Chevrolet Equinox paint peeling and lifting on both sides above doors and along back end on Chevrolet Equinox

Some Chevrolet Equinox owners report experiencing paint peeling and lifting issues, particularly above the passenger doors and along the back end, with some cases exposing bare metal. These problems have been noted across various models, including the 2008 and 2018 Equinox. Many owners have contacted Chevrolet for assistance, only to find that their warranties had expired and no recalls were issued for this concern. As a result, those with expired warranties often resort to DIY solutions such as rust converter, primer, and touch-up paint. Additionally, peeling paint has been observed on the wheel wells, suggesting a broader issue with paint quality in certain Equinox models. Furthermore, some early build models reportedly lack effective rust prevention fixes for the sides and bottom of the doors, raising concerns about water drainage and long-term durability. If you are facing similar paint issues, it may be advisable to reach out to Chevrolet for potential guidance or solutions.
