Justin,

I recently had a similar experience in my 2014 Camaro. It lit the dash up like a Christmas tree one morning. Steering, ABS, Stabilitrak, etc.. Steering went to about half power. Drove it about a mile to a dealer. They kept it two days. They couldn't clear it for a day. New BCM software. Finally, they called and said they cleared it. They couldn't identify the problem. I could see they had been in the trunk at the battery. I think they checked/cleaned the cables. The battery was only a few months old. There are a lot of these experiences posted over on the Camaro5 forum.

When we talk about items or even the whole vehicle on being a few months old or the vehicle only has 10,000miles on it.....those type of statements mean nothing anymore. These vehicles are made at such a high pace and parts are manufactured all over the world and come to one place for assembly. Problems will arise no matter if a vehicle is a day old or 10 years old. I've had an ungodly amount of vehicles that had to pushed off of the delivery truck because of various different problems. I'm talking transmissions that wont shift, dead cell batteries, no communication in the HS GMLAN, open circuits causing indicator lights, you name it, it's happened. I would be comfortable in saying there really isn't a good QC check done at the plants. They make them so fast, they really don't have time to check them all like they need to be checked, not to mention they probably aren't paying these people that much.

In the transport airplane manufacturing world, we have complexity beyond belief. Yes a truck is very complex. But a large transport airplane has more electrical/electronic systems and wiring than imaginable. So, they developed machines and methods of testing them at various stages of assembly. It still isn't perfect, but it helps.
