Hi Everyone, I just wanted to give you an update. The dealer/GM took care of my issue. The service bulletin is #PI0564D. (Sept 5, 2013) THIS IS THE BULLETIN YOU NEED. First, an undercoating acid/emulsion(?) was applied to remove all the rust. I guess the same stuff is used to restore old antique frames. Everything was then recoated with a surface coat. (TSA4363F Undercoat.) As of today, everything looks factory new. I'll give you an update once we get through the winter. Hope this is somewhat helpful. Carl

Hi Everyone. I am new to the site and found the information very helpful. I just bought a brand new 2013 leftover Tahoe on 7/22. After 2 weeks and only one tiny rain (car is parked in a garage) I am blown away with the amount of rust that is suddenly popping up on the frame. I contacted the dealer and they referred to #PI0281D which has nothing to do with rusting of the frame. (That had to do with component rust...something I'm not concerned with.) I have always been super loyal and between myself and my family, we have 8 Chevy trucks. To make sure I wasn't losing my mind, I looked under my 2005 Trailblazer (200k miles) and my wife's 2007 Equinox (100k miles) and there is hardly a single spot of rust. I travel to northern Vermont frequently during the winter and I already know this is going to be a huge problem. To make things worse, I took a plane all the way to upstate NY to pick up the vehicle since that's where I found it on the lot. I am going to attach some photos. Any advice would be great. I want to make sure this gets reported and fixed early on especially before the winter. I called GM but they claim there is no issue they are aware of. I guess my next stop is to file a complaint with the State and the NHTSA. Please let me know what you guys think. I appreciate it.
