I immediately took note of my odometer that is showing 35250 miles!!!!! luckily I work right next door to a chevy dealership that has the best service record in the area, so I popped over there and they were still open, I pointed out the mileage first and the service guy took not of it and made a service ticket out for it to be worked on on Thursday, Im gonna have him check out my heater fan blower noise while he is at it.
after 16 months of owning this car all I have is some bubbling up on the dash! NOT BAD! I am so impressed with the build quality of this car, so far it is one of the best built cars I have ever had! Im just glad I got it in to be fixed before the warranty ran out lol.

Lil'BlueCoupe,

Sorry to hear about your dashboard but I applaud you for getting the vehicle to the dealer. I'd love to follow the progress of the repair if you wouldn't mind. Could you private message me your VIN number and the name/location of the dealer you're working with?

Ya I drive the snot out of that car......but that's what I bought it for.
I am currently getting ready to move to Las Vegas and so my miles will drastically drop when I move. Really looking forward to it

Never seen or heard of another car bubbling after 16 months. The build is poor. My 1998 GST Eclipse had 119k miles on it when I traded it. It was also ten years old. Dash had no cracks, seats had no creases, and the only thing I ever replaced was the fuel pump at 90k miles.

Within two months, my halo headlights decided to go disco and color change on their own. Then, steering whir. Then paint is peeling under spoiler (yours is too, just look). That PISSES me off since I happen to LOVE the high rise spoiler, yet, can't get it without a repaint.

Well I now have an update, the dealership got the part in last week and yesterday i dropped her off in the morning(just a small walk back to my place of work) around lunch time they called me and let me know it was ready, I showed up and the key was in the car, and all is well, the dash looks awesome and I am happy(hope it lasts)
I gotta give thanks to Tri County Chevy service department in Royston GA, they took good care of me once again......now wonder they are rated best service department in the area. What really impresses me is the fact that this is a tiny dealership in a small rural town, when I bought my Camaro I had them try and do me a good deal, bu they came in way to high on the price so I was forced to go to Atlanta and get it from Rick Hendrick Chevy for a nice deal, Tri County Chevy had no animosity towards me, and in fact they congratulated me when I brought it by their service dept to have the interior light fixed the first week I had it, they treated me like a king there, and that says a lot for a dealership. The salesman said he didn't blame me for going elsewhere, they have no wiggle room on the price of there cars in a small town, and still congratulated me.

Lil'BlueCoupe,

I have a 2012 and am a firm believer in sun shades. I never exit the car without putting them up, even on a cloudy day. So no bubbling or cracking here. The dash still looks new. Like the service bulletin said, exposure to sun. It must cause the glue to release.

It was designed that way, as a throwback to every other generation. They're gonna stick to their heritage dammit.

Now That's funny
