“I am experiencing paint delamination on this vehicle. From the information I have gathered this is likely to have an effect upon windshield retention during impact. I requested that Chevrolet remove all glass and trim, remove truck bed, strip all paint down to bare metal and repaint with ppg products. I have also requested that Chevrolet pay for a suitable rental vehicle during repair. I am also in possesion of their technical service bulletin 92-300-10 dated 10-92 proving that Chevrolet was aware of this problem before they sold me the truck. …”
