after 41,000 miles - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am about to hit 42,000 miles on my 2SS M6. I figured I would share my problem list with you guys and see if there are fixes. I know about some of the problems that I have read about here but some I haven't. Most of these issues have been fixed.

Note: Mine was #1691 so alot of these issues may have been ironed out in later models.

Fixed Problems:
1. Spoiler bolts loose - (used lock nuts from Lowes)
2. FP Brake rotor groove - after about 5000 miles it dissappeared
3. A-pillar trim hanging loose - (new clip)
4. USB and AUX not sending signal - (new PDIM... took 6 months to get the part)
5. Muffler baffle buzzing - (got magnaflows)
6. RD Tire sensor not responding to reset after tire change- Dealer reprogrammed TPMS system (charged me $73)
7. Front and Rear GFX trim hanging loose - dealer fixed with bolts and new DS tape after 6 months of complaining

Still looking for a fix:
8. No alarm chime when I leave the lights on (halos or HIDs)- still looking for a fix (every now and then it works... ~5% of the time..... when I took it to the dealer, it worked.
9. Spedometer needle sits at zero when driving - intermittant
10. DS door panel rattles when music has alot of bass
11. USB won't remember my preferences (random, last track played)

any ideas for the stuff that is needing a fix?

any comments on the stuff that is fixed?

42000 miles OMG I am sitting at 6600, lol Speedo might need a new cluster, I remember something about the dial indicators being put on too tight on the first once.

The alarm chime seem like a loose wire.

I took delivery on 7-1-09. (a little over 14,000 miles) Had none of the problems you mention except for the spoiler nuts.
I beleive there's a TSB for #9, speedometer needle sticking.

I usually drive with my halos on... but I forget to turn them off unless it is dark outside.
