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

Just a follow up, 2014 CC 4X4 SB high country 6.2. Dealer replaced all 4 gy with michelin's at about 6k. Vibration 100% gone. Have about 13k now, and the 70-80 vibration is back. They checked the balance, and are scratching heads. I believe it has something to do with tire compound. New tires corrected the problem 100% but after 5-6k miles it came back.

The truck is worse than before now after the dealer said it was fixed.

 

 

They told me there was a tire with a bubble in it, at high speed the bubble stretches and moves to a lower location near the tread. Therefore causing the vibration. The Dealer replaced the left rear tire. They dealer also Radial Force balanced all tires, they did have to rotate the tires on the rim to properly balance. The mechanic stated the truck drove ok or as normal, however did feel "Only road and some frame beaming which is normal". I disagree.

 

They performed visual multipoint inspection including tire & brake, etc. Drivetrain inspection, tires, suspension, exhaust, etc.

 

Mechanic said the vehicle is pulling at high speeds, the truck didn't pull when I drove it.

 

They also performed Wheel alignment.

 

I arrived at the dealer today to pick up my truck, at which I test drove it before giving the loaner back. The truck is the same or worse than when I brought it in. I left the truck with the Service Writer, he said he would talk to the managers at what can be done.

 

He called me back to say, they have done everything possible and nothing else can be done. I even mentioned trying Michellin tires, they said I can go buy them myself.

 

This is a Denali, should ride like a basic truck or way better. I have owned and driven many trucks old and heavier than mine, none of the vibrated at highway speeds.

 

To summarize, I am very disappointed.

This is crazy and illegal! Everyone who has a problem with there new vehical and Manufacture refuses to fix such a serious issue as a vehical shaking wheels, should contact NHTSA, BBB, and there lawyer!

I have tried working with GM and Dealer, and it resulted in nothing getting repaired or fixed.

A vehical that preforms mechanicaly different from others is not "Preforming as designed".

In fact that is a failure to provide warranty for your new vehical, or replace it with one that is not defective or broken.

If this is a transmission issue, IMHO, or whatever else GM is aware of.

GM needs to correct it and get our trucks fixed now!

I have started legal action, I have no patience left for lies and denials.

Reporting our defective Driveline issues to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association and BBB is our only way we will learn what is plaguing our trucks outside seeking a lawyer!

Good luck to you all that are waiting on GM to fit your trucks.

Talked to BBB today. Tomorrow he will be picking my arbitration date against GM. he said it should be at the end of the month. I will have to drive 3 hrs for the meeting so I hope it is worth it.

 

I also talked to service manager, he has not been contacted by anyone at GM on what to do next. I talked him into taking the driveshaft off and taking it to be balanced at a private shop.

 

Also The GM lady at the resolution center was to call me today, no call from her either.

This is getting hilarious! Legal action? Safety defect? Lol!

 

Just trade your truck in if you don't like the way it rides.

Are you for real!

My truck doesn't vibrate, it shakes! And the rear end feels like it is falling apart with 1-2-3-4 shift issues.

This truck was bought new, not used, not broken. So what r you saying man!

By the way I am a mechanic, and I repair defects from factories all the time, but if this truck was tested for quality and passed there is big issues going on with GM's Mexican truck plant!

GM either has issues with lazy quality personnel or they are knowingly releasing these vehicles to the dealerships. Considering that people are going to the dealer and driving several trucks before finding one that doesn't shake or vibrate it's probably the latter.

Same thing happened this morning that I previously posted about. The temperature out when I left about 7:30 AM to head to work was about 70 degrees. As soon as I got on the interstate 5 minutes later and got up to 70 mph, the steering wheel started vibrating and it subsided after about 5 minutes of driving down the interstate. Really f*****g strange dude............

Out of curiousity how severe is your vibration? I've test drove two, one vibrated and one didn't. But the one that did vibrate was pretty mild.

Don't you guys know that GM is just trying to appeal to the female demographic with the trucks that vibrate?

I'm 90% your issue is the tires being the wheel is shaking. Strange though

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
