Body problem #1

Everytime it rains really hard, my drivers side b pillar where the handle and seat belt is, is soak and wet from a leak. This happens all the time. I have had my sunroof checked, my windshield checked and drain tubes checked. There is never any water or wetness on the floor, its only the headliner. This has been an on-going issue. I have been investigating if there are other Tahoes doing the same and yes there are and 1 had went to a body shop and they found out that the manufacturer welds were not welded correctly, which causes water to get into the roof. This can cause mold and eventually other issues. It has stained my headliner. Something needs to be done about this because I cannot afford to have a body shop fix this kind of repair and I should not have to for as much money as I have paid for this vehicle. I have very young grandkids that ride in this vehicle and one has very bad allergies against mold. And it is not fair that I eventually will have to get this fixed because it will also cause rust. Please do something about this.

Body problem #2

The clear coat has completely failed on mainly the hood and roof of the entire vehicle. Each of the sides have lost a good amount of shine too but there hood and roof are a compete different color compared to the rest of the Tahoe. The paint is the pewter/grey so it is extremely noticeable and very much an eyesore.

Body problem #3

I purchased a new 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe within the first year the sunroof started leaking. I had it repaired the first time in August. Second time it was repaired was in November. Nine days later, it leaked again. I took it back for the third repair and got it back 6 weeks later. December 21 I got it back and it leaked again the worst ever in 48 hours. Plus they did damage to the inside of my car. Some of the damages was cause by trying to get the old headliner out and the new one put in. When it raining after the third tempt of repairing it now water start dripping water out of the speaker on to my drivers seat and down my steering wheel on to my hand. Everytime it rains the inside of my vehicle headliner gets wet. I am worried about mold and mildew. Moisture being inside the car. Plus the safety of my vehicle with it holding water in the headliner.
