i have had no problem with mine.

FenwickHockey65 · 01-30-2012, 06:56 AM

No problem with the Malibu's.

Do you have road salt in PA?

There is no way salt would do that to a 2011. And trust me, I have lived in MN my whole life and know about salt... LOL.

OP: Yes that is ridiculous. It wouldn't be okay on an AVEO, let alone a 50k tahoe.

hot_rod · 01-30-2012, 02:21 PM

+1 agreed

You have a valid point. It is ridiculous, particularly in the light of the price you list of $68.

JJ#48Racing · 01-30-2012, 02:49 PM

Wrap it in vinyl.

ffrcobra_65 · 01-30-2012, 05:34 PM

Chumlee will buy it from you.

King Sun · 01-30-2012, 08:04 PM

its a problem no doubt but I think you're taking this way to seriously.

ShnOmac · 01-30-2012, 08:28 PM

Never had the problem on any of my Chevy vehicles.

2010SLVRBULIT · 01-30-2012, 08:32 PM

to get you to buy another, it's called supply/demand.

Huggerorange73 · 01-30-2012, 08:57 PM

Clearly the simulations GM ran on badge life were off....

Keep the faith Jamie.

IBM · 02-01-2012, 03:16 PM

My mom's 11 Tahoe did just that same thing, except twice as bad. She told the dealer and they replaced it with no charge. They told her it's been a problem with newer Tahoes.

Jesus. Can't you get a low end escalade for 65k? I know you can get a Denali for that. I must admit that SUV pricing is not something I keep up on.

My wife is the other way around. She could drive anything up to around 45k or so, and she picks a Cruze.... LOL

KXRM · 02-02-2012, 12:42 AM

That is pretty bad, the engine would fall out of a 90s Taurus before the emblem would degrade. Of course it only took 4 years for said engine to fall out. :p

*mlee* · 02-02-2012, 01:10 AM

Dang.. I'm going to go take a look at mine now... I have the exact same Tahoe in Granite Black that you do and mine is a 10

This is not Tahoe specific. Take a walk through a mall parking lot and look at bowties.

I've seen plenty of really bad looking bowties on newer vehicles.

That being said, the Ford emblem on my dad's 2009 F-250 is peeling and falling apart and I think it's hilarious.

I know it's on Suburbans, Silverados, etc. but I know they've improved with the new bowties like we have on the Camaro.

nomadicdogg · 02-06-2012, 11:25 PM

Silverado did the same thing. they will warranty it. bad manufacturer. They no longer use that manufacturer

IBM · 02-07-2012, 10:18 AM

Come to think of it, my brother's HHR SS did this too, but we blacked them out. Problem solved

Overflow · 02-07-2012, 04:23 PM

After reading the entire thread, I say go get the bowtie fixed.

Shu71 · 02-07-2012, 04:57 PM

My Silverado and about 99% of them around here that are more than 3 or 4 years old all look like that. It's a piss poor design by GM which allows moisture in from the backside. Tons of trucks with vinyl stickers on their bowties because of this very reason. I haven't paid attention to see if other models do the same thing though but the gold ones really stand out. If my Camaro does this, I will take it to the dealer and get GM to pay for it. And yes the one for my 2005 Silverado was $58 so your 04 would be the same.
