“I purchased this vehicle june of 2018. I currently have 6+ pain chips on the truck and it keeps getting worse. I do not take the truck through automatic car washes and I keep the truck in a garage. I have seen other chevy silverado owners with the exact issue. I do not feel we should have to pay for these damages as its a defect to their paint job.”
NHTSA complaint #11217002, filed 2019-05, 65,000 miles“The paint on my truck is pealing off. I filed a complaint with Chevrolet and they investigated the problem. Chevrolet determined that it was a factory defect but since the truck had 69000 miles on it and was out of the factory warranty they would not fix the paint. I feel since it was determined a factory defect they should pay for the repairs.”
NHTSA complaint #11220347, filed 2019-06, 69,000 miles“Paint on rear driver side door started to peel away with not damage to the body or primer. Gm customer service stated that this was not covered , and that I would have to have a local dealership repair this at my own cost.”
NHTSA complaint #11329286, filed 2020-06, 88,000 miles“Driving down the highway, while coming up to traffic and coming to a stop, the brake pedal became rock hard and made it difficult to slow down or stop in time. In an attempt to stop the vehicle from crashing into the rear of the other other vehicles, I swerved to the right to avoid them and side swiped a guardrail. My vehicle now has body damaged on the passenger side. It has been dropped off at concord Chevrolet in concord, california. I also filed a claim with my insurance as well as general motors.”
NHTSA complaint #11311873, filed 2020-02, 113,000 miles“This vehicle has a vibration that is felt thru out the steering wheel, floor pan and accelerator pedal. It causes the middle console to shake/vibrate. This has been an ongoing issue that I believe will cause catastrophic failure in the vehicle at a later date. The dealership offered to let me trade it in on another vehicle at my full expense, and states that my vehicle is acting as designed. Gm refuses to address the problem.”
