2014 silverado vibration video at 45mph and 70mph

[@King-og4hp]

tires if not, check the tie rods if not, check the Steering rack if not, check the control arm, if not burn the truck...

You forgot the u joint

[@jakeydakey3732]

Then burn the truck

“ if not burn the truck “ 😂😂💀

[@eyephone9043]

This is how people discovered the Chevy shake. Some folks spent thousands chasing the problem just to find out it’s the driveshaft.

[@jeffreycoates4408]

@@eyephone9043 I’m one of those people and a new custom driveshaft unfortunately didn’t work either…

[@cesarcoral4009]

I had a great deal on a brand new 2015 Reg Cab, short bed 2WD but on the test drive it vibrated like yours. Sales guy said he would have tires balanced and I could test again. They did and still vibrated. Since they only did front tires, they said they would do all four. Next day came back, same vibration. Walked away from a great deal. They said it is normal and I could not believe they would say such a thing. Told me I could drive another truck and would see it there too.You have got to be kidding me!I really liked the truck and $7,000.00 off the MSRP was a great deal to pass up.Too bad, so glad I noticed it BEFORE I bought it.As info, I had tested a 2014 with 15k miles on it and it too was vibrating, since it was used I chalked it up to abuse of some sort. However, this truck was new.Unbelievable.Glad you got your money back.

[@jaygarcia222]

Lol glad u won the case I've never seen a seat belt shake or the seat itself that's scary! I drive my f150 90 100 mph no problems it actually feels like your on a cloud driving

[@Brianx220]

I have the same problem. Lone Star Chevrolet says no issues found.... This truck is a 2014 Silverado 1500 double cab long bed... They said it may not have been balanced properly... They attempted to fix it and damaged my wheels! They were all scratched and curb checked... They won't do anything for me. Mine shakes like crazy at 70MPH and up. Then to test I drove at 80+ and it starts humming. My truck has 34k now and they won't do anything. Soon warranty will be up and I'll be stuck with it... Hey thanks for this video glad to know I'm not the only one.

[@luisvilla799]

Thats just the, " heartbeat of america" you are feeling not a shake

[@keakar63]

mainly as a result of me posting this video I won my case and got a full refund buy back. their lawyer even told me, without the video evidence we wouldn't have given you anything. my lawyer said they could lie in court all they wanted to, but once a jury would see the video, all the lies about the truck not vibrating would be laughed out of court.

[@Joshcarnley]

How long did the buy back process take? My 2015 silverado has been in 4 times for vibration. Last time they had it 14 days and all they did was replace the tires. Didnt fix it. I uploaded videos on youtube for proof to show court. Mine is actually getting worse as the miles go up.

[@mdizzle93]

Joshua Carnley How many miles do you have?

[@keakar63]

mdizzle93 mine was doing it straight from the dealer on the way home with only just 4 miles on it

[@mdizzle93]

Wow. Mine was also but I didnt think anything of it until I read other people had the same problems. Mine is in the shop as we speak!

[@keakar63]

+Joshua Carnley it took 7 months from the time I got a lawyer but I wasted 2 moths filing lemon law with BBB at first but you have to try this before getting a lawyer. its the way the lemon laws work. then after it was decided it took 30 days before they set up a time and place to turn in the truck, all told it was nearly 11 months after purchase before I was clear from it.

[@shawnmccurdy3622]

I have the same exact issue, except my shaking is WAY worse than that. The dealer keeps telling me the same things they told you. I guess I have to now follow the same process as you. I'm getting another opinion tomorrow, but I'll be starting the process right after. Thanks for the info!

[@esthendy51]

My 2014 Silverado did the same vibration they replaced the driveshaft and wheels and problem went away

[@skyisdlimit6125]

I actucally added Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra on my truck but list in the future but based on several forums plus KZbin videos like this made me decide to take GM off my list. I don't mind having this issue as long as they have a fix but no fix from GM and them denying the problem like they did with ignition switch scandal that cost deaths. Shame... I guess I'll just buy their other products but not the trucks or SUV prone with this kind of issue. Thanks for sharing the vids

[@simplydub]

Mine would vibrate at about 40 and up. But got real bad at 65-74. I discovered that it was my front end axle bearings

[@michaelquinones8618]

glad you won your case !!!

