man if it wasn't for bad luck you would have no luck at all ...lol ..first the wheels and now this....hmmm maybe a zl1 bumper now?

Did you buy the car new? Are you sure it was never bumped in the front. Even a minor bump could stress the fascia and bend or break supports behind it. It could take a while before the fascia reaches the breaking point and cracks.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I appreciate the support. Unfortunately I doubt Chevy will take the hit on this because my car is out of warranty.

Thanks!

I know right? The ZL1 bumper is what i'm going to get if Chevy doesn't cover this.

I did not buy the car new, however, it did only have 7,000 miles on it and did not appear to have any body damage whatsoever and had a clean carfax.

I have seen several with small cracks right at the corner lines around the headlights. There is a drag video somewhere of a shop car doing like 150 and the whole upper portion of the front fascia gave way and snapped off.

That's God telling you to slow down

vroomapunk · 09-19-2013, 01:10 PM

Not ur fault, its defective.

Evil-Bee-NH · 09-19-2013, 01:55 PM

I agree it's defective and even out of waaranty if it's proven to be defective i'm pretty sure they are required by some states not all to replace it.

Austin45 · 09-19-2013, 02:21 PM

Wow. That is definitely not your fault; however, since you're out of warranty, best of luck getting it covered.

CamaroSkooter · 09-19-2013, 03:55 PM

I can assure you this should not happen.

I can also assure you this is a bigger problem on Dodge Challengers than it is on Camaros.
