13,000 Miles on 2012 V6 Rs

I had to take in my 2012 RS to the dealership because engine light was on and the stabil-track light was too. First they told me it was bad gas, continue to drive will clear up. After another tank from a different vendor, the same thing lights, hesitation and vibrations. It was really bad in stop and go traffic. I just now got off the phone with the dealership and they are now telling me that there are two other 2012 Camaros (all three are white) have the same problem. I was told that the valves on all three Camaros are gunked up, they all have about the same number of miles on them and the engines look like they are 100,000 + on them. WTH????!!!!!!

Oh greeeeaaattttt. My 2012 has 12,300 on it. I'm sick and tired of this crap with these turds having this buildup on the valves due to direct injection not spraying fuel on the valves to clean them and the two ways the oil mist and vapor gets into these engines. Via the PVC valve and the breather off of the drivers side valve cover that leads to the intake tube. Did you notice a big loss of oil from looking at the dipstick?

I apologize for the frustrations you may be experiencing with this issue. If you could please send me your first and last name, address, phone number, VIN, mileage and involved dealership, I would be able to contact your dealership for more information!

I look forward to your correspondence!
