You guys still haven't told me why my electronic power steering failed the day I took delivery of my car.

My painted one is fine so far, other than the guy that prepped it pushed toooooo hard with the buffer and there are burn marks on it. I haven't taken it back yet, afraid of them touching it again. I was supposed to get the ECF but they didn't get the allocation for it. I changed my mind because I wanted the car so bad. Now by the sounds of it that was a good decision. Owning the painted one, I still think the ECF looks better. Just my two cents though. Good luck and keep us posted.

This is exactly the kind of problems I was trying to explain in the other topic about CAFE standards. One of the treehumpers was insisting that cars would all switch over to carbon fiber to meet the new CAFE standards and laughed at me when I said that carbon fiber is very difficult to work with and would cause a lot of problems.

Maybe, but who looks at a ZL1 from 8 feet away, most of my spectators are close enough that when the drool falls from thier mouth, it lands on my car

I had the same problem also.
They had me send them pictures so they could forward the to GM. They ordered me a new one after I sent pics and now it is installed. The only thing that I did not like is that they implied that it may have happened after it left the dealership. My car has never seen anything but a car wash, I have never buffed it. The people that manufactured the insert must have buffed through the clear coat. All is well now. |

Sometimes you can expect things to happen like this, because at the end of the day, we all still own a GM vehicle......and the quality of worksmanship is not the greatest. But glad to see the issues are getting fixed.

Bunko. If you pay good money for the premium version of anything, and this is the best they can offer, it's NOT acceptable to me. There's been several involved with GM that said the ZL1 was the best Camaro yet. I would expect that to mean quality as well as performance. I realize this may or may not be a widespread issue, but then again, the convertible tops became a bigger issue that needed fixing than the original explanation of "this is normal". It's not about issues themselves as much as it is as to how it's handled by the manufacturer.

Unless you buy an exotic or a German high-end vehicle, quality will always be inconsistent. The dollar amount you pay is irrelevant. When will people grasp this?

In my opinion everyone is expecting to much out of Exposed Carbon Fibre. Every part is different with its own characteristics. If there are cracks and ridges present it is obviously a flaw, if it is purely cosmetic that is what you get in Carbon Fibre. If you do not like the characteristics I would suggest the painted version.

You want top quality? Go buy an Astin Martin. Otherwise, just get a better replacement part and live with it. GM quality will never be more than it has been. We keep hearing the same old stories yet TPTB will never change.
Nothing new, just move along! |