[@proseincproseinc9815]

i want in on that deal chevrolet in foley alabama is a rip off they dont know how to fix anything they tellyou you need new car are truck if you only have 2k miles on it

[@chriesmawingate7070]

Good for you I'm going through this same thing with my 2016 suburban. AND THEY'RE GIVING ME THE SAME RUN AROUND

[@tntmonstertrucks2110]

dumb question have you had it in the air on a lift or jackstands and put it in drive to see if the driveshaft is out? i have a 14 1500 4 door shortbed and im on my 2nd dealer drivehaft that spins about 1/4" runout in the middle of the shaft..

[@DaSauce_59]

Had a similar problem on mine and it’s a suspension problem. I would start by re-torquing the control arm bolts, check the bushings, ball joints, tie rods, struts...

[@keakar63]

if you are having issues with vibrations or other things with your chevy or gmc truck then you should go here and see what others have similar problems www.gm-trucks.com/forums/forum/186-20142015-silverado-sierra-issues-troubleshooting-recallsservice-bulletins/ there are around 6 or 7 things that cause vibrations and some can be fixed while others are just design flaws and lemon trucks

[@TheRikstr1952]

I have a 1500 crewcab SLT GMC and it's been vibrating between 40 and 50 mph since I bought it less than a year ago. I recently had the tires rotated and balanced, thinking that was probably it, but it did no good. I traded in my 2010 Chevy Silverado for this one and it was smooth as silk, same LS2 goodyear tires. Sadly I have put up with this for 15k miles. I just hate going to the dealer and it's only for that 10mph range so I've put up with it. Glad to see I'm not the only one, but now the hassle with the dealer and GM ensues.....

[@MXWJ01]

Does it happen only on V8 or V6, I have a crew cab 2wd w/V6. I have not paid attention or felt anything. Mine has only 6200 miles.

[@jimmyg4186]

I had the same problem in my 2014 regular cab GM truck. I discovered that mud and dirt was getting trapped on the inside of the rim and throwing my tires out of balance. it caused a horrendous vibration/shake. made the whole truck rattle. poor rim design by GM. but that's the problem, the rims.

[@MrCleve44135]

I agree with everything stated in this video. I've tried taking the truck to service department without any resolve. I bought my truck in California and have went so far to seek legal assistance under the lemon law. If anyone knows of a way to fix issue please let me know, if not I will be going after dealership and GM for selling a lemon truck.

[@chrisp8395]

This is what you need to fix your problem to keep in V8 smooth ride. Range active fuel management disable device .👌

[@steven1371]

Had a 15 Silverado, a 17 Colorado, both leases, both had the shake. Bought a 19 Silverado, put the range on it, drives as it should.

[@aaronmccurdy8843]

Bought it for my 2014 4x4 CC 5.3 .. device works great but does not fix the Chevy shake problem. Still there 100%

[@netoflores101]

my 2013 chevy silverado does the same thing. where whobdobi call or go to. i got mine from carmax?

[@jeffthomasperry]

You mentioned having won a case against Chevrolet/GM. I'm working on a similar matter, with another 2014 Silverado. Can you share in what court the case was filed? I'm hoping to read the complaint, etc.

[@keakar63]

been too long now but it was filed in new Orleans, that's the best I can do. hope it helps you but make a video and you have to do the required number of repair attempts through GM first to qualify to file. be careful what you say because they will try to distort any comment you make and use it against you. keep your complaint consistant and short and to the point and don't be social with them and be sure to insist the paperwork reads correctly that its the same exact problem each and every time. they tried to trick me by asking about other stuff and tried to put different reasons for bringing it in on the service tickets so it wouldn't count as being brought in for the same complaint. in one case I made the mistake of saying the radio also faded in and out too much and that is what they put down as the only reason I brought it in so had to go back and call for the dealership manager to get the paperwork done correctly after they said they couldn't change the paperwork after the ticket was printed out. I got it changed before I left so don't trust them, they are actively working with GM against you to prevent a lemon law claim no matter how nice and polite they act to your face.

[@jeffthomasperry]

When you refer to a "complaint" that was "filed," are you referring to a lawsuit that was filed in a court? Or are you referring to a complaint with the BBB or some other agency? If a lawsuit was filed in a court, I should be able to access it. If you have copies from your attorney, would you mine looking up the case number? Thanks again for all your help.

