I bought my 2015 GMC Yukon Denali earlier this year. I have had countless problems. I have had the retractable side steps worked on, the 4-wheel drive repaired, the transmission worked on, and countless recalls. In addition, I have experienced the constant vibration and noise as well. They have attempted to repair this through replacing all 4 tires, replacing the exhaust muffler with resonator, exhaust and tailpipe, insulated parking brake cable, and securing sheet and replacing insulation between headliner and roof. None of these have solved the problem.

 

On a side note, since my SUV has been in the shop for weeks on end now, they have scratched my vehicle, caused paint transfer, and dirtied up the headliner with smudges and hand prints. This is unacceptable.

 

I never experienced so many problems with a vehicle or encountered so many rude employees. I should not be having these problems on a $74k vehicle, or any new vehicle for that matter. I regret trading in my Range Rover for this vehicle immensely. GM may be posting great profits right now, but that will change when people see past the new overhaul on the Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade and see it for what it really is- a poorly made vehicle.

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

Went back to the dealer where I ordered my new Suburban and asked to take out another 2015 Suburban LTZ that was built in Aug 2014. The salesman handed me the keys and said take your time. I drove it 52 miles and didn't have a pressure in my ears feeling. What I did feel I can only describe as harmonics at certain rpm's and speed that might be annoying on a long trip. I didn't take note of what they were as I was more concerned with the ear pressure or noise in cabin. It drove nice but feels a bit underpowered, wish at least it had an 8 speed trans or a 6.0 or the 6.2. I'm going to test a Denali next.

UPDATE:

 

Hi All,

Well, the saga has finally come to an end (knock on wood). After getting my money back on the first one due to ear pressure and dizziness, I picked up my new order today and it is PERFECT! It is like driving two completely differently designed vehicles. I am telling you, I knew it was going to be better the moment I closed the door on the test drive before buying today. The truck felt less rigid than the first one I owned. Only my two cents, but I know exactly what the pressure and sounds feel like, and I don't think the issue has anything to do with noise cancellation. I am serious, the truck "felt" completely different the moment the door shut...before I even shifted into Drive. I drove it for 30 miles at different speeds and road conditions before officially buying it. I could not replicate the pressure issue...believe me, I tried. I was not going to buy it today if it was present.

 

Thanks to all those who were pulling for me to have a good outcome with the new one I ordered...I will send those same positive vibes towards you in hopes we ALL get a satisfactory solution.

Well, that's good news, glad it worked out for you. I wonder what GM did to fix it? I hope all the new ones are as good as the one you just got.

Thats great. What is the problem and how can we fix it? That remains the question. Ordering another unit and hoping that you get a good one doesnt work for me.

Amen. That was my biggest stress with ordering another. Hope is not a strategy, indeed. They definitely fixed something...

Jason: that's great news. I HOPE GM knows what the problem is. I do know the engineers spent a lot of time in ours testing the RPM's between the motor and torque converter. They wanted to replace the converter Monday, but we've desided to proceed with a buy back on this veh. I truly believe ours has other issues as well. It's a total joke driving this thing up our street. We live on a long steep street with a 20mph speed limit. If you lug the motor the whole truck starts to shutter and shake. The exhaust sounds like there is a giant hole in it. The truck flutters cruising down the road. The latest treat is the Nav screen just goes black, and will not go back on till you turn the truck off and restart it.

We are CROSSING OUR FINGERS! For we are picking up a 8 speed Escalade today. I hope, hope, hope to have Jason's success with our new one. With ANY luck I'll be posting good news by this time tomorrow. My father in law is just waiting for my approval so he can order his new Platinum Escalade as well.

Ready for this whole ORDEAL to be behind us !!!!!

In time I'm sure everything will be known on why this is happening. I'm baffled HOW this was ever an issue ??? There's no way that the intune car guys in R&D drove these and didn't pick up on this issue. I've been in the car business for 25 years. Have driven A LOT of different cars over the years. And it's so noticeable. Have put several other people from the dealership I work at. All of them are like WTF is up with this truck.

I'm 99% certain this isn't one single problem. I believe its several little issues that make this so noticeable. I think the ultra sealed up cabin, low profile tires, stiffer body, frameless glass, all play into this.

Please please let this new Lad be 99% better.....

Bought a 2015 LT Tahoe with "Buffeting" noise at 38-48 mph. Took to dealership they said it was the engine going from V4 to V8 and they couldn't do anything about it. Found this thread and tried taking the fuse but didn't work. Took back to dealership and they flew someone from GM to train mechanics on how to "fix" the problem. Talked with service guy today and they are having to take headliner out and add foam to fix. Waiting on parts. Arlington factory mentioned as the location these vehicles with these issues are coming from. Wish I had been aware prior to purchasing.

Well i will tell u this i had one bought back by gm and ordered another one. The new one still did the buffeting noise so i didnt buy it. I am in really close contact with the dealership they do alot of business selling GM. From the dealership side of this problem all they can say at this point to people is " start the buy back process" they have been trying everything GM has told them and it hasn't worked. Also one of my friends are working on the buy back process because of this problem and it is a 2015i. I love the 2015 but there is no way i would buy anther yukon until i hear what the problem is and how they fixed it for real. I just feel bad for everyone that owns them and also the people that are buying them as we speak. Also by the way the second one i ordered that i didnt buy. Some poor guy bought it for his wife and it has been back at the dealership ever since getting destroyed by the service guys experimenting with it. Doing everything GM tells them to. This guy is also working on a buy back. I looked at this yukon and it is a mess. GM is falling apart apparently. I guess that is why its call government motors. It is following the governments foot steps. UNBELIEVABLE

Well we have a 2015 4wd SLT in the driveway, and a 2015 i 4wd Escalade in the garage with 50 miles. Just drove the new Lad home from work. Sorry to report the pressure is as bad if not worse then the Yukon. :(

Guess I'll try the re-setting of the fuse trick and see that does anything. Over the smallest of bumps feels like the sub woofer is booming.

 

Oh what we do for our spouses! I wanted to be done with this whole thing and get a nice used 2011-2014 Escslade. But Noooo, pissed!

 

So the first 65k was a bummer, now this 84k is just as bad. I want my a Tundra back!!

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
