156n3rd Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) In my OPINON. Chevy has always sucked. Me and my family have owned several and it's proven over and over again. My daughter's boyfriend has a Camaro. He thinks it's great because he knows I have issues with him being with my daughter (typical dad thing), but his Camaro is a self destructive clutch eating 3.4 P.O.S.. Chevy just doesn't get it and may never, ever do so. Edited May 2, 2009 by 156n3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retro-man Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 That's the one thing that has saved my '02 T-Bird from equalling my '70 Pontiac LeMans for unreliability: although I have spent a fortune in repairs, some of them repeated of the same thing, the T-Bird has never left me stranded. The old Pontiac used to do that all the time. Every time it was a tow truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY93SHO Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 http://jalopnik.com/5238125/camaro-grilles...g-at-high-speed Now the front ends are cracking! Add that to the battery cable and the brake weights and we have a trifecta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngeloD Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 So the dealer zip-ties the battery cable away from the starter motor, and advises the customer to keep the speed under 135mph on their commute into work. Right... What a complete piece of crap! :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add that to the battery cable and the brake weights and we have a trifecta! Gotta love some of the comments just throw in a couple extra front badges for support and the car'll hold up fine Some small problems are inevitable when you rush a car through production over five years. A little crack never hurts anybody. Actually this is a cutting-edge safety measure to keep drivers from driving above 150 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpd80 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 The ecstatic new owner, a forum fan-girl by the name of BUMLB, was crushed when the car conked-out cruising through a parking lot at a leisurely 5 MPH, completely losing all electrical power, locking the gear selector and the key in the ignition. A flatbed towed the disabled car to a dealer where diagnosis found the cable running from the trunk mounted battery had frayed on the starter motor and grounded out, causing complete loss of power. A new cable running a different route will be installed at the dealer. Hopefully this isn't something we'll be seeing more of on other cars. A "factory recall" before they're even sold.

V8-X Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Funny stuff. So a break down at 40 miles. Brake caliper weights to minimize brake squeal and the front bumper/fascia is cracking at high speed. Looks like typical GM work to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't have worried about a few stress cracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
