    Paul: Contact me thru My Scam-Free email : [email protected] . I have reservations about using G mail. It is a problem GM is well aware of and in my case, they elected to buy back the truck, rather than file a defective lemon law claim. That keeps it out of circulation from the public, but the truth cannot be covered up in the end. Jack- (raid0072)

    YES THE FORWARDED TO THE GM. DISTRICT MGA AND HE FOUND THE CAB'S REAR VENTS FLAPS THAT LET OUT PRESSURE WHEN DOORS ARE OPEN OR CLOSED WERE DEFECTIVE, AS THE BROKE OR FELL OFF, AND THE WATER WAS ENTERING THE INTERIOR FROM THE BACK OF THE CREW CAB, BEHIND THE BACK SEATS, AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET TO THEM WAS TO REMOVE THE TRUCK BED AND FURTHER VERIFIED THEY WERE THE CAUSE. aS A RESULT SINCE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE 36 MONTH THEY DECLARED IT A LEMON-LAW CLAIM EVEN THOUGH THE ACTUAL PERIOD TO FILE A LEMON LAW CLAIM HAD EXPIRED; BUT THE WATER AND HUMIDITY HAD COMPROMISED MOST ELECTRONICS, AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL STANDARDS FOR HAZARDOUS TOXINS LIKE BLACK MOLD, THE WORK COULD NOT BE CERTIFIED IN ACCORDANCE TO THE FED. STANDARD OF DISPOSAL. THEY REFUNDED MY ENTIRE COST OF THE TRUCK LESS AND GM OR DEALER INCENTIVES AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS ALSO REFUND 2.5 YEARS AFTER MY ORIGINAL PURCHASE DATE. $62500 ttl w/tax. **So.....Please be advised that Chevy Trucks have periodically had the same issues since 2004, on the faulty rubber cab vent rear pressure seals and GM has known about it even as the advised me that all my internet videos where not considered in the decision making process. ( I had submitted over 50 instances in which they also had to buy back the trucks as it was and inherent problem that they were made aware of in the past) I can only advise you to advise the dealer to look specifically for the water intrusion from the rear cab seals as you will have to way to reach those seals without removing the truck bed first. If I can be of help in any way please do not hesitate to post your contact info and I will do what ever I can to help. The Bean counters @ GM figure it is cheaper to pay as you go than to file a national recall. That just did not sit well with me as I a an insurance agent and very familiar with water and mold damage, Laws rules and regulations that cover the hazards of mold and contaminate damages.

    My 2015 2500hd diesel has been in Auto nation in Coral Gables dealer for 2 weeks now. It all started with moisture every morning on the interior of my windshield, leading to constant fogging I started emptying out truck and low and behold, I found that the trucks, front Pass rug soaked in water under my waterproof mats, rear rugs were encapsulated in green , white mold and the back seat engulfed in whit mold under the sheepskin covers, which explains the issues I have been having with the radio touchscreen as moisture and mold permeated the whole cab. I took it to the dealer, that until w days ago said the truck did not have any leak, that they used a pressure washer to test and could not find any. So I took to the internet, and found several hundred complaints about water leaks coming from inside of the rear vents behind the back seats that the rubber flaps failed. GM has knowledge of this issue and vent failure but has done nothing about except to replace them with the same defective vent, pursuant to warranty. In my case I will not let that happen as the entire interior has mold that is visible and also spores that cannot be seen. The car is still under factory warranty that has to cover complete replacement to reinstate condition back to condition it was in when I first bought it. I can tell this is going to be an issue, and I have been advised by my counsel to document all interaction in writing, but the only reply from dealer has been an acknowledgement that the leak has been found and that the will contact me regarding repairs. NO OTHER CONTACT HAS BEEN HEARD TO DATE> I cannot fathom the excuse, as there is none. Bad Mojo around this recurring issue GM has not corrected. I am at my wits end my truck only has 9000 miles and sticker was well over &70K. TIME FOR A FORD.

    CARBON FIBER??? LOL ONCE AGAIN AS IN 1973; NOT A GOOD CHOICE,

    33 years later and I cannot bring myself to trusts chev/gm's logistical research on new truck materials and design.

     

    You see in 1973 my Dad bought a bought a beautiful, shiny fully loaded Cheyenne Super truck. Blue and White and good looking for the first 16 1/2 months, then........

     

    Little did we know that GM/Chev built the struck with inferior metal that had either been recycled or not even primed for Rust/Corrosion protection. Seems that Chev/GM omitted telling their customers that the truck will rust and corrode with 18 months of owner ship.

    My Dad's truck lasted 26 moths until the hood front and hinges, door jambs and floors gave way to runaway rust, perforated metal corrosion in places never seen on any other year of manufacture other than 1973. This is explains why you do not see this 1973 year used trucks for sale. (RARE to find)

    Any customer for that current year model got ripped off and Chev/GM kept a silent voice regarding these issues, they simply swept it under the rug and after the 1974 models came out, it seem the problem quietly went away as none of the post 1974 trucks had the recurring RUST problem.

    So when I look at this 2019 Chevy I see a FORD/TUNDRA hybrid that looks awkward at best in rear lights and tailgate, front end has thin side by side headlights that give the TRUCK an oriental squint instead of a broad mean grin out of the grill accompanied by the dual bright headlights of the previous year's model.

     

    As far as I can see this is another experimental stage for a Proven Truck that did not need a body rear redesign, much less with similarities to competitors models that Chevy outsells in the first place.

    Don't MESS WITH A PRODUCT THAT IS PROVEN , it just kills any expectation of bold leadership , and lazy designers that have become complacent with their jobs...

    Good Luck, by the way I own and 2015 high country 2500 diesel, and that is a real trunk nest to any FORD< TUNDRA,NISSAN OR DODGE product out there. HELLO MCFLY??????
