Paint chips and corrosion on 1 month old truck

[DrPontiac]

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.

The plate is definitely aluminum however there is rust already starting where I washed it yesterday in the corners

No paint chips or rust on my Trail Boss. At 5500 miles. No chips or rust on my last TB either. 2021 w/20,000.

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.

I have seen rust flecks on some of my vehicles in the past that was from the metal being shed from a snow plow blade.

do you do a lot of highway driving, most of my driving is highway and it seems like bugs can chip the paint off at high speeds. i am at 90k miles and will be repainting my front bumper next summer, waiting for winter to be over when they stop using rock salt on the roads

I don't have a lot of rust on mine yet,  but my 24 silverado is filled with rock chips.  Most of them are down the sides of the box.  I do a lot of gravel road driving though so I kind of expected it.  Never should have gone with a black truck lol

Do you have the mudflaps and the wide flat running boards to help with the gravel road issue?

If you expect perfection then park it in the garage and never drive it.

I have a 2024 GMC SIERRA SLT which is summit white in color. My truck has 15,000 miles on it and the paint is chipping along the door edges in areas that are not touched by hands or anything else. You can see the gray primer which looks to be pristine. This is frustrating as I have NEVER experienced this with all of my previous GM vehicles. I have an appointment with the dealer and am hoping to get this rectified. Will keep you posted.

My dealership has touched these chips up. It doesn't look like the original paint job (rough finish) but at least they're trying. We'll see how long it lasts. Disappointing -
