"Good quality exterior with poor quality interior"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

After having my brand new truck for about a month, the first time I turned on the fog lights, they didn't work. If I play with the switch for a long time, sometimes they'll turn on. Sometimes they won't turn off. I assume it's a bad switch. I haven't gotten fixed yet.

General comments?

The interior is of poor quality, both the plastic and the cloth. Worst seat fabric I've ever had on a vehicle. Everything sticks to it. I can't even get all of the lint off with a shop vacuum. Can't get clean no matter how long I vacuum.

Plastic parts (doors, dash, back of seats, etc.) scratch up easily. Also, when these parts get dirt on them, I can't seem to wash it out. It leaves permanent marks. Just the bottom of kids' shoes scrape up the plastic on the back seat and smudge it all up. Looks horrible.

Definitely the poorest quality interior of any truck I've ever owned. I'm very disappointed, and as much as I hate leather, I might switch to that in my next truck because of the poor quality in my 2008 Sierra.

I am so sorry that you have such an inferior product. I have a 2008 Sierra SLE Extended cab I bought used and it has the finest looking interior I have ever seen in a truck, The back of my back seats are cloth covered and not a scuffing marking problem. It is an Extended cab, so it may be different. The interior is plastic a lot, but the appearance is very upscale. I love my truck. Too bad you cannot dwell on the good things about yours. Enjoy.

This doesn't surprise me at all. The new Chevy trucks look great from the outside, real good looking truck. But, as usual, Chevy couldn't build a decent interior. I've owned Chevy's before. Their interior's are the worst I've ever seen. The trim pieces fall off (actually had one of my speakers fall out of the door when I closed it, and no I didn't slam it.) Every bump you hit is emphasized through an orchestra of squeaks and rattles from the dashboard, and if you're wearing shorts and you've got cloth seats, prepare to get itchy.
