I wish I could just take a picture of my 2014 Chevy ALL exposed body fasteners were rusted. The bed rails were rusted where the seam is on the inside. All the steel under the hood looked like a 30year old C10, the chrome bumpers had started to rust at the edges, the aluminum wheels had started to corrode, all at less than 5,000miles. I cleaned the bed rails and had a spray in bed liner. I gave up on the body fasteners. It was supposed to have the rubberized undercoat, but underneath it looked like I lived in the great white north, the drivetrain looked 30years old with the rust on it, The bumpers were replaced on my insurance when someone rear ended me,(added a comp claim to the deal), the rest is gone to some poor sap that CarMax sells it to.
This was basically a mall crawler it got used off-road when it needed to (Pioneer is main off-road vehicle) and spent sometime in 4WD when I needed it but it was a crew used primarily for towing and hauling.
Chevy accused me of traveling to where salt was prevalent, I said I had never been north of TN with it, their response was that “exposure humid salt laden Gulf coast air could cause metal to corrode and is not covered by warranty”
All of the guys at the office have all ditched their GMs in favor of Ford, Toyota, and Dodge in that order (the Rams are both 3500 DRW, the rest are 150 class trucks) I’m calling BS on Gov Motors , the rest y’all can argue about but after my last decade of experience with GM, Acura, and Ford; you can’t convince me GM is anything other that a General POS.
