2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 body problems

Filed May 17, 2026 · Body · OH

Frame failed on truck completely rusted through. The safety of my family was put at risk because the chevy dealer it was always serviced at never told me about the rust problem even though they did multi point inspections everytime it was serviced at the dealer. Only time I was ever notified about this was when it was to late to fix. Vehicle has been looked at by a frame an Collison center and said a whole new frame is needed that it is not repairable. The Collison center also told me this is a common problem with these trucks due to the layered steel the manufacturer used to make the frame.

Unknown..... the transmission in my truck began the shutter and shake like I was running over the rumble strip. The truck was at one point locked into 4x4 and even stuck in reverse and almost got me ran over by a diesel when I couldn't get out of his way until the very last second. Im not the only one with this issue. Gm has been knowingly mass producing these defective transmissions and selling them to the public with no notication to the consumers. This is obviously defrauding the consumers out of not only there money but also many of there livelihoods. As many families depend on there trucks in order to financially support there families. As mine does. Gm sold defective equipment. Completely aware that they where defective this is fraud and they should be held liable for there actions.

Over the course of ownership the chassis of this vehicle has gotten horrendously corroded, which has caused structural components of the frame to begin to develop rust holes needing repair. These holes in the chassis are caused by the incorrect application of the factory chassis wax coating and has caused the entire frame to become deeply rusted through in many areas. Additionally I have been through two transmissions, the first occurring at around 55,000 miles of use, and the second around 105,000 miles. Seems there is a point of failure after around 50,000 miles on these transmissions.

A well-documented and increasingly widespread problem related to excessive rust on the frames of many vehicles in this particular model year range. The cause of the problem appears to stem from a poorly applied or degrading wax coating, which, over time, peels off, leaving the frame exposed to corrosion, particularly in harsh weather conditions such as heavy snow and road salt exposure. The result is catastrophic—my Silverado’s frame and crossmembers are now severely compromised, and the integrity of the vehicle is in question.

GM has known issues with their frames rotting prematurely. We bought a 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 in 2016 and had it undercoated at a dealership that claims it will prolong the inevitable rusting/frame rot. The truck has just under 99k miles and should be worth $15-17,000 and won't pass inspection due to severe frame rot we are told it is very unsafe and not drivable. We will be lucky to get $4,000-5,000 to trade for a part out. Our only other option is to spend $10,000 to get a new frame. GM has known about this issue and fails to do anything about it. Toyota had similar issues and stood by their name and products and replaced frames or gave consumers $10,000+ to make it right. It is not fair to the consumer we cannot win a class action against GM and demand a payout for such massive losses. Had we known our frame was so bad, we wouldn't have dropped over $5,000 in it over the last 11 months for rocker panels, cab corners, shocks, bearings, etc. We are out $15,000 on this truck and GM should be held accountable. There are thousands of people nations wide that are in the same boat hoping GM will be held liable at some-point for the distress they have cause their loyal customers.