[@keakar63]

yes, I filed lemon law lawsuit in civil court using lemon law lawyer. if you go through arbitration with GM they will deny your claim and then use any admission you make in the arbitration hearing against you in civil court. by going straight to civil court they don't know your case ahead of time and be able to try to argue any details to cloud the issue. make a video clearly showing the truck acting in a way you claim is unacceptible and then do the required repair attempts needed before you qualify for filing a BBB lemon law claim. talk to a lemon law lawyer near you and discuss your case with him. every state has different rules about how lemon law works and the requirements to qualify

[@westtrumpet7]

Mine is kind of weird. It only shakes when I’m at 75 and sometimes it shakes for a good while then it smooths out for a while and keeps going in and out. Usually when I drive 70 mph or 80mph or at any speed it’s smooth kinda odd

[@Jay-ud6jv]

I experience the same thing at the same speed . Id love to find out what is causing it.

[@specialestness]

Jay I only get it on certain patches of road... don’t notice it in any other vehicle though.

[@westtrumpet7]

Like really even at 70 it doesn’t shake it usually shakes hard at 75 lol like wtf!? Lol

[@foolongtea]

This is the most common problem these new K2 trucks have. There are a couple of fixes for it, namely replacing the converter (if defective), and/or shimming the engine mounts.

[@jkarp2462]

Do you have any suspension upgrades i.e. leveling kit with torsion keys? I have the SAME issue at the SAME speeds. Just bout the truck 2 weeks ago and got it ruled down to the torsion keys and jacked to the max.

[@danmaltby3271]

I guess Im sticking to the Ford line, was debating between the F250 and Silverado 2500, thanks for your video sir!

[@keakar63]

yes its sad. I used to be a chevy guy all the way and I realize that any company can have a bad product or issues with new tech but the way I was treated and their attitude that its perfectly fine and normal for a brand new truck to drive like shit and vibrate like hell and then basically tell me im stupid and "all" trucks ride that way" was just so far over the line I don't know how I could ever take the risk of buying any GM product again now knowing that they don't feel like they have to stand behind what they sell or make "any" effort to resolve issues with their products.

[@hochhaul]

i have the same problem i got my gmc sierra last week and i took the car to the dealer ship today... any solution??

[@keakar63]

Abdelaziz Alrasheed in very rare cases it can be solved but the majority of trucks it is just made less noticeable to the point you don't notice it much at first but that stuff is short lived and in a week or two it will be vibrating again just as before. wish I could give you better news but there is no fixing it for most people, if yours vibrates it will always vibrate but sometimes they can do things to make it less noticeable.

[@brandondannys-menary3678]

My truck has a vibration is 4th gear at 55mph, any ideas? All other gears are perfect it's only 4th gear, I have a 199e silverado 2500 manual 5spd

[@csxjim]

I have the 2015 midnight with 1300 miles and at 77mph the vibration is getting crazy. its not in the steering wheel. feel it in the seats and the cupholder shakes a lot. its going in next Tuesday. you can feel the cab shake at 77mph and feel it all through the floor to.

[@bpatt8911]

havin the same problem in my midnight edition, thought it might just be the tires being agressive, but my center console is shakin worse and worse

[@csxjim]

+Brad Patterson Get it in. my prob solved. it was the tires. 1500 miles. 3 of the 4 were excessive road force basically out of round. they replaced them. no more issues

[@bpatt8911]

+csxjim thats wierd for tired to be out so early cause i just rolled 1600 so hopefully its thats easy of a fix, just crazy brand new tires could already be bad

[@csxjim]

+Brad Patterson Yup I thought the same but they said it happens. tell them u know someone who had same issue at 70 and above and mine was tires so that will help them with info. mechanic drive mine and right away said that's way excessive vibration. did road force balance test and that's how they found 4 bad tires

[@csxjim]

+csxjim 77 is where my prob was most noticeable

[@rogerpen1346]

congrats on the win. I have 2 trucks both 2015, one a GMC 2500 Crew cab slt Z71 short box 4x4 work truck with a 400 L slip thank that's always full 7000 kms on it with no modification and a Chev 1500 LTZ Z71 4x4 crew cab short box oem 285/45 R22 rubbers and black rims. the GMC had a shimmy like this but it was caked with mud and shit even the control arms were packed turning the truck into a bad experience.. my Chevrolet does a weird rumbling sound when it kicks into AFM 4 cyl mode at low speeds.. wish there was a way to delete that option.. permanently!! but with only 3000 kms on it.. will most likely void all warrenty.. over all I love both these trucks..

[@mooreusmc08]

So, what was the problem with the truck? I have a 2017 that is doing something very similar.

