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 the federal safety agency 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.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 body complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 90, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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 chevrolets. 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 on my 2014 chevy silverado bubbling and peeling off
Satellite-radio antenna on top of truck is leaking inside of the truck. The vehicle was parked in our driveway when this occurred. Damage done to the interior of the truck due to this happening.
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.
There was a death in this vehicle on a state highway ga I-20 wb. Police reports were filed. The vehicle was unsalvagable. Recalls issued are dated after this date.
Paint peeling..paint on hood, side doors by windows are peeling
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.
It started as a small bubbles in the paint on the roof right above the windshield before the sunroof. 2 bubbles cracked and driving down the road it took paint off the roof. It looks like someone were to just peel it all off. There are no chips no dings or anything it's peeling off paint everyday and I look online and there are hundreds of others saying the same thing and it's ridiculous 40k truck and the paint is peeling off like there wasn't anything there. All the primer is still there just paint is peeling off badly. I'm very unpleased by gm and the dealerships saying it's out of warranty and can't help with this. Gm knows there is a paint issue with these vehicles but won't do anything to help customers. I only have taken one picture so far will have more to come. I also have other people complaining as well about paint even on 2017 trucks this is ridiculous and we have to do something about this issue.
I purchased this vehicle june of 2018. I currently have 6+ pain chips on the truck and it keeps getting worse. I do not take the truck through automatic car washes and I keep the truck in a garage. I have seen other chevy silverado owners with the exact issue. I do not feel we should have to pay for these damages as its a defect to their paint job.
Paint peeling, the vehicle has never been off road. Peeling around the doors but gm wont fix it and now its out of warranty.
When locking doors passenger rear door does not lock when parked have to manually lock
The truck shakes uncomfortably at varying intensities between 70-80 MPH.
Purchased vehicle new in 2014 and currently has 50k (12/18) on vehicle. Significant degradation of wax undercoat on frame, peeling off allowing water etc to be trapped beneath it. Frame has significant rust on areas where undercoating failed. Dealer recommends the frame be repaired and rust stopped to "save what is left of it". Dealer says gm will not cover repair. Emailed gm and no reply
Leaking headliner coming in through the 3rd brake light and xm satellite radio
My 2014 chevy silverado has less than 36000 miles on it and has severe rust and corrosion issues throughout the entire frame. Metal is flaking off the flame in large pieces and support elements have significant rust inside and outside. The rest of the vehicle looks brand new. I contacted chevy and they told me it was a known issue and take it to the dealer. The dealer inspected it and said that since none of the corrosion or rust was not "through" meaning they could stick their finger through a hole, it was not covered. They offered to replace the frame at my cost. This is severe rust. It is not simple surface rust expected on vehicle. It is flaking off and would take significant labor to grind/brush and repair. The frame as it is now is a safety issue and I cringe every time I hit a pothole. I fear for my safety and for the safety of my occupants and fellow drivers if the frame were to collapse while driving due to poor construction and severe rust. I informed the dealership of this asking how flaking rust on the main frame and support members was not an issue and was told it was "minor" rust.
I bought this 2014 silverado with 42,000 miles in october 2015. I noticed the top of the cab, by the GPS/satellite radio antenna had a spot of clear coat missing it's about the size of a dime. I figured that it was normal wear and tear. However about two and a half years later both front doors, driver and passenger have developed the same issue. Both spots are very noticeable and look terrible. I've also noticed that the rear quarters have clear coat that's chipped away. I took the truck to a local body shop and the first thing they did was opened the door and noticed that I have rust forming on the inside edge of the door. They recommended I take the truck to the dealer to have it looked at as chevy supposedly has a 10 year corrosion warranty. The first dealer didn't want to help and tried to say that I was washing it wrong. I then took it to the dealer I bought it from. I walked them around the whole truck showing every spot that has chipped clear coat. They did take pictures of all the spots I showed them and would submit them to gm with a filed claim. Gm came back a few days later and said it's pretty much my problem since I'm not the 'first owner'. I could fix the issue myself, but after doing some further research. Owners of these trucks come back to say that the problem returns, some cases these trucks have been completely resprayed. This is unacceptable. We pay a lot of money for a truck and it goes to crap in less than 5 years. My last chevy was 20 years old when I traded it in and it didn't have paint issues like these newer trucks.
