Yep, you and I are posting in both forums LOL.

I tried googling it and you're not to be able to find it googling yet. Dealers just got it..... And It's not replacing the axle it's replacing the half shafts, which is a much smaller ordeal as I understand it from my buddy/service manager. But like I said, it may be a little tough to get the parts right now......

Got a call this morning that both of my half shafts are in. Going to get it done probably next week and will let everyone know if it solves the problem. Keep your fingers crossed.

NEWS FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spoke with my good friend who's the service manager at my dealership. There is a TSB on it now. TSB was released on August 6, 2018.

The solution right out of the gate is to replace both front half shafts. One of the half shafts is readily available, there's a current shortage of the other shaft. So there may be some delay in service departments getting the parts. I told him to go ahead and order them for mine and whenever they get in I'll come in and have it done. I'll keep everyone posted.. But now there's a TSB number to refer to!

TSB number: 18 – NA – 233

After three weeks in the shop, we got the car back and indeed the wobble is gone. I don't know if the tech used the axles in the bulletin or not, because he had already ordered them when I gave my SA this information. They also fixed the rear AC. At least they put us in a brand new Traverse. So nice to have that dang wobble gone. Feels like a different car now.
When I picked up the car I talked to my SA, and she said the tech had called GM and they gave him specific axle part numbers to order so perhaps that was the axles they used but they replaced both of them.

Had the TSB performed. Problem is fixed. Really. Nice to have some conclusion to this. Fortunately, I only had to deal with it for a couple of months. Those of you who have been dealing with it for much longer, and having service departments take guesses at what will fix it, must Have been frustrating.

To be clear: we have a fix:

TSB number: 18 – NA – 233.....Replace both half shafts.

My parts are on the way and I’m looking forward to getting the wobble corrected!

Thank you for posting this! I saw this shortly after you originally posted it, finally got around to bringing the car in last week. Wobble is completely gone, and the car feels overall better. Never had any complaints (minus the wobble), but now the steering seems more responsive, the steering wheel feels lighter, and it seems like there’s less drag when I let off the throttle.

Thanks again!

Just a quick update. At my last oil change, the Service Manager at the Buick Dealer I go to concurred when the car was driven there is this wobble/shimmy feel. Mike ordered (took about a month) and has now received the parts and is taking care of the service this Thursday. I will drop the car off on Wednesday night, Mike is providing a loaner and they expect the car to fixed by Thursday evening when he scheduled me to come to pick it up. Looking forward to this getting resolved. Other than this I really am very happy with the car.

2017 Envision purchased brand new in May of '18. After nearly 15,000 miles, I have not noticed any wobble. But now after reading this thread, I'm sure it'll mysteriously happen. :laugh:


Good to know there is a TSB for if and when this happens.

 

[ATLANTICWAVE1000]

Just a quick update, last Wednesday I dropped the car off and picked it up Thursday. They replaced the front drive shafts and the car is smoother without the wobble oscillating that was taking place. Although it was minimal and did not affect the operability of the car it was noticeable to me. I am very happy this was resolved quickly and on the first try.

 

[ATLANTICWAVE1000]

Hi I did not have any noise, the dealer said and replaced the 1/2 shafts. Not sure if they were not made to specs or what. It was done a couple months ago and corrected the issue.

 

[ATLANTICWAVE1000]

My dealer was really good about it, he and a tech took it out came back and said yes they detected it, he reviewed the bulletins told me he needed to order parts (took about 3 weeks) and called me when in. They even gave a loaner for the day, a 2019 Envision with the 2.5L. A little slower but road better on the 18" Michelin's and it did not exhibit the wobble. Anyway, they repaired it and it seems to be fine since.

 

[Envision2019]

I’ve bought an Envison 2019 2.5 in August 2019, and since the second week of me owning it, I’ve felt big vibrations whenever I’ve driven it. These vibrations also occurred whenever I made big turns left or right, and when I went on the highway (on the highway, these vibrations were continuous)

I went to the dealership many times through a couple of months without having them understand the problem. However, a few months later, they recently identified the problem. The mechanic at the dealership filled documents in which he described the problems that he felt with the car.

They then asked an engineer from BUICK to come and look at the vehicle. This same engineer said that the problem me and the dealership’s mechanic felt was not a real problem, it was something that is normal for the car, it was made that way.

If you think of a solution for my situation, please forward it to me, all the help I can get is welcome.

I had half shafts replaced on 2017 non turbo for the wobbling or shimmy as I was referring it as. No change, still wobbles. Right turns and shifting 1st to 2nd. This is even worse with passengers in the car, so more load, more torque. I am now thinking torque converter.
