This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I noticed excessive frame rust. Contacted my local dealer and they took the truck in for proper fix. Rust was supposedly ground off and frame and undercarriage were undercoated. Apparently the factory wax coating was not properly cleaned before paint. I recently noticed the rust is back on the frame and front steering parts. This truck has only 16,000 miles, is garage kept and has rarely been driven in winter months.
Truck was hit on front driver side by another vehicle. The frame was bent and the left side was also damaged. Airbags were released. Front tires were damaged. This occurred on July 9, 2020. Insurance and repair company are trying to fix it with other parts. I was in motion on a side street and a speeding vehicle that I did not see hit me.
Cracked dash above the driver side and around the passenger side airbag. Due to either cheap material or defect in material. Vehicle is garage kept and was stationary when cracks appeared on both sides. Garage temperature was 76 degrees the day cracks happened.
Paint has peeled off above the windshield, paint looks very thin and brittle. Dashboard has two cracks near the passenger airbag. I am worried that if the airbag every went off the piece of plastic will be shot off and be a piece of shrapnel in an accident.
I have found cracks in the dash directly connected to the support braces for the passenger side air bag, in case of deployment the shards of broken plastic can impale into an individual causing injury or death
Dash has cracked near passenger airbag, heard a loud pop while driving down interstate then noticed the crack, poor quality plastic or other issue is occurring to thousands of vehicles, how long before someone gets seriously injured before it gets investigated
Paint is chipping and peeling along upper windshield. There have been no rocks or hail or any other reason for this to happen. A flake came off one day and as time went by I began to notice more areas. Upon a google search of Chevy forums I find that this is not an uncommon issue, right down to the specific year/make/model and area of damage.
Right rear exterior door handle came loose, rarely use back doors went to open one day and it was loose. Then the drivers door handle broke a few months later.
Paint has continued to chip off the body of the vehicle in large sections. The body shops have commented that they have seen numerous issues involving Chevrolet paint. Chevrolet knows the primer under the paint is defective. Chevrolet has not done anything to correct this issue.
I take good care of my dash, I put a blanket over it and a sun visor to protect it from the sun. Yet, it still managed to get a crack. I believe it might be due to GM using cheap material or over tightening the dash. This had to happen on a very hot day when my truck was parked.

After taking a 780 mile round trip to Missouri from Texas, when filling up I noticed that the paint had peeled off in large chunks at the hood and roof. Has several small areas that the paint is chipping. It looks as if the paint will not adhere to the body anymore.
Paint is peeling on roof. Has been for well over a year. GM dealer said it was from a stone bruise, and I was out of warranty period. Peeling above windshield is from drivers side all the way to passenger's side. Hood is now starting to peel.
