Camaro Falling Apart?????

[Ghost Rider]

Sell the car, take the loss on the price difference and order a new one. The shop time, two tone paint issue and heartache you'll save will will be worth the price difference.

I have a 2009 TSX with 13k miles and that was a redesign model for 2009.
Got it new and had it 14 months. I love the car but it's not a Camaro.

I had the radio stop working one day and they fixed it and that has been the only problem I ever had.

My point is they all have some little things here and there but let's not forget
when we compare to an other brand like a Toyota or Honda it's important to compare a performance car to performance car because they are known to have more issue's from any manufacture because of the extra stress on the parts.

So when you say but my Camry has not had any problems, that is really apples to oranges. I also had a first year Camry in the 90's and it had some mechanical failure. I forget if it was the rear end or exactly what it was.

A 370z or a Genesis coupe is a lot more fair all around.

Love my Camaro, but I must say, it doesn't have the best paint job out there...hopefully the issues get fixed and don't break your patience...else, like everyone is saying, lemon law it and find another one or something to your fancy

Good luck!

Well between their accelarator or mat sticking the gas pedal down problems...
They might not be the best one to compare...maybe Honda?

I don't know why you guys keep blaming GM for the bad paint jobs. They're doing the best they can with the only paint the Flat Earth Faked Moon Landing Solar Activity Deniers allow them to use!

If they dropped that silly Water Based paint things would be much better.

It is a reason top be upset and angry. I did not pay to draw the "short straw" and that comment is pure BS...bet if the straw was yours, you wouldn't be so peppy!

WELL SAID

Is anyone else sad because they feel like their Camaro is falling apart? I have been having multiple problems with mine. While, they all seem minor, they are adding up to me having to have my car in the shop what seems like twice a month.
I will list the things I have fixed and then list the things I am going to get fixed soon, as well as some things that I am not even sure they will fix. :o(
I brought my Camaro to the dealer to have the following done when it only had 4884 miles on it.
Left Rear tail lamp had so much water in it that I could have put goldfish in it..no kidding!
My Chevrolet emblems on the bottom of the door jams would not stay in place..they were peeling badly.
Driver’s side door speaker was rattling bad, so they reinstalled it basically.
The dealer also performed the recall listed as this “HVAC RPG, ENG HARNESS INSP, REAR SPO OPEN CAMPAIGN IN VIS” Performed Programming, code 992DA1
My tires were also not holding air, so I paid to put nitrogen in them and it seemed to do the trick..not sure how or why?
My steering wheel was never in alignment from day one, so I had to take it in to have them make it straight and realign the whole car to fix the steering wheel. I had this taken care of at 5000k miles because they forgot to do it at my first trip to the service department.
Now, I have the following, my car NEVER was the right color. It came two tone. The hood and fenders are a shade off of the car color. My car is RJT and I never noticed how bad it really was until I saw it on an overcast day. I have a friend who owns a body shop and all of his guys always comment on what a “crappy paint job my car has” That makes me feel wonderful. :o(
On the passenger side of the car, the bottom of the body is coming off., the passenger side material under the front wheel well is coming off…that’s right it is hanging down. :o(
There is a clunking sound in my truck that sounds like a loose bolt when you open and close it.
That is all I have for now, I am very sad..I have a lemon.
We bought an Equinox and a Chevrolet Suburban before this, and have never really had a problem. If I could get my money back I would. If you spend 40k on a car, it seems a bit much to have to bring it in every couple of weeks. To top it off, they no longer give rentals; instead you have to travel around in their van. Have you ever tried that with two kids in car seats? (yes I am a mom with child seats in my camaro)
I honestly think this will be the last GM car we purchase. I really love GM’s new slogan, “MAY THE BEST CAR WIN” Chevy, I must say this YOU LOSE! Or maybe I lose, I am the one stuck with a lemon.
I guess I am just really sad, because I have been watching this car forever. GM said they took three years to develop it because they wanted it to be bug less. I like the car and the concept, just hate the issue and the constant feeling that it is going to fall apart while I go down the road!
Does anyone know how long I have for a lemon? What is the time frame for lemon law?
Sorry to ramble…sad and frustrated, I should have bought the Subaru STI that my husband wanted, but no…I wanted the American Muscle Car…the one put together with duct tape.

maybe you can call the 1-800 GM no help line,(not making fun), maybe they can help, this is typical big three some good some bad. If anyone thinks GM has come back stronger and better, with new quality, this ladies problem car is a prime example of the 1979 mentality that got GM into the mess they are in now, and i see the proud tradition continues, I am very sorry for your problems, i do think you have to go further up the food chain, good luck

Yep, they basically told me they wouldn't touch it either. Unless mine has any major problems I will keep it forever. However once it's paid off I will be taking it to a custom paint shop and have the entire car redone properly. This sux because all it really needs is to have the clearcoat redone.

I still love the car though and I hate the thought of taking it to the dealership to fix anything .. I'm sure they will f*ck the car up even more.

I have the same fears!

Aren't all manufactures in the same boat? It's not like just GM has to use it.
