Paint chips and corrosion on 1 month old truck


Recommended Posts

I purchased 2024 sierra 1500 AT4 June 20 2024 and already paint is chipping very easily off both front and back bumpers, the running boards are down to bare metal and lug nuts are starting to rust. 
Everything is stock from factory. 
has anyone heard or dealt with anything similar? 
my last 2015 hd had 200k on gravel roads and I could count the chips it had on one hand. 
the chips on bumpers are down to primer and looks like no adhesion.

Those assist steps are aluminum so they won't rust atleast. I have the same and that corner will get worse. I am leaving the mud that will accumulate in that corner as a wear stoppage. 🤓

Did you buy this thing used???  All the acne in the first picture, it looks like bad paint work.  

 

The nuts "rusting", use some good wheel cleaner like Adams Polishes that will get rid of the "rust" which is most likely rail dust or brake dust.
