I know I can duplicate this effect on all of my suburban type vehicles I have owned by cracking a rear window by itself. I understand this is happening with all the windows closed on the new body style, but wonder if the fresh air intake is causing the pressure to rise and fall in the cabin creating this butteting noise?

Hi Guys

I just called the dealer and canceled the 2015 Yukon Denali XL that was on order. There is no way I can feel confident with this purchase knowing what I do about this vehicle and lack of GM doing the right thing at this time.

 

I also as others have stated want to get one but only when I feel the issues have been corrected? Major repairs being done to a brand new vehicle is not what I can deal with.

Time will tell if and when they resolve this. I will keep monitoring the site and hope for the best.

Thanks to all of you that have posted this information to help protect the customers.

I was very fortunate to have found this site as it allowed me to have the knowledge of issues most will never know exists till it’s too late.

Thanks,

Snuke1e

Good on you Snuke1e - suggested this to you on page 6, post 88. The only way GM will fix the issue is when it hits them in the pocket. You did the right thing.

Tobek ... noise, sound, what creates it, how to stop it (in say, submarines), and how to enjoy it is my profession (Acoustician). They measure the gap to determine if there is separation of the roof panel and the crossbars and hence, repair is required (buffet or no buffet).

 

I don't see any evidence of GM doing anything more than guess work on a fragmented basis (multiple people in different locations with no coordination of effort). Here's a starting point:

 

1. Drive the vehicle on the open road noting the vehicle speed, engine RPM, and taking full spectrum measurements to 10Hz (possibly lower, but that equipment is very expensive and likely only at GM HQ).

2. Change the speed of the vehicle but not the RPM...measure and note any changes.

3. Change the RPM of the vehicle but not the speed...measure and note any changes.

4. Take the vehicle to a dynamometer facility and repeat the tests and measurements (this will isolate aerodynamically induced issues from mechanically induced issues).

5. Place vehicle in a wind tunnel and test at various wind speeds.

 

Items 4 and 5 may be mutually exclusive and by the time you get done with (3), evidence would be pointing to mechanical or aerodynamic forces and would then lead to tests 4 or 5 to get closer to the root cause.

 

Now, I can assure you that is very highly unlikely this very simple set of tests have been carried out by a dealer or on a district or regional basis. More to the point I seriously doubt anyone has measured the pressure and frequency in order to back into a potential cause. So, what we most likely have here is sloppy assembly followed by sloppy fault diagnosis which will lead to finding no root cause and a bunch of time and money being spent on customer owned vehicles to guess at a solution.

In the news this morning, GM posted a net income of $1.38 billion for the 3rd quarter of 2014 (Jul - Sep), this number nearly doubles the net income from this time a year ago. Revamped pickup trucks and SUVs were responsible for the push; 60,000 more vehicles were sold this quarter as compared to the same quarter in 2013.

 

GM Chief Financial Officer Chuck Stevens comment, “The new trucks and SUVs are more profitable than the ones they replaced. That certainly helps from a profit perspective”.

 

The reality of GMs profit, more folks will have to decline delivery of their new SUV for GM to pay attention to this issue. There are a lot of 2015 trucks out there and with profit margins like this, Snuke1e’s truck won’t be enough to impact GM’s bottom line and force a fix for current vehicles already on the street.

 

Just curious, what are the dealerships doing with the returned vehicles, just trading them to another dealership? Buyers looking at used 2015 SUV's, beware!!

Go on Cars.com there are MANY 2015 Tahoe and Yukons with very low miles forsale already. no doubt back back vehicles. Per the "lemon Law" these vehicles are to be fully disclosed to the new buyer. Doesn't mean it is always disclosed though :(

 

 

GM customer service has done LITTLE to NOTHING for me at this point. They just keep refering me back to the dealership. Which also has done nothing to bay back this problem vehicle. I WISH there was a different vehicle my family wanted. Real sore subject in our home right now.

