Agreed, very disappointing. The car was at the dealer Monday and they are not able to find the issue, they asked me to give it a few hundred more miles to break in. Not sure that will do anything but I agreed. I can see this becoming a big problem in which I will either get GM involved or be forced to move to a competitor.

Mine started to show the smell with only 1,200 - 1,500 miles. My odometer reads about 4,300 |

They actually said to give it a couple thousand miles more, I'll give it a couple hundred and see what happens, I have 1900 miles now. Sent from my 2SS/RS Last edited by nyrfan; 02-28-2013 at 07:01 AM. |

Playing with the fresh/recycle function today and seems to be only happening from the fresh air mode. I will continue to play with it to confirm.
I had a 2006 GTO LS2 with a minor oil leak that cause a smell. GM ended up replacing the engine claiming a porous block. I hope not to go there again! |

I had an appointment for tomorrow and while driving to my office today I couldn't reproduce the smell so I canceled it. Guess what happened driving home??? SMELL!

Well the smell is still there, and the dealer has not been able to fine the cause of it. Looks like I am going to have to get GM involved at some point.

Sorry to hear that. I went this week to dealer...nothing found. They made it sound like it was some what common and that I should wait to see if it burns off. Have about 950 miles will bring it back at 1500 if its still there. I want the new car smell!

There is a post in the ZL1 section of people having this smell and it turned out the rear main seal needed to be replaced. Either way this smell is killing my new car experience. Sent from my 2SS/RS |

Update, well not really much. My dealer is working to get a GM rep out to look at the car. Let’s hope this is the beginning of getting my issue (the smell) fixed. I will be sure to keep updating this thread.

Update:
I received some potentially not so good news. After speaking with GM they think it may be my rear main seal (as I feared), I feel like crying. How can I get 2 cars with oil issues /leaks? Anyway I am scared to ask and not sure that I want to know the answer but how big of a job is this? |
