Y'all have to properly maintain your vehicles.  You cannot expect to run them through a car wash every month and the paint to last 25 years.  You folks in the south with dark colors need to pay even more attention.

 

By the time you beat down GM with your class action lawsuit.  All of the lawyers will put their kids through college, take a European vacation and put a pool in their backyards and you'll get a check for $6.45.

Although I do agree with the second part of your post, the first part is way off.  I have never used a car wash, my truck was garaged, and this happened to me the third year of ownership.  Definitely a defect in paint, application, and/or lack of quality control.

We purchased a 2017 Tahoe and recently noticed that the paint on the hood and the roof is fading.  We took it to a Colorize body shop and they explained that it was the clear coat that was cracking. I then took it to the dealership where we bought it and they confirmed that it was due to the clear coat being cracked.    Unfortunately our warranty expired at 3 years and or 360000 miles.  We are at 54000 miles.  We also have a problem with paint on  the luggage rack brackets fading and coming off.  This happened about a year ago, but the hood and roof became noticeable around February of 2022.  I'm very disappointed that we should be having these problems especially since  it is the most expensive car we have ever bought and that we will have to pay nearly $2000 plus to get everything repaired. It should be considered a recall problem.  Much to my surprise, the Chevrolet estimate was lower than Colorize one.  I definitely be  contacting  the complaint department of Chevrolet.

    • I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
