The Toledo facility is GM Powertrain which makes me believe this is relating to the transmission and/or torque converter issue I've seen mentioned on this forum. According to my dealer there is no time frame given for when this "quality hold" will be completed and my car will be delivered to me.

He also informed me that the private offer does not apply to the 2017 model Camaro. He provided the paperwork from GM which shows the Volt as the only 2017 model eligible.

I am very, very patient. I originally had no issues waiting for my car because that meant I would just have more money saved for a down payment. However now there are several other factors that make me want my vehicle now. I do not think I can wait much longer. I am leaning toward cancelling my order, making a few compromises, saving several thousand dollars, and going to find a 2016 vehicle on the lot somewhere near me (Rodger's Chevrolet, I'm sure).

I am trying not to stomp my feet and throw a temper tantrum, but I am quite frustrated. I recognize the necessity for the vehicle to be held and for it to be properly analyzed and fixed by the engineers responsible for the component in question. However, there is no compensation for the time that I am waiting and GM nor my dealer are required to be concerned. It seems as though it does not pay to order a brand new car.

Alternatively... I might go buy a Mustang 5.0.

Pretty sure that's where mine is. I know it's been pulled for a QC hold along with a bunch of others. But I'm a manual so the torque converter wouldn't apply.
