F-body cars come unaligned from the factory with the camber not set right so the outside of the front tires wear fast in, which the dealer refused to fix.
Rear end leaked - fixed.
Rear end bearing seized and damaged the rear end - the dealer will not fix correctly.
The car has on 7500 miles on it.
The GM F-body cars are the fastest thing on four wheels for under $30,000; however GM can't build quality in a car for anything. Very unreliable, never know when something will give up.
i just bought a 2000 Chevy Camaro SS. I thought that the reliability records and quality in the car were too hard to give up a buy on, but contrary to the fact, after receiving the car it has been subject to various problems - it stalls whenever I pull up to the lights, and I think that the next car that I purchase will be a Geo Metro.
The people who bought the SS probably owned a rice burner previously to acquiring the SS. They need to learn how to drive with an American clutch.
Rice burner, good one. The guy had a Honda Prelude so I guess somebody had a few V-tech stickers on the car with quad-exhausts and Japanese writing.
Why should people have to get used to poor quality american cars? I love the manual tranny in my Talon. Don't get me wrong I love v8's (I've owned 3 classic Mustangs), but new american cars are junk as far as quality.
Oh please.. I work at a junk yard and the majority of the cars we have are foreign.. They all still RUN, but they are fallin apart. I drive a chevy tracker in the yard (Everyone knows that's foreign), and it runs good and you can't get the thing stuck in anything - it will crawl through swamps!. But it sucks.. it just, plain, sucks.. The ride quality is deplorable. The horsepower is pathetic. The road noise is deafening.. And it looks funny.. Take advice from the guy who tears these pieces of junk apart everyday, preparing them for the crusher. I have driven all of these cars I speak of when they have been in mint condition too.. They still suck.. I have driven lots and lots of cars.. Some times I will drive some foreign car, like a honda prelude or a mitsubishi something all day.. Then I drive my '97 F150 home and it feels like a million bucks.. The ride is smooth.. The only noise your can hear is the engine and the radio (That's American).. The power is ample.. It looks good and it makes you look good.. Foreign SUCKS..
I agree with myself in that last post. But now, I don't think foreign is ALL that bad.. I been checking out some of these Nissan Z's and Preludes and Suzuki bikes, and Isuzu's with Lotus suspension.. I dream of driving these cars, sometimes I drool.. Like the Nissan 280ZZ - whoa, that's a cool looking car, you open the hood and all that is under there that you can see is the massive inline 6.
Then Mazda RX7's, very inovative, the rotary engine... And FAST.. It's also a very cool looking car. So foreign isn't all bad.
I had nothing but problems from the rear differential in my Camaro and the dealer could never fix mine right either. I loved the car though, but I would not keep it very long.
I bought a 1999 Camero and had nothing but trouble with the rear differential it had two leaks fixed and then the bearings and now that it is off the warranty it started making that awful humming sound again, took it in to the dealer and low and behold... it needs a whole new rear end!! I called GM customer service and "there's nothing they can do help me"! I know one thing for sure that I will never and I mean never, buy another GM vehicle again and I will make sure everyone I come in contact with knows what kind of vehicles they sell and what horrible customer service they provide also!!!
I would like to add that I love driving my 2002 Z28.
The only problem is since I bought it new in 02', I have had the pistons, hatchback glass, headliner, window motors, rear bumper cover and yes, the bearings in the rear end replaced.
All under warranty I might add.
I think it is important that when you are dealing with Service Managers, do not take no for an answer. Tell them what you expect and make it clear you will settle for nothing else.
If all else fails, Small Claims Court is always am option.
Don't rule anything out.
Anyone driving a newer Camero payed a good price and deserves to get what they payed for.
