GM Needs to Step Up the Quality on 6th Gen
The types of quality issues I am hearing about on 5th Gen cars reminds me of cars built in the 60's and 70's.
Hood wrap missing from 1LE (how does that happen?) Three of one size tire, and fourth tire of different size (the people at the plant must be high) Trunk lids partially painted inside Wheels poorly painted, and no paint on inside of wheel Big gaps between door and dash on one side Gaps between bumper and headlights different side to side Uneven metallic paint Thin paint Specs and dirt in paint Front valence sticking out from fender Clutch chatter Driveline slop Missing fasteners Misaligned panels resulting in interference fit, and paint worn away Once everyone gets tired of this garbage assembly, they will move on to other makes of cars. People will only put up with this for so long. This isn't 1969. People have options. Get your act together or go bankrupt again. Michael |

Name one manufacturer who puts every car perfect off the line?
Not even Ferrari.

Seems like you took random issues of many different cars and crammed them into one thread. EVERY manufacturer has issues with their cars. That's part of why there are warranty's. If there is something wrong, take it back and have it fixed for free.
Do you even own a Camaro? I'm starting to suspect a troll.

On my 2011 I have found 1 speck in the paint. Very even paint with good match from nose to fender as well as bumper to rear fender. Interior panels match up very well and everything has worked flawlessly since I picked it up. So, my car must be a good one.
Out of close to 300,000 cars to have that short of list is pretty danged good in my world. These are still man made machines.

Every mass produced car can have these problems. This is normal stuff.
On a related note, trolls need to step up the quality of there trolling posts. They are getting old.

I agree with the original post. I am researching the Camaro to possible buy a new one after owning nothing but Japanese cars for a long time, and I do not like all the problems that I have seen on GM cars, including the Camaro. No car is perfect, but I did stop buying American cars for a very good reasons a long time ago. What he says has a lot of truth to it. I think a lot of people here don't want to admit that.
