Problems found by new owners - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Maybe we should have a sticky thread where new owners of the Gen 5 Camaro can post their concerns about quality control of this car. Since it is a first year production model , it will provide a heads up for other owners as well as a feedback source for GM to make corrections or recalls if necessary. What do you guys think ?

It's a good idea in theory, but with the number of sensiless fanboys for either side, it really would put a damper on my day to have to scroll even farther down the forum to actually find a thread that isn't littered with garbage posts. I will respectfully disagree with your suggestion for now, although when the boards calm down, I think it's a great idea!

I think a stickie with known issues is a great ideal. It will save from seeing the same post over and over. I'm talking about justifiable issues like the one nineball posted with the front nose cracking. And glued on wheel weights on the brake calipers, nose paint not matching etc. Keep it to quality controll and not feed back post like I wish this was mounted here instead of there etc.

I agree with mindz, but it will be a good thread when the time comes.

Agreed. We have the consolidated complaint thread now, but this site is still maturing right now. We seem to like a bunch of teenagers who fly off the handle over nothing. In a little while it could become a valuable resource of problems, gripes, and quick fixes. But that will take a bit of time.

Yep, and the moderators can monitor the thread and delete the posts than don't belong.
I am sure at some point in the future they already have plans to do this.
We are a little early into right now.

Maybe as time goes by, how about a maintenace, detailing and a TSB thread. I have seen them work well on other sires. Also in coming months tire/wheel thread to show off your babies new shoes. Custom thread to show off exterior fashion mods and interior mods with a subsection for audio/video. Okay just an idea but I am sure that some of these have already been decided for the future.
