I bought my Camaro brand new in 1998 from a dealer in Fort Worth, Texas. I agree with the concept of "problem child" - though my 1974 (still owned) and a 1986 (sold) run great!
This current Camaro has had the rotors turned twice, four pinion seals put in, three housings, two rear end gears (awaiting a third), seepage in the rear axle area (supposedly fixed), an oil sensor replaced, the cluster removed and repaired and only has 17,000 miles!
I would only buy another car from Chevrolet with a Buyer Assist.
Sorry to break the news to you dude, but you just got a lemon. I know the '98 Camaros to be quite reliable.
I have a 98 convertible that I bought brand new. It has 109,000 miles on it now and the only thing that has happend is one of my head gaskets had a leak. If you treat you car with respect and use good quality fluids and change them regularly, it will last you for ever. I traded in my 1988 IROC for it and the same thing went for that one. The only problems I had with that one was a leaky head gasket and a new clutch. I had it for 9 years and had 107,000 miles on it.
