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

[jem556]

I now have 50k miles on my 2015 Tahoe LT 4WD with Goodyear tires and although I have several issues to complain about over previous generations of this vehicle, I've never experienced the vibration and/or buffeting problems...

Can't say that I have buffeting either (unless I have rear windows down, ugh!).

11,000 miles on 2016 Yukon SLT XL, no buffeting.

Posted earlier but now have 1500 miles and a 10 hour road trip.....not a hint of vibration at any speed. As I mentioned there's *maybe* a hint of buffeting if I really try but really, mine has none.

Very pleased with the purchase (17 SWB Premier, black factory 22s).....in fact I'm stunned its as composed as it is for its size....MRC perhaps?

Might as well chime in.

50k on my 16 SLT 4x4 w sunroof. Had factory 18s with goodyear assurance tires up until a couple weeks ago. Now have 22x9 285/45r22 Nitto 420S. No buffeting vibration at all except the Nittos get a flat spot sitting in the hot garage for a few days without being driven. It goes away within 5 minutes of driving after the tires warm up. Known annoyance with the 420S, nothing to do with the Yukon.

Just bought a 2017 Black/Black Yukon Denali right off the truck w/ only 5 miles. Of course I took it on a road test applying all the lessons learned from this forum & happy to find that my Yukon drive is smooth as silk.

I have the 2016 Tahoe LT with 21,000 miles and have experienced ZERO buffering. Now, i do get a vibration around 68-70mph and then around 78-80mph for some reason. Here is the crazy part, when we bought our Tahoe it had the 5 star pilshed wheels on it and had ZERO vibration at any speed, then switched to the Chrome GM wheels and now I have a vibration at said speeds. Our Uncle had the 15 Suburban and has same issues with the chrome wheels. He balanced and did several alignments and ever went through several brands of tires and never fixed it. He traded it on on the 16 Suburban with the polished 5 stars and ZERO vibration issues. We believe there must be an issue with the Chrome GM wheels.

I'm curious as to what all the lessons are that you learned to apply on a test drive. Thanks!

Or it could be just that the 2015's are the vehicles with the issue

Yes thanks. Was well over 80 on test drive.

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

What is the name of the rims you have on your truck?

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.

Yea, but I have it on my 16 Tahoe, so that rules out just the 15's having the issue.

My friend who lives in Virginia did get caught doing over 80 and did get a reckless driving ticket..He took it court..The judge reduced to speed for him and dropped the reckless driving charge..My friend was super stressed out about the reckless driving charge..He ended up getting 2 points on his license.

I bookmarked that, but to be honest it doesn't seem like enough $ to pay. I had a bad experience in the past on a set of BMW replica wheels for about the same amount. I couldn't get a vibration off them despite 4 balance attempts. To be fair, I bought them from a kinda nameless eBay vendor.

Have you had yours a while, and are they all good?

He was lucky.

Have to go to court. In Virginia, troopers and officers are scheduled for court and therefore it is very rare if they miss their court date. Whether the judge or the Commonwealth's Attorney will negotiate, depends upon your driving record and circumstances of the offense. And, then again, some judges are not flexible, so it is the luck of the draw.

Simply put, you cannot assume that you will get a break in court, especially if your driving record is less than desirable.

250 mile ish round trip to Xpel dealer. Highway up to 85 and everything in between and nothing at all. City driving maybe 25 miles of the 250 and nothing. With two of us in vehicle it was super quiet and no booming, pressure or anything weird whatsoever. We were also listening for air leaks which there weren't any. 2017 Yukon SLT premium package - 22's, sunroof with buckets. Very thankful she's boomer free!!

2015 Yukon SLT so far so good thank goodness. I test drove a few 2015 and 2016's before buying mine that had a minor buffeting issue but no problem at all with mine. I did have some vibration but bought a CPO and had the dealer replace the motor mounts and now smooth riding. Not as smooth as my LS460L but smooth as hell for a big vehicle.
