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

Anyone here aware if the TSB issued on July 30th is a real fix for the buffering / cabin pressure issue? We recently purchased a used yukon xl slt and it has this issue. I really like the truck but can't stand to own it much longer if there's not a real fix for this issue. We purchased it from a non GM dealer so I think we are pretty much out of luck with any buyback option. It was a 1yr corp lease with a 7/14 build date.

Exactly which TSB are you referring to?

Well, I thought it was an update to the one that involves removing headliner and resealing but I'm not sure if it's an updat or not as I believe it reads the same as the one issued much earlier. I have yet to talk to my local dealer (did not purchase from them) regarding a fix but it's amazing to me that this issue hasn't been resolved by now.

My understanding is that a TSB is a fix. The ones from July are PI's. I forget what PI stands for but I haven't heard anyone having the issue fixed from the July 30th info.

Thanks for the clarification. I take it there is still no improvement/fix for this issue? I clearly have the pressure/buffeting issue but no other issues with truck which makes even more frustrating.

 

I have read that it could be the ANC and also saw that if you put it in "tow mode" that it instantly goes away (need to test this scenario)...seems like the causes are all over the place anything from drive train, engine, cabin, anc, headliner / sheet metal, etc. I just don't get it.

It's been six months and the cotton balls still are working for me.

 

After a few weeks of the tape being in the heat, it'll start to fall and expose the openings for the mics and I'll start to feel a little pressure again. The cure is to pull the 4 cotton balls I have stuff in and around the mic openings and install new tape and cotton balls.

 

Zero headaches and pressure. Again, our truck has no buffeting issues, though. Just ear pressure that would bring tears to your eyes!

Unfortunately, putting the vehicle in tow-/haul mode does not help. At least, didn't for me and no one else reported that it helped as I recall.

 

This has been going on since last year. No solid fix to date. As unbelievable as it is, that's the situation. I think many of the folks that were regular posting have either given up or sold he vehicle and moved all. The amount of posts per day has drifted down, but the problem is still there and no fix in site. And yes, the potential causes have been all over the map, but speculative at best and nothing in the way of a fix.

I believe your issue is due to the overpowered ANC system that you are basically reducing effectiveness with an end result of less cancellation. However, I have an SLT and to my knowledge does not have the ANC system. From what I can tell I have the true cabin pressure (buffeting) problem only. From what little and short research I've done to date it seems as though the denali and escalade are having mag shock and ANC issues in addition to the buffeting/pressure issue.

Thanks. Yes, I tested the "tow" function with no change as well. Given GM has had over a year to work on this and still don't have a fix makes me instantly think it's a design flaw, but if that were the case wouldn't it be an issue with all of them? Also, if I recall all chevy and gmc models have this issues...all trim levels, wheels sizes, etc.?

 

I really don't want to have the headliner removed but I wonder if it would reduce my issue as I don't have the "boom" shock noise and/or the noise cancellation problems that seem to be part of the denali issues.

 

 

I'm not expecting anything, but I opened a case with GMC customer service and I'm currently awaiting a call from a serv rep. This whole thing is ridiculous.

This is a catch 22. At this point, I think these TSBs are issued to pacify customers, not as a real fix to the many issues. But if you are fortunate enough to have your vehicle bought back by GM, the TSB work will probably be used by GM as a pre-condition to the buy-back. If you don't get the TSB work done, your expectation of GM customer service is probably correct.

 

Prior to the TSBs being issued, 1 fella on this forum had his vehicle bought back by GM without any corrective work being done. It was due to his state having a 72 hr Lemon Law. The remaining half dozen or so folks with a buy-back had one or all of the TSBs completed.

Thanks! I didn't purchase brand new so I'm most likely out of luck re a buy-back. If we can't live with it, we'll probably take a small loss and trade it in. I'd like to find one on a lot that doesn't have the issue and just trade in for same vehicle but unsure if it's worth taking that chance. There's really very few options vehicle wise (4kids with lots of road trips)...maybe just go with a pre 15 model, again.

 

Thanks again for the shared info.

For what it's worth, I have contacted the following news outlets recapping my story along with links to many others:

  • NY Times
  • Wall Street Journal
  • Car and Driver
  • MotorTrend

Hopefully, someone will respond and we can get some pressure on GM to put some type of resolution out to the owners of these vehicles.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
