Thank you for the extra advise. I am still at the beginning stages and have a couple of weeks to complete my claim. My wife keeps telling me not to pay anyone to try to fix it since I only have 15,000kms on the truck and it's only 1 yr old. All I know is that I will never buy a GM product again after this and the way GM treats it's customers.

Act now! Mileage will hurt above 20k

 

Best of luck.

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

while I'd never get one because the front end doesn't look good to me, sounds like you got a good truck otherwise. Good luck with the Yohota.

just like with power equipment.... function over form!

My 2016 Denali 6.2L/8sp started the AFM shake (rumble strips) at 30k miles... it's now at the dealer for the 2nd time, they couldn't get it to repeat the condition the first time. The service manager right away said torque converter, then they changed their tune and are blaming the GM Performace center designed Borla exhaust... Borla is awesome, they are sending a new exhaust to prove it's not their product.

 

The dealer says there's a problem and my truck is throwing several codes, but aren't sure what the issue is... I guess the exhaust is them trying to eliminate a cause. Anyone know how this is going to play out? Am I pretty much screwed, and stuck with the shake monster?

 

P.S. Deactivating the the AFM is not an option, I need the fuel efficiency since I drive 50 miles to work..

You need fuel efficiency? That's why you got a full size truck with a 6.2 liter engine? Don't make me laugh. Here is a fuel efficient vehicle for you: 2017 Ford Focus SE, 1.0 liter 3 cylinder turbo, 6 speed manual transmission. They are selling them brand new here in Florida for $12,700 (sticker is about $19,000).

You're a helpful one aren't you? I get 20-23 mpg with this truck and maintaining what I get is important to me. I pull a 19' Ranger, and a 21' Yetti fish house so I need the truck.. Can you tell me the effect disabling the AFM has on MPG's? That would be more useful than your above post.

So, since the Magnuson law ( i dont know spelling​ off hand) where aftermarket parts dont void warranty, they have loopholed and basically refuse to work on the trucks while an aftermarket part is on it. So, youll have to put the stock parts back on. Happened​ to may others in this post. Lift kits, leveling kits, rims, ECT ECT. Ect. As for mpg, i remember reading around 13 mpg unloaded. Ive never done it myself personally. GL.

This is my first post and after seeing the duration and number of pages on this one thread, I'm not hopeful that my issue will ever be resolved.

 

I bought a 2016 GMC Denali 3500HD Crew DRW 4x4 on 3/31/16 (traded in a 2013 black 3500HD Denali Crew Dually 4x4 that never exhibited any vibration). I've had both steering wheel & wheel/tire vibration problems with this truck since I bought it new from Beck and Masten GMC in Houston, TX.

 

The first time it was brought in was on 4/19/16 with 579 miles. I've attempted to let the service department resolve this issue 6 separate times where they have used the Pico, and RFB'd the tires each time. No tires or parts have been replaced to date. The truck now has 17,999 miles and it still has the same issues - extreme vibration of entire vehicle at 60+mph and steering wheel vibration/wobble from 35+mph. The truck is back in the shop currently and the service manager left a voicemail on Friday that they had found one bent inside wheel in the rear. I'm frustrated beyond belief.

 

Without me having to read the 700+ pages in this post, can someone summarize what the causes/fixes have been?

 

Also, how I can contact the regional GM customer service manager or whoever I need to talk with?

I think you'll find that the AFM system doesn't improve mileage much, if any at all. On my '14 I noticed zero difference when deactivating it. Each truck is different, but based on experience from members of this forum, even if it does affect mileage it will be by 1 mpg or less.

when I had my 15 Silverado i saw about a 4-5 MPG loss when deactivating the AFM system when towing it lost anywhere from 4-6 MPG. Now My ecoboost can pull a trailer with equipment and only lose about 1 MPG hahaha and I have no AFM to deal with and no shake :)

How bad is the vibration on a scale of 1-10. The reason I ask is because since I've owned my 2017 Sierra, I've noticed a low humming sound at slow speeds and at times I can see the passenger seat belt vibrating. So I'm wondering, if it's typical road noise, surface conditions, or am I experiencing the same type of vibration issues others are complaining about?

Does that include the unidentifiable Whistle the trucks makes at 60+ and obtrusive road noise too? How about that suicide door seal FERD? Pretty sweet it didn't work for shit with steel I can only imagine nonsense now with AL.......

Nope, I know they all don't just give em awhile! Absolute garbage on the suicide door! I just looked at a FERD 250 with it and the lineup mismatch on those doors was insane! So glad my work dumped FERD Years ago...Couldn't imagine how much trouble the EB's would have given us. Dude, I work with loves the ride on his except for the whistle?

      I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!

      Gas Prices

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.

      Electrical /Immobilizer Data- Battery Voltage (V) Test malfunction

      By Aussie2500HD · Posted

      Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA
