Mileage 2017 and 2018's Check in - Page 2

Revalot · 09-03-2022, 02:57 PM

Purchased a 2018 M6 with 2700 miles, car has CAI, borla attack mufflers, noticed a service bulletin on the wire harness by the battery, took the car in and as I was talking to a service manager, the guys inside mouths got watery ready to drive it. I went home and repaired it myself, door camaro plate on driver is peeling slightly, I will fix it. Almost 26k on her now, orginal oil pump, maybe a 2650 supercharger and cam/katech oil pump once she's paid off.

I'm with you on the battery. I believe mine is OEM and is still doing a great job. But, I do have an Odyssey on deck and ready to go.

I bought my 2017 ZL1 in March 2019 low mileage used 425 miles and no issues yet with anything and the only mod is a RotoFab intake. It has around 23,000 as of today.

Nope, it has a Katech now. Made sense to do that with the built engine. I did have an OEM until recently though.

My 2018 had about 3400 miles I think when traded it in summer of 19. Never had any problems.

2017 has 32,000 miles on it now. I bought it with 28K and it's been a fantastic platform ever since.

I bought it with a lower pulley, deleted secondaries, a Borla ATAK X-Pipe and a tune (a craptastic one, so that was one of the first orders of business to get corrected). Ever since then I've swapped out the plugs to HR7 Rutheniums, replaced the plug wires with stainless core Granatellis, replaced the exhaust from the axles rearward with a custom AFe/ Black Widow NPP setup, added an external LTR reservoir, gotten the tune cleaned up and replaced the intake filter with a drop in AEM panel filter.

I noticed that the issue I took it in for was fixed but noticed that the 1-2 shift seemed a little different, didn’t think much of it because the initial issue was fixed and 1-2 wasn’t noticeable. Couple weeks go by and I just noticed that 1-2 upshift just didn’t want to act right so now they have it back. Needless to say when I get it back I’m going to take it out myself for a decent test drive and if anything’s wrong it goes right back for a 3rd time. I know sometimes the 3-4 shift has a little buck under heavy acceleration but that is not either of these issues. Haven’t heard anything back from tech, dropped her off 2 weeks ago Monday for the 2nd time. They said it would be 2 weeks before anyone looked at it

I hope it all goes well. Keep us posted.
I also got the extended warranty

Did you check the warranty work on the car to see if oil pump was changed?

2018 ZLE 5800 miles. Amazing car, had headliner replaced under warranty for edges curling. Runs like a beast.

You guys with zero problem are either all ultra lucky or you're forgetting/hiding (presumably minor) issues

Except for battery, no warranty work or problems. It's 5 years old and cosmetically, fit and finish, no problems. Granted, I have low miles but after 5 years, I'm hoping for the best. I'm not hiding anything. Just trying to see if others have had issues. It's a way for us in the Camaro 6 site to keep each other informed. In fact, at Camaro Nationals in July, the car was rated "Gold" in the "Heartbeat" class. I talked to others there with Gen 6 cars and they also seemed content.

That's fantastic, I didn't mean to imply anything, it's just that this is still a GM car after all, so absolutely zero flaws is kinda surprising

I absolutely love and am enjoying my car as well, no complaints at all, the very few issues that came up have been fixed.
