Newbie question...


Just purchased my 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 a few weeks back and just recently noticed an interesting “bend” on my grill. It is located on the driver side.   Dealer states that all 2019 Z71s have this bend.  Is this the case?  If so, why?

Aww BS...The dealer is full of it... When they told you that did you say well come show me that on others???  What trim is it LT?  I've never seen that before.  Looks like it was melted.

Yeah, that’s defective. I have an RST Z71, and this is how mine is in that spot...

They are not telling you the truth, if it is not the same as the passenger side, then....

The dealer is right, you have the ultra rare "Droopy Grille edition Silverado."  ?  Got to love those dealers, the "they all do that." dealers.  I can't imagine they can stick to their guns if you push it, and you should push it.  I know it's unfair to the good dealers, and there are some, but this is an example of why there is so much talk about stealerships on these boards.

Lie!!! That is a lie. Go to the dealer and tell them to contact GM.  It only melts w chrome bumper. The curve on the bumper creates a heat focal point that melts that point on Botha sides. I’m actually the first person to have noticed and now my dealer went out and checked their trucks. And found three trucks where they also melted. The dealer I contacted is martine Chevrolet in Torrance California. They are great. This is an issue that GM I now aware of and is starting to figure out the best solution. Mine was replaced and started melting a week later lol.

But, I do like the idea of just going to the dealer to call them liars, I am sure there have been other things they have not been truthful about.

Did you get your replaced?

I have a 2018, might just want to start a whole new post describing what you have going on with your truck.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
