What other cars in recent history (last 3 years) have issues with buffeting with the windows UP across the entire generation (not just a few complaints)

 

I think you're causing confusions

 

Seems to me the confusion on your part resides with your poor reading comprehension. Note my excerpt and you will note I stated "when certain windows are DOWN." "Virtually every car/ truck built within the last thirty or more years exhibits harmonic buffeting when certain windows are down". but, no worries, these days we are all guilty of just scanning instead of actually reading. Peace :)

ANYONE ELSE HEARING LIKE A BUFFERING SOUND? MAKES YOUR EARS FEEL LIKE THE WINDOW IS DOWN, BUT IT IS NOT? I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY HEARD IT. WE GOT IN ANOTHER 2015 YUKON XL AND HEARD THE

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

And how many have folded the mirrors in to see how the racket abates? There's no dispute about the existence of a problem and GM would surely like to find the source. Not to be a pest but I've read reams of complaints with little research as to the source. It's far too easy to blame GM and yes they should have caught this at the wind tunnel but it's evident at this point that griping about it is hardly the cure. Meanwhile, I'm going with trial and error. I'm with you on this Boaz, because maybe this pig just needs more lipstick.

I did, among other things. It didn't influence any of the 3 problems I had.

I did read DOWN that's the confusion - you're now trying to clean up your own lack of reading comprehension

 

This thread is about the issues happening when windows are UP

 

Your comment about how every car does this when windows are DOWN doesn't help anyone

 

Replace your original reply with "the sky is blue" and would be just as helpful to this thread

 

Virtually every car/ truck built within the last thirty or more years exhibits harmonic buffeting when certain windows are down .. So, this condition is not unique to GM trucks and suv's for sure.

GM is the only one that deserves the blame

 

Gathering evidence from others, sharing experiences - griping if that's what you call it - is the only way that most here are getting educated and getting buybacks as GM is telling some/most that the "vehicle is operating as designed" hoping they go away

 

This is all you need to read below when a forum member here got the press to report on it "GM is working with customers on an individual basis to rectify things"

Im not sure why you're spewing so much emotion over this. But, nevertheless I'm not trying to clean up anything. You're the one doing the clean up. If you disagree, provide some facts. Otherwise, your comments carry no more weight than mine. Btw, your comment stating that I'm causing confusion is an attack on the intelligence of the folks who are on this thread. You appear to be one of those pink'o, liberal, elitist socialist to me. The folks on this thread are quite capable to think for themselves without you censoring posts for them. Suggest you do some deep breathing exercises, maybe breath in a paper bag or something. Everything will be ok :)

Here's an article I posted several pages back out of the WSJ. A good read and explains that this is an industry wide problem. Sadly, WSJ won't allow me to copy and paste. You'll have to be a member to access the article. Or, call a friend who will share their pw with you.

Let's take me out of it

 

Your article is addressing a different situation entirely

 

I'm not sure why you, who doesn't have a vehicle with this issue (the pickups have vibration but not the buffeting) is calling into question 160 pages of complaints since summer 2014

 

From your article, a GM spokesperson offered a solution to open the sunroof or front window to alleviate the problem, which doesn't solve the buffeting from this thread

Anybody care to share how GM ended up addressing the problem? How many did get a buyback, replacement or bs?

Tsk, tsk, there you go again. Setting your rules for others to abide by. Sorry, doesn't work that way. I'm thinking you need a Snickers :)

I detailed my fixes a bit back in this thread where you can read more details.

 

Buffeting fixed by getting all tires road force balanced to 15lbs or better (my worst is 12lbs).

 

Booming fixed by installing exhaust dampers.

 

Vibrating fixed with a rear axle replacement.

Thanks, I read your post. Are you satisfied with the results? Do you feel that it is a permanent solution? I was hoping for stories from people who haven't posted yet but I appreciate the reply. :)

The root cause (chassis too sensitive?) hasn't been addressed but I can at least control the input (tires) now that I know what it is. If this means a few extra road force balances over the lifetime of the vehicle, then so be it. A quality tire sure seems to make a difference too.

 

It's an awesome truck otherwise.

Ok everyone. I guess I have to be the Mom in the group ;)
Let's try to get along, share our experiences with the dealerships and try to get this problem fixed.

We are all here to help one another, not to berate each other.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.