[@jaysmith4328]

I have had the same problem on a 2014 gmc sierra 1500 double cab. They did an alignment and it seemed to help at higher speeds but still vibrates around 45 and it seems to be coming from the front, I feel it in the gas pedal and steering. Not to mention it totally wore down one of my tires. I just had a buddy who had the same problem and it totaled ruined his tires and the dealership would not replace them (he had 20k on the truck it is 1 year old). My truck has gone past the lemon law but I am worried about the truck down the road. This is very aggravating and its tough to notice. If you dont do a ton of highway miles and you live in the Northeast like I do its tough to notice due to road conditions.

[@jesusgamez2143]

Did you ever find a solution?

[@carloshendrix5685]

My 1998 C1500 does the same thing. Any suggestions? Changed ball joints, idler arm. Was told it could be center control bearing

[@1992Hoffman]

I went through the same thing with mine and finally gave up but it seems to get worse what happened with your truck

[@massivelytiny]

I developed a similar problem with my 2011 silverado after 120K kms. did tire replacement + balancing, nothing. checked engine and transmission mounts, all good.

[@blackgold9831]

I’m having the same problem right now, did u ever get it fixed and find out what the problem was?

[@kingkey91]

I'm having the same problems with my 2014 GMC Sierra what would you suggest ???

[@SuitUpAdventure]

Hi, How long did it take you to get through Lemon Law? Did they ever actually figure out what the issue was? I am having basically the EXACT same experience only with my 1month old Colorado Z71. Its at 80mph and i get a left to right shake and they claim there is nothing wrong/normal shake and have only balanced the tires. I have video where you can't even see the road and cars infront of me the camera is vibrating so bad..

[@keakar63]

SuitUpAdventure it took me 7 months from the time I got the lawyer and it took 2 months before that to go through BBB lemon law and GM representatives stalling and wasting my time while they were "trying to collect all the repair documents in the case" even though I had already given them all the documents. they said they had to wait for the dealer to supply those same documents and then when GM finally had them, they said the truck is normal and there was nothing they could do. altogether, I bought my truck in August of 2014, filed with BBB in September, got a lawyer at the end of October and i just got my buy back in the middle of this month

[@chrislett5093]

Same issue, 2016 1500 Silverado. No fix or diagnosis either...

[@mdizzle93]

I have a 2014 Silverado that is doing the same thing. The service tech told me that they know about it and that the engineers are looking into it.

[@EdDuce42]

I have a 2014 Silverado LTZ 4X4. This is my third Silverado. I have noticed a small viberation at times, but I've noted that is is always on the same road in the same stretch of that road. It goes away when I get further down that road, always. The road looks smooth. Anyway, I glad you won your case. My question is, how can you make the statement that 1 in 5 GM trucks have this problem? I disagree with that unless you have substaicial evidence of that, which I seriously doubt. I'm 64 years old and have been driving Chevrolets since I was 18. I don't think that there are going out of business either.

[@keakar63]

GM, (you know them guys?) well they themselves publicly printed customer complaints from all trucks sold in America in 2014 and 2015 and that report clearly stated that 1 in 5 new truck owners were not happy with their truck and of those who reported complaints, 98% of those complaints were about vibration issues that continue even after repair attempts. its GMs own numbers that say its 1 out of 5 are having vibration issues, not mine. I used to be a lifelong chevy guy forever and had a chevy truck all my life. and there are always issues with a certain number of trucks being made by any company and wanted to give them that benefit too until I learned just how bad the response was when I had a problem AND that they will refuse to stand behind their products and fix it or replace it. had they simply done that and acted as any "reputable" company is expected to, then I might still be a chevy fan, now im very leary of trusting them. they actually had the nerve to stand there with a straight face and tell me "all trucks shake and vibrate like that, its perfectly normal" and then told me there was nothing that needed to be fixed oin my truck so they were done trying and if I wasn't happy, that's my problem.

[@playzfahdayz]

I paid $46,000 for my truck and it's had very similar vibration issues. I've brought it to the dealership several times and they refuse to work on it anymore, claiming "it's normal for silverados to vibrate" -- What a joke of a company. I will never buy another Chevrolet. Worst financial mistake of my life, thus far.

Great video. I can hear the shaking in your voice. Huge problems with the transmissions in these trucks ( I have one) Congratulations on your success.

[@MichelLinschoten]

4l60e ? Hardly issues it will when you hit 200k miles or so, easy to rebuild and eady to beef up .

