I was driving down the freeway when I suddenly heard a knock coming from the motor. The engine blew a rod almost immediately. Parts and debris started shot out of the bottom of the vehicle. The debris hit my tires, causing me to swerve. I was ultimately able to maintain control of the vehicle and get off the freeway. My vehicle had to be towed.

THE TIMING CHAIN ON MY CAMARO 3.6L WAS STRETCHED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO RUN ROUGH AND STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP WAS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE BASED ON A SERVICE ALERT FROM THE MANUFACTURE. THE VEHICLE HAD 53000 MILES AND WAS REPAIRED AT MY COST FOR A KNOW MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED FOR SAFETY BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I BELIEVE GENERAL MOTORS IS ISSUING RECALLS FOR THIS SAME ENGINE BUT ON OTHER MODELS.

78000 MILES, TIMING CHAIN ISSUE, SPUN ROD BEARINGS, AND LOW COMPRESSION IN THE ENGINE. OIL AND MAINTENANCE DONE ON A REGULAR BASIS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT GO ON, NO WARNING SIGNS, AND DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF, KEPT RUNNING. I WAS GOING 40 MILES PER HOURS ON A HIGHWAY, WAS DRIVING AND STARTED HEARING THE ENGINE SOUND LIKE A TRACTOR TRAILER, HEARING BANGS EVERY 3/4 OF A SECOND. HEARING MULTIPLE REPORTS ON CAMARO FORUMS ABOUT THIS, AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE, CHEVY SAID IT IS AN OWNER ISSUE, I NEEDED TO GET MY ENTIRE ENGINE REPLACED BECAUSE OF IT. THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR 78,000 MILES ON A CAR, BUT I GUESS THAT IS WHY THEY BROUGHT THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY DOWN ABOUT THE SAME TIME PEOPLE STARTED REPORTING THESE ISSUES. CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY AND THEY SAID THEIR WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT BUT MAKE A REPORT ABOUT IT, AND IF THEY EVER COME AROUND TO A RECALL THEY WILL PAY ME BACK THE COST OF THE PRIOR REPAIR.

I WANT TO INFORM YOU THE VEHICLE DEALERSHIP BLEW ME OFF WHEN IT CAME TO GETTING MY VEHICLE RECALL COMPLETED. THE FOLLOWING IS WHAT I WENT THROUGH WITH GARBER AUTOMALL, 3340 HIGHWAY 17, GREEN COVE SPRINGS, FLORIDA TO GET THEM TO PROCESS MY VEHICLE RECALL. AS THE CONSUMER I WAS STUCK BETWEEN THE MANUFACTURER OF THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE DEALERSHIP. AUGUST 2014, I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ON MY 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO'S IGNITION KEY, RECALL NUMBER 14294. AT THAT TIME, I TELEPHONED GARBER AUTOMALL TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE RECALL COMPLETED. THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS ?OPTIONAL? AND I DID NOT HAVE TO GET IT DONE, IF I DID NOT WANT TO. I RE-READ THE RECALL LETTER FROM CHEVROLET AND DID NOT FIND THE WORD ?OPTIONAL? MENTIONED. ON 28 OCTOBER 2014, I WROTE CHEVROLET, ATTN: JIM MOLONEY, GENERAL DIRECTOR, CUSTOMER & RELATIONSHIP SERVICES, POST OFFICE BOX 909989, MILWAUKEE, WI, WHO I RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER FROM AND TOLD HIM THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THE RECALL IS ?OPTIONAL.? I DID NOT RECEIVE AN ANSWER FROM JIM MOLONEY. THEN I STARTED RECEIVING POST CARDS FROM RECALL INFORMATION PROCESSING CENTER, POST OFFICE BOX 909989, MILWAUKEE, WI, STATING THEIR RECORDS SHOWED I HAD NOT COMPLETED THE RECALL SERVICE ON MY VEHICLE. TRUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS ?OPTIONAL.? ON 15 JAN 2015, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR 15,000 MILE MAINTENANCE. AGAIN, I MENTIONED MY RECALL AND WAS TOLD IT WAS ?OPTIONAL.? I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP I WANTED IT DONE BECAUSE MY RECALL PAPERWORK SAYS NOTHING ABOUT ?OPTIONAL.? ON 2 FEB 2015, I FINALLY GOT THE RECALL COMPLETED. SINCE GOING THROUGH THIS FRUSTRATION WITH MY FIRST VEHICLE RECALL, I CAN FULLY UNDERSTAND WHY CONSUMERS IGNORE VEHICLE RECALLS. I WAS READY TO PACK IT UP AND PURCHASE MYSELF A HORSE AND BUGGY. *TR

