We bought this vehicle used at Goodwin Chevrolet in Oxford Maine in November 2019. It has 80,000 on it. We were told by our mechanics yesterday that it won't take another sticker because of the frame being rusted. GM knew they were having problems with these frames on these vehicles. I don't have an extended warranty. So now we have a vehicle that is no good to us. Completely unacceptable. I have a November 14th appointment with Goodwin to look at this truck. No idea what to do next.

Unknown. There is times when parking my truck. I press on the brake paddle and it sound and feels like my truck jerks at first before it brakes. This has been going on for almost the 8 years I’ve own the truck. Also I have only owned the truck for 8 years and my paint is already peeling off. It doesn’t have anything to do with the brakes. I just had my truck serviced the brakes and drums. It still does it.

The body and frame of my 2016 Chevy Silverado is rusted from the inside out. The frame under the vehicle has holes and the structure and stability of the vehicle has been compromised due to the extensive rust within the frame. Chevy needs to include 2016 Silverado's in their frame rust recall that extends to 2015 vehicles. They need to replace the frames on these trucks to meet safety standards. Obviously something was missed when assembling these vehicles.
