What "Repairs" have You Done For Me (Lately)?

This is not a "Mod" thread, but more-so-an OEM Maintenance thread. What OEM repairs, fixes, recalls etc. have you done to your Camaro (5th Gen) since owned, and to date.

I will start:

2012 45th Anniversary, LS3 with 13K miles
Changed engine oil at interval
Changed Rear Diff oil at interval

Kinda' gives an idea of the issues (good or bad) when those 5th Gen Camaro-miles are adding up.

Well, it started back in '89 when I wiped out the front end of my '70 Buick and had to replace everything forward, north, and south of the headlights....followed by dash wiring. Then the brakes. Then a new roof. Then suspension. Then replacing the engine. This brings us to 1991. Only another 23 years left to describe...

Chris: you almost gave me a nose bleed!!

How about that 2012 SS of yours, describing the "fixes" on that one.....hehehh... Can you go forward and describe only the last 2 or 3 years??

But we will never get to '98 when I was going to replace my rear main seal and found two broken pistons...oh well...nothing has failed on my 2012 Camaro, only problem has been vandalism three times, lol
