10k no issues. Change oil every 3-4k (Mobil 1 full synthetic). Changed differential fluid about 2k ago (Royal Purple). Will change tyranny fluid on the next oil change.

I haven't even gone in for the airbag TSB because the local dealer have horrible customer service...which is the reason I drove 3 hrs to purchase my Camaro.

I would think it would be right up your alley...after all you expect GM to re-engineer a TB that owners can't collectively say is an issue.

Is that what it takes for GM to admit there is a problem... 100% customer dissatisfaction?

I think GM should contract with VMax (or whomever) to provide the correctly designed and manufactured TBs and, after owner reported dissatisfaction is validated through TB testing, replace the original with a VMax one - free of charge.

Again, just my opinion - not speaking for every Camaro owner.

Torque converter issue...well documented with many drivers. Airbag issue...well documented and appears within a certain range of VINs.

TB issue, not well documented. Some would say it doesn't even exist. Not related to any specific range of VIN, not verifiable on a dyno, not specific to any year...too much lack of uniformity to warrant what you suggest.

Just my opinion BUT that's neither here nor there, we've gone down this road. It's best to agree to disagree on this one.

Good idea. I think that's the best we can hope for.

Had to take it back to have the passenger seat sensor recalibrated. Had the car for about 3 weeks at this point and it never worked. ( wouldnt arm the passenger side airbag) 10 min fix but still had to waste an hr at the dealer.

Onstar emailed me about a "hardware issue" with the Onstar system. They assisted with setting up an appointment, but the dealer never got to it.

Other than a weeping master cylinder cap and a free oil change, haven't had a reason to return to the dealer.

Two times. First time was for the TSB for my ''Vert top enhancements' (still getting the 'v' marks) and the second time was for bubble in the dash between the A/C vents and radio. (Still good after 2 weeks).

Car now has about 10.6K miles on it.

My dealership has been great so far......stay tuned.
