Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE PAINT STARTED TO PEEL ON THE ROOF ABOUT 2 OR 3 YEARS AGO, HOWEVER, WE FELT WE WOULD WAIT TO REPAINT. THEN WE NOTICED THAT THE PAINT ON THE SIDE PANELS IN THE REAR ON BOTH DUALS IS PEELING. SO WE HAVE CALLED THE NUMBERS GIVEN HERE AND WROTE TO KURT RITTER GM GENERAL MANAGER. NO RESPONSE. THE ONLY THING WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IS THAT THIS TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY. TOO BAD FOR YOU.
