TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR. ALSO, THE SERVICE STABILITY TRAC AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (VANDERGRIFF CHEVROLET, 1200 W INTERSTATE 20, ARLINGTON, TX 76017, (682) 323-2486) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REDUCE ENGINE POWER INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED ONCE AS A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

THE HID HEADLAMPS ON THE 2010 CAMERO SS ARE NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE THE ROAD WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY BECAME STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO RELEASE THE KEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHIFTING THE GEARS WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL HELPED SOMETIMES DURING THE FAILURE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

REFLECTING BOWL IN HEADLIGHT DETERIORATED AND I CANNOT SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS LIT. FIRST SYMPTOMS WERE WHEN AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT SAT DOWN, AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. NOW IT JUST REMAINS LIT EVEN WITHOUT OCCUPANT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, THERE WAS A DRASTIC REDUCTION IN SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEACON JONES CHEVROLET (1115A N BRIGHTLEAF BLVD, SMITHFIELD, NC 27577, (919) 934-8101) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE MANUFACTURER SERVICE CAMPAIGN: 12-06-01-009E APR 14 (ENGINE - TIMING CHAIN KITS AND CHAIN GUIDE REPLACEMENT). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND WAS PARKED AT THE CONTAC'TS RESIDENCE DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

THE WARNING LIGHT AND MESSAGE TO "SERVICE AIRBAG" ILLUMINATES WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. THE LIGHT REMAINS ON WHETHER SOMEONE IS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OR NOT. REPLACING THE BATTERY DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I'M NOT SURE IF THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING CORRECTLY OR NOT.

I RECENTLY NOTICED A HAIRLINE CRACK ON MY DASHBOARD AND BELIEVED IT WAS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. REQUESTED A COMPANY TO REPAIR CRACK, BUT REPRESENTATIVE UNABLE TO REPAIR CRACK DUE TO LOCATION BEING ABOVE THE AIRBAG. UPON FUTURE INVESTIGATION I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT OTHER CAMARO OWNERS HAVE SAME HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE EXACT LOCATION ON THEIR DASHBOARDS. FOR THE CRACK TO OCCUR IN THE SAME LOCATION ON DIFFERENT VEHICLES LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DASHBOARD. THE CRACK IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND I FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY DUE TO THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT BECOMING COMPROMISED.

EARLIER IN 2018, THE CAR WAS INTERMITTENTLY THROWING A P008 CODE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH NO NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE IN THE MILEAGE OR RUNNING. IT WOULD COME ON, THEN GO OFF FOR WEEKS. OIL WAS CHANGED EVERY 3-5000 MILES. NOW THE LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF, SHOWING ONLY THE SAME CODE OF P008. I CAN NOT PASS YEARLY STATE EMISSION INSPECTIONS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THE LOCAL GM SHOP INDICATED THAT THE CODE MEANS THAT I NEED A NEW TIMING CHAIN. I HAVE THE 3.6 LITER MOTOR WITH 92000 MILES. FOR OTHER GM MODELS WITH THIS ISSUE AND THE 3.6 L MOTOR, GM EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY AND COVERED THE COST OF REPLACING THE TIMING BELT, BUT THEY EXCLUDED THE CAMARO. I HAVE RECEIVED ESTIMATED COSTS OF 1200 TO 2100 TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN. THIS COST IS MORE MONEY THAN I HAVE, BUT I MAY NOT HAVE A CHOICE. I DO NOT WANT TO BE ON THE ROAD WHEN THE TIMING CHAIN BREAKS AND I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSTATE TRAFFIC.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 CHEVY CAMARO SS ON THE INTERSTATE HOME FROM WORK ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST POWER ALL MY INTERIOR LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS STARTED TO FLASH ON AND OFF CAR WOULD SURGE THEN LOSE POWER THAN SURGE LOSE POWER STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT HAD NO BRAKES MERGED OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO TRY TO GET INTO A SAFE POSITION AND WAS CALLING NINE-ONE-ONE WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE LEFT FRONT COMPARTMENT OF THE CAMARO UNDER THE HOOD AND THEN THE SMOKE TURN TO A RUST BURNT LOOKING COLOR AND THEN NOTICED THAT THE HOOD WAS STARTING TO BANNED FROM THE HEAT UNDERNEATH IT AND AT THIS TIME I TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE BUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS BURNT AND HAD TO USE A PAIR OF PLIERS TO OPEN UP THE DOOR LOCK BECAUSE MY INTERIOR DOOR LOCKS WOULD NOT FUNCTION GOT OUT OF THE CAR CALLED NINE-ONE-ONE AND WITHIN 5 MINUTES THERE WAS FLAMES COMING UP FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD THE HOOD KIND OF POPPED OPEN AND FLAMES TOOK OVER THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE TRUCK OF COURSE GOT THE FIRE OUT BUT THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS

