I’ve had the fix done several times and a new differential. Still have the noise. Waiting for my damn lawsuit to be over.

Not true, I have an AT4 with the SU4 front axle that made noise...

 

Dealer was finally able to get the stub shaft out with a wedge. They had to pull the diff cover, and put the wedge between the center pin and stub shaft to get it out. When the shaft was reinstalled with the PIP parts, the shaft went right back to touching the center pin. Me and the tech saw it first hand and it didn't look right. Oh well, the noise maker 7000 is put back together and still making noise, just not as loud... Yet...

Otherguy, the way I am understanding it is, the stub shaft has left and right free play and it hits the center pin, is that correct? If that is the case, do you know how much free play there is, and would it be possible to shorten the stub shaft to prevent it from hitting the pin?

16 days in he shop and I finally get the truck back. Still not fixed!!! GM has updated the TSB to not take in or order anymore parts for this issue for the near future. They are claiming unavailable of parts.

Beyond fed up with the lack of quality control from GM.

36 days in shop total for issues over the last 9 months. Filing lemon paperwork now.

I know it’s miserable,  File a claim with the BBB and make them take it back!

About how long does the process take, once the claim is filed with the bbb? Just filed claim, faxed and uploaded documents.

Just started all my BBB stuff yesterday as well.

I'm sure if the shaft was shorter, we wouldn't have these issues... but hey I am not an automotive engineer, so what do I know?

GA does not accept the BBB as a certified organization for Lemon Law. You can use it, but the GA consumer protection division has all the forms you need to submit at no cost.

Per state law GM has to have this resolved in 20 days from filing. Let me tell you it does not happen that fast. This is my second lemon in a row. Fist one took over three months before I had a replacement vehicle.

I spoke with my Senior GM service advisor yesterday and was rudely informed that due to COVID they are not processing buyback or replacements at this time.

Funny how they think their policy can negate state law.

Sorry to spam with updates. GM repurchase department just called. The Sr service advisor is very wrong in the information they are providing.

GM is still processing lemon exchange and buybacks. But there is a back log from them being closed for a month.

My advice is to call often to stay at the front of the line with this process. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

I had the stub shaft replaced in the Fall. Just took it on its first 100km highway trip since the fix and it's making the same noise. Back to the dealership it goes. 

 

What are my lemon law options in Canada? This will be the fourth time in for the same issue now.

Take a look at the Canada Office of Consumer Affairs site.

There are no “Lemon Law” provisions in Canada but they have their own process.

One such is the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP).

About 100-125 miles after they replaced the parts per the PIP... Its back!

Expect it to take 2 to 3 months.

Thanks, but it doesn't matter now. I found a good deal on a Tundra and got rid of the POS.

Yea, don’t blame you one bit.

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