[@stuartwood2677]

@@MichelLinschoten I see you tamed down your original response. If you knew about these trucks then you'd know that the problems thousands of them are having from 0 miles on is related to the 6L80 transmission (particularly ones made in Mexico), faulty software in the TCM, and the faulty torque converter used on a particular range of production runs. I have 2 other trucks with 4L60 and 4L60E and they are good transmissions. The setup in this particular truck, however, is not. Additionally, we're not talking about 200k miles, we're talking off the line brand new trucks, or trucks experiencing multiple issues from 0-40k miles.

[@letswalkinthewoods1462]

Feel for you guys. So glad my truck don't do this. I've actually tried to find the shake. But its not there

[@CBVTX]

Just backed out of a deal on a 2017 Sierra Z71 for this exact reason, so GM hasn't fixed squat and likely won't.

[@anthonymacneil2279]

Got mine fixed on a 17 High Country 6.2L they flushed transmission and put Amsoil ATF vibration gone. The first time they balanced the wheels and it went and checked driveshaft and it's been smooth ever since knock on wood

[@eugenelefevre711]

hey keaker63, i am currently looking to purchase a 2014 5.3L silverado from a dealer in kenner. I noticed your newspaper was from the New Orleans area so i was wondering if you could say which dealer you were having issues with?

[@keakar63]

I got mine from best Chevrolet and throughout the whole process the service dept lied and denied everything and was as deceptive as they could be. they have the best prices there but they also act like con artists after your purchase wanting to never admit anything is wrong with it or help you in any way. this video was after the vibrations were improved after several attempts and these guys riding in this truck say it doesn't vibrate at all, need I say more about their honesty or integrity?

[@keakar63]

keakar63 they also use your truck to run errands and pick up and deliver parts all in the name of "road testing the truck" and they have to send the trucks to the tire place down the street to get them balanced because they are too cheap to get their road force balance machine fixed, one of the mechanics there told me it has been broken for over a year. every time they worked on my truck they put 165 miles on it then 75 miles and the last time they put 198 miles on it. I find that excessive for any reasonable test drive just as any normal person would but they also said putting hundreds of miles on trucks to "road test" them is "normal.

[@keakar63]

keakar63 if you do get one DO NOT get the 308 gears, get the 342 gears, the 308 gears are junk and it will feel weak

[@eugenelefevre711]

keakar63 Hey thank you for your responses. i currently have a 2011 4.8l engine in my silverado and always had problems with the passenger seats rattling during all speeds. I had the same issues with Best Chevy never doing anything about it. I am really close to trading this truck in for the 2014 5.3l with the 3.42 gear ratio but all of the forums were really scaring me off. i read a lot in the other forums and it did seem like a lot of people who were having the vibration issue had the 3.08. Also, it seemed like a good bit of them had a 4x4. Like you said the price of this new truck really seems like a good deal, but i don't want to constantly have the feeling that something is going to go wrong any minute

[@keakar63]

EUGENE LEFEVRE im not saying its the 308 gears, all trucks and all gears seam to have the vibrations. when I suggested the 342 gears it was strictly as far as the way the truck responds when pressing the gas pedal. right now I wouldn't let anyone I know buy a GM truck right now weather its chevy or GMC and the 2016's are going to be another redesign with first year 8 speed trannys and other stuff so if your truck isn't falling apart, keep it and wait until 2017 to look at the trucks again and see if they have fixed these and any new issues they find with the new 2016's. otherwise if you want a new truck now maybe look at ford or dodge. its not about brand loyalty or im mad at GM for screwing me but its just about the best trucks with the least problems being sold today are ford and dodge or toyota

[@oliverbiermann4056]

hey there you guys that have 2015 silverado its the v4 mode that makes the truck vibrate you can do one of two thing ... one is drive the truck in manual up to 5th gear or go get a EDGE CS2 SUPER CHIP and turn afm off this is much better in V8 mode only no vibrations as per gm they wont do anything about it its part of there fuel management system for best fuel consumption the EDGE CS2 is around 700 buck best thing ever for this truck also tightens up the shifts and i have after market exhaust twinned out from a magnaflow truck sounds great like a truck should

[@keakar63]

+Oliver Biermann the "main" vibration issue is NOT related to the v4 mode even though if your truck has v4 mode switching issues it does cause "some" vibration issues. there are about a dozen different things that cause the vibration issues and a few can be fixed if they are not related to the design defect. in those cases people think they found the vibration fix for the truck when in reality they had a different vibration issue from the design defect and that is why they solved their vibration issues. many solve the problem with any of the following, rigging the v4 mode by tying it open or by using a chip and reprograming/ replace drive shaft/ replace rear end/ replace rear end ring gears/ replace suspension/ lift or lower truck with all new suspension/ new tires and rims. and every one of these guys think they solved the problem when they didn't, they only had a different vibration problem with their truck

