Personal mechanic noted rotting frame areas, tubes between main frame supporting gas tank and connecting shock absorbers. Metal fabricating business consulted and when gas tank was removed and entire main frame exposed severe rusting of main frame on both sides noted. Appears entire frame should be replaced or extensive welding of new metal onto existing frame. The rear passenger shoch broke off and fell onto the highway prior to this. The gas tank was near falling off too. See attached pictures.

Imy 2013 Chevy Z21 has started leaking sround the light on top and back light on the hood of the truck. I noticed wet spot on back part of headliner and some mold in the area. I have found where other people have said the same problem on their 2013 Silverado, I can't found any recalls on this. I feel there needs tio be a recall from what I have found about this.. my 3 year old son rides in the backseat right where the leak is.and I'm afraid it could make him sick

The driver door handle (both the interior or exterior handles) would not open the door when stopped. The repair shop showed me a small pot metal arm that broke inside the door panel and caused the problem. While not an issue by itself, if the auto was in an accident, this would not have allowed the driver to exit the vehicle, depending on the final resting position. Further adding to this is that the issue appeared for a day, then the door worked fine for 2 more days before becoming permanently non-functioning.

I noticed excessive frame rust. Contacted my local dealer and they took the truck in for proper fix. Rust was supposedly ground off and frame and undercarriage were undercoated. Apparently the factory wax coating was not properly cleaned before paint. I recently noticed the rust is back on the frame and front steering parts. This truck has only 16,000 miles, is garage kept and has rarely been driven in winter months.

Paint has peeled off above the windshield, paint looks very thin and brittle. Dashboard has two cracks near the passenger airbag. I am worried that if the airbag every went off the piece of plastic will be shot off and be a piece of shrapnel in an accident.

Paint peeling off vehicle.

- Church Hill, TN, USA

Paint is chipping and peeling along upper windshield. There have been no rocks or hail or any other reason for this to happen. A flake came off one day and as time went by I began to notice more areas. Upon a google search of Chevy forums I find that this is not an uncommon issue, right down to the specific year/make/model and area of damage.

I take good care of my dash, I put a blanket over it and a sun visor to protect it from the sun. Yet, it still managed to get a crack. I believe it might be due to GM using cheap material or over tightening the dash. This had to happen on a very hot day when my truck was parked.
