I I replaced my struts at 45k with  part number 84061228 and jit rides much better than the original ones. i also just saw an even newer part available 84176631.  When these struts totally fail they ride like hell and you must replace them asap! It feels like no shocks and springs,  just solid and extremely dangerous!! I mean stiff as hell.

 

I also upgraded my 2015 suburbans tires  to the BF goodrich plus (linked below). These tires are oem on the Escalade and do ride much better with less road noise. Still booms in 4 cyl mode at speeds like 25mph and a couple different conditions. If you do mostly highway driving you should be fine, but at this price point it's ridiculous to even say such a thing .lol

Since I replaced my 4 shocks with normal gas shocks and since I installed 17" methods with yokohama and tuned the car  with full time v8 mode and also replaced the steering bushing with the updated ones all of that car is normal now that any gm suv should be.

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

Two months ago I bought a new 2017 Tahoe that has this issue (buffeting and booming that causes ear pressure).  I've taken it to my local Chevy dealership twice now.  First time they removed the headliner and saw that the roof wasn't glued to one of the cross bars so they fixed that. I brought it back a second time because the buffeting and booming was still there.  The service manager said he test drove it and found nothing wrong.  He said the car feels normal to him and another mechanic.  He said he has never had anyone else claim this problem.  I brought the car back for a third time today but the service manager said they won't even look at it. I know that I have to give them 3 chances to fix the issue before I file for lemon law buy back.  The Tahoe will sit at the dealership for the next 10 days while I'm out of town for work.  

 

Here's what my very helpful Chevrolet Customer Assistance Rep had to say about my situation today:

"At this time, the dealer isn't going to make any repairs to the vehicle because they don't find anything wrong. Being that we're not technically inclined here at Customer Service, we're at a standstill due to the dealer being the eyes and the ears for us and them not able to proceed further because there isn't an issue present at this time."

 

Anyone have any advice?  Can I start the Lemon Law buy back process or must they actually attempt to fix something?

I assume when you refer to ear pressure/ booming/ buffeting,  it is with all windows up and no open sun roof, correct?

Funny thing is I've spoken to several people with these vehicles and all of them say they have no such issues and they love their Tahoes..........

Folks, the roof is the problem. I bought some hard rubber stock from MMC and fabbed up some spacers to wedge between my roof rack and roof and the problem disappeared.  Take off the spacers and it comes right back.  My 'burban is awesome now with the spacers in place. 

 

These trucks are made of extremely thin sheetmetal.  The roof, short of welding it to the bows, will just pull itself free.  You need to hold it down by some means.  I suppose you could rivet it to the bows but you'd need to seal it very well.  Maybe one could bedliner the roof to stiffen it if they wanted.

 

Anyway, if anyone has this issue, you have two choices.  Make GM buy it back or find a way to hold the roof down.  All the tire combos, etc... might make it a bit better, but rest assured you will find a road or speed condition that gets the roof flapping.  Hold the roof down, you can run all kinds of tires, etc... just like any other normal vehicle, and enjoy them.

Very interesting. Can you post pictures of these spacers and where you put them?

Well i was one of the  original people that started this for him I bought a 2015 Yukon with cabin pressure I got them to do a buyback.  Then I ordered the 2015 midyear that supposedly fix the problem. I did not except the vehicle when I Came in it had the same problem. My wife would love to have a Yukon we just took out a 2018 yukon xl.  And it has the same issue from all the way back into 2015.  I give up I will wait until 2020 when we see the next model. Its unreal.  It is so bad that I talk to salesman at the dealership and they are having trouble selling The yukons because of the issue. They 99 out of a 100 have the issue.

Frank, I ordered two cross bars so I can try your fix.  Can you provide a picture of the fabricated spacers and/or a link to the hard rubber stock you bought?

Been a while since I was on this forum. Thought I would check in.  Can't say I'm surprised to see that this issue still exists. Many of us always said it seems to be a basic design issue, and looks like that is the case. Sad.

 

My update is that after 78,000 km, I hardly notice the buffeting. And no, it's not that much m used to it.... it's still there. But not nearly as prevalent as it was when the truck was new. Only in certain road surfaces, or after the vehicle sits for several days and flat spots the tires, is it as bad as when new. Why the improvement? No idea. Only theory I have is the suspension and body bushings are getting worn/softer, and changing either stiffness (and hence natural frequencies) and/or the transmissibility of vibrations from the tires and drivetrain.

 

in fact, the worst vibration in feel in then steering wheel is in V4 mode. Definitely generates more vibration. But, we've learned to live with it. 

 

We we still like the vehicle for its size for our family, and it looks great. But I will certainly never buy a GM product after this turd-mobile. GM screwed something up on this and decided not to come up with a true fix. Arse-wipes!

 

i haven't tried Franks fix with the roof rack cross bars, but thought of it back in 2014 right after I bought the thing. I guess I couldn't  bring myself to fork over $500 more to GM (or whatever they cost) to fix their screw up. On principle!

I did model them in SolidWorks but I have not built to the model. I just made them to-fit with my band saw.

 

So my prototypes are urethane bar stock.  I used (2) 1.5" square pieces (24" length) glued together but going forward I would use something harder.  Maybe something like this...  https://www.mcmaster.com/#=1ava2d9

 

I also suspect going to 36" will help as well.  I use 2" wide weather stripping between the bars and roof itself.

 

I drilled holes to get the radii and then cut into them tangentially with the band saw to try to mimic the shape of the roof racks.  I did have to purchase the roof racks separately since my truck did not come with them.

 

The good news is that I am completely happy with this truck.  I went up a size to some more off road worthy tires since I camp and occasionally get the truck into 4 low (locker works!).  It rougher as expected but it's not different now than any other truck with larger harder tires.

 

If this does not get rid of the booming, Dynamat or equivalent will.  Buffeting is a very low frequency phenomenon where the booming is higher in frequency and well addressed by Dynamat or similar.

It's sad GM walked away from this issue. Other than being skeptical about small turbo charged engines, I do believe Ford just torched GM with the Expedition...better thoughtful design, better technological features, better sound system, and comparable price points.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      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.
