CAMARO6 - View Single Post - Love the car, but hands down least reliable car I've ever owned

I know I'm opening a can of worms by saying this, but maybe it was a mistake to bring manufacturing back state-side to Lansing. Have other cars built at this plant had as many problems? While bringing the workforce back to America sounds good on paper, the U.S. hasn't been a major manufacturing power for a while now. A lot of this has to do with labor unions and demands for higher pay. Our strength is mainly IT at this point.

When the 5th gen was being manufacturing in Ontario in its first year, it had some problems understandable for a new car, but I don't think it was quite so extreme.

Over 50% of 6th gen owners claim to have taken their car to the shop for serious issues according to some polls, although that data could be skewed on these forums.
