Frame Rust problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

My 2014 chevy silverado has less than 36000 miles on it and has severe rust and corrosion issues throughout the entire frame. Metal is flaking off the flame in large pieces and support elements have significant rust inside and outside. The rest of the vehicle looks brand new. I contacted chevy and they told me it was a known issue and take it to the dealer. The dealer inspected it and said that since none of the corrosion or rust was not "through" meaning they could stick their finger through a hole, it was not covered. They offered to replace the frame at my cost. This is severe rust. It is not simple surface rust expected on vehicle. It is flaking off and would take significant labor to grind/brush and repair. The frame as it is now is a safety issue and I cringe every time I hit a pothole. I fear for my safety and for the safety of my occupants and fellow drivers if the frame were to collapse while driving due to poor construction and severe rust. I informed the dealership of this asking how flaking rust on the main frame and support members was not an issue and was told it was "minor" rust.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While inspecting the vehicle, the contact discovered that the entire subframe was rusted and corroded. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (denooyer Chevrolet located in albany, new york) who applied a wax rust proof coating to the frame, but the rusting continued to progress. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who informed the contact that the wax rust proof coating was a temporary remedy and would eventually wear off. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed by the manufacturer that a powder coating was being applied to only newer vehicles to prevent the rusting from occurring. The failure mileage was 29,000.

From day 1 had rust issues on frame. I found out rhere was a TSB on this . I took it to get fixed ,but I am not happy with the way it was done. Rust is still on frame where bumpers attach and other areas of frame not accessible. They did not recall this issue. They did not extend the warranty. There are many complaints online about this issue. They are aware if a problem and hope many owners don't realize it. I told a friend of mine about frame issue as he has one to . They extended his warranty and are going to take the box off truck to repair it. I wasn't offered that as a matter of fact I argued with them about not taking bumpers off to repair it.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the entire frame was severely rusted including the cross bars and wheel wells. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 32,000. The VIN was not available.

Frame rust has developed on rails under bed. The protective wax coating is falling off, one section is about three inches. Rust has developed in the tubes of the frame and on areas connected to the frame. I have had the truck for about a year and about 12,000 miles. The rust has been progressively getting worse.
