8 Paint problem of the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 11/25/2019

Paint started bubbling and cracking off. It is very obvious that the paint did not adhere to the primer. I have 32000 miles. Mostly drive on the weekends because I work across the street from my house. I do not do any off-road driving. There is no reason for the paint to peel.

9 Paint problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 06/08/2019

It started as a small bubbles in the paint on the roof right above the windshield before the sunroof. 2 bubbles cracked and driving down the road it took paint off the roof. It looks like someone were to just peel it all off. There are no chips no dings or anything it's peeling off paint everyday and I look online and there are hundreds of others saying the same thing and it's ridiculous 40k truck and the paint is peeling off like there wasn't anything there. All the primer is still there just paint is peeling off badly. I'm very unpleased by gm and the dealerships saying it's out of warranty and can't help with this. Gm knows there is a paint issue with these vehicles but won't do anything to help customers. I only have taken one picture so far will have more to come. I also have other people complaining as well about paint even on 2017 trucks this is ridiculous and we have to do something about this issue.

Failure Date: 05/01/2019

My truck is just over a year olfd. Has had 4 recalls on the braking system alone. One for excessive brake pad wear. The rear fenders have outward dents on them causing the paint to chip away. Dealership replaced drivers side, waiting to do passenger side. Rear spoiler was leaking and flooded the back seat of the truck was repaired. Front passenger window became inoperable, ( repaired) rear dome light not working correctly ( not repaired) as noted on the vehicle history it had a hard shift out of park. A year later still does. When there is multiple recalls and reprogramming of braking systems I do not feel safe driving with my self in the car let alone my kids or my wife. I live in a very mountain area . I am scared to death to pull my boat or trailers down the mountains in fear of the brakes that have been worked on so many times in a year actually work . . I can see one or maybe two times but not 5 or 6.

23 Paint problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 07/01/2018

I put in another case with Chevrolet and they denied any assistance.
