The vibration fix is up to the dealer, there's no set steps it is just trial n error to see what could be causing it in the rear end

 

But there's been a recent post where someone had the entire rear end rebuilt/new parts and vibration is still there

 

For the buffeting (roof), there is a TSB for a fix, but it has been reported to come undone so maybe GM is back to the drawing board on that one

Stopped by gmc service today, they said rf balancing is what they been doin to resolve vibration , but he felt it's a drivetrain issue. That Gm doesn't want to recall. He also said he only seen this problem with the 22 s not the smaller wheels

I dropped my 2015 Chevy Tahoe PPV at the dealership to have the brakes fixed, rattling noise from passenger side 2nd row seat, vibration at various speeds fixed and wind buffeting (however, they said because GM has not released a guaranteed fix that they would not attempt to fix it and would need to speak with an area representative).

 

Does this sound right?

 

 

^^^^^ THIS sounds just like what I'm being told right now. We have a 2016 Escalade 4wd that's already had the roof Dynamatt'd, and still can't stand to drive in the vehicle! The booming, buffeting, and sound vibrations are just TERRIBLE! I've been in contact with the service manager, and he said they WILL NOT take the vehicle back in to try to fix it. Obviously he knows there's nothing he can do to fix it.

Have an open case open will GM, but GOOD LUCK getting anyone to call you back! And if anyone does call back, they can't do anything to help. They keep saying we have to take it to our dealer. you mean the dealer that wont take it and try to fix it?

 

THIS IS ALL A TOTAL JOKE GM! Not most of the people, but EVERYONE that asks about our new $86,000.00 Escalade I tell them what a total piece of JUNK it is ! I have no less then 10 clients and friends that have not bought one yet for all the issues we've had with our THREE since Sept 2015.

 

 

IF YOUR IN THE MARKET FOR A 2015+ GM SUV........WAIT! YOU DONT NEED TO SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY TO HAVE NOTHING BUT FRUSTURATION !

 

The outdated Toyota Sequia and Landcruisers are looking better and better everyday.

LORD HELP YOU if you get Gail at GM early response. Ext 5911565 ! She is 100% completely WORTHLESS. She has the Balls to tell me today...... " Sir, you mean to tell me you had two 2015's bought back, and you bought a 2016 ?"

 

Yes Gail, This is what we stupid husbands do to try to make our wives happy....make really stupid mistakes from time to time by buying yet another Total piece of JUNK GM product. just because my wife thinks they look pretty. OR just maybe if GM would actually admit there's a problem here and just fix the damn problem I wouldn't have to deal with this NONSENSE! She is telling me today, since my dealership is refusing to work on this car, its working with in manufactures designs spec's...... RIGHT! GM designed this vehicle to have excessive buffeting at freeway speeds ? GM designed this vehicle to sound like a rolling Sub-Woofer over any small road imperfection? GM designed this vehicle to create motion sickness for excessive cabin pressure?

 

TO ME, as soon as GM put out the TSB's TO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, they admitted there is in fact a problem here ! Why are engineers trying to fix this if in fact there isn't a problem?

 

WHY is there not a class action law suit against these 2015+ SUV's ?? This is absolutely ridiculous !

 

And BTW: Thanks Gail for leaving me on hold for 20+ minutes today while you were transferring me to your supervisor. Before I gave up and hung up.

 

 

 

CAN'T WAIT TILL ANY OTHER MANUFACTURE starts selling something my wife likes ! Just want this ordeal to be over.

So this is your third vehicle. Did you try the rf balancing

Yes, they have RF the tires, removed the headliner, inspected the cross members, and Dyna matt'd the entire roof. Now with 12,000 miles on it, its worse then ever. I can't stand to drive in the thing ! I STILL think the super stiff shocks are a major cause of the Booming at low speed. I get the boom while backing out of my driveway and the wheels drop out at full shock extension/drop out. Will anyone at GM listen......Nope.

I mentioned back in January that 20's were the answer on the Yukon Denali I purchased (May 2015) with less than 20 miles. I've asked several 2015-2016 Yukon owners about their cabin pressure. My experience seems to be consistent with other owners. Switching to 20's reduced and/or eliminated the problem. I have 18,000 miles on my SUV and don't have any pressure problems.

Does anybody still has that buffeting problem with a recently purchased 2016 Yukon/Tahoe ?

 

 

yes....... GM bought back TWO 2015's from us, and gave us a 2016. STILL has ALL the buffeting and subwoofer Booming sound problems. Only thing different with the 2016 is GM doesn't want to do ANYTHING to correct the problem.

 

NO MONEY in the world is worth buying one of these new 2015 or 16 SUV's...... They are COMPLETE JUNK !

Posted

Sounds very painful ! Have you been able to hear the buffeting at the time of purchase or is that an issue that comes up later ?

 

GM sells about 100000 of those trucks a year and some seem to be affected and some not, and I am just as annoyed as you are, since I need a truck with those specs and there is not

much else on the market. Have been holding of until the 2017 will be available, hopefully without this issue, it would drive me crazy.

You have an escalade right.

Someone said the exhaust damper is related to the booming.

 

That video I posted said the buffeting was related to the body bushing being too hard. I guess with the escalade the 22s don't absorb enough shock

    • But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate. 
    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
    • Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken. 
    • Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
