NHTSA complaint #10789663, filed 2015-11, 1,165 miles“The doors on the driver and passenger side come to a sharp point on the bottom. The wind case the door to come back on my leg and badly bruising my leg. I contacted GM to pay my doctor bill but have not received a reply.”
NHTSA complaint #11104135, filed 2018-06, 30,000 miles“The rear fenders on truck are blistering. There are bumps all along the outside of the rear fender wells. The problem is road debris and small stones getting up inside the inner fender wells and vibrating down pushing dents through to the outside of vechicle. This is going to result in accelorated rust through of the rear fenders as the finish is damaged on both sides of the panels. I have worked with the dealer, who attempted one repair (which failed) but I have been told by them and GM customer service that they will not fix the issue. The truck had 16200 miles on it when this started. …”
NHTSA complaint #11029980, filed 2017-09, 1,620 miles“At speeds above 60 MPH the sheet metal on the hood begins to ripple, flutter, and distort. This problem is well known by Chevrolet. The dealer has applied expanding foam inside the hood under warranty, but the metal continues to distort and ripple at highway speed. I am afraid the hood sheet metal will fail and the hood will come off the vehicle while driving. Chevrolet refuses to do anything further about it.”
NHTSA complaint #10913827, filed 2016-10, 500 miles“Paint on leading hood edge bubbling on top of and beneath the hood. Gm certified auto technicians confirmed this is a result of moisture during the painting process and not due to damage inflicted while driving.”
