Default 2010 Camaro RECALL Already???

WTF...... Is GM really issuing a RECALL on the Brand New 2010 Camaro's Already??? A rival Mustang friend of mine sent the following link to me and sure enough, there is a 2010 Camaro being hoisted upon a Flatbed headed to the Dealer Ship because the battery cable running from the trunk to the started grounded out shorting his system shutting it down. What a bummer. Anyone heard of this yet??

That's what happens when you rush a product to try and save a sinking company. Just one more nail in the GM coffin.

I really wouldn't worry about it, Look how many recalls the C5 has had..... Too many to count.....

Yup its true, just had one done at my dealer today, the cable is in a really bad position rubbing on an engine bracket. I really want to like the car but, there are some things that really bother me about it.

I saw one with the white plastic coverings being test driven here in town, and I'm not too sure about it yet.

Hmm... maybe a slight overreaction. Perhaps only a thumbtack or staple in the coffin. Or... maybe it will still turn out to be a decent car.

just my .02, but this car wasn't rushed. They've been talking about it for 3 years, leaking some pics here and there. They had more than enough time to fix this little embarrassment. I really want GM to make it, but you have to wonder sometimes. HOWEVER, almost every car has some sort of recall... so to be fair this has to be considered.

Rush a product???? Are you kidding or what? They have been working on the NEW Camaro for 9 years at least. That's the real problem...Taking soooo long while the Mustang and Chargers are taking the market share.

I drove next to one for a while today. Got the wave and returned it. I thought it looked like a cross between a camaro and a Vette. Didn't do anything for me, but I thought it looked good.

Well, I just heard GM is going to GIVE the Saturn business to the French who have the Renault and let them run the business which will give them more access to import more French cars. I think this was in that same blog. I only hope GM is doing this so it may help save the company. Whatever it takes, I just don't want to see GM go down. I've owned nothing but Chevys since I was 18yrs old. My first car was a 59 Chevy Station wagon, which lasted me 6months, while I saved up to buy my next Chevy which was a 66 Chevy Impala SS, Blue with a white Convertable top and blue interior. Thats what started it all.
