1LE quality hold Apr-May 2013

[h018871]

I may have been a bit premature in my celebration.
Got info from my dealer that mine just got assigned a rail car number, so still a ways away. Oh well, it will just be that much better when it does get here.

To placate myself, I bought the skip shift eliminator so I could at least touch a part of the car……………………..

Do you have photos of this posted somewhere?


And for everyone waiting the first turn of the key will make it ALL better.... everyone that has one LOVES the 1LE equipped SS!!

Finally.
My wife got a call from the dealer, finally (did I say that already??), car arrived this am. They have to clean it and add the tint, it will be ready for pick up tomorrow!

Sorry to gloat in front of those still waiting……………..IT HAS ARRIVED!


Unfortunate part is that I still have 3 more weeks before I get back home……….
I admit I’ll be happy to see the wife, but **MN, I’m ready for the car.


perma grin in place, and i haven't even driven it yet, good times ahead!

i honestly do not know what TPW my car is. it was due at the dealer 17Apr, so just over a month delay..............seemed a lot longer than that though

Wow, after reading this I guess I got lucky with my 1LE. it had a build date of 4/13/2013 and arrived at my local dealer 5 days ago, picked it up Saturday. I hope it gets better for you guys.

im not even gonna bother wasting my time checking anymore. its just making me even more upset and bitter each time it comes up bayed. was really looking forward to a better experience than this. oh well. maybe ill be happier not checking and having it just show up?

Hang in there! I am sure it will be worth it. Did your dealer give you something to drive?

On a side note, if it would have been my call, and not destroyed the plans for changing over to the 2014 model year, I would have simply re-built the 1LEs and ZL1s that were caught in this hold. There are plenty of folks with TPW later than mine that have their car. I believe GM has made some bad decisions here. The great car that we are all supposed to eventually get will spin us back around, but it was a bad move by GM.

Probably. My concern is these quality hold cars may be lemon's. I guess time will tell. Mine is bayed and this is a long time to be bayed. They have to be doing something to those cars.

I understand your frustrations with this delay circumstance. We definitely appreciate your patience and the patience of all our customers awaiting delivery. The Camaro ZL1 and 1LE are currently under a quality assessment review. The assessment involves looking at each ZL1 / 1LE unit still at Oshawa to ensure it meets our standards. After the assessment is completed, the units are sent off to the dealers.

Please understand, quality assessment does not necessarily mean there is an issue with any one or all the cars. It is the plant's opportunity to ensure the cars are meeting and exceeding the set standards before the unit is shipped to the dealer and ultimately delivered to the customer.

I hope this information helps.

Hi Reggie,

Thanks for the info but why couldn't the sales reps or GM customer "ambassadors" give me this information? The fact that I have to get the real answers from a fan forum is strange...

At any rate after 4 tries I finally chatted with a GM customer service rep who "confirmed" that the car was shipped last Monday May 20th (Wasn't that a holiday?) and that it is "on route". According to Google Maps Oshawa is only 4 hours from Montreal by train and by road. It is now 4 days later and still no car. I assume the train/truck has to stop to unload cars and that there's mountains of paperwork to do etc, but still.

GM, if you're reading this. You have a bazillion loyal customers who love your products. All we ask for is accurate delivery times, or at the very least, accurate and up to date information on delays. Come on...

Ordered 4-16 and and arrived at my dealer today 5-23.
