   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. It is not safe to drive, it's an expensive problem to fix and very unfair the Chevy is not taking responsibility for it.

   Upon purchasing a New 2015 Silverado my factory paint started pealing around the rear doors approx. 1 year after owning the truck.

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…
