THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER, WHO REFUSED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

ORIGINAL OWNER OF 95 CAMARO 350 ENGINE THAT DID REGULAR MOBIL 1 OIL CHANGES AND HAS 97000 MILES. HAD TO REPLACE DAMAGED-WORN CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT GM IS HAVING WITH OTHER CARS ALSO. I HAD A PROBLEM BACK IN THE 70'S WHEN GM HAD A RECALL ON SOFT CAM SHAFTS AND THIS LOOKS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I JUST HAD FIXED ON THIS 1995. *TR

LOSS ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING CAR TO WORK. CAR WAS STRANDED ON SIDE OF ROAD. HAD CAR TOWED TO REPAIR CENTER. TECHNICIANS REPLACED COMPUTER MODULE AND OPTI-SPARK DISTRIBUTOR . A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER CAR WOULD NOT START. SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO BAD BATTERY. REPLACED BATTERY, CAR WOULD STILL NOT START. HAD CAR TOWED TO REPAIR CENTER. AT CAR REPAIR CENTER CAR STARTED WITHOUT ANY SERVICING BEING PERFORMED. REPAIRMAN COULD NOT FIND OR EXPLAIN POSSIBLE REASON FOR CONDITION. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER ANOTHER SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE. MANAGED TO COAST CAR TO A SAFE LOCATION OFF THE ROAD. AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, POWER RETURNED AND WAS ABLE TO START CAR AND DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE BUMPERS ON BOTH VEHICLES WERE SCRATCHED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE PEDAL WOULD DROP 3 INCHES AND THEN RE-ENGAGE AFTER 2 SECONDS. THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE PEDAL RETURNED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 180,000.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 30 MPH, FLAMES ERUPTED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE PULLED OVER AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE ENGINE AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WERE COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE SERVICE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. AN INSPECTOR FROM THE MANUFACTURER WAS SENT TO INSPECT THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE CONTACT SUSPECTED A MELTED SECTION OF THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE MELTED AND LEAKED FUEL ONTO THE HOT ENGINE CAUSING THE FIRE.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT ANY SPEED. AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP DETERMINED THE STEERING SHAFT COUPLING WAS LOOSE. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, #95V046000, REGARDING THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER, IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN.

I WAS HEADING NORTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND I CHANGED LANES FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT LANE. ONCE I CHANGED LANES MY CAR JERKED VICIOUSLY BACK TO THE LEFT I CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AND WENT BACK TO THE RIGHT, BUT THE CAR RAN OFF THE ROAD AND LOST THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL AND TIRE. THE TIRE WAS STILL INTACT WITH THE HUB AND AXLE (LUG NUTS WERE STILL CONNECTED ALL OF THEM WERE TIGHT.) THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. I BELIEVE I WRECKED BECAUSE MY REAR AXLE BROKE. AND FURTHER MORE MY AIR BAGS MUST HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT. THEY HAD DEPLOYED WHEN THE TOW TRUCKS BROUGHT THE CAR OUT OF THE HOLE. *NM

I HAVE HAD MY CAMARO FOR AWHILE NOW AND I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE WINDOWS HAVE BEGUN TO SCRATCH JUST BY ROLLING THEM UP AND DOWN. AND ALSO THE WINDOW RATTLES WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT. I HAVE TALKED TO PEOPLE ABOUT IT AND FOUND OUT IT IS A COMMON THINGS IN CAMAROS. NOW I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S MISTAKE. *AK

A PAIR OR POWER WIRES SHORTED OUT BY TOUCHING THE SUPPORT WIRES UNDER MY DRIVERS SIDE SEAT CAUSEING THE WIRES TO HEAT UP MELTING AND SCORCHING THE FOAM UNDER THE SEAT, CAUSING A SMALL FIRE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT COLLISION AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED DURING A RAINSTORM. THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANED, SPUN AROUND, AND STRUCK THE MEDIAN. THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES FAILED TO HELP GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *SCC *JB

MY DAUGHTER PUSHED IN THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER THAT IS WHEN SHE SAW A SPARK AND A TRAIL OF FIRE GOING TO TOP OF STEREO AND OVER TO STEERING AREA. SHE PARKED CAR AND CALLED THE FIRE DEPT. THE ONLY THING LEFT OF MY CAR IS BACK TIRES AND TAILLIGHTS. I HAVE HAD THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT STAYING ON. WIPERS WORK ONLY WHEN AND IF THEY FEEL LIKE IT. THEY DON'T COVER GLASS ON DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. NOT BEING ABLE TO GO UP OR DOWN IF YOU DIDN'T WAIT AN HOUR IN BETWEEN. THIS CAR HAS ONLY 70000 MILES ALL FACTORY NOTHING ADDED ON. *PH

