Possible 2014 SS Issues - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey everyone,
I've noticed a few things about my 2014 2SS that has me a little concerned. So... I figured I'd run this by you all and see what you think, heard, or experienced.

The first is a slight whistling noise when driving at speeds above 55mph. I have checked the windows and air vents and it continues. My wife sat in the passenger seat a few times, and she said it sounded normal, but this is not the normal wind sound at freeway speed. Has anyone else had any issues with a whistling sound, especially on the passenger side?

The second is my passenger mirror auto dimming feature. My rearview and driver side mirrors dim with no problems, but my passenger side does not dim at all. Is this normal for the passenger side to not dim?

The last is that when I switch my a/c to max a/c it does not kick on with recycle. I still have to manually switch on both the a/c and recycle myself. The a/c works well once it's on and going, so I will take it in after I return from my vacation at the end of the month.

If I'm remembering right only the drivers side mirror dims, so it's working correctly.

Recycle does not automatically come on in my 2011, never has.

The mirrors whistle at highway speeds. Both of my cars do this. Annoying, yes, but not a problem.

Max A/C does not kick on recycle automatically on my cars. I've never seen this as a problem.

I haven't noticed any whistling on mine, but I've only got 1100 miles on it so far.
The mirror situation is normal, I think. I guess I haven't noticed this on the SS really, but on the '03 CTS I had, it was the same as you described.
I'll have to check the A/C operation when it quits raining... I'm wondering if it does go to recirc, but not light the light for it? If the fan's roaring, it's doing it.

Whistle noise is from the mirror, mine does it sometimes.

Passenger mirror does not dim, never has on any 5th gen model.

A/C is normal, I have to do the same with mine and had to on my 2012 as well.

Thanks for the responses guys. however, I was under the impression that turning on max a/c meant the car would put it on a/c and recycle. Doesn't it defeat the purpose of having it if I have to turn on both anyways?

I don't buy new cars very often, but I've never had a car that did that.

BTW, my used 2014 Traverse doesn't do it either.
