Upon purchasing a New 2015 Silverado my factory paint started pealing around the rear doors approx. 1 year after owning the truck. Upon first sight of the pealing paint I took the truck back to the GM dealer and pointed out the 2 rear doors and the flaking paint. They told me that since I was out of bumper to bumper warranty coverage and over the 36,000 mile warranty they couldn't do anything for me. The issue was getting worse so I took it back again and this time I went through GM Corp. and they offered to give me a discount on the paint job to fix the issue. I'm sorry but a discount on a FACTORY PROBLEM is NOT ACCEPTABLE....especially if its going to cost me $2,000 of my own money to fix a GM PROBLEM!!!!

The wax coating on the frame is falling off and the frame has rust all over. This is a manufacturing defect that Chevrolet refuses to repair under warranty. This is a known problem throughout the Silverado owners.

I am seeing extreme amount of clearcoat peeling all around vehicle. Appears to be specific to this vehicle paint process. Professional paint shop says poor paint job.

Noticed paint is flaking on passenger rear door next to the window now the other door on the drivers side is now peeling. Dealer will not fix problem due to truck being out of warranty by 3,000 miles.

My paint it flaking/peeling around my wheel wells and the dealer says they cant fix it. The paint just keeps peeling and peeling I have three spots and they keep getting bigger to the point they are rusting. The problem is the paint isn't sticking to the metal/primer very cheap paint.

Paint chipping, peeling off everywhere. I have had this truck for 5 months and have 15-20 spots where it is flaking or peeling off. Dealership claims they don't know of any issue yet we found where they had spot treated some chips!

Weak paint, lots of peeling in random spots. Specifically around passenger windows. Dealerships have not been willing to help or file a complaint to gm, should not pay this much for a vehicle and this happen so quickly to the paint.

Paint failure

Frame is rotted in three locations drivers side near gas tank It will not pass inspection I bought it used 2 years ago for my son to use for driving to college. I am very upset and will never buy another GMC /Chevy vehicle again

The frame for my 2015 Chevy Silverado truck failed inspection for excessive rust on the frame, all around it. It could not even be put on a lift. Other Chevy Silverados have been recalled for this rampant issue and yet not this particular model.

Wax coating is evaporating exposing bare metal on the frame. This is the OEM coating and its failure will result premature degradation of the frame of the truck.

this is a cosmetic complaint the paint is peeling

Paint is peeling and flaking in multiple spots on my truck. Gm will not do anything about it because it's after 3 yr or 36000 miles. This is a very popular problem with this year of chevy trucks.

Paint is peeling off near back windows on both sides of the truck.

This picture represents some of the paint loss on the 2015 chevrolet silverado 1500 crew cab. I bought this vehicle brand new and have never been in the snow. There's no way that a vehicle should have paint peeling or have exposed metal.

Paint is pealing off doors, roof, hood, etc.

The paint is peeling/flaking off.

I own a 2015 chevrolet silverado 1500 ltz in maroon red. I have noticed the clear coat throughout almost every panel of the truck is peeling in large bubbles. The hood is especially bad above the grill.

Paint started bubbling and cracking off. It is very obvious that the paint did not adhere to the primer. I have 32000 miles.

The paint is horrible. Chipping and flaking off of the truck.

The paint on this truck has begun to peel in a couple spots. Gm isn't willing to fully cover this as they say it is out of warranty. A 4 year old vehicle shouldn't have paint issues like this, especially when it is a common occurrence with this model year.

Paint is constantly chipping.

My paint is flaking away. Seems like every time I wash it the chips multiply. Chips cover the entire nody

The paint is so cheap on this truck every time I look it it has a new chip and the roof is starting to crack and look horrible took it to chevy they say it's birds it's garage kept has 22000 miles on it I never really drive it's starting to look as bad as my 03 1500hd and it's a work truck

My dog was lacerated via the rear bottom corner of the driver's side door when he ran by it. Not quite sure why the design would come to such a point. A trip to the emergency vet, staples, antibiotics, and $$$ later he is now at home recovering.