MY 16-YEAR OLD SON WAS INVOLVED IN A FENDER-BENDER. BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, DESTROYING THE DASH AND WINDSHIELD OF HIS 1995 CHEVY CAMARO. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF HIS CAR FROM THE CRASH, EXCEPT FOR A BROKEN FOG LIGHT, AS HE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX 5-8 MPH. THE AIR BAG RIPPED THE DASH FROM THE FIREWALL, BURNED HIS ARM AND SCRATHCED HIS FACE AND ARMS. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT IN THIS LOW SPEED THIS MUCH DAMAGE SHOULD HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT. WHEN I SPOKE TO PRODUCT ALLEGATIONS GROUP WITH GM, THEY AGREED WITH ME THAT THIS TYPE OF AIR BAG WAS DESIGNED FOR"MODERATE-TO-SEVERE CRASHES", NOT A LOW-SPEED INCIDENT. BUT UPON LOOKING AT PICTURES SUPPLIED BY THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER, GM IS NOW TELLING ME THAT THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED BASED ON THE SOUND WAVES COMING FROM THE STEREO SYSTEM. WHAT A LOAD OF BUNK! IF THAT IS THE CASE, AIR-BAGS SHOULD BE GOING OFF ALL OVER THE PLACE. AND IF THAT WERE TRUE, ISN'T THAT ALSO A DESIGN FLAW? PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE....I BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING MY SON'S DESTROYED DASH AND WINDSHIELD, BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE AIR-BAGS WERE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. THANK YOU. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CRUISE CONTROL GOT STUCK. *TT

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE 10 MPH THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AT THE SAME TIME. THEY BROKE THE WINDSHIELD AND BUSTED THE DASH BOARD. *NLM. *AK

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 70MPH ON HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING BRAKES LOCKED UP, AND VEHICLE WENT INTO A SPIN AND CRASHED. *AK

IN DRY, GOOD ROAD CONDITIONS, WHEN BRAKING, THE ABS GOES INTO INAPPROPRIATE OPERATION AND REDUCES BRAKING ABILITY BY 40% TO 70%. I TESTED THE VEHICLE UNDER SAFE CONDITIONS AND THE PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT. I RE-SEATED THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS ON THE ABS MODULATOR / MOTOR PACK AND THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY GOES AWAY. *AK

ON DRY LAND ABS BRAKING SYSTEM GOES INTO AN APPROPIATE BRAKING OPERATION. LOSES ABOUT 40 TO 70% OF BRAKES. CONSUMER RECEDED CONNECTORS, AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY.*AK

WHEN BRAKES APPLIED, WHEELS LOCKUP, PULSATE AND SOME TIMES PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR, CLOSE TO CAUSING AND ACCIDENT. OWNER UNPLUGED THE 6 WIRES PLUG TO ABS AND BRAKES WORK FINE.

DISCOVERED GAS TANK LEAK WHILE CAR PARKED IN ALBANY, NY. PROCEEDED TO DE PAULA CHEVROLET, 785 CENTRAL AVENUE, ALBANY, NY 12206, TEL: 518-489-0122. THE FUEL TANK IS PROTECTED BY A METAL "SHROUD". THE GAS WAS LEAKING ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE. BOTH SHROUD AND FUEL TANK WERE IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE HOLE IN THE GAS TANK WAS DIRECTLY UNDER THE SHROUD, NEAR THE CENTER OF THE TANK - THUS NO OUTSIDE OBJECT COULD HAVE POSSIBLY CAUSED THE DAMAGE. THE DEALER LISTED THE PROBLEM AS RUST - AS THAT WAS THE ONLY EXPLANATION THEY COULD OFFER. AN EXAMINATION OF THE TANK SHOWED NO RUST. THIS CAR HAS NOT SEEN A WINTER AS IT IS GARAGED DUING THE WINTER MONTHS. THE DEALER. DE PAULA SHOULD STILL HAVE THE TANK, AS I REQUESTED IT BE HELD. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS POLITE, HOWEVER THEIR INTEREST WAS IN THE FACT THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE EXPENSE IS MINE. I DO CARE ABOUT THE $900 IT COST TO FIX BUT I STRESSED TO THEM HOW UPSET I WAS WITH THE FACT THAT THIS CAR WAS CLOSE TO EXPLODING. ADDITIONALLY FUEL TANKS DO NOT WEAR OUT IN 6 YEARS. I USED TO BE IN THE AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS.*AK

