Anonymous, SK (2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ 5.3-L V8)"purchased in 2017 rust-free and it started rusting almost right away over the rear wheels and bottom of passenger door. Those spots are now severely rusted, because of that the truck looks a lot older than it is."
Anonymous, MN (2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 WT 5.3-L V8)"The rubber door seal at the bottom of the door frame is right where you drag your feet across it getting in or out. It developed a gap there allowing water into the gap. When I pulled it back it has got serious rust in there on the floor panel or rocker panel. Thats the only place I have any rust, it otherwise looks like a new truck."
Anonymous, OH (2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 5.3-L V8)"The rear wheel wells show rust bubbles after 10 years and less than 60000 miles. Vehicle has been garaged every day including thru wisconsin winters. I see this with almost every CHEVROLET or GM truck around the same age. Why?!?!?"

Anonymous, ON (2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 5.3-L V8)"Rust on wheel wells and under carriage"
Anonymous, IL (2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500)"Rust thru is happening on rear wheel wells. On upper edge of rear wheel well and looking at other trucks that are same age it is happening to all of them. Is a major design flaw that CHEVROLET should go good for ."

"The side panel on the drivers door started to peel back and one day it was just about off flopping in the wind driving down the street. I took it off and put is aside. Not the other side of the truck is starting to peel back. I checked on getting them retaped to the door and was told this was not possible. I would have to purchase new panels and then have them painted once attached to the vehicle. With the miles and the other problems it was not worth it. Just waiting for a time when I can trade it in for a better truck, not GM. I will say that overall the vehicle runs good and I would purchase another GM if it wasn't for the cheap tape and switches they are using."
