I really hope that issues like this get posted for every component failure that occurs from every production Camaro. Why? Because it reinforces your argument if your fascia crack 3 years from now and the dealer tries to deny warrany.

As other have stated, this is not a 155 issue, but a component fatigue issue. As much as GM monitors this site, I am sure that they are already aware of the issue.

To my fellow Camaro pre-order enthusiasts, I would just recommend that you keep a keen eye on this area of your car. I know I will be.

Agreed. My personal opinion is that the driver ended up hitting something and it cracked the facia. He was so embarrassed that he didn't want to admit it. However, the driver probably didn't think something like this would have developed from the lie. Seriously....look at the crack. I believe (and I'm no engineer, here....) that if the crack developed from wind resistance, the crack would NOT be as open while it is sitting still. It appears as though the front bumper is not out of place. I highly doubt wind would do that to something bolted down like that. If it did....so be it. GM will fix the issue.

I remember being one of the early C6 Corvette owners in 2005. The first time someone reported their roof flying off at highway speeds, several people told that guy to quit bitching, and that it was an isolated case. Some even laughed and said he must have done something to damage his car. Now, 100s of flying roofs later, it isn't so funny or isolated. Just keep that in mind. I guarantee the C6 Corvette also had plenty of wind tunnel and high-speed tests prior to a roof flying off. Not all problems are solved on the engineering side of things. It is important to understand that this destructive failure is POSSIBLE, it is not a guarantee it will happen. We shall see if others find the problem in time.

Whatever the issue is, it will be fixed.
I thank you VERY much for posting the pix. My opinion...which will not change until clarification....someone hit something.

And no more unnecessary complaining either. I swear, after page two, I was ready to delete 20 or so posts....random complaining....freakin ridiculous!