POWER SEAT OF DRIVER, SHORTED OUT CAUSING AND ELECTRICAL FIRE; THE DEALER AT CLASSIC CHEVROLET WOULD NOT ASSIST ME IN ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY REPAIR AND QUOTED ME OVER $850.00 TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *AK

AT FIRST I NOTIFIED THE COMPANY TELL THE MY CAR JUST ACCELERATED ALL A SUDDEN. THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE SYSTEM SO THE MECHANIC STATED. I THEN GOT MY CAR BACK AFTER 3 MONTHS IN THE SHOP AND I HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO DRIVE ACCROSS AND PLACE IT IN STORAGE FOR 4 YEARS. YOU SEE I AM IN THE AIR FORCE AND WAS ASSIGNED A 4 YEAR TOUR TO JAPAN AND I JUST RETURNED THAT IS WHY THIS INCIDENT WAS SOO LONG BEING REPORTED AND ALSO THE FACT THAT IT TOOK ME A YEAR TO FIGURE OUT THIS IS WAS HAPPENED. THE SEAT DO NOT PROVIDE ADQUATE FORWARD AND AFT SUPPORT . I WEIGHTED ABOUT 225LBS AT THE TIME. CAN YOU PLEASE HAVE THEM CHECK THE SEAT FOR SUPPORT. THANK YOU. *AK

DURING NORMAL BRAKING FROM SPEED OF APPROX. 45MPH TO SPEED OF APPROX. 20MPH ON FLAT, LEVEL, SMOOTH, DRY PAVEMENT, ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATED WITHOUT REASON. ENTIRE CAR SHUDDERED AND STEERING ATTEMPTED TO PULL CAR TO THE LEFT WITH BRAKING ADJUSTED BY ABS WHICH LENGTHENED BRAKING DISTANCE GREATLY.. LOW TRAC DASH LIGHT ON DURING ABS CONTROLLED BRAKING EPISODE, BUT ABS LIGHT NOT ON AND NOT FLASHING. SHUDDERING NOISE HEARD FROM UNDER CAR, ESPECIALLY TOWARD RIGHT PASSENGER FRONT DURING ABS CONTROL OF BRAKES AND CONTINUED FOR APPROX. ANOTHER MILE AFTER BRAKE PEDAL HAD BEEN RELEASE AND SPEED OF 40 MPH WAS RESUMED. HAVE HAD PREVIOUS TROUBLE WITH ABS ACTIVATING WITHOUT REASON WHILE BREAKING TO A NORMAL STOP ON DRY PAVEMENT FROM SLOW SPEED (LESS THAN 10-15MPH) AND WHILE BREAKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN SLIGHT DECLINE AT SLOW SPEED IN A PARKING GARAGE. ALSO HAD INSTANCE OF CAR BEING FULLY STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT COMING ON AT SAME TIME AS CAR JUMPED FORWARD APPROX. 3 FEET, WHILE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY ALLOWED ITSELF TO BE DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR.

ON NOV.12, 1999, I PARKED MY CAR AT A GASOLINE STATION. I PUMPED SOME GAS AND AS I PROCEEDED TO TURN MY VEHICLE ON, MY ENGINE WOULD NOT START. I CHECKED TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS ONLY TO FIND ALL THE FUSES IN MY CAR BURNED ALONG WITH ALL THE ELECTRICAL WIRING. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO SHOP AND THE OWNER INFORMED ME THAT EVERYTHING HAD BURNED UP, THE ABS SYSTEM, THE COMPUTER, COMPUTER CHIPS, ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONETS WERE BURNED. HE COULD NOT EXPLAIN HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED. THE OWNER TOOK 3 MONTHS TO FIX IT. IT WAS SO EXPENSIVE THAT WE ONLY FIXED A FEW OF THE THINGS, WE DID AWAY WITH THE ABS SYSTEM AND THE AIR BAG. BECAUSE WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS WE WERE UNABLE TO MAKE A PAYMENT ON THE VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO BE REPOSSESED. I RECALL READING AN ARTICLE IN CONSUMER REPORTS MENTIONING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BUT IT DIDN'T SPECIFY WHICH ONES. IF YOU COULD GIVE US SOME INFORMATION REGARDING THIS, IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. SINCERELY, A DISGRUNTED CHEVROLET BUYER

DRIVER'S SEAT SLIDES AROUND AND DOES NOT LOCK IN PLACE.

