General Motors really needs to address their supplier quality .
Now the center caps on 3 out of 4 wheels are peeling .( $28.53 each $25.03 with my discount )
At first I thought I may have some how did it, or perhaps some scoundrel was trying to steal them .
I noticed two at first and ordered them . Yesterday when I was washing it. I noticed the 3rd .
Today when I went to pick the two I had ordered I went into the shop and asked the dealer . They then told me it is a "plating issue " and they would order two more and they will replace them all .
I understand that they have saved me the $50.00 but this is the 3rd supplier issue I have had in less than 9 months . Rust on the lift gate struts replaced twice ,pitting on the grill replaced twice also .Now the center caps .I am not happy .
Here are 3 pics
Update ,I just looked at the center caps on my wife's 2011 Malibu .
The center caps are fine ,however they are a polished chrome and the Equinox is more of a brushed chrome .
Most likely a different plating process or even a different supplier .
