What Owners Say
"The truck has rusted badly and the paint bubbled on the bumpers"
Anonymous, AB (2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 5.3-L V8)"Failed inspection due to serious rust issues with the frame, and lower part of the body. Cost 6000 to have fixed which is ridiculous. CHEVROLET trucks have always rusted but this was over the top. With the treated roads during winter the rust seemed to get worse everyday."
Anonymous, ME (2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS 5.3-L V8)"The paint around the entire windshield has started bubbling and flaking off. In the areas where the paint has flaked off, there is significant rust."
Anonymous A., OR (2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 5.3-L V8)"My son purchased a 10 year rust warranty and the paint failed and rust was present under the flaking paint. Warranty company refused coverage."

"Passenger side door body molding started separating from truck body. This happened a couple of years ago and is now starting to occur on the driver side door. Required me to remove the molding, clean off the remaining glue from the truck and separated molding. Using 3M doubled sided tape, I was easily able to reattach the problem pieces. I havent had any more problems with them since."