Paint failure on my white 2014 chevy silverado. I have gone to the dealership and escalated my complaint to mary barra's office. Declined to provide remedy or correction stating there are no known defects to this product.
Paint is flaking away very easily
The paint is peeling on the right front passenger door on the lower part near the front of the door. This truck has never been in an accident or had any type of work done to the paint.
I purchase a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500 from a chevrolet dealership in april 2017 for my son to go to college. The truck was in perfect condition. It was a "certified used vechicle". The powertrain warranty was extended an additional 20,000 mile over oem warranty with the certified status. We took the truck home and my son started driving the truck. Roughly a month later, we both notice the clear coat on the driver's door began to peel in a small spot. We took the truck into the dealership at it's 1st service interval and asked the service department about the spot. The service manager said that this was a very unusual situation, and unfortunately since the original 36,000 mile warranty had expired there was nothing they could do. After an another month had passed, we noticed the spot on the door had grown larger, and there were additional spots popping up on various spots on the truck. I personally took the vechicle to the dealer and once again they indicated this was an isolated incident and chevrolet currently wasn't experiencing and issues with their paint and clear coat process. My son went to college this fall, and upon his return from college I saw the spots of clear coat continue to increase in size and number. I recently went online and clicked several chevrolet forums regarding the fallibility of their paint and clear coat. I was amazed at the numerous complaints about their paint and clear coat. This wasn't an isolated incident as the dealer indicated but one that involves many trucks and cars that chevrolet produces during the years of 2013-2015. Can there be something done regarding this matter. I am aware that this isn't a safety issue per say; however, we have a problem that chevrolet isn't willing to acknowledge or repair.
Paint is peeling really easy on the bottom of the passanger side and a little bit on the driver side. Paint peels really easy. For only 34,000 miles this is not normal. Dealer said there is nothing they can do
About a couple months ago I started noticing paint peeling off on the lower half of the doors, driver and passenger of all doors and also on the sides of the box. My truck is 3 years old with 59,000 miles now. I went to the dealer today and they said I should contact chevrolet directly. There are a lot of other chevrolet trucks the same year and even newer trucks having the same issue. I have had mud flaps installed since the truck was new( the dealer blamed it on rock chips without even looking at the truck). I had to start complaining somewhere right!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that while performing a tire rotation on the vehicle, the contact became aware of extensive surface rust to the under carriage of the vehicle. Eagle chevrolet located at 1330 old country rd, riverhead, ny 11901, (631) 494-3812, was contacted and the contact was informed that the surface rust was normal. The contact was concerned that the rust proofing was insufficient. The manufacturer was not contacted or made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 17,000... ...updated 11/15/17 *bf updated 11/28/2017
The paint in the bed can be peeled off by hand
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While inspecting the vehicle, the contact discovered that the entire subframe was rusted and corroded. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (denooyer chevrolet located in albany, new york) who applied a wax rust proof coating to the frame, but the rusting continued to progress. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who informed the contact that the wax rust proof coating was a temporary remedy and would eventually wear off. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed by the manufacturer that a powder coating was being applied to only newer vehicles to prevent the rusting from occurring. The failure mileage was 29,000. *bf consumer stated the vehicle was sent to an authorized chevy dealership for "rust proofing" of frame back in dec. 2016. Body shop manager notified me that this was a "band aid" to the problem in 2014 chevy silverado. During manufacturing of vehcle I was told gm puts a "wax" on frame. Once the "wax" wears off, the metal on the frame is exposed to the harmful enviromental agents (salt,water, dirt). After 6 months of "rust proofing," rust re-appeared on frame. This frame will not last 3-5 years. Very dangerous and un-safe. Updated 10/4/18
Paint "bubbling" with possible rust forming under paint on drivers door and front passenger side fender.
The condenser unit has cracked and come away for the structural housing causing the unit to leak freon meaning that the A/C does not work. This is a design fault for the 2014 chevrolet silverado models through gm/chevrolet and currently there is a national back order on the part (nr. 84211191). This shows that there are a large number of people experiencing this problem and as things stand chevrolet cannot even give me an estimate as to when the part will become available again. I feel as though this should be grounds enough for some sort of reimbursement / recall.
