Hey Guys,
Just got me a new 2019 Camaro LT1 V6 i have 2,000mil on it now, I have had it for about 6 weeks now. About a week after i got it,I was going home from work and drove in some windy weather and holy crap! it was blowing me allover the place,driving in the wind is nothing new, so the next morning i checked the air psi in all the tires and i made some adjustments so they are all at 32psi like it calls for. so next time in the wind man same thing, something dont seem right.
The car i got rid of had 210,000 miles on it and did not drive this bad.Its like when you have a bad balljoint are a bad set of tires, I did a brake test. letting go of the wheel and hit the brakes and it stops nice and straight. So i was seeing if anyone else is having this problem before i take it back to the dealer.
Thanks for your time and help.

Your car is broke. Mine is an SS and have been in wind storms and she was nice a steady. But V6 should be just as steady and track straight.

Sounds odd. I am in Southern California and driven in our Santa Ana winds with side gusts of 60mph winds without any problems. ??

I would think it would track straight ,It will go from one side of the lane to the other without me moving the wheel,It is just crazy what it will do in the wind.
Thanks for your reply.

COOL, I get it moving around some but this is nuts.
I will set up an appointment to get it looked at.
Thank for your reply.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the LT1 a V8 and 1LT a trim level. I have a 2LT with a V6 and I have no problems driving in high winds. I drive a panel van so when you say wind is an issue I cannot relate.

my 2015 RS liked to wander a bit.had it aligned when i replaced the OEM tires and it tracks like an arrow now.perhaps your alignment is out just a little?with 2,000 miles on it id explain to the dealer whats going on and ask him to check the alignment for you.

Well took my car into the dealer today and the service writer told me that it’s normal and a common problems with the Camaro, because it don’t drive in the grooves in the road because it’s skinnier than the grooves in the road .I told him no I don’t think that’s it and that I would like it put on the alignment rack . So he called me a couple hours later said the car is ready to go and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, it is perfect .I told him I would like to get the alignment print out . I Showed up and talk to the service writer and We went to cashier and there was file she had with what looked like probably six pieces of paper in it, he dug through the paper and pulled out the alignment sheet and gave it to me and everything looks good . He told me he had a mechanic go through the whole car check all nuts and bolts checked the tires and everything was good. he said he had the mechanic drive another Camaro and mine drives just like it . So I took the car back to work witch is a 40mph road the car seemed the same as it did before at that speed. So heading home the wind was ripping again today and my car drove completely different like a new car . didn’t dart all over the place the steering wheel is nice and firm, the car is solid now. I don’t get it, they obviously did something to the car . The paper work I received don’t state any of my complaints about the car, it only says “a free alignment” . I thought they posted the complaint on the receipt and what they found wrong ? Well the car is fixed now, so that’s a good thing. Thanks again to all that had some input.

So they fixed it just by doing an alignment? Would have thought something was loose in the suspension.

They said they did "NOTHING" to the car. Something was done,it drives really good now. I just dont get why they wouldn't tell me?

Because something was probably dangerously wrong with the car that they didn't want written down in a paper trail .........

That is what i was thinking.
This is a copy of my receipt, all it says is, "A FREE ALIGNMENT CHECK"
none of my complaints of the problem i was having are on it, dont know if thats normal are not.
