DURING THE CALIFORNIA RAINS OF 2005, MY CAMARO'S T-TOP ROOF LEAKED SO MUCH THAT THERE WAS 1 1/2" OF WATER IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. THE DEALER REMOVED THE INTERIOR AND ALLOWED IT TO DRY, BUT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIRS AS A WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND I OWNED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND FOR WEEKS BY THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT BEFORE FINALLY BEING TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS. *JB

ALL FOUR ROTORS BECAME WARPED MYSTERIOUSLY JUST DAYS AFTER TAKING CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE OIL LEAK, REAR SPEAKER, AND LEFT POWER WINDOW FIXED. BAFFLED AT HOW THIS COULD OCCUR ON A VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILES AND EASY DRIVING. HOWEVER, MECHANICS AT DEALERSHIP DROVE MY CAR FOR 30 MILES - SO WHO KNOWS WHAT OCCURRED DURING THAT TIME. HAD TO PAY BRAKE SHOP $85 TO GET 4 ROTORS RESURFACED, SINCE DEALER WOULD NOT WARRANTY. (STEREO SPEAKER STILL NOT FIXED, AND WINDOW STILL RATTLES). *NLM

THE VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCED SLOPPY SHIFTING, NOISY DRIVE TRAIN, NO TRACTION CONTROL, MANY SQUEAKS AND VIBRATIONS. THE WINDSHIELD SCRATCHED EASILY FRONT HE WIPER BLADES WHICH CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY. *MR *SCC *NLM

THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THERE IS A DISTORTION ON THE WINDSHIELD . CONTACTED DEALER AND THE DEALER IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THE OBJECTS APPEAR LARGER AND SMALLER WHEN YOU LINE YOUR LINE OF SIGHT SHIFTS FROM THE CLEAR AREAS TO THE DISTORTED AREAS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE GLASS ONCE WITH THE IDENTICAL WINDSHEILD AND NOW CLAIMS THAT THE DEGREE OF DISTORTION IS NORMAL FOR CAMAROS, AND SEES KNOW REASON TO IMPROVE. *SCC
