Funny how the GM folks have abandoned this thread, and calling GM customer service is a complete waste of your time.

 

funny I was thinking the same thing last night. So when I called GM numerous times it was like they were reading answers to me.notice most of these people you call know how to drive a car and that's about it. Maybe the front from the back but they are working a job and doing what they are told to do! They are just waiting for the weekend.There's a song there somewhere! LOL. Edited by WLC

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

Would driving wooden wedges between frame and body parts help isolate the problem? Just a thought.It would be nice if someone found the problem and this thread dried up!

Now that people with 16's are reporting the same issue, I doubt the thread is going to dry up. My truck was $54K, another $1K to have it right wouldn't have deterred me from buying it. But after going through this I will never buy another GM product, and I am sure I'm not alone in that sentiment.

Where are these reports of 2016 Silverado's or Sierras vibrating ? I didn't think they had hit the streets yet, do you have any links ?

Yep...That's me. My car is back in the shop for the 3rd time this week. My dealership has been fantastic - they are realists and know that it's not their fault it can't be fixed. They have a GM field engineer on site and I hope to hear something today or tomorrow. I picked up my XL Denali on 9/15. I have reached out to approximately 10 automobile rags/online review sites and started a Facebook group to try to get even the slightest more attention on this issue. I need this space and love the truck - otherwise I would have tossed the keys back to them after week one. I am also very thankful that I leased it so, worst case scenario, I walk away after 3 years and don't take any hits financially on how they will depreciate, especially once the market becomes more educated on these issues. I did have a guy reach out to me from my inquiries asking if anyone was in LA, Detroit or Vegas so that he could drive one. He has contacts at GM that most don't and I had really hoped someone would have raised their hand. I will keep everyone posted.

But does anyone know of any reports of issues with 2016 SIlverado's and Sierras, the claims that the only changes are cosmetic are they factual or pure speculation ?

Ok. A follow up to my vibration issues. I brought my truck in on Monday night. I received a call Tuesday morning and I was told that I had two tires that were way out of the allowable range on the Road Force balancer. They had to order two tires. They received the two tires this morning. I got a call this afternoon and was told that these NEW tires have the same issue. Now they ordered two more. I told them to order six. Maybe they'd find two good ones out of the bunch. Then again, how long will they stay good. The tires weren't like this when I bought the truck (7300 miles). The problem just became progressively worse. If this keeps going I may have to trade the tires in on a "better"set.

 

"Precision made" truck with cheap, sub-standard tires. Nice. Really helps the reputation.

 

FYI: The tires are Continental CrossContact™ LX20

Tire Size: P275/55R20

Yeah for sure, but stuff like this means that the problem is becoming more known they have obviously recognized the potential to make money. The whole problem with GM coming up with a fix stems from the fact that most people are unaware of it until they experience it for themselves and start searching the web which hasn't affected GM's sales. I thought about getting a billboard right by one of the dealerships posting the web address for this forum something like. "Thinking about buying a new GM truck?" check out this forum first or do a web search for "vibrating silverado". If you can't put pressure on the manufacture to fix the issue perhaps the dealerships can. It all comes down to money, affect their ability to make it and they'll do something about it, especially in the light truck market where their highest margins and most profit comes from. Where I'm at the Chevrolet and GMC dealership are right next to one another, different owners.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By fm2176 · Posted

      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.

      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.

      That’s what I’m wondering is if the stock backspacing of the factory wheels will clear new upper control arms and such