POWER TRAIN

Gains speed on mild downhills. Request a feature to be called "Brake Saver" on all automatic transmissions. Depressing Brake downshifts if RPMs are low enough to reduce speed (2000-2500RPM, so next gear does not exceed 3600RPM). Taking foot off gas sets coasting maximum speed. If speed rises 5 km/hr 3 mi/hr the transmission downshifts to reduce speed to the speed the foot came off the gas pedal. Especially useful on Semis with Automatic transmissions.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was able to be restarted, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who determined that the wave plates had fractured and that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired and remained with the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to report the failure to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 155,000.

AFTER HAVING CAR TOWED TO A FRIEND'S SHOP WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT ON A LIFT AND SEE THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD EXPLODED AT THE MID POINT. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION WE FOUND THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLES HAD BET COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND THE DRIVE SHAFT THAT WAS LEFT ATTACHED TO TRANSMISSION HAD RIPPED INTO THE TUNNEL OF THE CAR.

Punching

May 30, 2025

I was driving my vehicle to school, and all the sudden i get a message saying "Engine Power Reduced!" as soon as that happened, my vehicle's speed decreased rapidly. making it hard to keep up at the same speed as traffic, I plugged my scan tool. And engine codes: P2138 and P2127 appeared on the reading. My check engine light is still on, and i noticed i see a flashing red color where my brake and gas pedal are located. I suspect its my Accelerator Pedal position sensor that malfunctioned or, my throttle body position sensor. but still I feel very unsafe driving the vehicle, the engine power is running extremely poorly. I would like to get a free Repair and Inspection of from A Chevy Dealer, I will continue driving the vehicle until the problem is fixed!

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL IN 2015 REGARDING THE ADJUSTABLE SEAT FOR THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SEATS. THE RECALL INVOLVED A PROBLEM IN WHICH THE SEAT WAS FALLEN TO THE LOWEST POSITION. WHEN I RECEIVED THE LETTER, I DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, BUT IN MY ATTEMPT TO BE RESPONSIBLE I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. RECENTLY I FACED THE PROBLEM, THE LEVER TO ADJUST THE INCLINE OF THE SEAT IS STUCK, AND MY SEAT IS IN ITS LOWEST POSITION. IT'S INCLINED ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY SAID THE REPAIR WAS GOING TO BE COVERED THROUGH THE RECALL, SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. MY CAR WAS IN THE DEALER FOR 1 1/2 WEEKS, AND IT WAS NOT REPAIRED. I RECEIVED A TEXT AND THEY SAID IT WAS GOING TO COST ME $381 TO REPAIR. THEN I CONTACT THE HEADQUARTERS OF GM AND THEY EXPLAINED MY CAR WAS NOT GOING TO BE FIXED BECAUSE IT WAS CHECKED BACK IN 2015 (WHEN IT WORKED FINE). THEN THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO CONTACT ME IN 3 BUSINESS DAYS TO PROVIDE ME WITH A COUPON TO LOWER THE PRICE OF THE REPAIR. TODAY I RECEIVED A CALL FROM ANOTHER REPRESENTATIVE AND SHE MENTIONED THEY DO NOT OFFER COUPONS. I ASKED EVERYONE FOR A WRITTEN STATEMENT EXPLAINING WHY MY CAR WAS NOT REPAIR AND THEY DID NOT PROVIDE IT; THEREFORE, I PLEASE ASK FOR YOUR HELP TO WORK THROUGH THIS RECALL AND GET MY CAR REPAIRED. FORTUNATELY, WHEN MY SEAT GOT STUCK IN ITS LOWER POSITION DUE TO THE LEVER NOT WORKING THE CAR WAS STATIONARY; HOWEVER, IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT HAVING A SEAT BACKREST.

I HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS CAMARO IN FEBRUARY, NOT KNOWING THAT THESE TIRES WERE NOT TO BE USED IN COLD WEATHER. WE HAD SOME VERY COLD WEATHER IN THE LAST PART OF FEBRUARY AND I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAMARO TO WORK. WHEN I ENTERED THE PAVED ROAD IT STARTED TO SPIN THE TIRES ON THE PAVEMENT. THERE WAS NO MOISTURE ON THE ROADS AND NO REASON TO LOOSE TRACTION. WHEN I GOT HOME I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON LINE AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE TIRES BEING WARM WEATHER TIRES ONLY. I THINK CHEVROLET SHOULD REPLACE THE TIRES WITH ALL WEATHER TIRES. PS TIRES WERE NOT LISTED I HAD TO USE UNKNOWN OR OTHER TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS SITE. THANKS *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 45 MPH, MY 2011 CAMARO WITH PERELLI P ZERO, 275/40-ZR20 06Y LEFT TIRE BLEW OUT FROM HITTING A PAIR OF NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS IN THE ROAD. THE PLIERS WENT COMPLETLY THROUGH THE TREAD AND I HEARD A POP AS IF THE TIRE HAD BEEN SHOT. THE VEHICLE SWERVED APPROXIMATELY 30 DEGREES TO LEFT THEN BACK TO THE RIGHT VIOLENTLY. I WAS IN THE CENTER LANE OF A 3 LANE HIGHWAY AND NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE CAMARO. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE IMMEDIATE LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE. THIS INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO CHEVROLET ON 15 JULY 2011 BY LETTER. IT OCCURRED IN TUCSON ARIZONA. *TT

SUMMER ONLY TIRES SOLD AS FACTORY EQUIPMENT ON 2011 CAMARO. THESE TIRES PROVIDED NO TRACTION WHEN I WAS CAUGHT IN A SNOWSTORM ON THE WAY TO WORK. IN ONLY 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW I COULD BARELY MAINTAIN CONTROL AT 11 MPH WHILE OTHER CARS PASSED ME LIKE I WAS SITTING STILL. I FIND IT PAINFULLY FRUSTRATING THAT IN A COUNTRY WHERE I MUST WEAR A SEATBELT "FOR MY PROTECTION", THAT A CAR COMPANY CAN SELL A VEHICLE WITH SUCH DANGEROUS TIRES. *TR

