1 Body problem

Failure Date: 03/20/2024

I have a 2017 chevy Tahoe z71, and the paint on the hood , now moving to the top of the Tahoe is showing visible defects. The hood paint started to look cloudy. Even after buffing and polishing it would not improve. Talk to a professional detailer who stated that the problem was with the clear coat. The cost to repair and repaint the vehicle would be way more than an average citizen can afford; especially this day in time. People have mentioned it may require sanding the exterior down to bare metal, which would affect the car’s resale value etc . . After doing some research , I do see this is a problem with many gm vehicles. What is gm doing to make this correction. Pics can be sent upon request. Looking to seek a lawyer.

4 Body problem

Failure Date: 12/21/2018

Vehicle was traveling on I-55 south between the gluckstadt and madison exits around 5:45pm on 12/21/18 when the sunroof exploded sending chards of glass throughout the entire vehicle. There were no other vehicles close by an no overpasses within 2 miles of where the glass failure occurred. This is a very serious safety concern that Chevrolet needs to be aware of. The sunroof glass was in perfect condition and nothing hit the glass to cause the explosion. I have photos of the damage clearly showing that the glass blew out from the inside of the vehicle, further supporting the fact that this was a factory defect.

5 Body problem

Failure Date: 08/25/2018

The design of the back passenger doors is dangerous because the shape of the door is in a point and not rounded, it is not covered in plastic or rubber. My 3 year old daughter got out of the vehicle over the weekend and started to run towards the sidewalk and struck her forehead on the pointed end of the door causing a deep gash that bleed profusely. . . . She had to be taken to the er for suturing. Very poor design for a vehicle that is typically purchased by families with kids.

6 Body problem

Water pools somewhere between the roof and top of the hatch on both sides of the rear windshield wiper + drips down the back windshield for hours.