THE HID HEADLAMPS ON THE 2010 CAMERO SS ARE NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE THE ROAD WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. GM WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE ENTIRE LIGHT ASSEMBLY ON THIS MODEL AND YEAR CAR. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE ASSEMBLY, REFLECTOR BOWL WAS OBSERVED TO BE DAMAGED BY EXTREME HEAT CAUSED BY THE FACTORY BULBS THIS HEAT CAUSED CRACKING AND DAMAGE TO THE REFLECTIVE COATING MAKING THE LIGHTS VERY DIM. THE LENSES ARE CLEAR AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT IT IS POOR ASSEMBLY THAT GM SHOULD WARRANTY FOR A CAR THAT IS 8 YEARS OLD. THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE BAD FACTORY LIGHT ASSEMBLY.

THE IMAGE YOU SEE IS AN EXAMPLE OF AN AIRBAG THAT A LADY SUFFERED FROM YOUR RECENT RECALLED AIRBAG TAMARA. I HAVE SIMILAR EVIDENCE IN THE SAME EXACT AND LENGTH AND WIDTH CUT AS SHE DOES... I WAS A PASSENGER IN THIS CAR THAT BECOME OUT OF CONTROL, ALSO AN IGNITION RECALL WAS PROVEN TO HURT PEOPLE IN THE 2010 CAMARO. I WASN'T THE DRIVE SO ALL I KNOW IS DRIVER LOST CONTROL AN RAN ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD INTO THE GRASS, FLUSH GROUND, INBETWEN A FENCE AND THE ROAD HAD 100-200 FT TO BRAKE AND TURN THE CAR BACK ON THE ROAD AVOIDING A COLVERT. BUT INSTEAD MAJOR MALFUNCTION.FRONTAL AIRBAGS WENT OFF AT THE WRONG TIME, ALSO EVIDENCE SHOWS AIRBAG CUT MY THROAT, ALSO SIDE AND SUNROOF AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! VEHICLE WENT AIRBORN, ALL ENDS OF VEHICLE WAS IMPACTED. NOTE. PASSENGER! NOT OWNER!

HID LIGHT OUTPUT IS VERY POOR. PURCHASED CAR USED IN APRIL OF 2015 LIGHTING WAS VERY GOOD, NOW 3 YEARS LATER THE FORWARD LIGHTING IS VERY POOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE ODOR OF BURNING PLASTIC WAS PRESENT. TWO DAYS LATER, THE WARNING INDICATOR FOR THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (ROGER DEAN CHEVROLET, 101 SW PINE ISLAND ROAD, CAPE CORAL, FL 33991) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,977.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A POLE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A LEFT ARM INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CULBERSON AUTOS (805 N HOBART ST, PAMPA, TX 79065, (806) 665-1665). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V346000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION KEY SWITCH WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. - (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

I HAVE THE V6 2010 CAMARO AND LIKE MANY OTHERS THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE WEB HAVE THE P0008 ERROR CODE FOR PREMATURE TIMING CHAIN WEAR THAT STARTED AT AROUND 80K MILES. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ISSUED ON JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER CAR THAT HAS THIS ENGINE IN IT. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT GM WOULD NOT ISSUE IT ON THIS CAR AS WELL FULL ON KNOWING THAT THIS WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE GM 6.2L LS ENGINE HAS A SERIOUS DEFECT WITH THE VALVE TRAIN THAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO DROP VALVES INTO THE CYLINDER, AND LOCK UP THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. THE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT MAKES THE ENGINE OPERATE ON LESS CYLINDERS WHILE AT CRUISING SPEEDS, CAUSES THE LIFTERS TO STICK. THIS RESULTS IN EXCESSIVE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE VALVE AND ROCKER ARM, AND THE BEATING ACTION KNOCKS THE KEEPERS OUT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE VALVE DROPS INTO THE CYLINDER, AND THE ENGINE LOCKS UP. THIS PRIMARILY HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WHICH RESULTS IN LOSS OF STEERING, LOSS OF BRAKES, AND IN CASES LIKE MINE WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, WHEN THE ENGINE LOCKS UP, THE REAR WHEELS ALSO LOCK UP, AND THE VEHICLE SLIDES OUT OF CONTROL. THIS HAPPENED, IT WAS RAINING, ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF DIVIDED 4 LANE, AT 55MPH, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE OFF THE ROAD, AND ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS ON A SATURDAY MORNING AND THERE WAS VERY LIMITED TRAFFIC, WE WERE NOT INJURED OR KILLED. I SPECIAL ORDERED THIS VEHICLE FROM GM, IT WAS SERVICED ONLY AT THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS PURCHASED, AND WAS TREATED WITH EXTREME CARE FROM DAY ONE. BEING THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, THE DEALERSHIP MADE AN ESTIMATE THAT IT WILL TAKE $8,200 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, AND IT ONLY HAD 51,000 MILES AT THE TIME. AFTER THIS HAPPENED TO MINE, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS SITUATION IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE 6.2L LS ENGINES. GM HAS DONE NOTHING BUT TURN THEIR BACKS TO MILLIONS OF CUSTOMERS WHO ARE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT CA

