Shake or Vibration Issues

ziemer · December 7, 2015

Has anyone ordered a '16 for their buy back replacement? Going thru it now and there's nothing in inventory that meets my criteria.

Also, I noticed something this weekend while towing the boat. The vibration was basically nonexistent in the console and was concentrated totally in the steering wheel. It's a fairly large boat so I'm sure the tongue weight is a few hundred pounds.

Dealer just called said truck was ready to be picked up. Pico test showed nothing..200 miles they drove only felt road vibration....Getting so frustrated...BBB and GM COMPANY NEXT....I WANT OUT OF THIS BS. DONT HAVE TIME TO KEEP DOING THIS CRAP.....ITS SO MESSED UP...SO FAR, 1ST TIME REBALANCE, 2ND VISIT 4 NEW TIRES, 3RD VISIT PICO...ABOUT 15 DAYS THEY HAVE HAD MY TRUCK AND NOTHING...THEY HAVE HAD IT LONGER THAN ME....

Wow, sucks man. Feel your pain, if they buy it back. Are you going to get a 2016 replacement truck or just walk away from the deal into a different brand? Now other question is when you get a replacement truck, Your warranty starts from 0 miles or on whatever miles you left over the old truck?

They bought back my 14 & I got a 16 replacement and am beyond happy....Yes your warranty starts fresh, its basically a new car purchase.

A 2016 Yukon owner just made the same observation is this thread: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?/topic/162779-2015-YUKON-NOISE-IN-CABIN

Important clue?

I have a 16 on order because there were no trucks around to replace my 14 with. Fingers crossed it not a shaker.

Old Bill now goes down the highway at any speed he wants knowing that vibrations were just all a bad dream. How is it now in the smooth Tundra lane?

Smooth sailing

.... However the SA said there was a software recall for the 4wd system, something about 4wd engaging at cold start (don't have the work order at the moment). After it was all done, I swear the truck drives smoother and the vibration greatly reduced, if not complete gone. Not sure if it was due to the software recall, or coincidence, or if it'll solve the vibration issue that everyone else is experiencing. Just thought I throw it out there.

That is interesting, I have always suspected the smooth road jitter software but hey a fix is a fix and if it works for you that is great !!!!

What was approximate lead time? 8 weeks?

Yeah, keep crossing your fingers. I am sure it will have a major positive effect on the outcome. And if it is another shaker, go through this crap all over again.

anyone else here notice the rear axle isn't lined up with the body 100%? I noticed when putting on my mudflaps the right rear tire sits farther towards the rear by about a fingers width. Wonder if that has anything to do with alignment issues with the rear end?

They said sometime in mid to late jan so yes about 8 weeks.

Its an expression. You dont have to be insulting.

If you have a 16 on order stay on top of the dealer. I had one on order and after 8 weeks GM still hadn't picked up the order.

After I realized my vibration came back intermittently, I'm seriously considering trading in, I'm not sure for what though. Maybe a couple year old dmax? Hmm...

No insult was intended. I just find it hard to believe that you guys are willing to take yet another gamble, knowing that GM has done very little to address and eliminate these issues. There is someone on this forum who went through three different trucks hoping that he would finally get a good one, and they all had vibration issues. If vibration problems were as rare on these trucks as some claim, getting three trucks in a row with vibration issues would be like winning a lottery jackpot. I think the problem is a lot more common than it may appear.

If only 0.1% of these trucks had vibration problems, and assuming random distribution of the defective trucks in the whole population, then the odds of getting three vibrating trucks in a row would be 1/1000 X 1/1000 X 1/1000 which is 1 in a billion! These odds are lower than those for winning a power ball lottery jackpot!
