Exclamation 4 issues under 11k miles 6 months 2 repeat

Oh boy 2012 Camaro 6spd LS3 Black 2SS
At
Took delivery of camaro , took it home, gave it the first car wash, while drying it noticed 3 swirl marks one on each left and right side rear panel and one on trunk lid, took it to dealership... They had it resprayed... I notice a bondo spot on trunk lid..... Still haven't taken it back
1k miles brake reservoir leaking near cap area, they had it fixed

1k clutch squeaking every time I pushed the pedal down, they lubed it?.. it still continued to squeak... i guess i wore it out till it stop squeaking around 3-4k....?

4k reverse lights stayed on and so would my backup camera while I drive... Took it in they replaced brake switch, happened at 1k but issue didn't reacure till 4k

6-8k dumb people in parking lot or fwy rocks paint chipped off black camaro... Cheapest paint in my life... This right here makes me not wanna buy one again... Issues with the cheap paint is ridiculous living in 2012...

11k now clutch reservoir leaking again... Haven't taken it in yet, just parked it... I bought car in June...

11k window seals are indenting inwards both sides .

Dunno starting to hate visiting the dealer...

Tranny looks poorly made underneath I'll post up pics, sometimes going up steep driveways I think a rear differential makes a weird noise don't know if that's normal or not I think I've heard my nephew say something about possy traction ?

Im just real bummed about a new car having to be resprayed... I run a motorcycle/car shop full time ... taking time off to keep going back to the dealership ..finding a ride... a backup car... a ride back to the dealer... starting to be a pain.... Sad.... i really like the car just seems like im starting to be on this offtrack path with this one... The paint is a real bummer... never ever had a car with cheapie paint... and let me tell you... ive had over 20+ Cars... and over 15+ Motorcycles... this paint chips way too easy.... whats going on? I heard something about 1 out of 1000 cars comes out a lemon....

We apologize for the dissatisfaction you are experiencing with your Camaro. It does sound like your dealership is stepping up and addressing every concern, which is definitely a plus. Please let us know when you decide to take it in for the clutch and window issue.

Paint on my car is also very poor quality, some are's look like there's no clear coat.
for a 42,000 car can't beleive the cheap paint job they put on them.
My 2009 GMC pickup paint is 10 times better than the paint on my 2012 camaro.