Apr 17, 2011

THE TIRES ON MY 2011 CHEVY CAMARO (AND OTHER MODELS) ARE PERELLI P-ZERO TIRES WHICH ARE "SUMMER" TIRES AS INDICATED BY THE MANUFACTURERS. THESE TIRES ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEAR FREEZING TEMPS. THE AUTO MANUFACTURER FAILED TO INFORM ME THE TIRES (WHICH ARE STOCK) ARE ONLY RECOMMENDED FOR WARM WEATHER. I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT INFORMED MOST CUSTOMERS OF THE SITUATION. MY RESEARCH INDICATES THESE TIRES EXHIBIT MORE PROBLEMS WITH HANDLING IN COLD TEMPS AS TIRE WEAR INCREASES. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE AUTO HAS INDICATED TO ME THAT THEIR ENGINEERS ARE CONFIDENT THESE TIRES ARE SAFE, BUT THE TIRE MANUFACTURER CONTINUES TO RECOMMEND AGAINST USING THESE TIRES IN NEAR FREEZING TEMPS. AS MOST OF THE CONTINENTAL USA IS EXPOSED TO NEAR FREEZING AND BELOW FREEZING TEMPS, I AM CONCERNED THESE TIRES WILL RESULT IN CRASHES WHICH COULD BE AVOIDED IF THE AUTO MANUFACTURER PROVIDED PROPER TIRES FOR OUR CLIMATE. THIS IS A PROBLEM WHICH MAY GO UNNOTICED AS MOST ACCIDENTS GO UN-INVESTIGATED OR AN INVESTIGATOR WILL NOT CONSIDER THE TEMPS WERE NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A RURAL ROAD, APPROX. 55 MPH, TWICE MY DRIVER SIDE ELECTRIC SEAT STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD AND UP BY ITSELF. IT WILL NOW ONLY MOVE UP AND FORWARD NOT BACKWARD. THE SEAT IS NOW IN A POSITION WHILE DRIVING TO HIGH TO SEE SAFELY AND FORWARD WHERE MY FOOT IS NOW PUSHING ON THE GAS CAUSING UNSAFE CONDITIONS. SINCE THAT DAY (1/18/2021) GOOGLING THE INTERNET I SEE A SAFETY RECALL BACK IN 2014 FOR THIS SAME SAFETY ISSUE AND CAN HAPPEN ALL BY ITSELF. CAN I TAKE IT IN TO BE FIXED WITHOUT COST TO ME ?

ON THE 2010-2014 CAMARO THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE HVAC BLEND/VALVE DOOR. THE ELECTRIC ACTUATOR CONNECTS TO THE DEFECTIVE BLEND/VALVE DOOR IT APPEARS TO BE MADE OF ABS OR SOME TYPE OF PLASTIC. THE MAIN CONCERN IS THAT IN COLD OR RAINY WEATHER THE FRONT DEFROST WILL NOT WORK ALLOWING WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW WHERE THERE IS NO VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO THE MOTORIST. THIS NOT A NORMAL WEAR PART. CHEVROLET HAS NOT OFFERED ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT BUT WILL CHARGE $2700.00- $3500 TO REPLACE A $14.00 PART. THIS CAUGHT ME OF GUARD A COUPLE OF TIMES IN RAINY WEATHER I HAD TO USE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WINDOW AND MIRROR TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY.

THE WINDSHIELD IN MY 2011 CAMARO APPEARS TO HAVE OPTICAL DISTORTION WHICH CREATES A GHOSTING EFFECT THAT IS VERY DISTRACTING. IN PARTICULAR, AT NIGHT WHEN THERE ARE HEADLIGHTS, TAIL-LIGHTS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, ROAD SIGNS, AND ETCETERA IT IS ESPECIALLY BAD. THIS IS EVEN SEEN WITH SUNLIGHT REFLECTIONS DURING DAYTIME DRIVING. THE REASON I FEEL IT IS OPTICAL DISTORTION IN THE WINDSHIELD IS BECAUSE IF I RAISE MY HEAD TO THE VERY TOP PORTION OF THE WINDSHIELD, THE OPTICAL DISTORTION GOES AWAY. I FEEL THIS IS INDICATIVE OF AN ANOMALY/DEFECT IN THE WINDSHIELD ITSELF. I HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED ONCE WITH A NEW FACTORY WINDSHIELD AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME OPTICAL DISTORTION ISSUES. I'M CURRENTLY TRYING TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS INDEED A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN WHICH I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE EVER DRIVEN (WHICH MAKES IT EVEN MORE STRANGE). IT IS MY HOPE THAT THIS TESTIMONY WILL BE HELPFUL TO ANYONE ELSE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

When someone sits in the passenger seat the airbag light/alarm goes on and off. My mechanic said I would need to take it to the dealer. I called dealer and they would need to diagnose if it is the seat belt or the seat weight sensor. Can cost upwards of $900. I just can't afford that. They should recall since I've researched so many complaints on this issue.

