1999 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible review from North America
"High maintenance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Catalytic converter had to be replaced.
Something else underneath broke after the converter was replaced, and rattled upon acceleration.
Brakes were very, very noisy - squeaked every time they were used.
Front rotors had to be machined once, and replaced once.
Rear rotors were starting to go bad.
Horn relay broke. Dealer fixed once, then it broke again after about a month.
Parking lamp day-time running lights had to be replaced three times (very difficult to do yourself)
There was a short in the alternator, causing volt meter to dip when I applied the brakes - this caused my clock to run slow and had to be reset every week to the correct time.
Passenger-side seat belt installed at factory twisted.
Fog light burnt out.
General comments?
This car was supposed to be a blast to drive, but it was a money pit. Every time something was fixed, another thing broke. I got to the point when I stopped fixing things. The car looks great - nice wrapper, but the candy inside stinks.
