2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS – Click above for a high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nBack in July, we first told you about a serious driveline issue that was cropping up in Chevrolet’s new-for-2010 Camaro<\/a>. In specific, output shafts were failing on V8 manual transmission SS models, a malady that was generally tied to hard launches or use of the car’s launch control system. The problem eventually resulted in General Motors conducting some warranty repairs and briefly issuing a factory hold<\/a> of the SS while it fixed the problem<\/a>, and as far as we knew, that was that.<\/p>\n

That was the last we heard of the issue until AB reader Billie informed us that talks regarding output shaft failure were once again heating up over at the owner discussion forums of Camaro5.com<\/a> – so much so that GM’s own John Fitzpatrick, the marketing manager of Chevrolet’s performance cars, chimed in with a statement on behalf of the automaker, the text of which you can read after the break. <\/p>\n

Basically, Fitzpatrick says that after a review of the issue, GM is confident that failure rates “under normal driving conditions are very low… even in the most extreme driving condition, the probability of failure does not significantly change.” In any case, Fitzpatrick assures that GM will continue to stand behind their five-year\/100,000 mile warranty coverage.<\/p>\n

For the most part, it seems like Fitzpatrick’s comments have assuaged the concerned parties on Camaro5 (there are definitely still a few disgruntled folks), but if nothing else, it’s nice to see another example of an automaker wading into the internet fray to directly address customer issues.<\/p>\n
