The paint on the rear passenger and driver doors is peeling off. Looks to me that it's a bad batch of paint. It's peeling off on the same location on both doors and this wasn't caused by rock chips or any type of impact.

Paint on my 2014 Chevrolet Silverado is chipping or flaking off for reasons other than natural causes. The vehicle is garage kept and has only 55,000 miles on it. The paint should in no way be failing with a vehicle this new and this expensive. As you will see in the photos the paint not sticking is in areas that do not incur damage from everyday driving. I have contacted the dealership and GM manufacturer and both have told me that paint is not their problem. When I do a quick google search for "2014 Silverado paint, " there are 100S of forums with 1000S of comments with the same issue. One of the first pictures I came to when I searched, showed the same vehicle with paint gone in the exact same spots. After talking with the dealership and manufacturer numerous times, I felt this was one of my last resorts. The manufacturer laughed me off and said NHTSA would pay no attention as paint isnt a safety concern. Someone has to make this right without me having to spend thousands to repaint. It's a clear manufacturer defect and they should be held accountable by all standards. The cost of their vehicles being so high, all parts should last for more than 55000 miles, including the paint. Again, this vehicle is garage kept and loses paint just by driving with a breeze out. Aside from the 2 photos attached, I'm also losing paint around the windshield and low on the door panels.

This is the worst paint job I have ever had on a vehicle. We bought this truck brand new from paso robles Chevrolet on September 8, 2014. By summer of 2018, the paint had started peeling off the rear passenger door. The dealership told me this is a known issue with this year of Chevrolet. Chevrolet and the dealership refused to help. This year I took the truck in to get the doors painted which cost me $2,500. While at the body shop, they discovered three more places that the paint is chipping and peeling off. I put in another case with Chevrolet and they denied any assistance.

Driving down the highway, while coming up to traffic and coming to a stop, the brake pedal became rock hard and made it difficult to slow down or stop in time. In an attempt to stop the vehicle from crashing into the rear of the other other vehicles, I swerved to the right to avoid them and side swiped a guardrail. My vehicle now has body damaged on the passenger side. It has been dropped off at concord Chevrolet in concord, California. I also filed a claim with my insurance as well as General Motors.

Paint started peeling on the a pillar driver side and is now peeling on passenger side same place. Also driver side rear window corner peeling as well as passenger side rear window corner paint peeling same place. Paint is now starting to peel above the rear door on the roof as well. I spoke to Chevy dealer as well as customer service and the BBB all said out of warranty even though it is a manufacture defect and the discovery rule should apply as there was no way for me to know the paint was defective within the warranty period.

- Fresno, CA, USA
The paint on my truck is pealing off. I filed a complaint with Chevrolet and they investigated the problem. Chevrolet determined that it was a factory defect but since the truck had 69000 miles on it and was out of the factory warranty they would not fix the paint. I feel since it was determined a factory defect they should pay for the repairs.
