2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

IN APRIL 2018, I PURCHASED A NEW 2018 CHEVROLET 1500 SILVERADO. IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 I NOTICED AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF CORROSION ON THE CHASSIS. IN MARCH 2019, THE CORROSION HAS INCREASED TO THE TOTAL FRONT OF MY CHASSIS RUSTING. NOTE: THE MARKERS USED AS A REFERENCE FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO ASSEMBLE THE VEHICLE WERE STILL PRESENT, INDICATING A SHARPLY MARKER HAD ADHERED TO THE TRUCK BETTER THAN THE NOXRUST COATING. NOTE: I CLEAN MY VEHICLE REGULARLY( EVERY TWO WEEKS). I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO TWO SEPARATE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS TO NO AVAIL. THEY STATED THAT THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER STANDARD DAMAGE TO THE PAINT. THE FAULT WAS NOT DAMAGE TO THE PAINT, RATHER THE WAX COATING SIMPLY DID NOT HOLD UP. ACCORDING TO THE SHOP RECORDS, MY TRUCK WAS STILL WITHIN THE 3 YEAR/36,000 MIKE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY MEASURING AT 30,521 MILES. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTOS FOR MORE DETAIL.

RADIO QUIT WORKING AND TRUCK WOULD NOT START TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP THEY ORDERED NEW RADIO AND THEN LATER INSTALLED IT STILL DIDENT WORK ORDERED MODULE FOR IT TOLD THEM TRUCK WAS SHORTING OUT AND WOULD NOT START AND ASKED THEM IF I SHOULD LEAVE IT ON BATTERY CHARGER OVER NIGHT SO IT WOULD START IN MORNING THEY SAID YES KEEP DOING THAT UNTIL PART CAME IN IT DID AND THEY FIXED IT A MONTH AGO WAS AT MALL TRUCK UOULD NOT START TRIED IT AGAIN STILL NOTHING TOOK KEY OUT WAITED COUPLE MINUTES AND IT STARTED THEN SEATBELT STUCK IN DOOR AND WENT THROUGH DOOR PANEL AT HOME DEPOT TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AN COULD FIX THE SEAT BELT BUT NOT THE DOOR BECAUSE I PUT BLACK SILICONE ON DOOR TO COVER HOLE AND NOW THE HEADLINER WHERE YOU PUT YOUR SUNGLASSES IS FALLING DOWN WORRIED I BOUGHT A LEMON BUT NOT SURE BECAUSE THIS IS MY FIRST NEW TRUCK AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A DELAY WHEN YOU LET OF THE GAS AND IT STOPS GIVING THE ENGINE GAS

TAKATA RECALL. WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY I HEARD A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF MY TRUCK. IT STOPPED FOR A SECOND AND THEN DID IT AGAIN THE CLUNKING SOUND GOT PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER. I NOTICED THE SOUND AT LOW SPEEDS, HIGH SPEEDS, GOING OVER MINOR BUMPS AND BIG BUMPS IN THE ROAD. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE GOING OVER BIG BUMPS I COULD HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE FLEXING AND/OR GRINDING METAL COMING FROM THE REAR SUSPENSION. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO ROCK IT BACK AND FORTH AND NOTICED THE KNOCKING/GRINDING SOUNDS COMING FROM THE UNDER CARRIAGE AND THE SUSPENSION. I GOT BACK IN THE VEHICLE AND DROVE OFF AND THE SOUNDS AGAIN STARTED. I HAVE INFANT TWINS THAT I WAS DRIVING IN MY VEHICLE AT THIS TIME AND I BECAME VERY CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY AND MINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP (SINCE IT IS BRAND NEW AND AT THE TIME ONLY HAD 2-3K MILES ON IT). THEY SAID "ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN CHEVROLET TRUCKS" THE PAPERWORK THEY GAVE ME AFTER THE "REPAIR" STATED" LUBRICATE REAR LEAF SPRINGS AND RE-TORQUE BOLTS" THIS INDICATES I HAD LOOSE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AND I AGAIN TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY AGAIN STATED THE SAME REPAIR AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY OTHER REMEDY AND ALSO REFUSED TO REPLACE THE LEAF SPRINGS. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. AGAIN I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY OTHER FORM OF SERVICE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 8K MILES ON IT AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ON 4 SEPARATE INSTANCES FOR THE SAME SUSPENSION PROBLEM. THE CLUNKING AND LOOSE SUSPENSION NOISES HAVE RETURNED AND I WILL BE TAKING THE TRUCK IN FOR THE 5TH TIME. THIS IS UNSAFE, AND MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE IN MY TRUCK NOR ALLOW ME TO DRIVE OUR CHILDREN IN OUR TRUCK BECAUSE SHES CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY!

I BOUGHT THIS 2018 SILVERADO BRAND NEW 20 MILES ON IT I HAD PROBLEMS SINCE THE FIRST DAY I DROVE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP TRUCK HAS LOUD NOISE INSIDE THE CABIN COMING FRYGHE DOORS 6 MONTHS AFTER THE GAUGES ARE NOT READING ACCURATELY TOOK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT FOR A MONTH THEY FIX THE GAUGES BUG THE NOISE STILL HAPPENING WORST TRUCK EVER FOR 40 K I OWN A 2004 AND THE INSIDE IS REALLY QUIET ALSO THE PAINT IS CHIPPING THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S CAUSE THE DRIVING CONDITIONS I WOULD UNDERSTAND IF IT WAS IN THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK BUT PAINT IS CHIPPING IN THE SIDE AND BACK OF THE TRUCK I DID MY RESEARCH AND LOOK ON YOUTUBE AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS CHEVROLET SHOULD REALLY LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE WE ALL GO AND TRADE IT IN FOR A FORD I HAVE PICTURES OF THIS I'LL TRY TO POST IT IF I CAN LOOK AT THE GAUGES EVEN WHEN THE TRUCK IS OFF

VEHICLE DEVELOPED A VIBRATION AT 80MPH WHICH FADES IN AND OUT. TIRES WERE ROAD FORCED BALANCED, AND ALIGNMENT WAS DONE. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS CHANGED. THE SHACKING AT 80MPH CONTINUED. ON A 30 MILE COMMUTE AT 80MPH THE VIBRATION IS EXTREME 25% OF THE TIME (LIKE DRIVING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP), MODERATE ANOTHER 25% OF THE TIME, AND THE OTHER 50% THE VIBRATION IS NOT NOTICEABLE.

CONSTANT VIBRATION/SHAKE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 65 MPH. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE THE DAY IT LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN ON HIGHWAY AND VIBRATION IS FELT, PUTTING THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL DOES NOT CHANGE THE VIBRATION, SLOWING DOWN MAKES IT SLIGHTLY WORSE, SPEEDING IT MAKES IT SLIGHTLY BETTER. FEELS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE GEOMETRY OF THE TRUCK MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ROAD FORCE BALANCE WAS ALREADY DONE AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS ON A BRAND NEW TRUCK.
