Description of the problem | I began to notice severe vibration in the drive train at 55 mph, similar to a washboard effect. In addition, the vehicle down shifted very hard when stopping. I reported this problem to the dealer on this date and they said it was normal operation. In december, of 2014, i tried passing a vehicle and experienced a loud thump in the rear end of the vehicle, i thought the drive shaft was going to fall out. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they could not replicate the issue. I have taken the vehicle to two different dealerships a total of 3 times to address this issue. They both claim this is normal. Now the vibration has gotten worse, it can occur at 40-45, 50-55, and 60 to 65. I have owned gm trucks before and the only time i had an issue like this was when the drive shaft on a 1994 safari van was out of balance had to be re balanced. I have noted several other complaints from other 2014 -15 vehicle owners. This type of operation has to be damaging the gears and transmission. I have called the gm area rep and got an attitude from him. However, i do have another appointment with the selling dealer, (3rd with him, 4th over all) this week. And was told to call the gm rep when i arrive. |
