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

How were you able to arrange that with GM? The people I have been dealing with (arguing with) have been incredibly difficult. Instead of acting like they are doing the right thing here, they seem to think they are making some grand gesture by replacing this car, and expext me to cough up more money to do it. The replacement vehicle is an exact clone of my current one (minus the buffetting, I hope), and mine only had 200 miles on it when this whole thing began. It's not like I am asking for then to trade me up to an Escalade here, I just want what I paid for.

 

Did you end up having to go through a lawyer to get out of the situation, or did the dealer work with you on getting into the 2014?

You'll have to ask "JasonDenali" those questions...I believe after the 2nd was bought back he found a "like new" 14 and bought himself like any other purchase.

If I may chime in on this booming. I've 2015 Suburban LTZ $74k sticker. I drive for Uber and a few other black car services in NYC and have done over 20k miles so far this year in mixed highway and city driving. I was also a body tech for over 15 years experience. I was also an auto body tech for Sewell Auto Group in Dallas TX. Excellent dealer by the way!

- There is hardly any sound proofing in these trucks, (my truck) when it rains it sounds like I'm under a tin roof with. Unbearably loud at times! The rear quarter panels same thing, just have someone tap on them with their nails on either quarter panel while you sit in the back set or any where for that matter and you will hear what sounds like a tin drum inside. Drive on a road with some loose asphalt and again you hear every single pebble striking the rear wheel-wells.

- The (25, 35 45 etc.. mph) sound we're hearing is to do with 1) Cabin sound proofing. 2) suspension booming like hell on the slightest crack or bump.. I have the 22" wheels too, and ugh!! 3) These trucks are obviously tuned for high mpg's and low performance and under very soft acceleration in 4cyl mode you hear a shuddering coming from the drivetrain (what sounds and feels like a manual transmission in the wrong gear, i,e too slow a speed for a high gear).

 

My warranty is almost up and I use this SUV for a living and man do I have a headache at the end of the day after driving for like 12 hours and booming going on :tear: !!

I'm gonna try the dealer this week, for the record.. And after the bumper to bumper warranty is up if they don't fix my plan is to bite the bullet and spend a weekend taking the truck apart to do the sound deadening myself and document it all with pictures everything. I mean quarter panels, wheel wells, roof.. I don't think the ribs are enough for the roof. I plan on researching a sound deadening spray for there too!

 

Other issues:

-Drivers seat alert vibrating probes are coming through the cushioning of the seat and feels like the springs at first I thought. Do not plan on the seats lasting long in this truck!

-Rear carpet looks like piecemeal.lol. Behind the second row bench seats I have the bolts almost about through the carpet.lol

-I anticipate paint issues with these trucks too. small chip on roof already rusting. Other areas paint chips reveal hardly any paint material. other areas missing paint primer cleared over.. Left rear quarter panel already looks like the clear is starting to separate from the base-coat.

-clunking driveline sometimes the tranny down then upshifts in under a second making a clunking sound! Horrid!! also going from reverse to drive or park to drive etc..

-Radio reception is awful.

-Backup camera awful. in comparison to my wifes 2004 lexus gx 470.

-Suspension creaking over speed-bumps.

-left side mirror led light keeps falling out.

-Middle of the dash is starting to make a rattling sound!

-Drivers seat bracket/frame is clunking sounds loose or the base...

-Battery failed me in Demarest New Jersey and I was on a job for my most important client NBA Basket ball player. I figure I put the on-star to the task and call for roadside. I tell them the battery needs replacing and they respond we don't carry batteries for roadside get a boost and drive to dealer I say ok a boost and I'll take my client to the Airport and swing By Potamkin Chevrolet for a new battery. What can go wrong? I get to Potamkin at 12noon on a Friday I tell them battery is bad if you shut it off the truck probably wont start. They tell me they cant do it until Monday. On-star will help me find another dealer, right? Wrong! Constar receptionist tells me she called 5 dealers in the area and they wont help. Im in the middle of Harlem 2495 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10035 2 hours from home and I cant shut my truck off.... Needless to say, I'm canceling Constar next! $40.00 a month for what? LIP-SERVICE ?

 

It's a shame to have to pay over a thousand dollar a month car payment for 5 years for a vehicle that has such issues and a dealer network in New York that is so lacking!!! Mercedes on the other hand I have a 2001 ML430 battery went bad called roadside guy comes out replaces the battery and only paid for the battery. The seats in the 2001 benz are almost exactly as it was brand new..

I was interested in hearing from someone that uses the truck for business also. I'm in ny also and I know uber and livery sales are big on these vehicles. I figured,gm could care less as long as they got the livery and car rental market purchasing these vehicles. But that new article on autoguide might make some noise

Absolutely. Thanks again for pushing this through. Wonder if another mag would pick up the story now that it is in print?

 

I hope so...I have pelted most of them today with tweets, posts and emails. Snowballing would be great at this point.

I owned a 2011 Yukon XL SLE for 2 years and loved it to death. Been wanting to get a new one since but this 105 page thread (read every post) has helped me make an informed decision.

 

yahtzee, I signed up just to say thanks for taking the initiative, time and effort in order to get that great article published.

 

I'm rooting for all you guys with the buffeting/vibration issues. Stay determined and it'll pay off!

Thanks. I appreciate that. I've always admired the Yukon Denali but never really had the need for one. Now that I have the need for one (and it looks better than ever) it goes and shits the bed. I still love the truck and am obviously interested in seeing a positive outcome. Only time will tell.

I go in to pickup my Yukon tomorrow, and supposedly they've fixed the vibration I've been experiencing between 70-80mph.

 

They said the initial Road Force balance came in at 25lbs on all wheels, except the front right (which was nearly 70lbs). The dealer has replaced all tires...fingers crossed

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Z45 · Posted

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.