MY CAR IS REACHING 50K MILES I BOUGHT IT USED AND HAD IT FOR THE PAST YEARS AND HAVE BEEN RUNNING INTO A PROBLEM RECENTLY WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE TRANSMISSION LIKE TODAY THAT THE CAR IS GRINDING WHEN SHIFTING INTO 2 GEAR AND HAS DONE IT IN THE PAST AND GOT STUCK ONCE IN TRAFFIC LUCKLY NO ACCIDENT BUT LIKE TODAY I WENT IN A TRIP AND GRINDED LIKE 5TIMES BUT HAPPY TO HAVE NOT RAN INTO ANY ACCIDENTS.SO I'M HERE DOING THIS BECAUSE I DID QUITE SOME RESEARCH AND I KNOW A LOT OF OWNERS OF THIS CAR HAVE RUN INTO THIS PROBLEM AND REALLY CAN COST A LIFE.MAIN REASON I'M DOING THIS IS BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT CHEVY DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO FIX IT OR AN ANSWER.WHICH THEY HAVE TO BE PUSHED INTO HELPING US FIX THIS PROBLEM WHICH CAN CAUSE LIFE ISSUES PERHAPS FOR SOMEONE.ONCE AGAIN THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT HAVE HASN'T FIXED ACCORDING TO MYSELF AND A QUITE OF FEW PEOPLE.I'M WILLING TO TAKE ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO FIX MY ISSUE .THANKS

THE REAR DRIVESHAFT BOLTS BETWEEN THE GUIBO AND THE PINION FLANGE SHEERED CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY FUEL TANK SHIELD, DRIVE SHAFT, AND FLANGE. OUT OF WARRANTY AND HAD BILL CRISPIN PERFORM WARRANTY WORK ON THE COMPONENTS FOR A DRIVETRAIN CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP IN STOP AND GO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN THE CONCERN OCCURRED ON FORD ROAD WHERE IT INTERSECTS I-275.

VEHICLE HAS HAD A CODE OF P008 INTERMITTENTLY THEN PERMANENTLY SINCE 68000 MILES, IT IS NOW AT 99,500 MILES. THE CODE RELATES TO TIMING CHAIN STRETCHING WHICH IS CAUSING ENGINE MISFIRE. SAME PROBLEM WITH IDENTICAL ENGINE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED IN FORM OF WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR SEVERAL VEHICLES, INCLUDING CADILLAC CTS, EXTENDING WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 120K MILES. THIS HAS NOT BEEN DONE FOR THE CAMARO FOR REASONS WHICH ELUDE ME. OCCASIONAL PROBLEMS WITH STALLING AND REDUCED POWER (ESPECIALLY IN SITUATIONS REQUIRING THE ADDITIONAL POWER), AS WELL AS ENGINE "ROUGHNESS" CERTAINLY CAUSE SAFETY CONCERNS FOR ME. IN ADDITION, THE PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SAFETY BAG SEAT PAD SENSOR HAS BEEN ONGOING AND IS ALSO NOT RECALLED, ALTHOUGH THE SYSTEM KEEPS PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF IN THE PRESENCE OF A PASSENGER DUE TO A SHORT IN THE PAD, ALSO WELL-DOCUMENTED AND CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD. THE INTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEM IS SIMPLY A NUISANCE AND NOT A SAFETY CONCERN AT THIS TIME. THE COST OF REPAIRS IS STAGGERING, AND I'VE NEVER SEEN AN INSTANCE WHERE A TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DURING THE EXPECTED OPERATING PERIOD OF A VEHICLE WITH NORMAL USE. CLEARLY IT IS A DESIGN FLAW WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, AS IT HAS BEEN WITH OTHER VEHICLES UTILIZING THIS ENGINE. THE NUMBER OF INSTANCES WHICH GO UNREPORTED AND SIMPLY GET REPAIRED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE IS ALSO QUITE SIGNIFICANT, ACCORDING TO THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM STARTED INTERMITTENTLY IN LATE 2016 AND HAS BECOME A C

