Funny because I am usually the first to bash American cars as trash, scum of the earth , and just straight up poorly designed

LexFather

I hope they find a fix, I like the car....might sway some people to buy the auto and not the manual

I8ABMR

I ave to admit as much as I dont like american cars I thought this car was a good one to bring it back and it was done well. Or at least I thought so. GM will probably never ever gain my respect. I am thinking that the younger generation will be even more scared of buying American

Fizzboy7

I think I first saw the new Camaro some five years ago at an auto show. There is just no excuse for this. I want to like American, but...

LexFather

You know I want to love this car but this is insane.....look at the issues people are having!!

Ultimate Checklist for Dealership inspection B4 U pickup.

Can we get a master list going of all the things people found wrong with the car that QA missed? Let's keep the list down to just the facts. One of the more common issues found is loose bolts that hold back some type of fluid (ex: oil). I'll try and go through the posts and edit this post adding everyone's item making a master list people can print out to take with them and have checked out before they take the ride home. Should help everyone and I hope everyone can chime in here. Especially those that have their ride already and experience problems. Also, pls correct me if I have any mistakes in the list. Thanks.

Also note: This list is mainly a checklist for things wrong that a dealer can immediately fix. A broke transmission or bad driveshaft from dropping the hammer on this beast is something that they won't know until it actually happens. Thank you for submitting all your issues.

(Print this Excel or Word document so they have a checklist and the mechanic signs off on it.)

The list:

rofl at that list.

CAN YOU SAY CHEAP CRAP BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE UAW, THE GOVERNMENT, AND YOU THE TAXPAYER AND THE NEXT SEVERAL GENERATIONS

LexFather

I had a feeling you would chime in

Seems the car is built but disgruntled employees.....

Also if you read the site, the dealers selling them are taking full advantage of people..adding mark-up and all sorts of dealer add ons...

Pathetic.....

Mustang please..

Fizzboy7

WOW! That is eye-opening! The whole thing is just a sad sad situation for America.

mmarshall

Hey, at GM, they're all Government workers now. They HAVE to be lazy.

(Just Kidding)

Just history repeating itself. Remember what it was like a few years ago trying to buy the new retro Mustang, when it first came out? Same problems.

IS-SV

That list was a bit much.

Damn the car is actually produced in Oshawa CANADA!?!?!

What are you guys smoking up there ?

Faymester

Aw, that is unfortunate. I really wanted that car to work out for them.

I8ABMR

I dont like GM and I was still excited about this car. We need alternatives to the lame chargers and challengers. The challengers are horribly ugly and heavy

Lexmex

I've been wondering the same thing. Wonder if Obama will come out there personally to fix each and every one?
