The Camaro is gone
Very sad day for me, I have bought a lot of new cars in my life and none of them touched me like My Camaro.. I swore up and down I would have it until it fell apart.
Well it did and at less than 12K miles and just over a year of ownership. In what the dealer said it "Hydrolocked" within a couple of months from a stuck injector. And a few 1000 miles. Then the Window Delamination - should have not happened on a 2020 Convertible - and it happened with just a few 1000 miles Then the motor completely failed end of last week - less than 12k miles My local Chevy dealer is awesome and they bought the car from me as is. Obviously with the warranty so they will fix and sell it, and I am sure it will be fine. I just could not look at the car the same anymore. I considered ordering a 2022 or buying a 2021 but it is too soon. The sting is still there - I am super sad. You all have been great. Be safe and have fun! I ended up finding a 2021 Octane Red Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody TR-6060 and jumped.

Sorry to see you leave the Camaro family but you did the right thing for yourself. Also, if I wasn't going to buy a Camaro it certainly would have been a Challenger for me - we can all stand united against Mustangs lol!
If anything you now have a back seat and a trunk lol |

Sorry you had such bad luck with the Camaro. Not a fan of the Challenger personally, I would have got a new Camaro... but that is why there are so many different vehicles right. We all have different tastes. Hope it treats you well.

So sorry to hear, I would've done the same thing... in fact I did with my previous car, a Subaru STi that was having far too many issues for me to deal with. Sometimes lemons are lemons and every automaker has some it seems.
Luckily we have lemon laws, dealers are more motivated to take lemons back once the car falls into the classification. The Challenger looks great, congrats! Should be a more comfortable car with useable back seat and trunk, lol...

Wow Fran, that sucks to hear about the SS, but im really digging the scat pack. Hope you enjoy the larger cabin and trunk opening. Should be a great cruiser and straight line performer.

That's too bad man. But hey, now you have room for the groceries. Just need to go back to the dealer and get those yellow splitter protectors put back on, lol.
