I went to GMC Twitter with complaint and pictures..of course they say out of warranty..it’s not a warranty problem it’s a quality issue, my opinion.

 

Hi, Sherry. We're unable to speculate on if this can be covered under the corrosion warranty until it has been diagnosed by a dealership. The bumper-to-bumper warranty covers repairs due to defects in materials or workmanship on a vehicle. However, the factory bumper-to-bumper warranty has expired for your vehicle.

I don't have a flaking problem on my 2018 Silverado, but the paint does chip very easily. My only advice is to keep the truck out of the sun as much as possible. Also, wax the paint periodically to k

Unfortunately, that door can't be spotted, and is only a sign of things to come. It must be completely stripped of all paint, all trim removed, then blended into adjacent panels, removing all trim on

It’s just ridiculous that we are dealing with this and no one wants to take ownership of the problem..I love my GMC but I’m very disappointed also. I went and done post to GMC Corporate on Twitter and

Same issue on my 15 summit white Sierra 

I guess it's just luck of the draw. My 2017 paint is still perfect, a friend at work has a 2014 red Z71 and his paint is perfect, still, as well.

I have the same issue!   Sad part is Chevrolet actually fixed the issue the first time it occurred.   When I asked them to repaint the truck they said they only repair the affected area. They painted the door behind the window in the area all of the people in this thread are showing, along with above the windshield.   Fast forward a little over a year, and now the other door and sides of the front windshield are peeling.   I contacted the dealer they said they couldn't help, but recommended I speak to customer satisfaction.  I called and they responded something to the effect of  we don't make the paint, and sometimes paint only lasts three years!   They said we already fixed it for you once and there is no more money available!!   So....They admitted there is a problem, it is their responsibility....then when it occurs again,  it is not and they have no more money to help!   Really sad...I spent $55,000.00 for a truck and the paint fails in a little over 4 years!  

I have been searching for a class action attorney or pending case that has already started, but haven't located anything yet?  I am considering a small claims case, my attorney said there is a very good chance this would be the best way to go, but I can not repaint the truck for the $5000.00 limit in our state?

 

Chevrolet you should be ashamed!   I have purchased so many of your vehicles since I have been driving I can't even count them all......I have always considered myself a chevy guy......but no more, I will probably never purchase another GM product.  I was considering a new Vette, but I probably won't do it....especially since I want a white one, and you can't figure out how to make white paint last!

My paint is flaking off my GMC as well. I have a 2016 GMC Sierra-white in color. Mine is flaking around the window of the back drivers side door and on the hood. It appears to be a problem You would think GMC would have a recall on this or something. Especially the price you pay for them.

Just noticed my 2015 Denali HD in summit white is doing the same thing on the driver side rear door.

I thought a turkey had taken a crap on it then I noticed it was the turkey turd tan primer gm uses and the paint evidently just flaked off over night.

Whats next?

Mine is parked in a shed 70% of the time! I think I’ll just take a black paint marker and write some anti gm rhetoric on the panels!!!!

It’s also a shame that my sons 2005 2500 SLT paint looks better than my 2015.

Think I’ll be buying a Ford next diesel I buy. I’ve already been through the oil pump pick-up tube with my 05 5.3 that I bought new. Then the 8 speed transmission  problems with my 2015 half ton that I bought new, oh which also dropped a valve on the 6.2 engine at 69k miles. Now to the 2015 Denali hd diesel I bought as a certified pre- owned which had half a foot of play in the steering when I picked it up…. So many dealer problems with that, I don’t want to type! Oh then there’s the cp4 pump crap on the $70k diesels, now the paint flying off as I drive down the road!!!!! SMDH in shame!!!

Jesus that is awful, fortunately you could get it repainted and the body lines would make it easy to blend

Just curious, has anyone tried getting the areas that are flaking off wrapped with vinyl?  Mine is starting to flake around the passenger window so I was thinking a black vinyl would look cool to cover it.  Thoughts?

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
