Body problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

Leaking headliner coming in through the 3rd brake light and xm satellite radio.

Rust accumulation is very extreme.

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.

Paint is flaking away very easily.

I bought this 2014 silverado with 42,000 miles in October 2015. I noticed the top of the cab, by the gps/satellite radio antenna had a spot of clear coat missing it's about the size of a dime. I figured that it was normal wear and tear. However about two and a half years later both front doors, driver and passenger have developed the same issue. Both spots are very noticeable and look terrible. I've also noticed that the rear quarters have clear coat that's chipped away. I took the truck to a local body shop and the first thing they did was opened the door and noticed that I have rust forming on the inside edge of the door. They recommended I take the truck to the dealer to have it looked at as chevy supposedly has a 10 year corrosion warranty. The first dealer didn't want to help and tried to say that I was washing it wrong. I then took it to the dealer I bought it from. I walked them around the whole truck showing every spot that has chipped clear coat. They did take pictures of all the spots I showed them and would submit them to gm with a filed claim. Gm came back a few days later and said it's pretty much my problem since I'm not the �first owner�. I could fix the issue myself, but after doing some further research. Owners of these trucks come back to say that the problem returns, some cases these trucks have been completely resprayed. This is unacceptable. We pay a lot of money for a truck and it goes to crap in less than 5 years. My last chevy was 20 years old when I traded it in and it didn't have paint issues like these newer trucks.

Paint failure on my white 2014 chevy silverado. I have gone to the dealership and escalated my complaint to mary barra's office. Declined to provide remedy or correction stating there are no known defects to this product.

Paint "bubbling" with possible rust forming under paint on drivers door and front passenger side fender.

I purchase a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 from a Chevrolet dealership in April 2017 for my son to go to college. The truck was in perfect condition. It was a "certified used vechicle". The powertrain warranty was extended an additional 20,000 mile over oem warranty with the certified status. We took the truck home and my son started driving the truck. Roughly a month later, we both notice the clear coat on the driver's door began to peel in a small spot. We took the truck into the dealership at it's 1st service interval and asked the service department about the spot. The service manager said that this was a very unusual situation, and unfortunately since the original 36,000 mile warranty had expired there was nothing they could do. After an another month had passed, we noticed the spot on the door had grown larger, and there were additional spots popping up on various spots on the truck. I personally took the vechicle to the dealer and once again they indicated this was an isolated incident and Chevrolet currently wasn't experiencing and issues with their paint and clear coat process. My son went to college this fall, and upon his return from college I saw the spots of clear coat continue to increase in size and number. I recently went online and clicked several Chevrolet forums regarding the fallibility of their paint and clear coat. I was amazed at the numerous complaints about their paint and clear coat. This wasn't an isolated incident as the dealer indicated but one that involves many trucks and cars that Chevrolet produces during the years of 2013-2015. Can there be something done regarding this matter. I am aware that this isn't a safety issue per say; however, we have a problem that Chevrolet isn't willing to acknowledge or repair.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while performing a tire rotation on the vehicle, the contact became aware of extensive surface rust to the under carriage of the vehicle. Eagle Chevrolet located at 1330 old country rd, riverhead, NY 11901, (631) 494-3812, was contacted and the contact was informed that the surface rust was normal. The contact was concerned that the rust proofing was insufficient. The manufacturer was not contacted or made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 17,000.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle in the rain, rain water leaks from the onstar antenna into the cabin of the vehicle. The cause failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 45,000. Jft.

The condenser unit has cracked and come away for the structural housing causing the unit to leak freon meaning that the a/c does not work. This is a design fault for the 2014 Chevrolet silverado models through gm/Chevrolet and currently there is a national back order on the part (nr. 84211191). This shows that there are a large number of people experiencing this problem and as things stand Chevrolet cannot even give me an estimate as to when the part will become available again. I feel as though this should be grounds enough for some sort of reimbursement / recall.

The frame has massive amounts of rust. Front to back even reaching up into the cab at the rear seat mounts. Only 22,000 miles. Never seen this much aggressive rust on such a new vehicle. Fear it could effect the vehicle systems, brakes or frame integrity, seat mounts. Bought the vehicle used in June 2016 (private party) and did not realize the extent of the issue. On brief visual inspection looked like normal michigan rust. It's so new and the body is perfect didn't think I had to look into rust issues. Checked car fax for recalls and accidents.

Paint peeling all over vehicle.

There was a death in this vehicle on a state highway GA I-20 wb. Police reports were filed. The vehicle was unsalvagable. Recalls issued are dated after this date.

The failure occurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front right drivers side tire was not balanced and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure occurred shortly after. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure 2,000. Pp.

Paint and frame coating defective.

My 84 year old father hit a deer on the right front bumper of his 2014 chevy silverado ltz going 55 mph on October 30, 2014. All of the air bags deployed except for the drivers air bag. The drivers air bag did not deploy. In addition to the drivers air bag not deploying, there was structural damage to the right front passenger side bumper. My father took his vehicle to james wood motors decatur, 2111 s hwy 287, decatur, TX 76234, to get an estimate on repairing the vehicle. They talked him into trading his 2014 chevy silverado ltz wrecked vehicle for a 2015 chevy silverado ltz. James wood told my father that they would be salvaging the vehicle, or something like that, and they encouraged him to trade in his wrecked vehicle because the trade in value would be affected by the crash. Keep in mind that my father had a long relationship with them with trading in vehicles for newer ones and they knew that my father was very concerned with the trade-in value of his vehicle. They never discussed with my father the fact that the drivers air bag did not deploy. Today, I ran a car fax check on my father's crashed vehicle and the report shows: no accidents reported, no structural damage reported, no air bag deployment reported. Also, the car fax report shows a new owner from grand prairie, texas, that purchased the vehicle on 3-36-2015. I think it's outrageous that james wood motors decatur took advantage of my father because of his age, encouraged him to trade in his wrecked vehicle and then they turned around and sold the vehicle to someone without reporting any of the damage to the vehicle and the fact that the drivers air bag did not deploy. Someone needs to look into this.

When the truck reaches a speed over 35 mph the steering wheel, the seat, and the entire truck has a vibration. I live in east tennessee. I purchased the truck in georgia. It is about a three hour drive from where I purchased the truck to my home. On the drive home I noticed the vibration right away. I thought it may be a tire balance issue so I continued the trip home. The next day I talked with the local dealer and was informed I need 500 miles on the truck before they will work a vibration issue. When I took the truck for service a few days later I was informed that several trucks have this same issue and gm does not know what to do about the issue. The dealer balanced the tires and told me that is all they can do about the vibration. Through searching the internet and talking with other dealers I have found that may parts have been replaced with no help. Drive shafts,axle shafts, wheels and tires have been replaced and rear ends have been rebuilt. Nothing seems to help. Most dealers have worked this issue on several trucks. If this vibration is coming from any part of the drive train or suspension and the part has a catastrophic failure it can cause serious injury or possibly death.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving 80 mph, the vehicle vibrated intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 7,000.

While traveling with the vehicle cruise control set at 45mph the vehicle dropped from 6 cylinders to 4 cylinders. When the vehicle was in 4 cylinder mode and it had to accelerate the entire passenger compartment started to violently vibrate (sorry but that¿s the best description I can give) almost lost control of the vehicle. This is a reoccurring problem Chevrolet so far has changed the tires, realigned the catalytic converter, replaced the exhaust clamps, attempted to replace the entire exhaust system. None of these have yet to resolve the problem. This occurs at all speeds with or without cruise control engaged.
