Recently on 12/24/2019 my truck started leaking on the roof interior above the drivers seat. It happened again on 1/1/2020 and was much worse from the side drivers door to across the roof to the middle counsel area. The truck was taken in to a mechanic and a body shop where it was determined that it was the 'shark fin' radio antenna causing the leak. The truck has under 35,xxx miles and just hit only 4 years old in…

Factory installed running boards become unattached to vehicle due to holding clip nuts rusting at weld. Luckily personal inspection (to track down a nuisance rattle) found failure before it became unattached. Chevy only solution was for me to buy new running boards (which prime chevrolet parts department said contained the same type of mounting hardware). No individual replacement parts were offered.

I was driving to work in the morning with no other traffic on the road and randomly the passenger side rear window blew out. It was winter and the rear defroster was on at the time. I smelled burning wires and shut everything off but my headlights and heard a loud pop when the window blew out. This happened at 4am while driving on the highway.

We are an automobile service center. Our customer dropped their vehicle off on a particularly rainy day. The inside of the glass was covered with thick condensation even though the defroster mode with a/c on was selected. On high speed, there was very little airflow from the vents. Upon lowering the driver's window, the fan speed, noise and flow all increased dramatically. An inspection behind the seats revealed…

2800 mileage since new because i have problems fueling the tank. I cannot get fuel to pump into the tank correctly. It's been a problem since i purchased the truck. I've taken it to many different gas stations thinking it was a gas pump issue. The pump handle clicks off when trying to fill the tank. It makes no difference how fast you try to fill the tank or how deep the nozzle is inserted into the tube. I had a…

I purchased my truck in august 2016. I noticed a vibration from 70-80 mph. Very noticeable in the steering wheel and more recently in the driver seat. It's been to the dealer twice. They picoscoped (service tool) to isolate the vibration. Performed lots of balancing, new tires, drive shaft, differential (ring & pinion). Vibration more noticeable than ever. But they claim it's within spec. They have a field service…

The paint on body of truck chips and scratches as well as has deep swirls. It is just now a year old and the front end, hood, sides all have been subjected to chips and scratches that should not be happening at all. I hand wash my vehicle so it is not caused by a car wash. The paint in other blogs with chevrolet has been known to be very faulty due to epa regulations. Any other car i have had has never had this…
