Thanks for the link... I've already researched this and have paperwork printed out. I just have to wait till the 3rd trip back to mail the certified letter to GM. Then they have 10 days to get my truck back in. I've also read that they might be quicker to do a buy back then because a lemon law claim looks pretty bad on their record.

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 have the same issue with the vibration on my 2014 I got the truck January 2014 took it in the first time with 800miles on it they put tires on the truck the tires been road forced 3 times still did it took it back a gm rep was there said they did not have a problem thats what the service advisor said to me at this time I had no aftermarket accessories I took the truck thinking that there would be a fix I waited for a year took it to another dealer they told me they could feel vibration and it's the nature of the beast and would be annoying but didn't state it on paper but they did bring up the aftermarket accessories bed cover, bug deflector, and air bags, could be the cause of my concerns I took them off called the dealer where I got the truck asked them about the vibration they told me they had to call gm they would call me back before the end of the day they never did so I called the next morning they told me gm said its normal and there is no fix i filed a claim with the bbb I took it to another dealer the service manager took it for a test drive with me he said that he can feel the vibration too before hand I tried to take it to the dealer where I bought the truck they said they can no longer work on it because I filed for lemon law I was wanting them to drive it with out the accessories on it after about 2hrs of driving the truck with out stoping I get a feeling kinda like motion sickness never had any feelings like that in an automobile I have had 5 gm pickup trucks 3 of them new never had anything like this happen

I had vibration problems but solved them myself after three trips to the dealer.. Drivers side shock tower bolts were loose and that helped. I lifted the truck and found the passenger sway bar link was loose. I believe the loose link caused most of the vibration.

Your post just underscores the importance of simple checks first.

The dealer "fixed" my vibrating headliner last week. Today it started vibrating again. Ugg!

Well add my truck to the List. Have 14 silverado 1500 wit 3.5 lift in front and 2.5 in rear with 20" wheels and nitto Terra grapples. All installed by dealer when I bought the truck a month ago with 230 miles. Vibration started at 571 miles, now sitting with 4462 and dealer told me they wouldn't service my truck because they've had the same issues with several 14 silverados. So they didn't want to work on it until they found a fix. What should I do?

Trade your truck in for a new 2015 and then, when it gets to 571 mile mark, trade it in for a new 2016.

Financially that would do more harm than good. Basically I'm asking if the dealer can deny service based on other Trucks having same issues, even though service tech said all of them had been on oem wheels and tires. Other members stated that oem wheels and tires were partially the issue, which I do not have. Its frustrating to know they won't look at my truck based on things they've tried on other trucks with similar issues and won't even double check their work from lift, wheels, and tires to make sure it's not an easy fix.

I had 20's on my first 14 that was bought back... They changed everything but the rims too.. From 3 shafts to a complete rear end and no fix. Maybe some of the vibration issues are with the 20's. I went to the dealer at one point and he said that he couldn't even order a truck with 20's for about 2 months because of an "unknown" issue. They replaced 3 of the 4 tires on my 20's. Now I have a z71 ltz and it has the 18's and 13k miles now vibration free... I put LT Terra grapplers on myself at 800 miles too.

It was just a joke. Your case looks like a classic case for a buyback. I would contact a good lawyer and go from there.

I second pm26's advice. May want to try another dealer and also contact GM directly before you go the atty route - trading trucks could even be cheaper (just kidding). Sometimes one (atty.) letter will get action. Will dealer put their refusal in writing?

PI1354A is not a TSB. Won't see it anywhere but GM service info system unless someone with a copy or access to GM info posts it. It is "preliminary information"

For what it's worth, there is a GM bulletin (don't recall the number) that basically says to check for any aftermarket parts (wheels, lift kits, etc.) and is found, essentially tell the customer that t.hey can't address the vibration. Best thing you can do is remove all the aftermarket stuff and put it back to stock. Then they have no excuse not to address it.

I had a vibration on the highway yesterday. Hadn't driven the truck in two days and it's bone stock. On the way back the vibration appeared to have stopped.

 

I have no idea...

 

Should have bought a Tundra. :D

      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.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou
