Owner-reported complaints naming the suspension system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Suspension reportsComplaints 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.

WITHIN A YEAR AFTER PURCHASING MY TRUCK I BEGAN NOTICING RUST EVERYWHERE ON THE FRAME AND UNDERBODY. EACH YEAR THE RUST PROGRESSED GETTING MORE SEVERE. YEAR 3 I HAD MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE AND A RECALL AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I SPOKE IN DETAIL WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT HOW BAD THE RUST ON THE UNDERBODY COMPONENTS AND FRAME WHERE AND CHECK FOR ANY RECALLS / BULLETINS. WELL LIKE THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OTHER 07-14 SILVERADO OWNERS I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T COVERED AND TO "SALT AWAY" OR OTHER MEASURES TO KEEP THE TRUCK FREE OF SALT DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. WHAT? YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING I THOUGHT. I EVEN SHOWED THE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS THAT COULD BE FOUND ACROSS THE INTERNET. UNFORTUNATELY HE WAS AWARE OF THE RUST PROBLEM, BUT HIS HANDS WERE TIED, AS GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR EXCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THEIR STEEL FRAMES AND METAL. UNLESS GM POSTS A RECALL OR BULLETIN REGARDING THE RUST ISSUE THE DEALERSHIPS HANDS ARE TIED. NOW AT YEAR 8 MY TRUCK LOOKS AS NEW AS THE DAY I BOUGHT IT WITH ONLY 68,000 MILES. SO AS LONG AS YOU DON'T LOOK UNDERNEATH! JUST 3 MONTHS AGO I HAD MY TRUCK IN TO HAVE MY BRAKES DONE. THE SAME SERVICE MANAGER WHOM I KNOW PERSONALLY CALLED TO INFORM ME MY TRUCK WAS READY FOR PICK-UP AND ASKED ME IF I ROUTINELY DRIVE MY TRUCK ON THE BEACH DUE TO HOW BAD THE RUST HAD ADVANCED ON THE FRAME AND ENTIRE UNDERBODY!! WHICH OF COURSE I DO NOT! SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS! AS I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW TRUCK AT TODAYS PRICES. NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO AFTER TAKING GREAT "SHOWROOM" CARE OF MY TRUCK. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO FRAMES AND/OR UNDERBODY COMPONENTS FAILING DURING OPERATION, CAUSING SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR EVEN WORSE, DEATH.
