Not only the interior issue, but there's a reliability one, too. The Camaro already had a recall on some electrical system component. Bad omen. Great choice on the Z, dude. Congrats'!

At least Chevy issued the recall for it - how about all those seat click noises and other oddities in the 370?

i think one of my neighbors possibly just traded his truck in for a camaro since it was the same color as his former truck. they were pulling into the parking lot this morning as i was leaving. sure, i could have been polite and waited while he took up the whole lane to park but i just stayed on my side and kept going not giving a crap that they drive a camaro (i could care less) and just about clipped the back end leaving. they are not going to get any respect from me.

Are you in MD? Not far from where I live is a guy that just bought a yellow camaro which is the same color as his yellow dodge truck.

Clicks, squeaks and rattles won't leave you stranded in the middle of the night, dude. A bad alternator or other electrical system component will. That's my logic. There are little nuisances, and then there are serious defects. Check the stats' out for reliability, Mighty Bo'.

Im not saying on a scale of severity, the Camaro's wasnt far worse than squeeks and rattles - but they caught it, and they offered a recall fast. That's a lot better than trying to ignore the problem.

My point is, in the end, that there are problems with every new car when they come out. Luckly I can view this from a programmers standpoint, and realize that they can be very complex machines, and problems can always crop up.

I agree with you, dude. Toyota has the best reliability record in the whole auto industry, and they've had recalls, too. I'm more concerned with the seriousness of the problem (i.e. will it leave me "marooned" on a road at night?; will I have to keep taking it back for costly repairs once the warranty's over?, etc.). Along with Toyota, Honda, and Subaru, Nissan has racked up a pretty good reliability record. My '04.5 Touring Coupe's only needed--so far!--a new power window motor (driver's side). Given, she's got just 24k on her odometer, but one repair in six years ain't that bad. Greetings!
