I hate this car

4500 miles
2012 Camaro LS
Tomorrow is visit number 7 to the dealer for various problems.
18 days in the shop since April 1 2012 and apparently I am going to add to that...
I woke up to this one this morning.

I think I'm done with this car.

aww man i dont even know what to say at this point with this car. they damaged it at the factory never told me, fixed it with more mistakes, runs in the a pillars from the repaint, doors all pitted, big drip on the quarter panel, then, swirled it all to hell trying to buff and polish like novices.(man do I have a folder full of pictures most the reflection in the paint is the darn dealership from picking it up just disgusted every time....then fixed the rear end for that chatter, ordered some gmpp mufflers and went out this morning to plot my steps to install them next weekend, I glance over and see that.


It's time for a new car GM!

I dont know how else they can fix this thing....I have put more miles on the rental cars from the 7 times in the shop then the lousey 4500 miles I have on the car.
I average 400 miles then something else fails.
I baby this thing too.
I don't think its ever been past 4k on the tac.
Never dropped the clutch to show off, passed up smoking the ricers that come up next to us.
Nothing.

I feel very ripped off and I don't know what to do at this point.

Man I hope not...

Should I even drive it to the service department tomorrow to fix my dash bubbling issue or press the roadside assistance button and call it a day?

I'd drop it off and say I want another one. I'd be done too.

organize all your documents, contact GM and demand that they buy back your vehicle. Use the Lemon Law as a basis for your claims and followed up by your pictures.

Looks like they fixed your rear end chatter all right......

I'm with the rest, do buy back and/or have them replace the car with brand spanking new one just like it.

And hurry up its been 11 months since you got it, some states have time limits on these.

I'm not sure if lemon laws would apply if most of your items have been cosmetic, in GA I think it has to be three times on the same thing and it has to be a major component, like powertrain or electrical, but not sure. I would check that out as well still.

Not a broken axle just a small hole in the axle boot slinging greese. It will be a 1hr job once they get the part in stock, ive replaced 3or4 rear cv axle shafts in new 2012 and 2013 jeep grand Cherokee's lately with just a few thousand miles on them. I only can guess that sloppy factory workers nicked the cv shaft boots on install causing this on the assembly line
