PIP4642: Drive Line Boom Noise And/Or Vibration

[GRRRR8]

My guess is its going to be a bad carrier bearing on the driveshaft. This issue has happened on other vehicles with 2 piece driveshafts.

They can come take mine. Just bring me a replacement.

◦Has the manufacturer adopted an informal dispute procedure that has been certified by the Attorney General? If so, you must follow the procedure before you can file a lawsuit under the Lemon Law. Call tomorrow

does it feel almost like the AFM kicking in only you feel it right in the drivers seat? is everyone experiencing it at the same speeds?

Mine is consistently 68-73 mph. Not at all like AFM. More like a pulsating vibration that you feel in the steering wheel and floorboard.

I didn't realize how many people had this issue. How can it not be fixed? The car didn't ship that way so obviously there is something that can be swapped out to fix it, they are just to cheap to do it.

This thread makes me want to sell this car. I can live with all the other issues I read about, but not something "un-fixable". That sounds ridiculous to me.

I was about to drop 10K into this car with a supercharger, headers, etc... Now I doubt I'll even keep this car. But what else can we buy? I don't like the new camero, I like my G8. I already got 11K on my car so it sounds like I am getting close to having this issue.

Is it even legal for a company to sell something and not fix it? If there is a problem and it can't be fixed would we not be entitled to our money back?

This is the range that mine is. I don't have AFM.

Maybe my ass is too fat but what???

[GM_Fan]

My problem isn't the AFM. It happens at a certain speed about (62mph) and gets worse as speed increases.

Mine is actually worse on the lower end of the MPH spectrum. And manual mode and keeping the RPMs higher will make your stomach feel sick when you feel the vibration going through the car. Ugh! Every time I drive it, I get more and more disgusted with it. The wife already figures I'll be out car shopping by the end of the week. Nope, she doesn't know me at all......Lol!
