2015 YUKON NOISE IN CABIN

Luvgmc · November 16, 2014

What i will say that made the noise worse, was when it was in v4. But what was weird about this one is when i drive down a dirt rd the quick rumble make the cab build pressure and it makes your ears want to pop constantly.

Luvgmc - that's what you said you would do, try it out before you took it home. Totally on point with that. Didn't think the noise could be worse, but you would know. The quick rumble on a dirt road making your ears want to pop is a new one. My truck is still not experiencing anything mentioned on this thread, but what I did notice is with my upgraded sound system tuning into certain XM radio stations that uses enhanced bass, there is slight pressure in the ears. The pressure goes away when I turn down the sound or change the channel.

The bigger question, were you able to find out if it was the 2015i model.

Luvgmc · November 16, 2014

I cant tell if it is a 2015i i called the dealer today to let them know i was bringing it back. I asked him to look and see if it was a i series and he had never heard of it. But was going to look into it. But the crazy part is when i picked this one up there were at least five Yukon's that just rolled off the truck. I wonder if at this point they have to disclose this issue to the customers. I guess from what he says is that gm has no clue whats going on he has two yukons torn apart in there right now and have done everything from tearing into the roof to the tires and suspension. He also said that one of the reps said it was in the v4 mode running at to low of an rpm and causing it to make the noise but at this point he didn't believe him.

Luvgmc - we may not yet know if the 2015i model fixes the issue, but it's evident that dealers are still tearing apart the 2015 trucks. You would think dealers would call other dealers before they allow techs to attempt a fix in which they don't yet know how. This doesn't pass the test for me.

Since I have been cruising this thread, the V8 to V4 transition is a prevalent theme. Although, sheet metal separation is not a small matter. I was cruising a Tahoe forum and a fella purchased a device that will not allow his truck to transition to V4. He claims its helps with the sound, but it may be suspect if he decides to make a warranty claim.

Customers and dealers are spinning their wheels, but until corporate puts the horespower and resources behind this issue, this thread will continue to grow. There is just no way GM research and development didn't find out this problem before production. These folks are too intelligent to have been this incompetent.

Does your truck have the Onstar 4G LTE with wifi hotspot? If your truck has this feature it is a 2015i.

Luvgmc · November 16, 2014

Yes it does have 4g LTE wifi hotspot.

Luvgmc - your response would mean GM did not find the answer in the mid year model, not good.

Check your state's lemon laws.

A note on "enhanced bass" from a previous post. The Bose system in these vehicles, and more to the point those with AudioPilot, are very poor. The bass management is horrible and you can have just nasty overwhelming bass on certain tracks ... at levels not in the recording. Neither GM nor Bose are willing to admit to the issue which means no fix. You'll have to replace the Audio system or turn the bass levels down (considerably). Vehicles at this price point should not have such awful audio systems. This issue is not related to the primary topic of this thread. Back to your originally scheduled programming.

Still collecting information from people who own Suburbans, Yukons, and Tahoes with this issue ONLY. If you have this issue send me vehicle info (VIN#) and Dealership you are working with to resolve this issue. I am meeting with GM Engineers on Wed. Send me a private message or post on forum. I do not need any personal info just vehicle and location. Also if you participated in a buy back then please send you info.

Thanks

Joe

Are you a GM representative or a representative of the owners of this site or are you just someone on a mission from God? No offense but there is no way I am sending any info to a stranger.

LOL.. Not a GM rep.. just a pissed customer whos trying to collect information to help people who have had the same issue and getting the run around. I don't want your personal info just vehicle and dealership. Mission from God ???? You call buying a 70K POS a mission from god than so be it... GM knows there is a problem and they are playing games. Im trying to get this info so we can all get a resolution to this problem by creating a undeniable data base which I have already started. So if you have the issue with your GM SUV and you want to go it alone then so be it...... If you would like information then be a part of the solution .

You said it, brother. Not good, indeed. I can't believe this issue appears to still exist. My 2015i is set to be built this week... I have been other sites and have specifically asked 2015i owners about the issue at the speeds where the issue is most prevalent and no others have noticed it. I know exactly what to look for and will be certain to drive it before taking the delivery. I will keep you posted.

Lucgmc--don't mess around and wait. If you are having the pressure issue with your ears, demand your money back immediately. Get a claim number. Go there, take off your license plates and leave it there. Don't put another mile on it. The issue will lead to headaches and dizziness. Not a safe condition while driving, let alone the health of you and your family.

Jasondenali15 – The other owners not experiencing anything may be in my category of having a vehicle without any issues identified on this thread. Or, they may not know what to look for. But Luvgmc acknowledging his vehicle is wifi capable is pretty definitive of the model version (2015i), and proves overall GM does not yet have a fix for subsequent versions.

Two times when a person shouldn’t or can’t drive a vehicle; 1 when the vehicle physically can’t go, and the other, SAFETY. The pressure and headaches are real folks and should be taken extremely serious. I mentioned this before, this issue is a SAFETY concern and GM need to advise owners accordingly.

GM Started in late August/September adding the 4G onstar before the refresh. The only way to know if it is an i series is on the sticker, the will be an Interim Processing Code.

If it is a Denali, it will have the 8 speed transmission.

Reels ... your August/September 4G comment is of interest. From what source did you obtain this information? Do you have any VINs, etc. (feel free to PM me). Please note, information provided may become part of legal action against GM and provided to the FTC.