Did you get a claim number from GMC customer service? That seemed to help light some sort of fire. Sorry you're going through this...just stinks. Ask your dealer to hunt down an engineer and see if they have any new information from the field.

Tobtek - the used 2015 SUVs for sale probably are not categorized as “Lemons”. From my perspective, I lay blame solely on the shoulders of Mr Mark Reuss, GM Vice President of Global Product Development. Mr Reuss has the resources to find out what happened, direct a change for trucks currently on the assembly line, and make it right for folks that have and are currently experiencing this issue.

 

With this issue, you and I are at the ground level, Mr Reuss is 50,000 feet up, we can’t reach him. Dealerships you and I talk to have the capacity to reach Mr Reuss but won’t dare make contact. Mr Reuss will get energized when orders and sales for full size SUVs goes down, but customer safety can’t wait on orders and sales.

 

Someone on this thread asked me “why am I posting, I’m not experiencing the issue”. Here is the reason; as an average American in a situation such as this, when your family feels pain, so does mine. We are in this together. The fact of the matter, it’s just wrong. Me and wrong, don’t get along. I speak with folks at the 50,000 foot level daily, I would love to “speak” with Mr Reuss. Right now, he has to be the biggest “Lemon” at GM.

 

GM Customer Care roaming this thread, are you an average American. Shoot me a PM.

Yes, have a claim started at GM Customer care. Have been told from the Service manager to come get the truck, he can't hear it.

 

They have had the truck two weeks now, STILL cant tell me why our truck is different from the rest and CAN NOT run E85 fuel as advertised.

 

Between the sound issue, the E85 issue, and the other things that have already broken on this truck. Im not impressed at all. Now looks like its time to find a buy back attorney. This will cost GM alot more down the road, Vrs just taking care of it now. They will be paying any and all payments made, Full down payment will be returned, AND they will be paying attorney fees. BMW used to do this all the time as well. Would save so much time, energy, and money for everyone if they would just step up and do the right thing in the first place.

"just step up and do the right thing in the first place."

 

What an incredibly bright idea! I wonder why those in Detroit who know better than any consumer anywhere on any day haven't figured that out yet? ;-(

well heres a quick update on mine. the service manger said he feels like he has done everything in power to fix it with no avail. the dealership it self won't just buy it back, I'd have to start the process with gm for that. Instead the dealership is going to find me a used low mile infiniti qx56/qx80 and I'll pay the difference they will then just unwind the tahoe purchase part of my deal. told them to do that so I don't have to fight gm and wait even longer to get a different vehicle. good thing is i'm still in my loaner vehicle and plan on keeping it until they find me a infiniti

Lemon Law is completely different than a buy back. Lemon Law means that the car is defective and that would need to be disclosed. A buy back, is a buy back. I went over this with the dealer when they were hesitant to buy mine back. Once I stated that I knew the law, and that I would be filing a claim, presto, a buy back was offered. They did ask if I had legal representation. If you tell them yes, they will stop working on the vehicle, and everything will go through GM and the attorney. I assume profits are up because of the hap hazard way these new trucks are being produced.

Update on ours. While the service manager at our local dealership has been nothing but pleasent, and has agreed he hears the "buffeting" or Droning sound" he's past his finding on to the GM Rep. I / we dont think GM knows how to correct this issue yet. So why tear into a brandnew vehicle at this point.

 

I personaly can not drive the vehicle anymore, does nothing but upset me. The truck can not even make it up my steep street without shacking and shuttering. Something is wrong with this thing, no doubt about it. Even beond the Interior sound issues. The two GM truck loaners we were just in didnt have this issue coming up our street (2014 yukon XL, and 2015 Suburban) . MY 2014 E350 MB is smooth as can be coming up the hill. The 2013 Tundra I sold to buy this POS was just fine as well. This truck is a dressed up pig! They look great, but are still a typical GM product. No quality control, and even less customer care.

      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.

      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.