You have transmission shutter ..usually between 42-55 mph on light acceraltion..If fluid change does not work you need a new TC..If it starts after your fluid is warmed up and not cold at first run that is clear indication on bad TC.....If TC flush/replacement does not cure it is in computer on programing ..Some are buying after market programs to cure it ....

bought new 2014 Silverado 2wd last year, less than 16,000 miles on it as of 03,09,16. from day one of purchase I noticed the same vibration. I thought it was just stiff, tight, maybe just needed to be run some? less than 16,000 miles later I still have same vibration. it hasn't gotten any worse or better although I have noticed if I drive it in manual shift rather than auto, the vibration nearly goes away completely. as many complains as I have seen here from all you guys, no way am I going threw the hassle of running back / forth to service center, I can live with it? rather have my chevy than a ford or even worse a dodge anyday.

My 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT does the same vibration after i had the U-joints, Front axles and Bearings replaced and new weeels that are balanced and it still happens. What else could it be??

[@keakar63]

in your case, if you had no vibration before the repairs, then I think its most likely a result that they messed up when replacing the u-joints. when you replace the u-joints, the yoke looks the same on both sides but it has a "slight" offset to it and if the shaft wasn't marked to ensure it was installed bat with the same orientation, then it will cause it to have a vibration. but since you also changed wheels, they might also be the cause so put your old wheels and tires back on to test if that is your issue, if not then have them flip the yoke and reinstall the u-joint.

[@michaelquinones8618]

look into your slip yoke, it needs to be regreased or the drive shaft needs to be replaced or balanced.

[@toddroush6944]

Alignment?

[@AJGT350]

I just took a 2018 Z71 Crew Cab 5.3 for a test drive. Got it up to 70 and had the vibration. Brand new truck with 10 miles on it

[@johnpark5602]

check the driveshaft

[@beamerino]

It's an unbalanced driveshaft

[@jamrspancurak938]

Beamernator true but shouldn't be on brand new truck

[@averygentry35]

Beamernator nah mine does it too they all do its the variable timing and the cylinder cut back, and its not that bad as shown in this video.

[@hochhaul]

jamrs pancurak Happens all the time on new trucks. Ford GM Ram even Toyota.

[@CBVTX]

hochhaul Not Toyota.

[@hochhaul]

KZbin Addict the 2nd gen Tundra has DEFINITELY had vibration problems. You can thank Toyota for their hard on for shitty 2-piece driveshaft that almost always have high speed vibration problems. Use Google and check shit out before sharing your dumb fucking opinion. www.toyotaproblems.com/tsbs/Tundra/2016/ www.tundras.com/threads/70-mph-vibration-dealer-wont-fix-ideas.9105/ www.tundratalk.net/forums/#/topics/71587 www.tundratalk.net/forums/#/topics/592346 www.tundratalk.net/forums/#/topics/583730 www.tundratalk.net/forums/#/topics/102782 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKLbkIaQnKitkNk kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIarnX5jgKqLfJY Not to mention Tundra frames, beds, and tailgates rust rot so bad that Toyota lost a billion dollar lawsuit. And that 5.7 is responsible for more oil leaks than a BP oil rig.

[@daveanderson7737]

Have same problem need help

[@ken45y]

I just got a 2014 last year and only seem to notice it when I am parked and seems worse in reverse sitting idle...

[@bradleysteeves7891]

They say engine motor mounts care the rough idle, mine comes and goes when stopped at a light, one day smooth, next day like plug wire off. My 1999 lumina smooth as silk, I have to turn down the radio to make sure it is still running. Who needs automatic engine shut off at traffic lights,

[@southpawsgarage]

THEY ARE FINDING THEY HAD TORQUE CONVERTER ISSUES THAT CAUSE DRIVELINE VIBRATION...

[@Chief6067]

Driveshaft out of balance or out of true

[@isabelestrella7234]

My torque converter will be change next week, lets see what happens.

[@ramiromacias85]

ISABEL Estrella the torque converter swap on your truck fixed the vibration?

[@MXWJ01]

Ramiro Macias No it didn't, two days ago some exhaust muffler dampener was change along with body mounts

[@isabelestrella7234]

The replacement parts didn't take care of the problem, it did minimize the vibration. I just took it back and they have ordered a water pump?? I don't think that will solve the problem either.

