I have a 2015 Tahoe with about 27,000 miles. NO buffeting issues, NO vibrations at higher speeds ( 80-85), No problems with the car. A couple minor issues and the recalls fixed under warranty.

I have had many Suburbans and Tahoes, and this 2015 is a great car. I feel sorry for those who have had problems, but none here. I have found on this forum and the Corvette Forum (I also have a vette), what may be minor items to some people, become magnified in other people's minds. I do believe the buffeting problem exists, and would be a major problem for me if I had it, particularly if the factory can't fix it

I've got 425 miles on my 2016 LT 4WD, and 350 of that was driving back from Dave Smith Motors in Kellogg, Idaho on I-90. I asked my salesman when we were closing the deal if he was aware of the problem; he seemed surprised and said "no".

I was so amused playing with all the gadgets on the ride home, I completely forgot to watch for the buffeting. Maybe that's a good thing that it didn't stand out and bite me.

Just got a 2016 Tahoe LT about a month ago. 1200 miles on it now and I must say I have not experience any buffeting or vibration. Did have vibration when I got my 22's but that was due to me being cheap and putting some "Sunny" brand tires and vibration was bad when I was doing 50+ mph... put on some Nitto 420s now and no vibrations now.

2015 XL SLT and have a severe case of the buffeting. we have downsized wheels/tires to 20" and it has helped some but plan to have headliner removed and roof bows reattached as they have definitely pulled apart. It's unbearable between 40-60mph...ear pressure, headache, etc. Kids even complain of ears popping. It is a big problem. I've been in many suburbans and XLs and they all do it to some degree but many aren't nearly as bad as ours. However, it seems that most of them are the extended models as very few of the tahoes and std yukons have many complaints.


***sorry for corrupting the thread....just realized it's for non buffeting/vibration remarks.

I have a 15 LT Suburban 4x4 Max tow package w 3:42 gears...22" CK919's.....33,*** miles (since March!!!! Ya a lot of work travel back and forth to TX)... ZERO buffeting issues...I've had a few other issues such as door post covers coming off and MyLink screen went dead..all fixed by my dealer..::but otherwise I've been lucky on the major issues I guess.

One other note...as soon as I bought the truck I bought a Range AFM disabler for it... Not that it probably makes any difference....but I love that thing as well!!
