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 they act like they’re concerned..they wouldn’t recognize all the posts of different peoples vehicles..I think I will keep posting pics to their Twitter account..

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

Here's another one.  My 2015 Sierra Denali.  Same place.  Such BS that GM won't help us with this.  Clearly there's a problem on their end.

If you are going to attempt to fix this yourself do not use the brush on touch up paint. Use the spray can and make sure you shake the hell out of the can to mix the pigment thoroughly. The longer you leave the peeling paint the more it will peel as moisture gets underneath it and forces it to continue to peel.

Amazon.com: Dupli-Color Olympic White Exact-Match Automotive Paint for GM Vehicles - 8 oz, Bundles with Prep Wipe (3 Items) : Automotive 

FYI - $13 a can at local O'Reilly auto parts vs Amazon. Olympic white and Summit white are the same color just different names Chevy / GMC.

Lots of youtube videos on how to fix yourself. Takes a lot of time, patience, sanding, blending which is why shops charge $$$

I have the exact same issue in the exact same spot. I have the premium paint as well (same color). Did anyone ever find a solution to this? I feel as if it is a manufacturer problem!

Everyone has put me off from dealerships to corporate..I tried Twitter GMC Corporate-they replied but took no responsibility. I posted a lot of the photos of other trucks with exact problem which they didn’t like it did nothing..sad because it is a manufacturing issue.

They, along with many other manufacturers, have been having problems for over 30 years since they went to base coat/clear coat. I have personally painted well over 1000 "peelers". I was working at a Chevrolet dealership from the mid '80's through the mid '90's. Me and 1 other painter each had 2 peelers a week scheduled up to a year in advance. They were every model from Berettas and Corsicas to trucks,vans, and Suburbans. The first ones were silvers and blues 2-3 years old. The white ones normally took 5-6 years to start peeling. Gm cut the warranty from 6 years to 5 years, then to 4 years,  cutting out many of the vehicles they were paying to repaint. I, personally, have never seen a red or maroon vehicle peel like the truck pictured above. I can't explain exactly why, only what I have observed. The clear may come apart, but the base doesn't peel, like most other colors. All I can say is the truck will eventually peel everywhere, and the cost to fix it right will be very high. Anything other than completely stripping the whole vehicle top to bottom, end to end is only a temporary patch. Now is the time to decide whether the truck is worth the investment it will take to repair it correctly, or buy a red one?

 GM has had many paint issues going "at least" back to the early to mid-80's,back then it was due to bad primer, I ordered a top line Olds Cutlass Supreme Brougham from the factory in 1984, in a deep Burgundy color.A year later, I waxed and entirely buffed the whole car in the shade, and went in for lunch. Came out, and it looked like the neighbour had cut his lawn and sprayed the clippings all over my car.....but they wouldn't wipe off! Why, because they were cracks filled with white wax. The battle between GM and myself ensued, and lasted well over 6 months....I simply would not let go. In the end, the car was in the shop being entirely stripped to bare metal, and just get moving forward, I agreed to pay 25%, while they paid 75%. So I won and lost, all at the same time.

 

Then don't forget the Chevy and GMC Trucks of the Mid-80's for the same reason....driving down the street with dinner plate sized pieces of paint missing from all kinds of areas. Shame Shame!

Well, I know this is an older thread, but add me to the club.  2015 Sierra 1500 in Bronze Alloy Metallic.  I just noticed peeling today near the window on the driver's side rear door.  It's approximately 1/2" in diameter.

Considering age and mileage of the pickup (125K), I don't expect any help from GMC as it relates to warranty.  I see a class action suit has been filed about the issue in Florida, so I've inquired if the firms have any advice.

If there is a newer, more detailed thread, I apologize, and I will look further.  I just landed here with a Google search about the problem.  If anyone has new pointers, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dave..I have got no where with this problem..I would love to know more about the class action because there is a lot of us out there having this problem. My truck only has 62,000 miles and it’s like 8 inches long, so disappointing they won’t do something..it’s obviously an issue caused when they painted them on the line.

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.

This is how my 2015 looks. Exact same spot. Anyone know if GM will now fix the problem with their malfunction.

I have a 2014 Sierra with the Tri-Colour White and it started on my rear passenger door. I thought it was rock chips since I didn't have splash guards so whatever I found a shop that would paint that door for $400 CAD. Now my drivers side door (same as everyone else) and my drivers door post is now flaked probably 45-50%.. How can GM turn a blind eye to this??

My paint is also delaminating at my back driver side rear door . I just got a estimate from Hedrick Chevrolet for 2581.00 to replace trim and repaint GM initially told me they would take care of it if the dealer ship diagnosed it as a factory issue and then said they might pay for a some of it know I have not heard back after getting the estimate.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?
