It says look over the car carefully before taking delivery. This is something any new car buyer should do.
But 2 Questions. 1) Has anyone else come across this site and post? 2) Should it be believed? You can read the defects that are outlined on the cite. Sounds disbelievable to me! I'd like to know if any camaro owners have noticed any of these defects in their cars? And... are there any legitimate concerns you've noticed that would require warranty work. It may be too early to tell. Would appreciate responses to this thread.

Thank you,

All of those defects and problems did occur however not all at once, and most of them occurred only one time to one member. The list should have had on it occurrence of the issue as well as those issues fixed at the factory. Misalignment issues and loose bolts are the most common issues so far. Just check for those and you'll be fine.

AND, if you read the list, some are nit-picky at best. The issues that were major have been addressed and corrected by GM.

All cars have occasional issues (and I'm not saying there's no issues with Camaro's), but that's why the car has a warranty... and I'd love to hear all the "defects" owners are finding on other makes and models, because I'm sure there's just as many if not more.

The Camaro is a great car, don't let that "list" sway you in your decision.
Gm is still working on a few of the major issues though on the list. Like the Manual Transmission Output Shaft cracking. They know it is a Tremec issue but haven't told us anything more about it other than we will be notified if we are one that is affected. Also, the Slow L99 issue is still being looked into and is not a major problem as the Tremec however still an issue at large.
