2015 Silverado LT Vibration/Shaking

[paxtonman]

Add me to the list of shakers. Live in rural Iowa but just took it to Califonria, as soon as I hit the interstate above 75 the vibration started. I still had 3500 miles to go! The worst was at 82. Took it to the dealer today. They told me they had to wait to hear from GM??

Update,

 

Received my truck back from the dealership last week Friday with half the problem resolved. Dealership put almost 300 miles of testing within 20+ days of them working on it. GM engineer found the exhaust manifold was causing the vibration issue. They replaced the parts and now I am vibration free as long as I am driving in 6 cylinders. The moment it goes into 4 cylinders the vibration is back at the specific speeds of complaints. Dealership says that GM knows this is an issue and is working on a resolution but he does not have a time frame for the fix. I asked if they can disable the feature and he said that it’s a possible solution but cannot disable it until GM makes it official. I will update the post when I get a resolution for the 4 cylinder issue or if the vibration comes back in 6 cylinder mode.

MA-Silverado,

 

I have the 4.3 also, AFM causes a vibration.

 

What vibration were you experiencing in 6 cyl mode again?

Can you post pictures of what exactly they fixed?

Well, I had mentioned that I was done dealing with all of GM's BullSh*t, particularly after they told me that it was "normal operation" and they they wouldn't do anything. The lawfirm I had contacted called me back today, and they ARE interested in taking the class action case, they have already gotten some "experts" to look into ALL of the issues, I gave them a little more information, and they said that either one of their "upper level partners" or the "experts" will be contacting me in the next few weeks regarding the overall case.

Here we go, the ball is finally rolling

(if anyone wants to/ is willing to speak to them, please pm me your Name, Email, and Phone)

I finally found another dealership that is willing to really look at the truck. I have a GMC but taking it to a Chevy dealer that's 50 miles away. The Service Advisor was very quick to acknowledge that there are issues with the 2014s. I think I'm going to use this thread and make a checklist of all the things to look at. LOL. I drop off the truck tomorrow night.

 

I'm kind of curious to see how many other people following this thread have the 5.3 8cyl and are experiencing the same vibration issue.

welcome to my world

actually i shouldnt say that, the 5.3 has the same issues

[tlake84]

I have a 5.3, but currently have a v6 for a loaner. The AFM vibe that comes from the v6 is entirely different than the vibe I get on my 5.3. The AFM vibe on the v6 is in the steering wheel and column. The vibe on my 5.3 appears to be coming from the rear of the truck and causing the center console to shake at 40mph and 75-80mph. The steering wheel on the 5.3 is solid in and out of AFM (for me anyway). The only thing I can feel is a slight surge when going into and out of AFM on the 5.3.

I have the same vibe but from 70-80. Have you noticed the vibe to be much worse during colder weather? Where I'm at the temp swings 35 degrees from when I go to work to when I come home, vibration is less severe in the afternoon .
