New car trouble already
Took delivery of my '22 Camaro in March the car was in transit so it didn't have a chance for it sit on their lot longer than 12 hours. When I picked it up it still had all the wrapping paper still on it. I drove it back home and I noticed wireless Carplay would randomly disconnect, didn't think much of it. I ended up plugging a usb cable into my phone and that temporarily fixed it. I also noticed while on phone calls that the other person couldn't hear me.
I had to constantly keep leaning over the steering wheel towards the column for them to hear me better. Car did fine until May when I randomly get a notification on my phone from the app to service pretty much everything (Stabilitrak, Engine, Airbag, emissions, etc). After turning the car off and back on it went away. I scheduled a service appointment at a dealership close to me for my first oil change and took it in, told them what was going on with the message. They stated if the service message popped up again to notify them. The entire time I'm trying to figure out why people can't hear me from the driver side mic. I kept figuring it was either my phone or a setting I was missing. Tried troubleshooting for a month.
I ended up scheduling an appointment in June with my closest dealership about the mic. I notify them what was going on, they confirm it, and order a new mic. Drove car normally and it was fine until yesterday morning. I got up for work and tried to remote start through the app. The command wouldn't push so I figured it was my phone. I went to the car and tried to start it up and it wouldn't start. The battery while in accessories showed just under 14v. So, I jumped it and drove it to work and it was fine during the drive. Well, I went to leave work and start it...dead again. So I jumped it drove around for a little bit and went home.
This morning I got up to check the car again...dead again. I put it into accessories to check the battery level and it was a bit over 9v. I jumped it and it went right back to 14v. I took it out for an HOUR drive at highway speeds to charge the battery. On my drive home I noticed that every time I hit a bump in the road the rear view camera would flicker. I get home park in my garage and start recording. Before I could turn off the car a message popped up on the dash saying "Side Detection Temporarily Unavailable" but now there was a vibration or a shudder happening. I turned the car off and when I went to start it....dead but with a check engine light popping up. I have a tow on the way but this honestly disappointing because the last car I had was unreliable and had electrical problems. And I hate to go through the stress all over again of "will it turn over in the morning or will it need to be jumped.", "can I make it to work or will it die while I'm driving".
The kicker is I contacted the dealership I bought it from yesterday about another issue (non electrical) I was having. That dealership contacted GM and found out the car was built wrong from factory.
Has anyone had any problems like this with their car or is possible GM built lemon by mistake?