[@nicholaspatterson9275]

My 2000 silverado does the same thing and ive spent tons of $ to fix it and have no results. Problem still there. Drive shaft is the next thing im going to replace. Does any one have an idea to help other than getting rid of it lol.

[@jasonlewis5580]

Did you a drive shaft fix your issue?

[@jasonlewis5580]

Did a driveshaft fix your issue?

[@fahadalkandari2699]

i got the same issue on my 2014 chevy silverado 120km/h this is so stupid, never had this problem with my 2009 single cap.

[@dennisbochmann3820]

Change tires, my 00 Silverado did that,GM put Michelin tires on it,took care of problem.

[@palmcoast26]

if they are balanced and not out of round any tire will work.

[@skyisdlimit6125]

If you look at GM forums so many of them have the same issue and most already tried changing tires and all the basic precautions. One of the solution was fixing the drive shaft but why is it that Chevy engineers can't come up with a simple solution and wait for their customers to keep looking for a solution then deny them that there's a problem. It reminds me of the key ignition switch scandal where they waited till several people die cause of it.

[@5starcadi596]

I have a 2015 Escalade that vibrates at 75-85mph. And feels like it’s floating when at that speed. Dealership said they couldn’t find anything. Anyone that has the same issue and got fix let me know. I’m willing to come out of my pocket to get it fix and skip the warranty.

[@felipeordazchavez6941]

Check your front frame mounts , my 2010 was doing the same thing .

[@Mr.Beastforpresident]

Phil Chavez You mean the cab mount bolts or what? Also what are you referring to by checking them? Are they too loose, too tight?

[@gjurczyc]

my 2016 was driving me Insane. I mived front to back and swapped rear to front 95% gone

[@rizodessicsuper-coltown3416]

To All, Believe or not, Only solution is to go with Ford F-150. Especially now 2018 and 2019 F-150 v6 power stroke 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@rizodessicsuper-coltown3416]

V6 power stroke 3.0 TDI Or. 3,5 v6 gas Twin turbo. Friend of mine, Still have so smooth ride, Over 120,000 miles. Ford is so still durable,. They still didn't start yet to trick and screw their valuables customers .

[@beast1359]

Driveshaft is longer than it should be . Causing it to wind up which causes the vibrations.

[@mattarmstrong4852]

beast1359 I had mine cut down slightly and rebalanced. No change at all unfortunately. I'm chasing this issue as well.

[@richadjimenez4017]

Toyota dealer did the same to me I went 8 times for the same reason Camry se 2021 never found the problem till guarantee was over.

[@jerrypurnell2591]

The problem with these trucks is GM is still using AAM driveshafts and they are shit. If you are lucky and don't have the shake it is because you got lucky with a AAM driveshaft or you have a Spicer (Dana) driveshaft. The AAM driveshafts are not balanced correctly from the manufacture. If you take it to a good driveshaft shop they will balance it and the problem with the Chevy shake is fixed.

[@Eli0310]

I've owned a 2014 silverado crew cab, standard box with the same vibration issues. took it to the dealer 4 times. the shimmed the center bearing, tried adjusting pinion angles. all this did was move the vibration up and down on the speed spectrum. I ended up getting in an accident. I them test drive a 2016. seemed good and them at about 10k miles, the same vibration came in at about 70 mph. I lived with it for about 30 k miles. put it on a Dyno today. Drive shaft broke off at the differential u-joint. there is something VERY BAD about these 2 piece drive shafts. unfortunately it will probably take someone getting killed to get Chevrolet to open its eyes. Buyer Beware. I have pics of the damage. I may be contacting Chevrolet or writing them a letter of concern.

[@MrLowrider3]

