Shirley,
I know your post is old but what was the resolution to your Tahoe? My 2014 is doing the same thing and it only has 10K miles on it. When I went to the dealership today I got the same excuse - tree sap! I hate going to the dealership because they treat you like you are stupid!

 

Hi Clynn8407,

We truly apologize for this, and can understand how frustrating this may seem for you. This is certainly not the kind of impression we wanted with your new car, and we would be more than happy to look into this further for you.

Feel free to send us a private message with your VIN, current mileage, contact information and preferred dealership. We would be more than happy to reach out on your behalf.

Thank you Patsy - this information has been sent.

 

Same problem on my '07 Suburban. "Rust" spots which are "spreading" quickly only on the door trim, on all four doors. It's the end of 2016 now, has there been any resolution on this issue, besides spending hundreds of dollars?


Thanks.

 

I have seen this happen on chevy uplanders and pontiac montanas in the gold color aswell.

 

Seems just like the molding's basic paint/build quality

 

okay this is a Tahoe and suburban thread but I have a 04 silverado extended the moldings were changed in 07 at the origanal ones where forming bubbles in the sun gm Warentied and replaced them with the present ones which have now the same spots great garage topic with all my gearhead buddies seems there was likely raildust in the molds when the plastic wa being poured at it only seems to effect the top edge

 

Rusty door moldings on 2014 suburban champagne silver
I've noticed the issue on other years and models (tahoe). Mine is not as bad as others I've seen thinking about trying to send and paint.

 

Has there been any updated info on this? We have a 2007 Suburban that has the rust-looking spots all along the driver and passenger side moldings. Looks terrible. Rest of the car is fine with the paint holding up fairly well. I would love to rectify this, but can't seem to find a definitive answer on it. Can you purchase replacement moldings and install them yourself? Would they need to be painted, or do they come in the correct color already? There seems to be a weak response from Chevy, but that is nothing out of the ordinary. Ours would certainly be out of warranty, but it would be nice if there was a way to make it look better.

Any information would be appreciated!

 

Find a good trusted dealer, perhaps one you have purchased from before
