership now........I have spent 200.00 for a Transmission flush for my own well being....and recently spent 60.00 for 2qty sets of wiper blades? Truck drives and rides as perfect today as it did off the lot? 20mpg's mixed driving it's fit and finish is superb I am amazed at how good it drives after 28,000 miles in one year.......I might be the only one who got a good vehicle from GM HUH?

This truck must be the lottery winner I suppose!

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 guess i have to eat crow , the hunk of GM junk came back to life today ! Drove up to Canton Ohio on I 77 and my Silverado came to life , sounded like a old steam engine and shaking up front ! The noise started on the 50 MPH range and i took her up to 70 and you need ear plugs if you wanted to listen to the radio , i night as well had the windows down the noise was that bad ! Dear sweet Mary is just like Obama , two liars in a pod ! I will do a oil change in about 500 miles and there is a lot of things under the truck I want to check out ! I see no way this truck can take this punishment much longer and I have told GM that it is unsafe to drive but when one is a liar nothing bothers them !!!!!!!!!!!!

It is with all due respect I am writing this reply. My intent of writing the reply is for GM to get off their butt and fix their issue. After having been a 35 year owner of Chevy Trucks I recently tried a different brand - 6 months ago. Late last night I was driving home after a long week traveling, and I realized I was doing 80 miles an hour - with no shimmy shake or vibration. It was a comfortible ride. Two weeks ago my wife was riding in the truck and she mentioned it rode better than her 2017 CRV. To that point - my die hard Chevy brother-inlaw now owns a Ford F-150. You ask - why am I writing this reply - you bought something else. True - but I love Chevy Trucks. I just could not afford the time to constantly go in and try to get my truck to work properly. GM admits there is a issue - please do not insult me by telling me they do not have a fix. And it is still happening in 2017. My truck was a 2014......... GM - PAY ATTENTION - you have two diehard owners that have just given up and gone to different vehicles. We buy a vehicle to get and drive - for what we need to do - not to drive to the dealer to get it fixed........... If it happened to us, you can bet it is happening to less loyal customers. I happy with my new truck, no trips to the dealer. The only issue is that it is not a Chevy. My final point to GM, this week I was in Texas and I was shocked at the number of Nissan , Toy-auto trucks that were on the road. It was a dramatic increase from just a couple of years ago. I can only wonder who's market share they took!!!!! WAKE UP GM - YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE GOING ELSEWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!

Well GM now wants me to take my truck back to the dealer so they can compare it to a 2017 truck off the lot. I asked the GM Rep , what if the truck on the dealer's lot vibrates, does that make mine normal?? This should be interesting.

well drove my 2014 gmc crew cab 1500 today.it has 39xxx miles.

 

when i bought the truck noticed the vibration at 30xxx miles , was told it was tires. should've had them put tires on it before buying.

had new tires installed and same vibration from 45-75 on acceleration , cruse, or deceleration.

also bought a set of gm take off wheels. still vibration same speed ,rpm.

new road with windows up sounds like driving down a gravel road.

well long story short drove about 200 miles and on the way home came to a stop light and felt like an engine miss remind u i am not moving, this only happened for a couple seconds and gone.

drove to the next light and did it again, just for a couple seconds. know i have worked for a gm dealership for 15 years. this is the same vibration i would bet my axx. I dont know if converter vibration or something else in engine rotating assembly.I have been waiting patiently for a fix from gm. I think they are looking in the wrong spot. this just happened for the first time today that i noticed but allways had the vibration in v4 or v8.

really disappointed in this truck

.

rad leak at 37xxx miles. was not under warranty cause assembled in mexico.

 

vibration.

 

poor radio reception.

 

money wasted, not worth the head ache. the more i drive the more aggravated i become.

Got in my truck this morning to go golfing , turned onto St Rt 212 took it up to about 45 and sounded worse than a freight train ! Was like driving down a gravel road I changed speeds several times and the noise was still there, it has never did this before ! After golf drove up to Canton and truck was running quite and perty smooth . On return trip took up to 72 and VERY , VERY light vibration up front [ most people would not notice ] and ride was smooth !

This hunk of junk needs to be recycled into a boat anchor , seems every day it now does something else and i'm beging to think onstar has something to do with all these problems !!! I had a 2010 and one morning heading east on I 70 I for some reason had a can of pepsi sitting in the consol , well after about 40 mile I decided to pop the top and that dam thing exploded all over my truck so i'm thinking this problem has been around longer than most people think . I stopped at local dealer and they had to changed several settings , I ask how they got changed and got no reply !!!!! OnStar OnStar screwing with my truck !!!!!!!! and not the first time either , dirty bastards

During assembly there are push locks that resemble a star washer installed on the studs to keep the rotors seated.

 

It doesn't seem like common knowledge that they need to be removed when the wheel is installed.

Pardon my laziness, but don't have the time to scroll through 700+ pages. If anybody could recap if a solution was posted for my yr/make/model that'd be huge and a big thanks.

 

2014 double cab Z71
34xxx miles
33" all terrains

20x9 fuel mavericks

Noticed a vibration/shake a few thousand miles ago and it continues to get worse. Shakes my middle console pretty bad from roughly 65-80mph. From what I've scrolled through and found, possibly my drive shaft needs to be rebalanced?. Taking into dealership next week.

 

Thanks in advance.

No solution found but GM will most likely blame your wheels and tires, not being a party pooper but they are in denial and will find reason to blame non-original parts. Good luck

If they do not blame the wheels/tires they will just tell you all the trucks do this and it is normal.

 

And good luck complaining to GM. I have yet to receive any sort of communication from them regarding my open case.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By fm2176 · Posted

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
