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

I actually ended up with an upgraded truck and there was not fight my dealer took care of it for me in less than two hours - however they had tried to resolve my issue over the course of four visits - I don't know if it was the mileage going up on the loaner or the fact my dealer was sort of put out that GM had not even released the new vibration detection system to the dealer at that point about a month ago.

none as of yet and I already have more miles on it than I had on the other. Trucks were even built during the same week in August. I would go in and talk to the manager at the dealership and try to get a good working relationship going and see how far he is willing to go to bat for you when you present your opinions and options to them. One thing though go in educated but do not use I read it on the internet as a reference. The dealer is your best arbitrator before you ever seek to lemon a vehicle. Most really want to keep you coming back and will go to most ends to accomplish that. I appreciate my dealer and have bought multiple times from them because of the service and after sales contact they keep with their customers. Plus when you buy they F&I explain everything they are getting plus everything you need to expect and should get.

Excellent thanks for the advice. So far everything has been good. The sales manager even said if he had to he would put me in another vehicle so I will make sure I don't lose my cool.

Spoke with GMC chat tonight about my shake issue. They said they spoke to the dealership and that it was normal for this vehicle! I said your telling me the bad shaking like it has a bad wheel is normal? They said yes. What a freaking joke. Guess I'm back to the dealership to fix it or lemon law it. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

If it is normal for these truck to shake and vibrate, why doesn't GM advertise them as such? They should show shaking steering wheels and passenger seats and a happy owner driving the truck commenting how "normal" the truck feels. What a bunch of hypocritical crap.

tells me they know what is is now or at least they believe they do. I would send GM and the dealership a letter with the RO numbers and ask for it in writing that the vehicle is vibrating as designed. Call the number in the rear of the manual and start arbitration imho since you have both GM and Dealer now suggesting it is normal.

My vibration issues were resolved with new Michelins they put on for nothing. Still have the drone when holding at certain speeds as the v4 kicks in and the truck shifts to overspeed. They offered me another truck and I refuse to go through the pain in the ass I went through. Most of the trucks they put out have issues. The drone I guess I can live with. The computers are set up for max MPG and we cant change it. Too bad that reading this forum is a prerequisite to buying a GMC truck. I wish I had. I can deal with it for two years then off to another. Haven't figured out what that another is.

I'm guessing this issue is with the early production trucks??? Mine was built 12/13 and is smooth as can be. I feel a very slight vibration when V4 kicks in at certain speeds but to me, it's normal and not bad enough to complain about.

 

Hope yall get your issues worked out so you can :driving:

I will be picking mine up from the dealer today. They changed all for tires and put on Michelins. The service manager said he drove it before and after and said it is a night and day difference. We shall see. Ill have a 35 mile ride home from the dealer to determine if it is fixed. Will let y'all know. On the positive side... I have brand new Michelins. The truck has 12600 miles on it so I wont have to change tires for a while.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
