Frame is rotted in three locations drivers side near gas tank It will not pass inspection I bought it used 2 years ago for my son to use for driving to college. I am very upset and will never buy another GMC /Chevy vehicle again
The frame for my 2015 Chevy Silverado truck failed inspection for excessive rust on the frame, all around it. It could not even be put on a lift. Other Chevy Silverados have been recalled for this rampant issue and yet not this particular model. It is not safe to drive, it's an expensive problem to fix and very unfair the Chevy is not taking responsibility for it.
Wax coating is evaporating exposing bare metal on the frame. This is the OEM coating and its failure will result premature degradation of the frame of the truck.
Upon purchasing a New 2015 Silverado my factory paint started pealing around the rear doors approx. 1 year after owning the truck. Upon first sight of the pealing paint I took the truck back to the GM dealer and pointed out the 2 rear doors and the flaking paint. They told me that since I was out of bumper to bumper warranty coverage and over the 36,000 mile warranty they couldn't do anything for me. The issue was getting worse so I took it back again and this time I went through GM Corp. and they offered to give me a discount on the paint job to fix the issue. I'm sorry but a discount on a FACTORY PROBLEM is NOT ACCEPTABLE....especially if its going to cost me $2,000 of my own money to fix a GM PROBLEM!!!!

Back window glass shattered when shutting drivers side door. Happened on the 26th of February 2022, Illinois is still very cold in February, thankfully no passengers were in the back seat. Had to drive home very slow as not to drop glass on the highway. Found a Program Bulletin on the internet, bulletin No: 14815 from a Customer Satisfaction Program that stated this could happen due to structurally weakened glass by GM. We contacted GM and they said our Vin # was not on a recall list. We contacted our Insurance company and are waiting on a new glass to be installed. No warnings of any kind.

The wax coating on the frame is falling off and the frame has rust all over. This is a manufacturing defect that Chevrolet refuses to repair under warranty. This is a known problem throughout the Silverado owners.
Truck has 98,500 miles on it. Radiator is cracked and leaking, roof leaks when raining, electric power steering randomly jerks the wheel out of your hand and almost causes you to crash.
Paint is peeling and flaking in multiple spots on my truck. GM will not do anything about it because it's after 3 yr or 36000 miles. This is a very popular problem with this year of Chevy trucks. It's all over vehicle websites. It's a bad patch of paint or primer issue. GM told me it's maintenance after the paint warranty is up. The spots are inside my tailgate and next the windshield. Two spots where it is almost impossible for chips to happen from driving. This is a GM problem! this should be a recall. I'm sure they know there is a major problem. They need to fix it. They are losing Chevy customers.
Water filtration from the shark antenna and rear third light, with possible short on a dash board and instrumental panel (already occurred more than once with no light on a instrumental panel and no function of the all gauges including speed gauge) the problem happened especially on rainy days on stationary vehicle and also in a driving conditions bolt city and highway time. The photo showing are only the recent but the problem happened several times before than now. This time was the worst ever
This picture represents some of the paint loss on the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 crew cab. I bought this vehicle brand new and have never been in the snow. There's no way that a vehicle should have paint peeling or have exposed metal.
I am seeing extreme amount of clearcoat peeling all around vehicle. Appears to be specific to this vehicle paint process. Professional paint shop says poor paint job. Dealer won't help. GM won't help. I see many others online that have same problem. My truck is in perfect condition. I own other GM cars with no problems. I want help from dealer to fix (college Chevrolet, albion, mi 49224).
I own a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ltz in maroon red. I have noticed the clear coat throughout almost every panel of the truck is peeling in large bubbles. The hood is especially bad above the grill. Each door below the chrome strip along the lower kick plate is especially bad. Each wash of the vehicle makes it worse. Sadly, looking at each area, a small pit to the metal is visible; almost as if every rock chip/scratch is making it worse.
Recall on braking system, reported to GM dealer, waited, drove vehicle while still on recall, dealership quoted that it will be okay, ( travel to med appointments) after several attempts, finally got it in, (its fixed), continued driving it, still having problems with braking, the pedal was jumping, oh! that's normal stated the technician, I continued driving, I called the dealer ship I bought the truck from, new in 2015, explained explain to them the problem im having, (said well bring it to the dealer ship near you, did that!) again nowhere, called the dealership and asked if they would look at it, well bring it in, tech took for a ride, that's what they normally do, vibrate like that, yah. Well frustrated as I was we continued to drive, to my med appointments, well, coming back stop at an establishment, as we were pulling in the truck wouldn't stop!, and I slid right into a mental pole, damaging the entire front of our truck, the force of the hit lunged both I and my wife forward at an abrupt stop! my wife sustain a neck and back injury, my left shoulder, report to ins, and property owner, my ins pay out for the damage. I reported this to the dealer ship, we'll have to schedule an appointment.
