CAMARO6 - View Single Post - 2018 2SS having some issues. Advice needed

Shipsterns · 06-18-2020, 06:01 PM

Hi guys this is my first post here. I own a 2018 Camaro 2SS that I bought brand new from Chevrolet of Cerritos in September 2018. Almost 2 years later and now the car has about 8,000 miles on it, and I take very good care of the cars paint. Since buying it the car has been plagued with a number of small issues, and has been into the dealership now 4 times for the same issue. My parents are convinced that the car is a lemon, and want me to try and get rid of it. I’m not really sure what to do at this point, as Im just tired of spending this much for a brand new car just to deal with issues all the time. Would appreciate any advice on what I should do from this point or if I’m just being too picky

ISSUES:
1. About a month in i noticed some discoloration on the front gloss black grill which ended up having to be replaced as all the black coloring was flaking off.
2. The center console lid was replaced as it clicks and pops sometimes when you rest your elbow on it. After it was supposedly replaced it will still sometimes make the noise if you rest your arm on it.
3. (Car has been in 4 times for this issue) The favorite buttons/ the skip forward or backward track buttons randomly stop working. All the other buttons on the wheel and the touch screen still work but the fav buttons will randomly not work. I use these buttons all the time for my music with apple CarPlay so it’s really annoying when they don’t work. Sometimes turning the car off and on again will fix it and other times it will not. Car was in to the dealership 3 times i think before my local dealership actually decided to replace the buttons on the steering wheel, and up until yesterday it had fixed the issue but yesterday it came back and I was able to bring it into the dealership and also record a video of the issue.
4. Vibrations in the cabin from the passenger sun visor and door cards. While driving on the highway if the road is not super smooth you will hear noises from the passenger sun visor unless it is flipped down. You will also hear vibrations from the door cards if the volume is set to anywhere near 50% and the song has some bass.
5. Clear coat seems to be failing in a small spot on the B pillar on the passenger side. Not really sure what is going on in this specific spot. With some quick research I found out that some of the 2018s apparently has some issue with paint but I’m not completely sure what to do.
