I don't agree with what GM said, apparently this is a feature, and that any other vehicle driving over that road would do the same thing.   I think they just dont want to fix it.  I've never experienced any shaking like that in a vehicle before.

Normal or not, I think the mirror design on this generation is pretty bad (as well as ugly).

GM refused to fix this, and said it was a normal feature of the tuck.   

 

 

Just an update- I had my truck in for service and noted to the service manager that the mirror seems really loose. It is being replaced under warranty. I suggest that you try another dealership.

my driver's side mirror is shaking and rattling so bad i think the mirror is going to come off when i hit minor-medium bumps and shakes and rattles moderately on small bumps/imperfections, mostly on maintained dirt road but sometimes on pavement.  i talked with the service manager and showed him a video, and he said it's normal.  he has a 2022 and it does it.  they did say they will look at it but i don't expect anything.

 

Passenger side mirror is solid.  My 2020 would do it on rare occasion and only with a significant bump.

 

GM reached out to me a while ago, as result of a survey I responded to, and asked me to send a copy of the video to them.  haven't heard back.

 

 

That is not true I have a 2024 sierra 2500 drivers mirror has been replaced 3 times and I'm bringing it back again. My passenger mirror has a little movement, it doesn't shake when going over bumps.

I hit a railway crossing @ a much higher speed than I normally would. Yes it did shake. I crossed another crossing @ a more moderate speed & there wasn't any movement.

 

I wonder if it was mounted rigidly, it might cause damage to the cameras during impacts?

My 2024 is on it's third driver's side mirror. The dealer will not try to tighten anything they just replace it.

The passenger side mirror on mine pops and sometimes fails to fully extend/retract. Also shakes quite a bit when it's extended, like previously described in this thread it acts like it's out of its track and/or stripped. I can reset it but that doesn't last for long. The drivers side one does not (yet) give issues. Very irritating, especially at highway speed. Disappointing as the truck only has about 24,000 miles on it.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