February 16, 2024 Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to bring to your urgent attention a potentially life-threatening issue regarding the 2011 SS Chevrolet Camaro. It has come to my attention, through personal experience and extensive research, that a hazardous situation exists due to a leaking gas tank in this vehicle model. Despite the gravity of this issue, the car's diagnostic system fails to detect any loss of fuel pressure or sense any fuel vapors, leaving unsuspecting drivers at serious risk. General Motors, particularly its Chevrolet division, has not issued any notice regarding defective fuel systems in the aforementioned vehicle model. This negligence is alarming, as the repercussions of such a flaw can be catastrophic, endangering human lives and personal property. Given the severity of this matter and the potential for serious injuries or fatalities, immediate action is imperative. It is my belief that this issue could affect model years ranging from 2009 to 2015, amplifying the urgency for intervention. One possible cause of this perilous defect could be attributed to the poor quality or substandard material of the fuel pump O-ring. Such a flaw constitutes a recipe for disaster and demands swift resolution. Furthermore, it is apparent that General Motors may be aware of this issue but has chosen not to address it, likely due to concerns about negative product branding and the associated costs of rectifying the problem. However, prioritizing profit over public safety is unacceptable and morally reprehensible. In light of the foregoing, I implore both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and General Motors to take immediate and decisive action to rectify this hazardous situation. Lives are at stake, and the responsibility to ensure the safety of consumers falls squarely on the shoulders of both the manufacturer and the regulatory bo

Car has new engine and transmission everything is new and well maintained, p2138 pops up throttle quits working causing me to almost wreck into another vehicle, I was stuck in traffic 1 hour waiting for a tow truck, 7 shops have worked on the issue and replaced every part including all the technical service bulletins provided here on the site and car is still doing the same thing. The electric system in the car is prone to these issue as is the ecm . Now it's either sell the car to someone with it being unsafe or spend another couple grand hoping to get it repaired. Chevys drive by wire system is a known issue with these cars yet no recall, why, why not recall and repair the issue or is our safety not a issue

HE SAID THE DRIVER SIDE WAS HIT AND IT WAS REPLACED. I ASKED HIM IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE? HE SAID NO. AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I LATER FOUND OUT, THAT HE WAS NOT BEING TRUTHFUL WITH ME. I LOOKED THE VEHICLE UP, AND FOUND THAT THE AIR BAGS HAD BEEN DEPLOYED. WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY VIOLATION. I ALSO ASKED HIM WHY THE BATTERY WAS BEING DRAINED. HE SAID IT JUST NEED TO BE CHARGED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A STEVE'S AUTO ELECTRIC IN CLERMONT FLORIDA. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THE AIR BAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AT THE COST OF $3,500. THIS IS A REBUILD ABLE TITLE. YOU CAN NOT GET THIS VEHICLE INSPECTED IF ALL OF THE REPAIRS ARE NOT DONE, AND YOU MUST HAVE RECEIPTS FOR EVERY PART THAT WAS REPAIRED, OR REPLACED. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE.

FOGGING AND VISIBILITY IS WORSE WHEN THE WEATHER IS COOL OR IT IS RAINING, AND THE COOLANT SMELL INSIDE THE CAR CAN MAKE YOU SICK AND GIVE YOU HEADACHES. FOG-FREE WINDOW TREATMENT IS INEFFECTIVE. TAKEN TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER, THE CAMARO HAS A BAD HEATER CORE - TO FIX THIS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS ISSUE, THE CAMARO'S WINDSHIELD MUST BE TAKEN OUT ALONG WITH THE DASH AND SEATS JUST TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE HEATER CORE... AT A COST AROUND $2,000 AND OVER A WEEK IN THE SERVICE CENTER... BEWARE THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER CHEVY'S POWERTRAIN WARRANTY (THE HEATER CORE IS EXCLUDED). THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NEWER MODEL CAMAROS AND SHOULD BE A GM RECALL BY NOW. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE BEFORE MY VISIBILITY WAS REDUCED TO ZERO... SOMEBODY ELSE MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY, OR MAY NOT KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WHEN THEIR WINDSHIELD BEGINS TO FOG. *TR

