Default I think i just bought a red lemon!

Well I just got my 2010 Camaro RS V6 in Victory Red but all I'm seeing is Fail. First off one of the key fobs doesn't work and the key doesn't get released with the button. Than I started getting a tire pressure message on display and from what I can tell I have a bad left rear wheel sensor (that wheel isn't being read at all). This morning I went to get breakfast before work and my speedometer is off (it's stuck at 40 rather than 0). This is really starting to **** me off. The car now has 126 miles on it, going to the dealership Monday and if they don't do something about it I'm gonna be PISSED.

Tell you what; go in there and be polite and pleasant, instead of angry and yelling at everyone. They'll be much more willing to help you out and much less likely to "accidentally" fill your intake with spittle.

Having worked in customer service for 5 years, I promise you it's a better way to handle it.

The dealership didn't build the car but they get the displeasure of making it right if there's a problem.
Keep your cool and be respectful,it'll go a long way toward good service.
If you need to vent write a letter to GM,ultimately they are responsible for the quality of their products and should take the heat if things aren't right.

The first year issue of a new model is always full of bugs, just like new computer software. Let factory build them for one or two years to get them right. Don't get pissed at the dealer, they just get to fix what the factory didn't assemble right.

Thanks for the input guys, the car's running fine now. I talked to a guy at the service at GM and since I've had so many problems in such a short period of time (It's been in the dealer like 5 more times since I made this thread) they're going to pay my first months payment which is like $469. Also the guys at the dealer were very nice and helpful, after a while the guy that was helping me would tell me to clock in when I brought it in (again) lol.
