 Description of the problemMy 2014 chevy silverado has less than 36000 miles on it and has severe rust and corrosion issues throughout the entire frame. Metal is flaking off the flame in large pieces and support elements have significant rust inside and outside. The rest of the vehicle looks brand new. I contacted chevy and they told me it was a known issue and take it to the dealer. The dealer inspected it and said that since none of the corrosion or rust was not "through" meaning they could stick their finger through a hole, it was not covered. They offered to replace the frame at my cost. This is severe rust. It is not simple surface rust expected on vehicle. It is flaking off and would take significant labor to grind/brush and repair. The frame as it is now is a safety issue and i cringe every time i hit a pothole. I fear for my safety and for the safety of my occupants and fellow drivers if the frame were to collapse while driving due to poor construction and severe rust. I informed the dealership of this asking how flaking rust on the main frame and support members was not an issue and was told it was "minor" rust.
