2010 problems?

I know its usually a bad idea to buy the first year out, but are there problems with the 2010s one should be aware of? Like in 1998, they're PCMs SUCKED for tuning and some small things.

The thing about the Camaro is that it sat in preproduction for so long, there really aren't any big issues.
The LS engine platform is solid as a rock.
The cars just work.

Yes, you can improve on them, but stock, they're very good vehicles...

If you drive it like it was built to be, and you are running a manual beware of clutch issues with the fluid. This has been an issue for years and remains an issue yet !!

3 years and 60k later my only issue with my Camaro was a burnt out passenger side turn signal, and my drivers leather seat cover was replaced the strap for the seat belt holder started to tear.

Other than that not a single thing

I've got an early 2010 and the only problem I've had is the heated seats. Susposedly some of the early LS3 manuals didn't have the transmission output shaft heat treated properly, but I drive mine pretty hard and I've no problems.
