Only issue i have had is the brake start up problem, will be getting that fixed in the near future. Not sure if one of my TMPS is bad or if i just need to add air.

The only issues I have had were start up brake, broken intercooler tube and the Stage kit install issue.

The Stage kit install issue has to do with the intercooler being install a fraction of an inch farther back than it should be and the T Map hitting the AC compressor under hard acceleration. They are going to remount the intercooler Monday by moving it forward and that should solve it.. This was a accident repair issue not GM related issue.

I did hear at the dealer there has been some internal problem with Ecotechs on RARE occations getting water in the oil. The tech did not say what caused it but he as seen one or two.

Only issues so far with the SS: Brake startup problem (problem not fixed. still waiting for the parts to arrive. Hopefully i'll be able to have this problem fixed, before GM goes belly up ) and the CEL P0335 (which was fixed with a simple ECU reprogram). So far, i'm VERY satisfied with the vehicle, and I plan to keep it a LONG time.

The only mods i've done so far, is to replace the original tail lights, and put LED tail lights, and replace the stock boost gauge with the Aeroforce Interceptor gauge. The next mod, (and probably the last mod i'll do to the car)will be to have the Stage 1 kit installed.

I think the more you modify a vehicle, the more likely you'll end up having problems IMHO. If it aint broke, don't fix it.

I have had a tpms go out and I have had my map sensor go out. The map sensor was out because of the aftermarket tune. (overboosting the sensor)

I've had 3 TPMS sensors replaced (all but LR) but that isn't an SS issue; it could happen in any of the models. I also have a sagging headliner that has not been fixed in 2 attempts and other minor issues, but again they are not SS model specific. The only SS specific issue I've had is the startup brake issue, and torque steer
