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 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,

Hello Wing350,

 

We are sorry to hear this. I understand that you are trying to resolve this issue on your own, If you should need any additional assistance, we're always here to help. We cannot provide technical information, but we'd be glad to investigate this further for 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.

    • tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.
    • NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
    • That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.
    • I bought a used 2022 2500hd with 6.6L in February. In March took a 2200 mile trip towing our 6500 lb trailer. Changed the oil day before leaving and when we were arriving at our 1st destination, low oil light came on (roughly 1000 miles) it was 2 qts low. Now it towed like a dream, no issue there, and we did go through the mountains of TN, but still, 2 qts! Luckily I did purchase an extended warranty. Brought it to the dealership in April, oil change and consumption test. Brought it back last week, 1300 miles, no towing, and no oil showing on the dipstick. GM is reccomending a new engine (cheaper than them rebuilding), we'll see if the warranty company comes through. 
    • T3's and Ibuprofen. I do have a cryotherapy unit (ice machine) and a lift chair that will allow me to raise my legs above my heart.  There are topicals that I can use once the wound is fully healed.
