Don't need to, 'cause if the article is about fullsize GM SUVs buffeting from the side view mirror design, it's a lie. Or else my truck would be buffeting also.

 

Maybe reading it would open your eyes a bit to the effects airflow has on a vehicle, which appears to be most of the buffeting in all vehicles.

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

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

I am experiencing low speed booming, bumps and rough road noise. Nothing at higher speeds where aerodynamics come into play. So buffeting from mirrors is not my issue.

 

I am thinking it is the thin sheet metal as well.

 

I think the (mounting location) trailing arms for the rear axle are introducing a movement or force into the chassis that is transmitted to the body to create the boom.

 

Maybe trailing arm bushings are doing a poor job of energy absorbing, or the (design) angle they transmit the force to the frame is the source of sound???

Yes airflow does have an affect on vehicles, but we're not talking about all vehicles here. The style of the sideview mirrors on this truck is not the cause of buffeting. A "large" portion of the buffeting is probably due to thinner metal than previous generations combined with roof bows not being attached correctly. I'm sure another magazine will come out with their version of a silver bullet for buffeting, but a report being specific to the this truck would be more credible.

Which makes it appear that Gm got both the airflow and the construction materials wrong on this version. I'm thinking it will take a new version of this vehicle to correct the problems, since it doesn't appear there is a reliable fix for any of them.

No, if GM doesn't figure out the issues with this gen 4, owners will have the same problems in the next gen 5. GM has corporate data, but they need to collect, assess, and compare owner data to decrease or eliminate issues with this truck.

You left out the rest of my quote which is the most likely scenario. They aren't, at this point, reliably fixing this problem. Maybe because they don't know what's causing it or the fix is just too expensive to do a good-will fix or a recall. The solution will then be left to a new gen design for which they will have budget to design in a fix. Like many other design problems, this one will go away with the age of vehicle, ownership changes to those who don't mind or care about the problem, or the vehicles go out of service due to accidents, etc. Who knows? We'll see. Until then, I won't be buying this version.

Ive noticed since the weather is cooling off, the low speed booming has gotten a lot worse ;( I also notice sometimes when I shift the car into reverse or drive, I can also here that boom noise.

They made them smaller than they used to be. Maybe folding them in or removing them is the wrong direction to make any difference.

 

 

The go pro thing was done by someone already and it moved as was posted way early in this thread.

3 sets of tires and road forced under 15lbs and new ring and pinion cured our buffeting so I know 100% the mirrors have absolutely nothing to do with the buffeting. There are a handful of folks that have fixed(band aid fix) it by going with new tires RF under 15lbs, axles, ring and pinion, etc.

 

Also, our front rotors even caused buffeting again recently as they were warped and pulstated badly. It has the typical pulsating feeling like every other car when rotors go bad, but it creates the same buffeting throughout the entire cabin almost identical to the buffeting issue. . We've since had new rotors / pads installed.

 

It's definitely a frame/body issue as slight vibration or rumble that is absorbed by the frame resonates through the body/cabin.

Although it would be costly, would installing dynamat decrease the booming at low speeds in the cabin? Id be willing to shell out the money if I knew it would work.

In a 2017 Loaner Suburban right now. LS, ~ 3000 miles, 18" Goodyear tires, 8/16 Build. Booms and Buffets like crazy. Worse than my 2015i Tahoe with 20" wheels. I don't believe that GM has fixed this for MY2017.

Do you have a 15/16 model with the buffeting issue and if so, have you attempted the tire fix and/or any drivetrain fixes?

Good morning everyone.
I picked up my Yukon on Friday with bad news.
After the last exhaust fix and engine mounts GM has no other fixes currently available.
I will say my truck is somewhat better after everything they have done to it. (you can read my prior posts to see what they have done).
I road with a GM field rep for 15 or so minutes and she heard the buffeting when speeds were maintained and the vehicle was in V4 mode.

However when they road in it again the same day with another field engineer and the PicoScope(measures sound) the PicoScope registered the vehicle within normal range.What I think happened during this test drive is the rep didn't maintain the speed long enough for the machine to register the sound for a long enough time for it to register.
So basically they can't do anything else for me.
They offered to make a car payment for me. While that is a nice gesture, it doesn't fix my Yukon.

******There is a workaround to prevent the noise from happening and it works 100% for the buffeting noise). The booming over bumps is something that won't change and I guess I will have to get used to.

Here is what you can do to band-aid the buffeting issue.........

When you turn your vehicle on. Shit from P or M ( This shifts to manual). Press the "+" button on the gear shift until the info screen reads "M5". If you are planning on going over 60 MPH, place it in "M6". And drive along your merry way(it will shift like normal in the manual mode). This prevents the vehicle from going into the dreaded V4 mode.

Yes I am loosing some MPG, but I have no more buffeting issue.

I am well aware that I should not have to go through all this trouble to drive my $65,000 vehicle, but I am willing to do it for now as I have too much going on in my life to take on the Lemon Law process.
So I guess General Motors beat me down...they won.

If disabling active fuel management eliminated buffeting , i suggest you to use range technology it's work better than M5.

      Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.
