What boggles my mind, are the cars it says was built and then shipped out two days later.
So the early cars are stored and go through extended amounts of QC (been nearly a month and a half now since my car was built), but cars built 2 or 3 weeks later come right off the line and shipped to the dealer without a 2nd thought? What if this car had a QC issue not yet found by the people inspecting the earlier built cars? You would think the initial cars would be held for a long while (such as they are now) and then the cars built over the next 2 or 3 weeks would also be held, but at a shorter interval until all has been deemed as good on the early builds, and then finally, the cars built even a few weeks after that can run business as usual with no extended QC hold. GM....please ship our early build cars!!!!

Or maybe there was an actual issue on earlier builds that needs to be repaired? They could then correct the problem on the assembly line so any new production is good to go.

The 2016 car of the year has QC issues...
I hope they get this fixed soon. A lot of hype on this 6th gen just to have the cars sitting at the factory for QC ussies... The backlash could start soon unless they get these cars moving ASAP.

They always say don't buy the first year, and this is the first production, of the first year, in factory with many new workers. You guys took a huge gamble in ordering so early. Hopefully they don't have too many problems. This wasn't very reassuring: http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=421284 Quote:

People can walk into a dealership and buy a Camaro. Yet I cant have my car that was built over 5 weeks ago. This blows!

Funny thing is some cars first year are actually the preferred year after the fact. Not due to possible lower production, but as some things may have been changed down the production run. This usually seems to go with higher end cars though...like the '63 Corvette, for example. |

You will note the GM PR person is indicating this is normal, keep early builds an extra few weeks while shipping builds assembled after the early builds. And expects people to believe it.
It is standard practice to closely inspect all early builds. If an issue is found, it is standard practice to correct before shipping completed builds as well as correct on the line. It has not been standard practice to hold early builds more than three weeks unless there was an issue. Maybe that has changed. Laborsmith |

I recall stating that a person will be able to walk into a dealership and buy it before a lot of people who ordered it get theirs and I got called out for it.. Blah blah blah allocation blah blah blah
This was the same case with the Mustang. |

I really feel for those that are sitting in limbo wondering if the person reading the IKEA manual to assemble their car even knew how to read... We really need to see some cars start showing up.. This is starting to smell more and more like a huge PR mess. |

I have not been notified of any issues, granted my case is special and all but apparently my QC didn't show any issues nor they discovered something else after so far. I think the issue mainly is the shipping companies and their work.