I have the same problem they first replaced the torque converter and it still was vibrating and I took it to the dealer today and they told me they were going to put some kind of mounts on the truck they said the 4cyl mode is causing the vibration and the mounts that there going to put in are supposed to fix the problem but idk I have had ALOT of issues with my truck at first when I would turn left it would make a popping noise and so I took it to the dealer and the service manager went on a ride with me and said it was normal and I insisted that it wasn't so after I got fed up with them I pulled it in the shop were I work and the control arm bolts were loose and then after I went back to the dealer and bitch at them that there technicians were shitty workers so I got an alignment done by them for free since the bolts were loose and messed up the alignment then at 10,000 miles I got a loud screeching sound in the front and the back I took it to the dealer and they said it was normal, that the reason it did that was because it was cold outside and then again I went to the dealer more then 3 times I lost count but they kept saying it was normal I was really pissid off and told them you guys better replace them and trust me I didn't say it nice so they brough took it in the shop and they first smeared a lot of grease on the sway bar bushing and try to say they fixed the problem and the first day I brought it home SCREEECH I was pissed and took it back to the dealer and this time we made a scene at the dealer and so then they replace the bushings for sure but after I got my truck back I saw that they put grease on the bushings agin so I never went back and the back screech I couldn't duplicate it to them but showed them videos of it but I took it to another dealer for the vibration issue and they ask me what else the other dealer replace and I told them the bushings and so they look At it and they to said there was a lot of grease on the bushings and believe they never replace the bushings so I'm just not going to drive the truck anymore after I get it back I'm not sure to try to claime it as a lemon vehicle now that the truck has 26,000 miles on it I'm just mad that a brand new truck has that many problems I bought New truck for a reason and the reason was not to have any issues with my vehicle o and now the AC button sometime won't work when I try to turn it on

[@mattlauer3802]

Replace ujoints, use Spicer u joints. Other brands won't help.

[@mattshaw3225]

Same here......2016.........had mine in and they say its a truck its going to shake......

[@richardmartens2330]

I wonder if it could be the driveshaft out of phase.? I have heard that if for some reason the driveshaft is removed and then not put back in the exact same spot as it was removed that it can create a complete drivetrain vibration. That vibration can be felt through the whole truck and will at certain speeds become worse.

[@ljkeeley6686]

+Richard Martens you are definitely on the right path.. its either the drive shaft out of balance or the rear end

[@2pacnasgame]

so did anyone ever find out what the problem was once they were told they had to buy back

[@kurleys]

I have the same problem with my 2014 Silverado...

[@rogerheatley8494]

Ok... Now you have a vibration problem! Some of these dudes bottles only have the water rippling but your damn bottles are shaking, now that's vibration. My 2017 sierra is smooth as glass so I think maybe a bad batch got out and it costs too much to fix the problem. 1% of 1 million does not constitute a recall or fix especially if safety isn't involved, I work in a manufacturing facility so I'm familiar with how this goes. Either way, see if they will put you in another truck... keep testing them til you find one you like.

[@vyperandzeus]

My truck also. McKenzie GMC has had my truck for a month. They feel the vibration and have acknowleded GM engineers are working on the issue. They have told me that it was at first a fuel mangement issue, then a tire balance issue and now they are replacing all the body mounts. I will also be using Florida Lemon Law if it is not resolved. I paid $36k for my truck, GM better believe i also will not put up with this bullshit.

[@Mr.Beastforpresident]

garry large Did you ever get it resolved?

[@GutierrezAngel95]

My issue is the same actually worse I just don't think I will win since my truck is modified 😫 shakes my center console as well as my passenger seat and my passenger door panel

[@raunelgomezjr6449]

Angel Gutierrez same here I have A drop and 26” wheels but idk if it’s because of wheels or the drop or maybe driveshaft

[@GutierrezAngel95]

Raunel Gomez Jr I ended up putting all my stock parts back and and stock rims as well and got an alignment and it drove like a charm sadly I ended up trading my truck for a scat pack lol

[@dinoferrante1718]

I blame you

[@kurtzimmerman1637]

you should loan this truck to Thelma and louise.

[@vidalmartinez6416]

Suspension problem for sure

[@carloslivinloud]

My truck does it but like only on first gear is that the driveshaft or is it just my tires lmao

[@jarvisbradley9132]

Has anyone got anything to work? My truck is doing the same thing. It goes back in the shop on Saturday.

[@keakar63]

Jarvis Bradley the only thing that works is to buy a different non GM truck. start your lemon law process and in about a year your lawyer should get your money back and you can put this behind you. I would suggest you stop driving it or they will claim that you using it proves the truck is working fine so go buy a replacement truck. its up to you if you just want to eat an $8-$10k loss to just trade it in on a different brand and not bother with the lemon process. I cant afford to take such a loss so I just have to wait it out and I now drive an 04 Tacoma as my DD truck.

[@americanmade9002]

I have 2015 Colorado and it does the same thing at 80 mph

[@kevinjoy3050]

I have same issue in my 2012 I’ve tried everything and replaced everything except rear leafs still have the wiggle can’t stand it anymore

[@timothyenoch4919]

My Colorado did this too and they did nothing and simply told me all Colorado’s do it..
