Called the dealership to schedule the installation of the drive shaft. They said that this will fix the issue. They also said that about the head liner removal and re-insulating the top of the vehicle, which did nothing except leave grease stains and loose seat belts. I will update once they replace the part. Anybody else already have the replacement??

So checked on mine today. There is a bulletin of some kind out for this problem. They are pulling my roof skin and doing something with it. Bad thing is I have to wait a week cause their lead body guy is on vacation. At least they gave me a nice loaner. 2015 ltz crew cab silverado

They pulled my roof as well. It did not fix anything. It made a huge mess and now it rattles. They did show me that they added insulation, but it did not fix the problem with the noise.

HI All,

 

First time here. I have had my 2015 Denali for two months and this has been driving me crazy since the first drive home. Anyway, GM replaced 2 of my 22" rims and thought they were not circular. Problem did not go away. So today, they took it back and mentioned the issue with the roof too. I guess there was a GMC service bulletin issued on 29 August regarding the "droan and pressure" sensation. Does anyone have access to this document? I would like it for my records. Will be picking it up tomorrow...will keep you posted if it's resolved.

 

By the way, I have found the problem to be worst at 38-50 mph. 43 mph being the worst speed. I am just so glad I found this forum...I have been going nuts!

Dealership called and said the replacing of the drive shaft did not fix the issue. Shocker. They have another engineer coming tomorrow, but I picking the Yukon up tonight so they have to start another service ticket. The dealership says that GM needs to buy it back, GM says the dealership makes that decision. Anybody know who's call it is? I defiantly feel like the little guy up against corporate America. I am about to wrap my truck with pictures of lemons and GM logos with a message that says " call me before you spend $67k on a Yukon.

Fourknuckles could you say what dealership has been working on it and where they are at? Would like to give their contact info to my dealership if need be so that the guys here know what they are up against.

GM - I am not a mechanic, but what portion of Yukon/Tahoe research and development identified that the driveshaft will relieve the pressure folks are experiencing. Did you do any R&D on these vehicles cabin noise and pressure. If so, break-out the stats and get the job done. GM dealerships attempting to fix this issue don't have a clue what's going on. Send them what they need to fix the problem. Customers that purchase these vehicles don't have a 70K tree in the back yard.

 

4 Knucks - this ia a load of s***. GM advertises a vehicle and warrantees its service, now you folks are having to go through this after buying the vehicle in good faith, totally unacceptable. I don't have my warranty book currently with me, but I did read something a couple of days ago about the GM buy-back program. Break open your warranty booklet and see what it says. But it would make sense if the vehicle is not performing to standards and is becoming a safety issue, that GM versus the dealership should assume responsibility since vehicle assembly was at the factory.

I am not experiencing the problem, but Tahoe owners are not off the hook. Again, get familiar with your state lemon laws; some states identify after 3 visits for the same issue over a period of time a vehicle could be identified as a lemon. Some states may identify more or less days. I also read that a vehicle with a safety issue could be identified as a lemon after 1 visit. Get smart on that stuff cause this looks like this is where you're going.

 

All perspective Yukon/Tahoe owners, ensure you test drive your vehicle at varying speeds before you decide to purchase. Inquire if the dealer is up to speed on this issue with the cabin pressure. If not, tell them to go study on the subject because the deal is dependent upon a fix for this issue.

Just received a copy of the GM Service Bulletin. Here's the deal: "The body booming issue may be more noticeable when the engine is in V4 mode." Further, "These concerns could be caused by the roof sheet metal no longer being attached to the roof bows (1). On the trucks with a sunroof, it may be noticed that the rear edge of the sunroof glass is considerably lower than the roof (2). This is due to the roof sheet metal being detached from the roof bow directly behind the sunroof opening (3)."

 

My Denali is at the dealer now and they noticed the sheet metal was no longer attached. They are fixing it now. Will keep you guys posted if it helps. I am not taking my vehicle back from them unless this is fully resolved. The pressure is so bad, I am getting headaches driving it. I am a business owner and do not have time for this nonsense. $73,000...

jasondenali15 - Maybe based on your input, ".....when the engine is in V4 mode", I can sort of see GM looking at the driveshaft. But GM knew about the V4 mode thats why they attempted a driveshaft fix with 4 Knucks. That didn't work, the attempt may have been the cheaper route.

 

Now with this bulletin, sounds like an issue with the sunroof not mating with the sheet metal. A fix, maybe increase the height of the sunroof glass rear edge.

 

Everyone having this issue, do you have a sunroof? Cause if not, this bulletin won't work for you.

jasondenali15 - the sheet metal on your Denali was no longer attached. How the heck could that happen and you not know. I overlooked this portion, this bulletin can apply to folks without a sunroof.

 

Thx for the info jasondenali15

Ok, so they replaced the drive shaft yesterday. I went and drove it with the GM rep that came in, and the noise was still present. She agreed that she heard it. I left the vehicle overnight, because they had an engineer coming in with a "peco" (not sure that's correct) device to test the drive shaft. I just called the dealer, and they said the vehicle is fixed. He said the only noise is the "normal" sound from shifting from V4 to V8. Sounds suspicious to me, but I am cautiously optimistic. I am picking the vehicle back up around 11, and will update then.

The roof sheet metal is coming off of the crossbars on the frame. The inside liner would obscure actually seeing it. You can just hear and feel it.

 

On a side note, I am in a 2015 Tahoe for a rental and notice something similar...not as bad as mine. I am starting to think this is a bigger issue for 2015s.

    • I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need
    • I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
