The people who believe the issue is because it's an "American" car and imports never have issues are the heart of the problem with the big 3. Honda has more recalls than any other maufacturer and toyota had to recall tacoma's because the frame would rot out.
These issues are growing pains of an entirely new model. If you didn't want to deal with taking your car to the dealer a few times in the first year you should have bought a 2011. Anybody can tell you that. |

I think this is a brilliant strategy by GM to weed out the wimps! Want to eliminate whining, "problem" type customers? Just issue a statement of some kind about anything and see who bails out....those are the people you now won't have to sit on the phone with for hours listening to their whining and moaning about every STUPID LITTLE THING they can find to claim the sky is falling.
"Stress" over ordering, waiting for your order?? Give me a break; my GOD we have a lot of total pansies nowadays. Stress is sitting in a waiting room for hours hoping and praying someone you love makes it out of surgery alive and okay. Stress is laying on the table being prepared for that surgery. Stress is being in combat. Stress is wondering moment to moment if you're going to survive in a life-threatening situation. Having to "wait" a few more days for your high performance luxury car? I'd be absolutely freaking ashamed to claim that was "stress". Sorry, this thread has been quite a stunner to wake up to this morning... mostly because of some of the comments and the outbreak of chicken little-itis. EVERY mass manufactured item has various issues along the way, especially one that's brand new and never been produced before. It happens... handle it. It isn't an "issue" until it can't be fixed or the manufacturer refuses to fix it; this isn't an issue. They're on it, they'll fix it. My car is supposed to go TWP on the 27th; do I want to see a delay? No of course not. Am I going to flop around on the floor, scream and whine if there is a delay? No of course not; I'll WAIT like an ADULT until they get this sorted out. </rant>

Standard procedure, and we haven't heard otherwise, yet.

Its amazing to me. The manual transmission has been around forever and such basic tech gets screwed up. Same crap with my 2007 Wrangler the clutch discs made a metallic grinding noise. With such a large recall at such a critical time I think its time to find a new transmission supplier.

Folks,
Very quickly, having just reviewed this thread quickly, I feel it allows me to see the issue pretty clearly, without getting into debating/responding to alot of the posts here. *GM/Chevrolet should be commended for addressing the issue immediately, and NOT choosing to ingore it, therefore allowing them to identify and correct this issue asap.* *Bashing GM/Chevrolet serves NO purpose. EVERY manufacturer has issue's. It's how they're handled which makes the difference. IMO, GM/Chevrolet is going above and beyond to rectify the problem.* While I understand and appreciate everyone's opinions/thoughts/passion when it comes to Camaro, let's be open minded and look at the BIG picture - GM/Chevrolet has given "us" an awesome car. Let's appreciate that while realizing we're all human. GM/Chevrolet has shown "us" the respect by bringing this "to light". Let's show the same respect by understanding. Ed |

Alright everybody I just got a call from my dealer!!!
What he told me came from a GM employee who called the plant in Oshawa and he said the only problem is with the short throw shifter!!! Nothing is wrong with the regular Manual shifter!!! So I hope Mods read this!! He wasnt lying it came straight from the plant!!!!! So there is no problem with the M6!! The only constraint there is, is on the Short Throw Shifter!!

Did he call it a constraint? If so...you two might have been talking about different things.:(
What Team Camaro is investigating right now is a Quality issue, not the short-throw shifter...we'll know more in detail soon. |