MY CAR BEGAN TO OVER HEAT CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY LOSE POWER. ALSO CAUSED FOGGED WINDSHIELD .. THE HEATER CORE ON THE CAMARO FROM 2010 - 2013 ARE HAVING MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING THE CAR TO OVERHEAT AND OR SPILL BOILING LIQUID ONTO YOUR PASSENGERS FEET, IF YOU WERE TO HAVE A PASSENGER START TO SCREAM WHEN THIS BURNING LIQUID WERE TO HIT THEIR FEET WHILE WEARING HIGH HEELS OR SANDALS YOU CAN EASILY GET DISTRACTED AND LOSE CONTROL OF YOU VEHICLE FROM JUST SOMEONE SCREAMING OUT OF NOW WHERE, THERE ARE COUNTLESS STORIES ON THE CAMARO FORUM ABOUT THESE HEATER CORES GOING BAD.. OTHERS EXPERIENCE COUNTING FOGGED WINDSHIELD WHICH COULD CAUSE A VISIBILITY ISSUE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND A VEHICLE BREAKDOWN CAUSING A ACCIDENT IF YOU BREAK DOWN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC... MY CAMARO IS AT THE DEALER NOW GETTING DIAGNOSED . BUT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AS A RECALL AND SHOULD BE.. *TR

THE AIRBAG NEED SERVICE ALERT CAME ON WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND I ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE NEXT MORNING I CALLED IVORY CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THE EARLIEST I COULD BE SEEN WAS MONDAY @ 8:30AM ,BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAD ONE PERSON THAT COULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I ARRIVED @ 7:45AM. AT 9:00AM I WAS ASKED, WHAT'S MY ISSUE AND AT 11:00 I ASKED WHY IT WAS TAKING SO LONG FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD SOMEONE WILL CHECK. GUY APPROACH ME @ 12:00 AND ADVICE ME THAT THEY RESET THE SENSOR AND TO KEEP MY PURSE OUT OF THE CAR SEAT. THREE DAYS LATER THE AIRBAG ALERT & TIRE ALERT CAME ON. ONSTAR SYSTEM DO NOT SHOW DATA FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. I SPOKE WITH A SERVICEMAN @ IVORY AND WAS TOLD TO COME BACK IN. I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND REQUEST AN EXPLANATION. *JS

AIR BAGS,WHEELS

1 complaint

I WAS TURNING RIGHT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THEN BY MISTAKE THE BACK RIGHT TIRE AND WHEEL HIT THE CURVE AND THAT MADE A LITTLE DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL AND THE WHEEL IS LITTLE BIT DIAGONAL. WORST CASE SCENARIO THE BEARINGS IS BROKEN. MY COMPLAINT IS WHY WOULD THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY THAT MOMENT WHILE THE IMPACT IS ONLY ON THE WHEEL? ALSO MY FRIEND WAS SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED THE POWDER THAT COMES OUT FROM IT GOT ON HIS SKIN AND HE GOT BURNED FROM IT, SINCE THAT IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE BURNS IF IT GETS ON UNPROTECTED SKIN, AND IT CAN SEVERELY IRRITATE THE LUNGS IF INHALED. THE MAIN POINT IS THE AIRBAG SHOULDN'T DEPLOY IN A SMALL DAMAGE AS THIS, I HAVE SAID THAT BECAUSE I EXPERIENCED IT WITH 2010 S600 MERCEDES BENZ, THE DAMAGE WAS WAY WAY WORSE THEN THE ONE ON THE CAMARO. THE DAMAGE ON THE S600 WAS TO WHEELS BROKEN AND THE BODY GOT EFFECTED AND THE ACCIDENT WAS VERY SIMILAR TO THE CAMARO AND THE AIRBAG ON THE S600 DIDN'T DEPLOY AND MERCEDES HAVE BETTER QUALITY AND MORE SAFETY THEN CHEVROLET. I WENT TO THE ROYAL CHEVROLET IN WEST BROAD STREET RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. THEY DIDN'T TREAT ME WELL THEY WERE TALKING TO ME AS CHILD THEY DIDN'T EVEN INSPECT THE CAR THEY JUST THE AIRBAGS DID WHAT IT SUPPOSE TO DO THAT WAS BY THE SERVICE MANAGER. I TOLD HIM THE DAMAGE WAS VERY MINOR AND THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG SHOULDN'T HAPPEN HE DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING HE WAS TRYING TO FLIP THE WHOLE THING ON ME. HE TOLD I HAVE NOTHING TO DO GO CALL GM. *TR

