general problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Was sold with a warranty and was not fulfilled, and on top of that we found out they rolled the odometer back over 50k , then found out it has a spilt frame.

Hello our 2011 chevy silverado looks like it was sitting in a lake. The rusted frame has a hole and has failed pennsylvania inspection. The whole underside of the vehicle frame is peeling away the body of the truck is very clean. Truck has 60,000 miles and is garage kept. We were shocked to see the condition when we were at the inspection station. It worries me how many of these trucks are on the road or towing trailers. Please don’t wait to take action until something happens. Yes, our vehicle is available for inspection pictures. There was no warning lights. Our local pennsylvania state inspection station failed the truck during routine yearly inspection. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Large sections of vehicle frame have completely rusted,rotted t?rough.

My frame is rotting out there is a section missing by gas tank. I checked on line with other people and a lot of people have same problem I know totyota had problem and had to replace frames . Gm should have too. Please help. Thank you.

Complete structural failure of chassis (frame). Upon inspection on a mechanics lift the frame is cracked in several places and due to the undersized structural components and type of steel resulted in extensive corrosion. All components of vehicle depend on structural integrity of support frame. The frame has been inspected by several mechanics. All suspension components attached to vehicle frame are in serious jeopardy of failure. Several other Chevrolet truck owners have total losses of vehicle value to to undersized structural frame and extensive corrosion. This is a manufacturer's defect, its similar to building a house on a weak foundation.

Frame of truck rotted. Went to change shocks and it fell right off. Removed the bottom bolt on the shock and the 15 lbs shock fell to the ground with the top bolt still attached to the frame. 2 years ago had to replace the the hitch due to rusted out glad I was not pulling my 6000 lbs camper down the highway. The frame is so badly rotted it is unsafe to drive down the road. Not surface rust holes the inside of frame is rotted both sides. Unsafe to drive. Owned this truck for 9 years.

This vehicle has a frame that is rusted far beyond what you would normally expect. The same problem is listed in other complaints here and elsewhere online. The passenger side running board fell off because the frame it was attached to was so badly rusted.

My 2011 silverado has a very clean body, but the frame is completley rusted out. If you google frame issues on these trucks you will see that many people are having the same issue and gm is doing nothing about it. I think gm should have to buy back these trucks as my truck went from being worth $12000 to being worth nothing.

The truck brakes or something locked up and cause me to crash the truck. Police report was filed and insurance company has appraised the truck. No warning lights or anything came on.

The frame is rusted very bad. I took it to a shop to see if it could be repaired and was told that it can't be repaired it will have to be replaced. This is a 10 year old truck the frame should not be rusted. I have additional photos. It is rusted down both sides of the frame.

I purchased a 2011 chevy silverado on 3/16/20 from a car dealership. 69k miles when purchased. 88k now. I recently went to have a fuel pump repaired that happened out of the blue and was told that the frame is completely rusted out. I looked online only to discover that this is a ongoing problem for these trucks. Makes no sense how I have a truck I owe 14k on and now find out my frame is rusted to the point I could have a accident.

I bought truck in oct2021 and it was not sold to me in working order as wad told to me they took my money and they were done.

Frame started rusting almost immediately dealer did not want to address it.
