Typical body and structure symptoms owners report

  • Owners report the factory-applied Super White or Blizzard Pearl paint peeling or chipping around exterior door window frames, often compared to a recall program that does not cover the 2015 model year.
  • Some describe low-quality paint and clear coat that scratches easily down to the primer, showing marks from minor contact.
  • Others report water leaking into the passenger compartment during rain or wet snow, soaking wiring, seats, and floor near the door area.
  • A driver-side door reportedly made a loud squealing noise and let in moisture when wet, with the dealer unable to fix it after two repair attempts.
  • Owners describe whistling wind noise from door weather stripping at highway speed that the dealer diagnosed but did not repair.
  • One owner reported the truck frame rotting from the inside out, discovered only after coating had concealed the corrosion, and another described frame welds, leaf springs, and the driveshaft rusting despite regular cleaning.
