2016 Tahoe faded paint on hood and top

[kdsimms]

In the last year, the paint on my hood and top has started to fade, fine scratches and a rough feel. I maintain my vehicles and have waxed my Tahoe at least once a year. Took it by a few body shops and one guy said there was a known issue with the paint on Tahoe. To fix, they will have to strip the entire hood and repaint and blend the fenders, at $2000. Another $2500 to do the top.

Anyone else experience this? I assume Chevy does not acknowledge an issue or motor company repair?

TIA

Someone was trying to put together a class action lawsuit, Google search should bring something up.

I had my hood repainted about 6 months ago for similar issue. Sucks.

It’s a 2016 Chevy won’t do anything for you unfortunately.

My roof is also faded and pretty weathered. I skipped that because it’s not as noticeable.

I got estimates to repaint the hood and top. I searched for any class action lawsuits. I may call Chevy to see what they say. Sounds like a very big problem, hence Chevy does not want to admit guilt.

pretty common for these, had the wifes done + the front part of the roof for $1200-1300 I think, was $1000 for the hood but then I asked how much more to blend the forward part of the roof in as well. cash talks......
