First off LOVE THE NEW orange Camaro!!! Flew down to Houston area to pick up. Couple things noticing off the bat that want to have dealer in my area look at and wonedering if fixable so advice needed.

First off when driving very smooth with issue and hums right along. However and not to be one of those guys that nit pics but I literally can close my eyes and could tell you when hitting 64, 65, 66, 67 and 68. Its as if the car is louder in the cockpit with a muffle sound. I can always pick it out at those speeds. Does that sound crazy or what?? Hit 70 or around lower 60 and seems to not be there?? ONly 29 miles on the car when picking up so wondering if Engine needs more breaking in or how to even explain that one to the dealer.

Ok next----Neon glowing lights on door. Not sure correct term yet since new here. On the driver sides seems to be perfect. Curves up toward gauges and then smoothly stops little from top. Howefer on passenger side not so...Curves up, but there is some black splothy stuff towards the top and does not end smoothly. Is that something the dealer can fix. Also when closing the passenger door it sometimes does not close all the way. Is that something with adjusting the latches to close and stay closed firmer.

Thanks just need to know what I should tell dealer and what to expect on not even having the car a day. Otherwise WHAT A MACHINE

Oh have the 2ss Rs inf orange inside and out

You just answered all your questions right. Give me other questions without you answering them ok? Congrats on your new Camaro.

I know its not possible in all cases but it's good advice to buy local.

Go to your nearest dealer and hope that they give good service. The warranty will cover any issues that are a problem.

Dealer plus warrantee equals

. Also it could be a good time to introduce yourself to a local dealer and let them no your not familiar with them but might are interested in seeing how they do so you can make judgement on future maintenance needs and purchases through them. If you start off on the right foot with them it will make future issues go smoother

Dark spots in your ABL probably can be cleaned out. Maybe something underneath.

Passenger door can be adjusted if needed.

First one is very odd. Is the radio off while you are noticing the change? It is a long shot but maybe you are noticing engine changes because the volume of the speed controlled radio is changing?

Doesn't matter where one bought the car, warranty work can be done by any Chevy dealer.

Sales and service guys don't cross communicate "customer loyalty" anyhow best I can tell. There is a tag in the cars history of selling dealer, but I've never gotten any better or worse service going to the selling dealer for warranty work.

Not sure how or what on the first issue...

Second one I think everyone has answered...take it to a dealer and have them adjust the door and look at the door lighting...both of these shoudl be an easy fix.

Once you got more miles on her maybe the first will work itself out for you...
