I chimed in earlier at the beginning of this thread as a shopper about to purchase a 2015 Yukon struggling with the cabin pressure and buffering. We gave up the search after all the confirmation from this forum and etc. in fact we have yet to test drive a GM 15 without the issues (there have been at least 50). We moved on to try Toyota Sequoia - they too are experiencing similar issues (re: dealership informed). Now we are about to settle for a clearanced out 2013 Yukon. Anyone care to share experiences with that year model?

 

Well, I must say you are determined. I probably would have given up after I drove the 4th or 5th one in a row that made the same noise. Not quite sure how or why you made it to 50+.

ANYONE ELSE HEARING LIKE A BUFFERING SOUND? MAKES YOUR EARS FEEL LIKE THE WINDOW IS DOWN, BUT IT IS NOT? I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY HEARD IT. WE GOT IN ANOTHER 2015 YUKON XL AND HEARD THE

I've had my 2015 Yukon XL back for 1 day after it was in the shop for over 3 weeks (this time). The buffeting is the exact same, with no improvement whatsoever. I am having 500 cheap business cards p

Hi all,   I created an online survey to better quantify the issues surrounding our trucks. The goal is to get more accurate numbers. The survey is open to *everyone*, including those with no vibra

FYI- was a lot of test drives, and over a 5 month period trying different ones (including Cheverolet). I was hoping the cabin pressure, buffeting noise, was due to perhaps base model, or tire brand, or something that might be different in each one. I was excited for these to come out with some features I needed, so yea maybe a lil determined to find one. Felt like it must just be me until Reading this forum, which brought me to my senses and the end of the search .

Love the determination! See if you can spot any of the Yukon 2015i's on a dealer lot...They were built after the first week of October or so, and can be identified with an 8 speed transmission. It may take some time for them to hit the dealer lots yet. I would test drive one of those models...

We actually do business with a dealer that said they hadn't heard any of these issues, was going to check into it and just had a handful new stock delivered. They asked if I wanted to try them out, I declined. Are you saying there is a new batch improved?

Allegedly, yes. They were brought back to the Arlington plant for another quality inspection before shipping. Trucks that were built and ready to ship went back to the Arlington plant from Grand Prarie, TX. I learned this from some of the guys who had their orders delayed. There is some info on it somewhere in this thread: http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64433&page=81. There is some good info on the 2015i's on this site.

 

I would not waste your time driving any that were built before 10/6ish/14. Drive the 2015i model. Again, the easiest way to determine this is if it has an 8 speed. Happy hunting!

Couple things:

 

First: Only the Yukon Denali's have the 8 speed transmission. SLT or SLE Yukon's or any model Tahoe will still have the 6 speed regardless if it is a 2015i or not.

 

The way to identify a 2015i for sure is on the list of options for the truck it will say:

 

  • 2015 INTERIM PROCESSING CODE (Required on all interim models produced starting in October 2014.) (AVF)

 

Second: I don't think anyone can say 100% whether the 2015i's are free from this issue or not. I am hopeful the issue has been fixed, but until some people start driving them (who know what to listen for) we won't know for sure.

Oh, sorry for the bad intel. Did not know only the Denali's had the 8 speed. I did know about AVF and forgot to mention...good call.

 

Well, I sure hope they fixed it...I ordered another Denali last month and it looks like it will be built next week. That problem better be solved! My first one was terrible.

Does your dealer have any 2015i's in stock yet? Or will they even let you back on the lot? :D

 

We need someone like you to test drive a 2015i since you know exactly what to listen for.

My dealer doesn't have any of the "i's" yet...Yes, we get along well and they want me to drive a 2015i when one comes in. They helped do the right thing with my buy-back and I bought another one from them, so we're good.

 

I promise, I will give a full report as I know exactly what to look for in the new one. I will not accept delivery of the vehicle if the issue is present. I truly believe they know what's going on now...that's why they brought them back to Arlington before they shipped. Some guys already got their 2015i Denali and they said the issue was not there at the speeds most prevalent. That's why I ordered another one...

For what it's worth, with all of our 2015 Tahoe's issues, we purchased in late August and have not experienced the buffeting issue that many have described.

 

The mouse click under the dash is still around after a lot of service time, but the pressure issues aren't apparent.

I had the click under the dash and it turned out to be the steering angle sensor. Have not had it repaired as of yet since the whole steering column has to come out. Was told by the tech that some Silverados had the same problem.

Jason Could you provide you info on the buy back vehicle you had and your dealership. My dealership is saying GM Knows Nothing....BS right!!!! Send me a message with the info please. Thanks JMc

Thanks, I will eagerly await your review. The future of the 2015i is in your hands Jason! :flag:

That's a lot a pressure, man! I am a former Army captain...l can handle it. Having said that, it may be a while before it arrives. Probably another month or so.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
