Is My 2024 K5 Already Falling Apart… Anyone Else?

I think it looks better with black instead of chrome. Might just take mine off.

Honestly, I thought the same when I got it. Black trim would be great… maybe it’s time to make that change .

Definitely looks better without the chrome.

I keep going back and forth on this… I actually might not even want the chrome now.

Yep, same thing happened to mine. I went to the dealer, and they just made sure I hadn’t done anything to it and covered it under warranty.

It took a week for them to find a replacement, but I actually kind of liked it without it after a while.

The dealer should replace it for free - it’s under recall.

This is really common with the 2024s. Both my 2024 GT and the K5 loaner I had while mine was being fixed had this problem.

One of the parts has been on backorder though, which is super annoying.

Ugh… that’s definitely annoying. Thanks for letting me know .

If it helps, we used 3M double-sided tape a few months back, and it’s holding up while we wait for the real fix.

Not perfect, but at least it keeps it from flying off on the highway.

That’s actually a great tip! Sadly, I have no idea where my chrome piece went… Just noticed yesterday it was gone.

I have one too, and honestly, way too many problems… I’m disappointed.

Yeah, no surprise here.

For a second, I thought this was a chrome delete mod. Looks exactly like one.

Maybe I should just go for that look! I kind of like it without the chrome, honestly.

Might as well… feels like a sign at this point.
