2011 Camaro SS Rust
While washing my car yesterday I found a rust spot on the roof on the passenger side. Today I'm taking it back to my dealer, but I want them to know that this will be the second time my car has had a problem. This first time I had a coolant leak inside the car on the passenger side, which it took them 2 weeks to fix the problem. I'm getting really tired of these problems.

Your coolant leak was a HEATER CORE issue. I just had mine in for a week getting fixed also. There are a few of us on these forums that have had this issue. It's a big repair, as they have to remove the WINDSHIELD and the entire DASHBOARD to get to the heater core.
As for the RUST on the roof, are you sure it's not tree sap? Doesn't GM use galvanized steal on their body panels? |

Most likely it's metal flakes stuck to the surface from shipping by train. Invest in a clay bar kit, and learn how to use it. There's a whole section in the forum on this.

Cars are presumably durable goods that last for as long as you want them to--in a lot of cases, 10, 15 years or more, and racking up as many miles as it takes to get from here to the moon. As history has it with ANY auto manufacturer and ANY car model, the norm is to have a few issues within the first few years of ownership. As such, manufacturers have provided you with a warranty for such issues. To NOT expect a problem or two is almost ridiculous for any vehicle. And for those folks that say they've never had an issue with their car, I assure you, they're lying... Every car drives differently, and "nothing wrong" is highly subjective. I've literally had someone tell me "there's never been anything wrong with my car except the steering was fixed under warranty, and the dealer even gave me a $50 giftcard to say sorry because it was the manufacturer's fault".  I can assume he only counts "breaking down" as something being wrong with the car.My last words of wisdom and treachery - If you want help or resolution, post some dang pics. If we can't see it, we can't help you...I can already think of about 6 different things that can inadvertently land on your roof and create a spot that looks like rust that may not BE rust, and have nothing to do with Chevrolet, GM, or the fine folks that assembled your car: certain types of tree sap certain types of pollen leaks from overhead building pipes in garages iron dust from rail cars or heavy machinery vandalism by jilted lovers damage caused by the owner. Thank you, and enjoy your stay with the crew here at camaro5.com... git'n'er done evvarrryday! |

I would imagine living in Miami you're going to be dealing with issues from salt water, just like any other place that is near a beach.

Camaro Trent, let us know how it goes for you with your dealership. I hope it's something simple and you can get back to enjoying your vehicle.
