My first new car back in '64 (Ya I'm that old) was a satin silver 1964 Chev Impala SS convertable. With only a couple hundred miles on it, the driveshaft let loose on the Meadowbrook Pkwy on the way to Jones Beach on L.I. with my date. The State trooper who showed up happended to be the father of a H.S. friend which helped a lot. Turns out the 4 rear u-joint drive shaft bolts had not been tightened at the factory.
I sometimes laugh at the trivial complaints some here have about this new Camaro- You don't know what poor quality control is unless you lived and drove in the 60's and 70's.
