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.

    • 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.  
    • 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.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
