Dang, that is a lot of problems in six months of ownership. The future reliabilty of your car does not look good.

bmodell · 03-29-2012, 01:51 PM

I so want to love this car, but the build quality of these cars is sorely testing my patience. Ill be driving around another loaner car for a week.

Sounds like you are catching up to me. Good luck

OrangeVert · 03-29-2012, 02:59 PM

Wonder why some of our cars seem to have several issues and others have few or none.

Monday or Friday built car?

Four months and 4,000 miles on my 45th convert. Not one issue.

Sorry to hear about all these issues bmodell. I hope everything gets worked out for your. Let us know how things go with your dealer.

Jeff, thanks for taking an interest. I am really hoping that GM finally admits to some quality control issues on these Vert's and makes us owners whole again. My car will be in the shop until at least next tuesday as the dealer has to order the parts for the rear window motor and regulator, and once they get that installed and adjust the window, then they can take a look at the roof and the wind noise.

I was almost ready to go back to dealer and see what value I could get for the car, and just move on.

Sorry to hear about the problems, btu are you just going to live with the rub marks until they get worse? Or have you thrown in the towell with fixing at all? Becasue that is exactly what GM wants to happen. They want to either deny the problem exists, or put it off long enough that you'll give up. As I said in another thread, all this "letter coming out" "GM accepts responsibility" "there is a true fix coming" is all bullshit until seen. Keep in mind how they have lied to us so far.

I just got my car back from having the rub marks addressed. You know what GM said? The rub marks are normal and I should wash them off with soapy water!! Yup, deny deny deny. They are still there (as a matter of fact there are rub marks on one on the lot that was there). GM accepting responsibility? I think not. A perfect example of them trying to outlast their problem.

I hope you haven't given up on the rub marks.

bmodell · 03-30-2012, 02:35 PM

I haven't given up on the rub marks. But its the least of my worries. Right now, i would like to be able to keep my car out of the dealership for than a month at a time. The hardware issues and wind noise are my biggest concern. I can leave with the rub marks, until GM gets a solution in place. The rub marks on mine have been minor, and seem to go away when I wash the car.. at least for now..

I noticed that the TSB specifies Model: 2011 Camaro Convertible

Could it be that they will only do the TSB on 2011s and have not issued one for the 2012?

jsherm007 · 03-30-2012, 02:40 PM

Mine in today to, bought 1 month ago today. So far:

Blown slave cylinder
Brake fluid leak
Glove box not shutting properly (near driver side)
Two new front tires (defective originals)
Wobbly brake pedal (happened after I got car back first time, dealer caused I believe)

bmodell · 03-30-2012, 02:45 PM

I found out they just put a tsb out on the glovebox (according to the mechanic that tried to fix ours). We are waiting for parts to be made, lol.