LEAVING WORK AND THE CLUTCH STUCK WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR THEN THERE WAS A TERRIBLE BURNING SMELL AND IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THEN WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 65MPH I DOWN-SHIFTED FROM 6TH TO 5TH FOR UPCOMING SLOWER TRAFFIC AND THE CLUTCH STUCK AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTS TO STALL. BOTH TIMES I HAD PRESSED ON THE GAS THINKING THE CLUTCH WOULD COME OUT AND IT DIDN'T SO THEN THERE WAS TERRIBLE BURNING SMELL. I FINALLY GOT THE CLUTCH UNSTUCK BOTH TIMES AND PROCEEDED HOME. IT DIDN'T DO IT WHILE DRIVING TO WORK BUT MY CAR HAD BEEN IN THE GARAGE ALL NIGHT. HOWEVER, AT WORK MY CAR SITS OUTSIDE ALL DAY AND IT WAS REALLY COLD THAT DAY. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT IT. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2011 CAMARO SS. THIS WAS A GIFT TO MY WIFE BECAUSE SHE HAD ALWAYS LOVED THE CAMARO. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AT A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR HOME ABOUT 70 MILES WITH NO TROUBLE AT ALL. A FEW DAYS LATER THE TEMPERATURE IN NORTH CAROLINA DROPPED TO AROUND 40 DEG AND STARTED TO RAIN. MY WIFE TOOK MY DAUGHTER TO THE STORE AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO GET ABOVE 30 MPH BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNCONTROLLABLE DUE TO THE REAR END CONSTANTLY FISH TAILING. I WAS CALLED BY HER CRYING BECAUSE SHE WAS SO SCARED. I CONTACTED A FRIEND TO GO AND GET THE CAR AND HE CALLED ME AS HE WAS DRIVING TELLING ME WHAT THE CAR WAS DOING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON LINE I FOUND OUT THAT THE PIRELLI PZERO TIRES THAT COME STANDARD ON THE SS AND RS CAMARO ARE SUMMER ONLY? TIRES. THESE TIRES ARE ONLY TO BE DRIVEN IN TEMPERATURES ABOVE 45 DEG AND IN DRY CONDITIONS! I AM CURRENTLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND RELIED TOTALLY ON THE DEALERSHIP TO INFORM MY WIFE OF ANY ISSUES OR WARNINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE COME WITH THE CAR. ALSO CHEVROLET IS TOTALLY AT FAULT BY SELLING, AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT, A TIRE THAT IS DANGEROUS TO THE POINT OF BEING CRIMINAL WHEN DRIVEN IN WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT COVER MOST OF THE UNITED STATES. I HAD TO PURCHASES, AT THE COST OF OVER $1000.00, A SET OF TIRES THAT ARE ?ALL SEASON? SO MY WIFE CAN DRIVE SAFELY. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE PAYING OVER $40,000.00 FOR A CAR THAT I NEED TO SPEND ANOTHER GRAND ON JUST TO MAKE IT SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. I WILL NOTIFY EVERYONE AND ANYONE THAT I CAN ABOUT THE HAZARDS OF THIS SITUATION. *TR

THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS WELL. THE FOLLOWING DAY AT THE CAR YARD WHILE THE KEY WAS INSERTED BY THE TECHNICIAN THE CAR SAID THAT AIRBAGS DEPLETED NEED REPLACING. *TR
