Jason,

 

Could I also request some of your information? I don't think any single issue would qualify ours, but the multitude of problems we're experiencing makes me want to at least TRY. Thanks for your help sir.

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

I just wanted to thank the people who have posted about their experiences with this issue.

 

Ordered a new Yukon a few months ago based on the 2015 model. Later when I checked in with the dealer and he was surprised to see it had an 8 speed as well as some different option packages than we ordered. Mine was built in early October so probably one of the early 2015.5s.

 

Also thanks for the tip about them being subject to some extra testing. That explains why mine was supposedly waiting to be unloaded from a rail car in NJ a few weeks ago but was subsequently sent back to TX.

Hi Eddy,

 

Do you have it yet? If so, please tell me it drives beautifully...and silently.

Not yet. Actually trying to chat with GM now to check status. I surely will report back with we get our hands on it.

 

The dealer told me a few weeks ago it was at the rail yard (in NJ) waiting to be unloaded and delivered to dealer*. Then last week I was told by GM it is back in TX and will be here the 18th. I have a VIN. It was built in early October. Gut tells me it was sent back for testing (or some change?) as others have reported. Trying to see if GM will give me fill "tracking history" so I can confirm.

 

 

 

*I don't think he lied to me because he had me come in the next day and have trade evaluated and hammer out the deal so when it arrives we can just give it a test and sign papers.

Anyone have any progress with resolving this issue?

 

Is the cold weather making it worse? I spent a decent amount of time in my truck this weekend and it seems worse.

I continue to work with the dealership on this issue with our 2015 Suburban. Anyone who has had a BUYBACK Please reply on what vehicle you had and where you took it back to. Also Im asking for information from anyone who still is in the process of fixing the vehicle (all vehicle info and dealership address). I do NOT need your personal information just the vehicle and dealership. I am going to create a data base so that all of us will make sure that we will have some documentation to assist you with a buyback if necessary. Send me a private message and once completed I will post the information on the forum. FYI GM has now made a 2015i that is supposed to have corrected the issue and added some more options. Figures.

 

Hi Jamac4567,

 

We are sorry that you are having this concern with your 2015 Suburban. We'd be glad to offer our assistance by discussing your concerns further and reaching out to your dealership on your behalf. If you are interested, please send me a private message here on the site.

 

Thank you,

Thanks Andraya,

 

So, could you check within GM and then tell us what this droning/buffetting sound is with early 2015 Yukon XL/Suburbans and how to fix it? I know you must keep records on this stuff. Apparently the Service Bulletin PIT5318 Doc ID 3975780 isn't the best solution.

 

Also, it seems that there are a lot of Yukon XL/Suburban fans watching this thread to see if the problem is resolved with your current production (2015i's).

 

I'm guessing if they fixed the problem with the current production (2015i) then somebody there knows what is causing it in the earlier 2015s. They sound ready to buy ! And I'm definitely ready to end the headaches.

 

We're all anxious to know what you can find. Thanks, again.

GM Customer Service is not helpful...they are, in fact, part of the problem. I suggest you work with your dealer and if that is going nowhere, your choices are your attorney and/or the FTC.

Anon2015,

 

You've got to give 'em a chance. I've got to think Yukon/ Suburban customers are some of GM's most loyal ( and profitable ). I can't believe it's not important to them to get this thing resolved.

 

Andraya, who wrote the Service Bulletin PIT5318 ? Can they share anything new?

Don't expect any real answers from the customer service people here. They give generic answers that do nothing but waste time. UPDATE on our 2015 Suburban. First , The TSB to fix the roof DOES NOT WORK. we had it done .....FAIL. The truck was taken back to the dealer again on Fri because GM wanted them to check the rear axle gear lash. According to the dealer everything was within specs. They called GM and they are sending an engineer sometime in the next few weeks to see what else can be done. GM is acting like they know nothing about the issue which upsets me more then the vehicle !!!!!. THEY KNOW. So I will let you know if things change. ALSO. I am still collecting information on current vehicles that have this problem or have been bought back by GM. If you have not replied to me in a private message then please send me your vehicle info and dealership so I can create the database.

 

FYI GM returned a large group of suburban's for quality Inspections in Texas so im not sure they fixed the problem. If you get a 2015i post your results please.

Andraya at GM customer Service,

 

What do you recommend?

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide information in regard to service bulletins. If you send us a private message with your VIN and full contact information we can certainly reach out to an internal resource in regard to your concern. Please let us know if the extra help is needed.

GM Customer Service – do you remember this comment back on post #90 page 6, “GM Corporate – your call. In the meantime, respectfully request you muffle your advisor on this thread unless you give them some authority to make decisions.”

 

People have spent thousands of hard earned dollars and are attempting to get closure on substandard manufacturing on their vehicle. It doesn't appear nothing changed from post 90, Corporate didn't give you any authority to make something happen. Don't mislead folks as though you can get something done.

 

Trying to keep it clean here, so unless you know a GM Corporate exec in the high rent district, respectfully request you go find another thread to assist.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
