They wouldn't touch this thread with a 10' pole. That tells me they know there is a problem....

You know why that tech isn't on this thread? Bc GM is actually acknowledging, silence is consent! They don't want that tech saying anything that might be used in court.. The minute they seen this forum say lawyers, they pulled that techs plug.. You know what this forum and it's members need.... Visibility, like news worthy visibility, I'm not talking local, I'm talking 60 minutes, investigative...

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've been poking and prodding to at least 10 auto rags, newspapers and online auto news sites. One reply so far with a guy asking to experience the vibration himself. He even said he was going to be in LA, Las Vegas and Detroit - I just needed to find someone. He has different contacts at GM than any of these "engineers" or anyone else that's been involved. If you are interested red, let me know.

Do we have a count of how many trucks on here are affected? Whom is the right reporter?

 

Since this isn't endangering anyones life my bet is no one really cares.

GM is fully aware of the problem, after I sent them a nasty response to their how is everything going inquiry after my first service/vibration repair attempt I got a call from a GM rep that told me they are aware of the vibration issues and are working on a fix and expect one soon. I believe it to be bull shit to pacify their unhappy customers but I guess time will tell, I really wish I would have recorded that conversation but they caught me off guard at work when they called especially since I was never expecting a response in the first place.

You said it, no one in danger of dying, no one cares. GM wont care until it affects their profits if it ever does.

OmahaBen is correct, no one died....YET!. However, the phone calls that members have gotten are just to pacify and quiet the masses. Im retired military of 29 years. I've always told my soldiers that the reason our organization is successful is because of THEM!! NOT me. That being said, until a GM Vice President of sales, service or wherever calls and contacts one of the forum members here with this problem, nothing will ever change. GM, will put together some half-hearted fix and say they've done something. There's a member who has someone with contacts, that's good, even great, but he/she is a GM rep... Their loyalty is to that company we know that.

What we as GMC/Chevy truck owners need is visibility, national visibility. Until the little men speak and stand up to be heard, NOTHING will ever change. We have to make them change, one way or the other. Im gonna do some research here in WA, I know one of our news channels has an investigative reporter, maybe he can point me in the right direction...

I regret buying this hecho de Mexico shit box on wheels, I traded a great trouble free Nissan in on it and should have waited for the new Titan XD with the 5 liter cummins. If GM doesn't fix it soon I'm jumping brands back to Nissan or Toyota and never looking back.

I went from factory 20's to aftermarket 20's am i pissing into the wind if I bring my truck in for the vibration issue?

Some dealers have still worked on trucks even with aftermarket parts, others will tell you to pound sand and come back with the truck in original configuration, I kept all my oem parts and put everything back to stock and it didn't change the vibration, that the dealer ultimately deemed operating/vibrating within spec. Unfortunately the dealers hands are tied because GM wont pay them for warranty work unless they vibrate above a certain spec on the PICO scope.

You know, I haven't experienced what the others have. But from what I've read. I'd be livid, I'm pretty crafty with my writing, and verbiage. I'll go straight to the top.. Nothing could stop me.. Just bc I don't have a problem, I'm gonna do my damdest to help. I just need to figure out a good number that reflects the amount affected by this problem...

I believe one of the other sites. maybe silveradosierra.com took a survey and it was a 50/50 split from the respondents. There are quite a few sites that have similar threads but nothing like the size of this one.

Yeah, I just googled Sierra vibration issues. A site popped up showing that this issue may have first surfaced around 2013.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
