And btw, what would a systems engineer that writes documents know about mechanical tolerances and differences in metallurgy? |

I wish they would have given us some kind of time frame about when the cars on hold will be fixed.

My understanding is that they don't quite know what the problem is and what the fix is. Once they get that, they should be able to set up a time frame and will hopefully let everyone know.

What about the "VW Sludge" issue for 1.8Turbo vehicles throghout the mid 2000's. I know my B5.5 is in that range, and that VW will no longer cover the issues. Additionally, they have a known issue where Timing Belts break at 60K miles (yet vehicle maint. manual says replace at 100k miles NOT 60k), and any damage caused by the Timing Belt breaking is not covered under Warranty.
I would have NEVER known these issues if I was not part of ClubB5. Be careful what you wish for... if you want info, you come to an enthusiasts website, but you also get an information overload of good and bad. Trust me, these issues are small in comparison... because at least they are recognizing the issues and rectifying them. Before I broke out the pitch forks and torches, I'd wait until GM refuses to fix it, and gives you the bill for a broken shaft. THATS when you can call GM crap.

I would hope that if a recall isn't issued...that warranty repairs for this failure are 'easy' from a paperwork/approval standpoint.

Glad GM is doing the right thing and checking and double checking. We know they want to get it right, and we are very glad for that! My car is one of the ones that is built and on hold for this reason and I am going to wait patiently knowing that when I do get it I will have confidence that it was well made, quality assured, and ready for me to drive it like a muscle car should!

Thanks to Fbodfather for his post...I for one am very greatful for the free flowing information about problems with the Camaro. Most are simple fixes if you discover you have the problem (nuts on the spoiler, a pillar popping off, etc). Some are much more serious and are being dealt with swiftly. I am happy that GM is stepping up and being pro-active with repairs...and still honoring the warranty if you launch the car and it breaks. I am very pleased with my 2010 Camaro and GM!!!
