1 Paint problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2020

Had a foul fuel smell, found out gas tank needed to be replaced. Repair facility stated that chevy had the tank in �ready�,no issue to order one. Sounds like some one was ready for this to happen. No assistance from the dealer or Chevrolet. Drivers side from door to rear of car paint is falling off. I can see and feel some sort of �bubbles� under the paint. Looks like no recall.

2 Paint problem

Failure Date: 03/20/2015

Paint peeling off car like sheets of wallpaper. When I took my car to dealer where I bought it I was told we know about the problem. I was told that is a big problem with these cars and it is a defect in the paint and that is was not warranitied by dealer or manufacture. If it is a known problem why is it not being taken care of?.
