Default What don't you like about your car?

This is a thread to let it all out. Tell everyone all your complaints about the car, what the manufacturer could have improved on, what the car is lacking, etc. Add as much as you like.

The door panel cracks on the Trans Ams. Just no excuse from Pontiac. Even the low mileage cars have them. Just poor inferior plastic and design.

Yeah, I would say the door panel cracks, I bought mine with 65K, garage kept and babied, yet still had them. Unavoidable I guess.

I know a lot of people complain about their T-tops leaking. I run mine through an automatic car wash, through rain storms, etc. It never leaks, so I guess I am fortunate.

One thing in particular I'm not too keen on about the Camaro is the looks. It looks so plain, unassuming, not very sporty or muscle car looking at all. Pontiac nailed the looks of the Trans Am, I think the Camaro needed a serious updated look. Only LS1 Fbody Camaros I have seen that look really striking are ones that have been modified, aftermarket headlights, lowered, stripes sometimes, custom paint, etc.

I guess I'm also fortunate, mine is 10 years old with 70,000 miles and no door panel cracks. I also live in the deep south, lots of heat down here and still don't have it...I do put that sun reflector piece in the windshield though, on most hot and sunny days.

It's expensive to mod and fix... And I can't get traction without breaking it.

You want the whole list?

ok.. lets see..

the suspension is original, it creaks and pops
when the tires are cold the steering wheel shakes. goes away when the tires warm up (riken raptor.. cheapy..)
Piston slap makes me wait 3 minutes after every cold start before I can leave.
Valvetrain noise makes me think it's about to give up on me
hesitates randomly, haven't pinned it down.
1-2 shift under load is like hitting a wall
rearend whines at 60-65
crack in driver side front fender. Not a big deal, but it bugs me cosmetically.
bubbles in sail panel
hole in driver's door where the spring pushes against it, needs a new door.
power window barely works driver side, doesn't work passenger side
power window switch broken for passenger side on driver side of car
passenger door handle broken on the outside
missing 1 rear seat bucket
broken rear bumper from a rearender 2 weeks ago
BCM cuts out randomly making my only working window not work, and my radio stop working.
speakers blown
SS hood was literally in a tornado, needs repainting
it's.. kinda slow

the funny thing is the things I DONT like about this car... are also the things I do like about it.. if that makes any sense.

cubic zirconium in the rough.

Lol, the power is really not a valid complaint. I mean, when these cars were brand new, they ruled the road in stock form. And for being a 14 year old motor, they still do pretty well by today's standards. And I'm pretty sure yours is not stock! I think you have the common addiction many car addicts have, can't stop modding it.

Of course I did say you could complain about anything

The chipping paint on my spoiler and that it doesn't have heads/cam/intake/stall. Lol. I do wish that the seats were better leather and a tad more comfortable.