ON AUGUST 5TH I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, ON 8/8/2000 I TOOK IT TO BP GAS STATION BECAUSE THE ABS LIGHT WAS STAYING ON, IT COST ME 180.30 AT THAT TIME TO FIX THE PROBLEM I THOUGHT, 3 DAYS AFTER THAT THE ABS LIGHT CAME BACK ON, I TOOK IT BACK TO BP AND THEN WAS TOLD THE WHOLE BRAKE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, I WENT BACK TO VALU MART DID SOME COMPLAINING AND SINCE I ONLY HAD THE CAR A WEEK THEY SUPPOSINLY REPLACED THE SYSTEM BUT WOULD NOT REIMBURSE FOR WHAT I HAD ALREADY SPENT, SO FAR THE ABS LIGHT HAS NOT COME BACK ON. IT IS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT KEEPS COMING ON, IT COST ME 430.00 FOR VALU MART TO REPLACE THE CYLNOIDS, ALTHOUGH ONLY THE NUMBER ONE CYLINOIDE WAS BAD ALL THREE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE ALL THREE ARE ONE PART, THIS IS TWO WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL COMES ON, I TOOK IT BACK DOWN TO VALU MART AND WAS TOLD THAT THE MEMORY HAD NOT BEEN ERASED THAT IS WHY THE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, SO THEY RESET THE MEMORY, BUT THAT DID NOT WORK, SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND THEY PUT IT BACK ON THE MACHINE TO FIND OUT THEY HAD GOTTEN A BAD PART SO THEY REPLACED IT, BUT THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE WHATEVER IS WRONG WITH IT THEY (VALU MART) DO HAVE THE PROPER EQUIPEMENT TO DETECT THE PROBLEM . HERE I HAVE PAID THEM 430.00 FOR SOMETHING THEY HAVEN'T FIXED AND ITS HARD TELLING WHAT THE DEALER IS GOING TO CHARGE AND I HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR MORE THAN A MONT

REPORTED CAR WAS SLOW TO (LONG DISTANCES) STOP DEALER STATED NOTHING WRONG WITH BREAKS. WHEN WARRENY ENDED DEALER ADJUSEDT REAR BERAKS AND CONTINUED TO STATE NOTHING WRONG ON 8/15/00 CAR WOULD SLOW TO STOP AND THEN START ROLLING AGAIN. COST ME $530.00 TO FIX DEFECTIVE SENSOR. HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL LOOSE THERE LIVES DO TO DEFECTIVE ABS PARTS BEFORE A RECALL ANS I FEAL I SHOULD GET A REFUND THIS WAS NOT FROM MISUSE THE CAR HAS 23261MILES ON IT

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS LIGHT COMING ON JUST SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THEY SUPPOSEDLY SAID IT WAS NOTHING SERIOUS, THEY MAY HAVE REPLACE(DOUBT IT) OR JUST RESET SENSOR. ON 7/3/00, MY LIGHTS(ABS & LOW TRAC) CAME ON SO I CALLED DIFFERENT MECHANIC...I WAS TOLD THAT COULD BE NOTHING BUT COULD ALSO BE PROBLEM AND TO BRING CAR IN. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SENSOR HUB WAS NOT WORKING AND SO I HAD THE LEFT SIDE REPLACED. ONE MONTH LATER, AUGUST 21, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR IN AND THIS TIME IT WAS THE RIGHT SIDE THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. I THINK THAT CHEVY OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER, SHOULD REALLY TAKE THEIR CUSTOMERS SERIOUS WHEN THEY SAY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR, AS WE THE CONSUMER DRIVE THEIR VEHICLES ON A DAILY BASIS AND KNOW WHEN SOMETHING IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THEY SHOULD DEFINITELY DO A RECALL ON THIS PART BEFORE SOMEONE IS DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND ENDS OF DYING DUE TO POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. I WOULD APPRECIATE HEARING IF ANYONE ELSE HAS COMPLAINED OF SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS THAT HAVE OCCURRED TO ME. SINCERELY

WHEN IT RAINS OR WE WASH OUR VEHICLE WATER GETS BEHIND REAR TAILLIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS ALSO BOTH DRIVE AND PASSENGER WINDOW LEAK AND BEFORE WINDSHIELD WAS FIXED PASSENGER FRONT FLOOR WOULD BE WET. *AK
