I was already half way through the sales process when I was told of the recall. I also had waited over two months for this car and had just negotiated my trade in. I decided to continue the purchase.

Lame repair for a lame recall reason, fits it well. And i guess "screw camaro owners". Specially new owners who wont get to choose to keep their keyblades.

And that's why I've bought a spare switchblade that I'm going to get cut.

Wish we new owners could say the same, but we are taken delivery with the messed up fobs. Some guys from this post

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...363441&page=75

are providing some good alternatives to avoid an ugly looking fob, and some either said they got the keyblade by signing some waiver form.

I'll talk to my dealer tomorrow and request to get my car with normal keyblade.

On a completely unrelated subject, and i apologise in advance but i'm very intrigued by this; can you cancel dealer add ons after signing? I signed on tuesday and i don't think i need extended warranty and interior protection and some more.

In would think you can get out of the extras depending on the state you live if you haven't taken possession of the car yet. They always get you with the extra warranty .I think that's how they make money on new cars. When I got mine few months back there was $2k cash back and the dealer didn't want to give that to me. They thought I didn't know about it or something. Anyhow , if you fight them you can get out of anything.

“There is a risk, under certain conditions, that some drivers may bump the ignition key with their knee and unintentionally move the key away from the “run” position. If this occurs, engine power, and power braking will be affected and power steering may be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.

If the customer still refuses, provide the customer with a copy of the “Notice to Customer” document contained in this bulletin. Record “customer declined recall repair” on the repair order and, if possible, have the customer sign the repair order. Retain this repair order at the dealership.

And here is the copy of the notice:

REPRODUCE LOCALLY - PROVIDE TO CUSTOMERS WHO REFUSE RECALL REPAIR
Notice to Customer
General Motors released this safety recall in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act because a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in your vehicle.
It was implemented to address the potential consequences of that some drivers may bump the ignition key with their knee and unintentionally move the key away from the “run” position. If this occurs, engine power and power braking will be affected and the power steering may be affected, increasing the risk of a crash. The timing of the key movement out of the “run” position, relative to the activation of the sensing algorithm of the crash event, may result in the airbags not deploying, increasing the potential for occupant injury in certain kinds of crashes.
Even though you have declined to have this safety recall performed on your vehicle, please be advised that if you change your mind, your GM dealer will always be available to complete recall 14294 in accordance to the recall notification letter.
As part of this declination process, your dealer will ask you to document your refusal to have Safety Recall 14294 performed on your vehicle by signing a Repair Order stating “customer declined recall repair”. You will be given a copy of this document for your records. Of course, your signature is voluntary but doing so will help prevent the mailing of recall reminder notices to you as the current owner of record.
If you sell this vehicle, you should advise the buyer that this safety recall was not performed on the vehicle and that the recall repair is still available. This notice should also be placed in the glove box so that a future owner of this vehicle will be aware of this safety recall.

Thank you i will tell them i don't want the extras anymore, after all the worse thing that can happen is that we don't agree and end up in bad terms and cancel the deal haha.
And regarding the change in the key, i'm hoping they haven't cut the original key from the original fob yet, i might still be able to keep the keyblade.

Picking up car today. Have to sign waiver saying I am aware of recall. Then I can drive it off lot. Very excited first new Camaro since 1992.

Allstar_2SS_14 · 06-27-2014, 02:47 PM

Alfred15 · 06-28-2014, 12:25 PM

Dealer won't release my car, we're on the way over to get our money back. Moving on to our seconod choice, Jeep Cherokee Limited. Just as nice, just a different ride.

but you don't have the car,and you cant bitch if you knew this when putting money down.

Wow! Quite a difference in choice there. Personally I wouldn't let one dealer change my mind on a car selection. Drove near 200 miles one way to get the one we wanted and it was well worth it. Not only got the exact trim level we were looking for but at the best price out the door. Good luck with your final decision.

Ernest T · 07-01-2014, 08:34 AM

We picked up our Jeep about an hour after cancelling the deal for the Camaro. I'll miss having the Camaro, but it's the wife's car and she said she was getting a "bad" feeling over the whole recall thing. I'd have felt way worse about it if we were getting a V8

! In reality I think the Cherokee is a better vehicle for her anyway.

BTW, we put down a deposit late on Saturday, June 13th fully expecting to pick up the car on Monday, June 16th. At first we were told it would only be a couple day delay and then it just kept going on and on. The dealer didn't put up any fight when we told them we wanted to cancel. I expected they would ask for a couple more days, but they didn't. I respect that, but they really never offered to get us concrete information about when we would take delivery.

Maybe we'll get one later.
