On November 14, 2022, I noticed Water leaking in Rear Interior of Cab, Water Leak at Rear Sliding Window. It is clear that it had leaked before as there was several noticeable stains. I took the vehicle up to the Chevrolet dealership in Frisco, Tx to show them. They stated it was a known problem. Another Chevrolet Silverado was next to mine that they said was there for the same reason. [XXX], the service technician told me it was going to be in excess of $4000 to repair. I do not have an extended warranty and the vehicle is outside the standard 3-year warranty. This seems absurd since it is a known issue and clearly a defect in the manufacturing process of the vehicle. There was an NHTSA bulletin issued in August 2020 for this same issue. The bulletin number is 18-NA-383. The vehicle should be recalled and the issue fixed by Chevrolet since is is clearly a defect in the manufacturing process.

The frame of the vehicle has significant rust through. I attempted to go through warranty claim and they denied it and said it was normal. I took it to a body shop who advised that this should not be happening and they recommended a full frame replacement and they advised the rust would spread.

The truck was parked in my home driveway Monday afternoon. It was locked. On Wednesday 2/24/21 our neighbor alerted my wife that there was smoke coming from the truck. We ran out there, but it was already heavily smoking and we could hear crackling and popping noises. Shortly after the truck was in flames. The fire department arrived, put out the flames. The fire marshal did an inspection and indicated it was likely an electrical fire near the tailgate/hitch/license plate.

06/26/2020 I was involved in an accident where my brakes failed. I have had all previous recalls, and one of the recalls made the brake failure worse than the origional brake recalls. I was following at a safe distance when the car if ft of mr stopped quickly. I applied hard brake pressure(easily enough pressure to properly stop) but pressing hard the truck slowed down but at full hard push brake pedal my truck a Chevy Silverado 2020 just wouldnt stop correctly. There is a current recall for this issue I'm finding out now that it has happened to me. My truck has been taken into shop but I need to know my options and where to go from here. I've advised my insurance co of this recall defect and have contacted my attorney to seek damages.

My truck is just over a year old. Has had 4 recalls on the braking system alone. One for excessive brake pad wear. The rear fenders have outward dents on them causing the paint to chip away. Dealership replaced drivers side, waiting to do passenger side. Rear spoiler was leaking and flooded the back seat of the truck was repaired. Front passenger window became inoperable, ( repaired) rear dome light not working correctly ( not repaired) as noted on the vehicle history it had a hard shift out of park. A year later still does. When there is multiple recalls and reprogramming of braking systems I do not feel safe driving with my self in the car let alone my kids or my wife. I live in a very mountain area. I am scared to death to pull my boat or trailers down the mountains in fear of the brakes that have been worked on so many times in a year actually work.. I can see one or maybe two times but not 5 or 6.

The paint on my truck seems in adequate. I have many chips and scratches in my paint they I have never had before in other models and brands. I drive my truck carefully and stay out of conditions where scratches may occur. But the smallest blemish turns into a chip down to the primer. As a consumer I would say that the. Inner of coats of paint and clear coat used is minimal. Would like to see a stronger layer of protection and thicker coat of paint.

I originally bought a new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ld on 06/08/2019, I really liked the truck and its many features. After several weeks I noticed the whole underside frame and driveline components were rusted and corroded. I brought it back to my dealer and they immediately located a replacement vehicle for me. I picked up the 2nd new truck on 07/10/2019. This truck has the same defects as the first vehicle. Chevrolet has an issue with this model truck. I spoke to GM and they didn't seem to care blaming the dealer for not inspecting truck properly. I am very disappointed and unsure where to turn next, can you help me?
