I’m having the same paint issue on a 2015 Sable Brown Suburban. GM should stand behind this, but it looks like they won’t. Very interested in a class action suit. I understand from one dealership that is is a common issue on all GM cars painted sable brown, not just the suburbans and trucks.

You really think GM should stand behind the paint on a 6 year old vehicle? You think the paint should still look like the day you bought it new? I don't think they should, they don't know how the paint was taken care of like never washed, waxed proper soap if it was washed for all they know Ajax could have been used to wash the vehicle. Vehicles paint has to be taken care of just like anything else.

I too bought a 2016 Chevy Tahoe in Jan 2020 that appeared to be in excellent condition. Of course it had not even been driven much due to Covid in 2020. The hood and roof started to look bad in December 2020 but was near impossible to get appointments or anyone to answer calls because of Covid. It now looks absolutely horrible like someone took a wire brush and scrubbed it. I contacted the dealership and they will not do anything. Have you made any progress on your issue? I also have another friend that purchased from same dealer about the same time and same make and model as mine and hers did the same thing. They ended up having to pay to have it painted a couple months ago.

Perhaps everyone needs to blast these stories on Twitter , Instagram and FB. I know I will be!

It's awfully hard to hide from Google.

It would be interesting to know if these are discord bots responding to each other.

We don't do R&D anymore nor do we do Product Testing. We hardly do engineering and science is out the window.

I'm standing in a Love's truck stop and hear over the speaker system..."Be a product INFLUENCER, like us on blah, blah, blah...and write a review"

This goes viral and next thing you know we tweet and retweet until we have a new reality. What a world we live in, eh?

I purchased a 2016 GMC Yukon XL last October 2020 with 57000 aprox miles. Now the hood and roof are faded and it has swirls like its no ones business. Took it to a reputable detail place and one look the owners said the paint is damaged and its factory paint at that. Any suggestions

Same problem with paint defect on hood and roof of 2016 Tahoe in Mississippi. I am a lawyer and will be preparing for a class action lawsuit against GM and possibly the dealers who had knowledge of these defects through GM bulletins sent to the dealers but failed to disclose the known defects to customers purchasing the defective vehicles. This is fraud and conspiracy between GM and the dealers. I will be setting up a separate email address solely for this anticipated class action lawsuit and will post the email address later. Please stay tuned.

Please give me any info on a class action suit. Mine is a 2014 black Suburban. The Chevy dealer body shop manager said it’s just not enough clear coat from the factory on the hood and top.

I was told by GM that I could contact the BBB to file a claim under the lemon law. They provided me this link. https://bbbprograms.org/programs/all-programs/bbb-autoline In researching this issue, it looks like a defect in the clear coat.
