Paint started bubbling and cracking off. It is very obvious that the paint did not adhere to the primer. I have 32000 miles. Mostly drive on the weekends because I work across the street from my house. I do not do any off-road driving. There is no reason for the paint to peel.

The paint on this truck has begun to peel in a couple spots. GM isn't willing to fully cover this as they say it is out of warranty. A 4 year old vehicle shouldn't have paint issues like this, especially when it is a common occurrence with this model year.
I was driving my 2015 Silverado 1500 when my daughter in the backseat noticed that's something smell like it was burning, she told me and within 10 seconds I could smell the same thing and it smelled like electrical was burning. I could see smoke coming from behind her headrest so I pulled off the road immediately and got her out of the back seat and could see it was coming from either the slide window or the defroster so I jumped in the front seat and seen the rear defroster was on and shut that off and almost immediately following me shutting that off it sounded like a gunshot went off in my back seat and the rear driver side window exploded the only thing holding it together was the factory window tint. There is all kind of glass shards in the backseat from when it shattered. I had to have my wife pick up my daughter because she is too young to sit in the front seat. So I have to put tape over the window to hold it together until the dealership contacts me back.
My paint it flaking/peeling around my wheel wells and the dealer says they cant fix it. The paint just keeps peeling and peeling I have three spots and they keep getting bigger to the point they are rusting. The problem is the paint isn't sticking to the metal/primer very cheap paint.
My truck has been modififed by either a powerful entity or by the dealership itself at the direction of a powerful entity. Truck has so many problems. I bought from same dealership out of show room and trusted them. After accident, air bags did not deploy and I couldnt figure out why. See burn marks around edges of airbags along with conductive string sew into them. Also noticed extra conductors added along with extra insulator layer. Cigarette outlets all manipulated after replaced with higher output plugs. Also found air bag sensors which are discontinuted as they belong to trucks from 2007-2009. Frame is for a 1ton truck which has beengreased front to back. Axels are clearly older and are labeled for a CK2500 (1 tom) model drive shaft and many other components have markings throughout to establish path of least resistance to guide short of electricity to driver to shock me. Modles modfified to gain access to truck. I am lucky to be alive. You guys have to see this truck in person. Way too uch to list. Dealership had it long time to do repairs. When taken back to them to figure out hwy the loud shakes, the dealershp certified shop tech stated everything is perfectl normal. That wa S a lie.eewwdduuuuuuuuuuuuuefu
Paint chipping, peeling off everywhere. I have had this truck for 5 months and have 15-20 spots where it is flaking or peeling off. Dealership claims they don't know of any issue yet we found where they had spot treated some chips!
Weak paint, lots of peeling in random spots. Specifically around passenger windows. Dealerships have not been willing to help or file a complaint to GM, should not pay this much for a vehicle and this happen so quickly to the paint. I am scared to wash it, as it seems to make the issue worse.
Takata recall-I was in a wreck 12-24-2017 and I was hit from behind. The bed of my truck was hit so hard by a distracted driver while I was at a stop light, that it twisted up and hit the cab of the truck. My airbags never deployed and my seatbelt never locked up. I am severely injured and am still seeking treatment for my injuries. It was over $11,000 in damages. The truck now down shifts and it sounds likie the bottom is dropping out. It also shakes when at highway speed.
I purchased a 2015 Chevy Silverado with the extended warranty for my son. At 44000 miles he noticed the paint peeling. I took it to the dealership where purchased and spoke with the body shop supervisor. He told me the truck had been painted twice at the factory. At this point, GM offered me 1000 dollars of the cost to repair the truck. I contacted GM executive branch and after research was told the truck had no history of being painted twice and there offer stood at 1000 dollars of the repairs. So, I went to three different body shops and they all told me the truck had been painted twice. The last shop I went to even measured the thickness of the paint to prove it. Any help appreciated.
Subject: Allegations, herein, of safety concerns for, production years (2014 -2018) Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ltz71 and GMC Sierra 1500 all terrain as; 'off road' and 'trail performance' capable vehicles. 1. GMC/Chevrolet advertises these vehicles, sab, as 'off road' capable vehicles without restrictions. Further, company brochures for 2014-2018, enhance this advertising with quotes and pictures displaying as such. Note: Owner's manuals for these vehicles do not address 'off road' driving with the unsafe low design front end. 2. allege, the Silverado's low design front end, is inadequate for 'off road' driving and highly susceptible to damage, causing impacts resulting in loss of vehicle control and an occupant safety concern. Upon my traversing on uneven ground, results in the low design front end (air damper, bumper, and grille) digging in and causing loss of vehicle control as well as significant damage, even at crawl speeds. The low front end (pics attached) acts as a cattle catcher, snow plow and in deep mud and snow, a jack suspending the vehicle on the frame making the design hazardous. 3. to confirm my allegations, request review of the sale of all front end replacement parts for, 2014-2018 production years. 4. I also allege that advertising, as an 'off road' and 'trail performance' capable vehicle is fraudulent as it conveys the Z71 4X4 vehicles as safe for 'off road' use, without restrictions, nor cautions the occupants of the low front end design that is susceptible to damage and costly repair, nor cautions the occupants of the potential for impact and loss of control (redirect) of the vehicle if damage occurs. 5. request protection under the whistleblower protection act.
