Your noise is NOT a sticker label.

But the rest is possible. Mine is bad enough to move the shaft up and down with your hand. I gaurantee yours is too. You might want to get under it and verify that though.

But, yes, that seems to match your issue but I wouldn't describe it as a chirp. It's more like a clunk.

Let us know if the contact info you got from GM Support is helpful to you.


Propshaft and driveshaft are the same thing.

[lebadduv]

Yes it is clear that it can not be a sticker. Tomorrow I place myself under the car and I'll see if it moves up and down. I also take contact and I'll keep you posted.

Now I will sleep here it is late

thank you for your help

PQ's thread has gone international
GM Jeff is on top of it

Yes


in Europe it is difficult to find information about the camaro. chevrolet here only sells small car models. They are more used to the small four-cylinder V8 that.

I have already cycled through the site and although it is true that you can find a lot of information and people to help us

[lebadduv]

We inform you that guarantee Americans imported vehicles in private is not valid in Europe. GM can not handle some of the costs.

Here is the response of GM Europe so plain in Europe if you buy an American car we are not covered under warranty.

I do not think it's normal, a default is a default even if the car is outside the country of origin.

Apparently the GM politque service is different in Europe. Here you buy your car abroad you'll get by.



I must say that I'm really disappointed in the provision of GM, a large group that refuses to deal with a broken piece especially the camaro will be sold here soon so the room should be available for exchange.

[mikepage0007]

i agree, warranty is warranty..even if it is environment issue..at least have warranty and decide after inspection..

So you have to wait?

When will the Camaro be sold there regularly?

You imported the car yourself?

I have had my car to the dealer and handed them that chirp click bulletin. "Could not duplicate"

There is a chance that my erratic bird chirp noise is not this issue. But I am pretty certain it is...and will get worse enough that the dealer will have to do something

You can only hear mine if you roll down the drivers window a couple of inches and drive about 35 MPH...erratic chirp/plastic toy whistle sound..short in length and erratically spaced 1/2 sec to 3 sec apart

Does the chirp interval speed up and slow down with vehicle speed?

[f5journal]

Yes..in a way...it only does it in a range of speed..like 25-45..after that it seems go away. I think the bearing is ok until 25...then starts slipping erratically then either quits or slips constantly. Just my opinion of whats going on.

[f5journal]

I think I have another noise that may be related. M6 manual...pull it hard to say 5000...the moment you let off the torque to the driveshaft to shift, there is a little screech noise
