I have a Brownstone Metallic 2015 Silverado built at the Flint plant in May 2015. The truck has 52,000 miles and has been sometimes driven on gravel roads.  I must have got lucky, my paint looks like new everywhere, not even one rock chip. I have never had a vehicle with a better paint job.

I’m also having the same issue in the same spot, having the dealer look at it today, if they say no then there should be a class action lawsuit against the company for defective paint. Just saying.

Let me know what the dealership says.

Same year, same colour, same luck. but Sierra built in Mexico.  It is strange why some peel and flake while most don't. Maybe the cause is a result of factors after the vehicle was built.

I have a 14 Sierra that’s the same color as yours and the paint is flaking off in the same spot on both rear doors.

I have a '14 Sierra and it is doing the same of both doors, the hood from rock chips, and the bed of the truck is peeling like crazy. 

 

It is Metallic Silver. I recommend anyone looking at buying a used '14 Sierra RUN as fast a possible because the paint job of these trucks is horrible. 

 

I have tried to mitigate this the best I can with touch up paint and covering the affected areas to prevent it from spreading but it is only a matter of time before that happens. 

 

I love the truck and mechanically the truck is sound but I am severely disappointed in the GMC paint job.

When you try and fix it use the GMC Paint Touch Up. Do NOT use Touch Up Direct as it will ruin the paint and not match. I used TouchUpDirect and then went on top of it with the GMC paint and it looks horrible. It made the paint "wrinkle" up. Here are some pics and maybe you can learn from my mistakes.

I have a 2014 Summit White that is peeling as well. Same spot on both rear doors and dead center of the cab about 2 inches back from the windshield. Several small places on the front end but I have not ruled out rock chips for these.

Yep, 14 Blue Topaz metallic, Drivers side rear door, same place, starts at the bottom of the window and goes up about 3 inches and a inch wide. I'd say manufacturing/Paint shop problem.

Anyone else having issues with the paint peeling off your truck?  My 2014 has started to peel and when I contacted GMC they said it was my problem and refused to help fix it.  The dealership wants $1700 to paint the entire door.  I haven't even owned the truck four years.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 2014 Sierra that has this same problem, same spot. I called and was told they couldn’t do anything about it. 
Apparently, their is an issue with this model in that area of the vehicle. I am totally disappointed as I purchased new and paid extra 1,000 for this color.

Exactly the same thing happening to me.  Drivers side door- same spot.  Not sure what I'm gonna do.

Dealership told me it wasn’t their fault and told me to go to their service department to get an estimate. Painter at the service department told me it’s an e-coat issue that doesn’t allow the paint to bond correctly. 
 

Same issue on my door. Now seeing it on the hood and around the front windshield.

    • Glad it worked for you. I tried that 1st, about 2 years ago. Didn't help. I also tried doing a hard reset (disconnecting battery for minimum of 30 minutes). Worked a couple times, but after one summer of doing it over and over, that no longer worked.  I was fairly confident it was either the compressor or a failed actuator, but I just couldn't identify which one. Had to research which actuators do what and which last numbers are associated with each.
    • Took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to find this. Isn't that a problem? On the mainstream media I can INSTANTLY find 100 articles bashing President Trump ... but when it comes to TRUTH in American corporate news & search engines, it's carefully filtered to support ONE SIDE. A Republic cannot survive like this! Incredible! Even all the AI searchers out there failed as well! ChatGPT said it needed more details on the video that I provided a DIRECT LINK to! I thought AI was the be-all, end-all?? I had to dig it up myself. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! 🤬   Here's the statement directly from our President:     Glenn Beck's reporting on the operation:   https://glennbeck.com/watch/videos/trump-just-revealed-a-massive-military-secret-that-lowered-gas-prices   In case that link doesn't work, here's the YouTube link:     And another 15 minutes to find this clip out of Glenn Beck's video - the first few seconds is all the corporate media will allow the public to see, since the low IQ people will think Trump said " I love inflation ", and that was the end of it. Taken WAY out of context! Here's that part, plus the 2nd part about the oil smuggling operation:  
    • More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade. 
    • Thanks for the point of reference 
    • Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.
