Shake or Vibration Issues

[Harmholland]

I seriously need to put, as the first post, the problem persists through all k2 model year trucks (14-16). It's about every other page someone asks if it's been fixed for 2016 lol

I live in Europe so not as close to the "fire" as you. I was planning to buy a new 2016 GMC Sierra Denali, but I think I'll wait for the 2017 ford Raptor. The Raptor probably will have massage Seats, so i can decide for myself if want vibrations.

surprise surprise, they say its a bad tire, they ordered a new one and it will be there late tomorrow to be put on and re road tested on Wednesday or Thursday.... No word on the radio yet

Damn Jesse and I had high hopes you found a dealership that was going to actually try and fix it, not play the classic GM "it's a bad tire game".

I had those hopes too, but I guess just because they have their own opinions, doesn't mean they can do anything other than what GM allows. When the tire doesn't work, I'm sure they will try something else.

Well maybe they can fix your radio.

I thought I was lucky when, last year, the dealer balance my tires and my 2014 Sierra SLT stopped shaking. Recently it began again but in the 75-80mph range (18k on the odo). The dealer's mechanic says he cannot reproduce my concern and the dealer says they won't operate the vehicle at that speed. Take any Turnpike or Parkway in New Jersey and 70-75mph is the speed traffic is moving (65 mph speed limit). So unless you want to be the obstruction, you match traffic's speed. Do you think a call to GM customer care would even help?

 

After several emails with GM priority care, I have been referred to "GM customer experience managers" back at my dealer. I am supposed to be contacted by someone today abut my truck's shaking.

Not in my case. Blaming it on tires again, after they replaced them 10,000 km's ago...with no correction in the vibration (blamed it on weights when I brought it in during those times and rebalanced twice) now its the tires again....

Throwing my 0.02 out there again.

 

Hub bearings,

 

I am guessing these are Chinese units on these trucks.

 

They may not be failing but what if the races are not concentric to the center of the hub.

 

What would the pico show as the bearing rotation would have an out of round to the centerline of the axle?

Would it show a high spot on each revolution, just like an out of round tire? Is that why tires are not working all the time?

 

Has anyone had a hub replaced for vibration? Please speak up?

The Pico just shows a graph of the sensors readings, along with what the high readings are. Atleast that is what I have come to understand from my new servicing dealer. I believe the hubs have been brought up before, but I don't recall if anyone has had them replaced or where they are manufactured.

Damn, that sucks, this is my fourth attempt, I'm going to give hem until early to mid may to do whatever they want. If it's not fixed by then. It's getting lemon lawed as that will be about 1mo before my 1 year to file is up.

Jesse D, any chance you can bring this up with your newly found GM friends? See if they could tell from PICO the difference between a tire out of round or a hub out of round? If the hubs are made overseas, they may not be heat treated correctly if at all and distorting.

Sure, I'll ask the shop foreman when I pick the truck up... still not sure when exactly it will be, they said today or tomorrow, but I think they forgot to do something about the radio, so probably tomorrow or Friday

My complete rear axle was replaced and my vibration was eliminated. It was rotor to rotor - the full assembly.

I have an appointment for vibration...truck is only two months old. Do you have to wait and go through three separate attempts to fix, or can you go straight for a buyback after the first one?

most states require a minimum of 3, be aware in some states, if you take a loaner vehicle it doesn't count as an attempt. once you hit the max required, you have to send a final repair attempt notice to GM, they will then set up for an "engineer" to come look at your truck, do something, then claim its fixed but in all likelihood it won't be. so you then have to work with your dealer or an attorney about doing a buyback or repurchase
