2015 YUKON NOISE IN CABIN

[ajs800]

In addition to the bulletin being revised in July, it seems as though additional support(even if bows are attached) at each bow along with sound dampener is necessary. The engineer that discussed with my dealer didn't come out and say it directly but didn't disapprove of the additional support and dynamat either.

 

I have asked my senior adviser covering my case many times and he claims he's working on an answer but why can't we find out where things stand directly from the engineer team? Are they working daily on a fix? Have they determined anything? It just seems that either a large producing dealer or high level team could get direct answers. I can't imagine that there are teams of engineers sitting around a table stumped and still trying to figure out a fix 2yrs later.

I waited 2 months and researched this and other issues as much as I could.

 

After the talk I drove with the sales person for about 30 minutes. I told him I would not accept the car without a extensive test drive. Believe me when I say we tried a huge variety of roads. We went on rough roads, smooth roads, close to other cars at 70mph and away from cars at 70mph, slow speeds and over rumble strips and speed bumps. At several points I held my hand to the roof to feel how much it vibrated.

 

For the record my 2016 Suburban was assembled in early October 2016

Hey, you put in work, good job. With the exception of being the extended version and 2nd row buckets, I think you have a good set-up. Do you have adjustable foot pedals?

Yes, adjustable pedals. I had the 2nd row buckets in my 2002 and it actually made it easier for the kids to crawl in the back and adults seemed to like it better than a bench seat.

When I bought my truck I also felt there was a lag in response from the gas pedal, until I adjusted the pedals. Once I found the sweet spot with my foot and the pedal I found out it wasn't the truck. Try adjusting the pedals when you hop in the truck just like you adjust the seat. I had another thought in mind when I mentioned 2nd row buckets, wasn't thinking about their practicality.

[ajs800]

We have the 2nd row bench with 4 kids and I'm now wishing we would have gone with buckets as it is much easier for two of them to easily hop in and access 3rd row vs having to flip bench every time. We figured bench would be better for an additional seat but I'm not finding that to be too helpful yet and would probably prefer the buckets. Will probably swap with buckets once there are more available on the 'used' market as they are way too pricey through dealer.

Any feedback on the fix yet? Anyone tried it this week and got they truck back

[ajs800]

I have yet to drop mine off at body shop. At this point, I probably won't have it done until after thanksgiving. I'll be sure to post an update asap once work is completed.

I just chatted online with and spoke on the phone with GM trying to get info on the roof bow TSB. Neither of them claimed to have any knowledge of it. I then entered the VIN of a 2015 Yukon into gm.recalls.com and nothing came up. They are obviously keeping this as quiet as possible.

There's no recall because there is no fix.

True. I didn't refer to it as a recall when I was corresponding with them but they still referred me to the recall site and to the NHTSA site. Just the usual run-around. I referenced #PIT5318, "Wind Buffeting Droan Type Noise and/or Body Pressure Booming." Document ID: 3975780

Mine's fixed. I have put about a thousand freeway miles on it this week and it is fine.

In detail how did they fix it? So there is no more buffeting or air pressure issues? I would like to communicate this info to my service manager.

Chris, I went to the dealer and asked to talk to the service manager. I had a print out of #PIT5318 and he printed out the July update and gave it to me. See my post about 1 page back. They should be well aware of it.

 

Franks repair was the updated PIT where they re-attach all of the roof bows in addtion Frank asked them to cover the roof with a sound deadening material called Dynamat.

 

I am now up to 250 miles on my October built 2016 Suburban and neither the wife not I hear any buffeting or feel vibrations.
