How many of you DO NOT experience buffetting and vibration problem?

[17Tahoe]

Just took the 2017 on a 450 mile drive and it couldn't have been better. It doesn't even buffet with only one back window down at speed. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

Can't do that in Virginia. 20 mph over or 80 mph is reckless driving, which is a misdemeanor criminal offense.

Anything 5+ over the speed limit is likely a misdemeanor if written as a state charge. At least that's how it is in Missouri. We have no set speed for "careless and imprudent" (what wreckless driving is here), just have to document there was a substantial risk to life or property. The county I live in, you post bond on 31 and over.

That's exactly where I did it. Worth the VERY SLIGHT risk of getting caught to mr. Just did 1/2 mile or so over 80.

Depends on what part of Virginia. In Fairfax county they might throw you in jail. They're nuts about speeding in Fairfax.

That would apply to all of Northern Virginia.

I never figured out why either. It's actually kind of weird when you consider the rest of the country

And some places they haul every out of towners before the judge rather than releasing you on a summons.

I replied to an earlier post referencing the motor mounts: "Yes, evidently the motor mount issue is something that GM has failed to properly diagnose because I had a '99 Tahoe that had the issue with the broken motor mounts. I guess because I really enjoyed the '99 Tahoe, I decided to purchase a '08 Tahoe, and guess what...YES, another broken motor mount. My '08 also has the cracked dash. I am keeping my eyes open for the same issues with the newer SUVs because I do like GM SUVs, but I will definitely hesitate to buy another one if these issues persists."

Thanks for your post because I see that this issue is continuing even on the newer models. WOW! At least you caught it before your warranty expired.

No buffering or vibration on my 2016 LTZ. I do think the hood metal is too thin as I can see it dimple and flutter at high speeds.

2015 Denali 50K+ .. no issues. None.

 

[calif phil]

I was asking a friend with a ‘16 if they have buffeting. He said no. In fact no issues in 40k miles. He said they will probably trade it in next year for one just like it.

A dealer called me today letting me know about the big discount on 2015 Tahoe. On the phone I metioned to him that I am reading so many owners reporting the buffetting/vibration issue on Youkon and Tahoe. He seemed surpriced to what I mentioned, he said he had never heard of it. He said he had sold many Youkon and Tahoe this year and none of them reported the issues.

I have been under the impression that there are more Youkon/Tahoe with the issues than those that have no issue, it's like you would be really lucky to get one without the issues, maybe I am wrong.... How many of you have a 2015/2016 Youkon/Tahoe and DO NOT have buffetting and vibration issue?

my 2016 Yukon does not have the issue. My 2014 Escalade did not have the issue.

I do believe the owners who say they have a vibration. I have a noise in my passenger seat that the dealer has heard but simply cannot fix it. It is annoying. Build-Quality on the GM SUVs is not always the best.

A week of ownership of 2018 LT and no noise. On the drive home, I thought I might have felt some buffeting but I told myself it’s in my head —and it went away. Nothing since

2015i, 60k, vibrates like a mfer, on the highway, on the street, everywhere. Clunks too.
Needs tires and an alignment but it's way worse than it should be. U joints are fine.
Cousin had the same issue and was in the dealer weekly trying to get it fixed. Eventually traded on a 2017 and no issues.

How bad are the vibrations? Teeth chattering? Just curious as to how smooth and quiet I should expect my ride to be.

I gather that they are like a thumping in your ears.

Thats the booming and buffetting. Two different issues to contend with!

 

[JWBGMC]

My 2016 Yukon Denali does not experience the buffeting.

 

[noob]

I have a 2017 Escalade ESV and do not experience buffeting. I do get a slight vibration between 70 and 75, but super smooth below and above that. My 2010 escalade vibrates significantly more, so I don't consider it having the same issue as some of the others have posted. I did drive a 2016 escalade esv before I bought mine, and it started shaking at 45mph and never went away so long as you stay above it.

2017 Yukon Denali with no buffeting or vibrating. Rock solid at all speeds. I do notice more interior resonance with the windows down than my 2002 Tahoe. I consider myself one of the lucky ones.
