Heard of paint peeling off bottom of doors, but not on the window sill. Truck has 19K miles and is well taken care of. Took it to dealer 10 days ago, the service rep looked at it and says he'll do the paperwork. Called today and no response. I can't help but feel like I'm gonna get screwed on this manufacturer's defect.

 

Anyone know how much it would cost to have a door repainted in California? Although I'm skeptical that it will be the last I see of peeling paint.

This is my 2014 silverado with only 37k miles on it. Waiting to hear back from my dealer on this.

My truck is doing it in the same exact spot as you two.  I noticed it a couple of weeks ago.  Brought it in for service and told them about it.  I showed them the passenger side door where it is really bad and on the drivers side where it it is starting to come off.  It's a 2014 with 44k.  The dealership told me it falls outside of the 3/36k bumper to bumper.  I told them I could understand if it was one door but to be in the same exact spot on both rear doors shows there is something more going on.  I called customer service and the rep did call me back today but I missed the call.  Hopefully they will do something.

Same issue as stated in the other posts.  My paint is on my right front fender and rear driver's side passenger door.  All Chevy had to say was that I was out of the 3 year 36,000 mile bumper to bumper coverage.  Totally when this is manufacture's paint defect and Chevy should investigate more thoroughly.

I don't think GM uses primer anymore. As far as I can tell the paint is sprayed directly on the greenish grey zinc coated steel, or whatever the coating is. They just dip these tinfoil panels in a zinc bath to prevent rot and hit them with a 0.0001" coating of paint.

 

There is nothing you can do, Ford and Dodge use the same paint methods and also have trouble. Only thing you can do is have the truck repainted properly, preferably with oil paint if you can still find it in the US. Water based is not great.

My vehicle is doing the same thing. It was fine for the first few years of its like but now there is a serious issue with the paint on my 2014 Sierra. Dealer says there is nothing they can do.

I noticed for a while that the paint was peeling on the inside of my truck bed and on the inside of the tail gate.  I was ok with it because I was planning to get a bed liner put in.  But after a search on 2014 Silverado paint peeling, I was pretty shocked.  So far I have not seen any peeling anywhere else, but I'm sure its just a matter of time.  It makes me sick seeing the pictures posted here and online.  For the most part, I could deal with mechanical or electrical related repairs/fixes but paint peeling, that sucks, especially for those of us that are particular about our rides.

It is now starting to peel on my right passenger back door at the crease by the window and window seal where others have posted.  Does anyone have any information on this?

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
