Body problem #1

My 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500hd lt (new vehicle, low mileage) has a persistent water intrusion/leak into the cab interior. Water appears at the top of the headliner/ceiling, specifically around the overhead console where the homelink garage door opener buttons and map lights are located. This occurs after rain events, heavy precipitation, and results in visible wetness, dripping, and staining on the headliner fabric in the front overhead area. The leak is repeatable under wet conditions. It strongly suggests entry through the roof-mounted shark fin antenna (onstar/xm/gps antenna) seal or possibly the windshield-to-roof junction, as water migrates forward along the headliner to the overhead console area. This is a known issue pattern in prior gm trucks (e. G. , 2014–2019 models with tsbs for shark fin antenna leaks causing headliner/overhead console drips), though not yet documented as widespread on the 2025 hd models. I took the vehicle to an authorized Chevrolet dealer for diagnosis and repair under warranty. The dealer performed an inspection but stated they could not replicate the leak during their test and therefore declined to perform any repairs, noting “unable to duplicate” on the repair order. Despite the waterline in the headliner and explaining the conditions (e. G. , after heavy rain), no further action was taken. The issue continues to recur.

Body problem #2

Have had issues since purchase of paint chipping severely / cloudy. Transmission shudder and “jumped forward” when coming to a stop. Lighting system “blinked” or went dark and come back up a few seconds later while driving.