2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO V6 PREMATURE TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT. AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FROM SANDY SANSING CHEVROLET IN PENSACOLA, FL, I WAS NOTIFIED THE THE ERROR CODE P0008 NEEDING REPLACEMENT OF A NEW TIMING CHAIN KIT. MY CAMARO ONLY HAD 97,000 MILES AND I WAS OCD ON MY OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE. I FILED A CASE WITH GM AND MY CASE WAS DENIED. A SIMPLE SEARCH ONLINE OF 2010 CHEVY CAMARO TIMING CHAIN RESULTS IN AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE 2010 CHEVY CAMARO HAVING THE WORST PROBLEMS COMPARED TO OTHER CHEVROLET PRODUCTS, WITH THE #1 PROBLEM RESULTING IN COMPLAINTS OF THE PREMATURE TIMING CHAIN WEAR. GM VEHICLES INCLUDING THE BUICK ENCLAVE, CHEVROLET TRAVERSE, GMC ACADIA, AND SATURN OUTLOOK OBTAINING THE GM 3.6 LITER V6 LLT ENGINE WAS ISSUED A BULLETIN ON 02/09/2011 TO ALL GM DEALERS MARKED URGENT- DISTRIBUTE IMMEDIATELY. SUBJECT PREMATURE TIMING CHAIN WEAR- PROGRAM. GM ANNOUNCES KNOWLEDGE OF FAULTY TIMING CHAINS, HOWEVER REFUSING TO INCLUDE THE 2010 CAMARO V6 3.6 LITER LLT ENGINE. ACCORDING TO MASTER MECHANICS SEARCH ONLINE REGARDING THIS ENGINE... TIMING CHAINS ARE DESIGNED TO OPERATE AT TWICE THE MAX ENGINE OIL TEMP AND AT 2X THE EXPECTED ENGINE LIFE. 97,000 MILES IS NOT AN EXPECTED ENGINE LIFE. THE MERE FAXT THAT THESE ENGINES STARTED SEEING CHAIN FAILURES IN SOME CASES UNDER 10,000 MILES PROVES DEFINITIVELY THAT THERE WAS AT THE VERY LEAST A QUALITY DEFECT WITH THE TIMING CHAINS IN THESE ENGINES . GM REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY OF THEIR D

TAMARA RECALL. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON THE AC IS ON AND OFF.

PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES ANY TIME SOMEONE SITS IN PASSENGER SEAT OF CAR.

ENGINE STALLS WHILE ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC AND WON'T RESTART.

P0008 TIMING CHAIN CODE COMING UP FOR V6 ENGINE (2LT MODEL) AT 70K MILES. READING SEVERAL FORUMS AND RESEARCHING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON OTHER GMS WITH THE SAME PART. WHILE THEY GRANTED 10 YEAR/120K WARRANTY FOR OTHER MODELS, THE CAMARO IS LEFT OUT. COST IS ANYWHERE FROM $1800-$3000. NOT SURE WHY CAMAROS ARE NOT BEING INCLUDED WITHIN THE RECALL WHEN WE HAVE TO SAME PARTS AND ISSUES. PLEASE ASSIST!!!

VEHICLE OVERHEATING RESULTING IN SHUTDOWN - I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO 2 GM DEALERSHIPS WHO FIRST REPLACED THE WATER PUMP AND FLUSHED THE SYSTEM AFTER THE VEHICLE STRANDED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY INTERSECTION. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP I HEARD THE FANS STARTUP AND THE TEMPERATURE ROSE TO 250F+ IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND INITIATED AN ENGINE SHUTOFF PROCEDURE, WHICH CUTS OFF ALL POWER TO THE CAR. AT THAT POINT I WAS DEAD IN AN INTERSECTION OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND DOES NOT INITIATE A EVENT TO THE CAR'S COMPUTER. THE GM DEALER SAID THEY CONSIDER AN OVERHEATING EVENT A NOTICE AND NOT A WARNING EVENT SO IT IS NOT RECORDED ON THE CARS COMPUTER EVEN THOUGH IT CAUSES THE CAR TO BE SHUTDOWN. THIS HAS OCCURRED 2 TIMES IN THE 6 MONTHS AND I HAVE REPLACED THE WATER PUMP, RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP, FLUSHED THE SYSTEM ALL ON ADVICE FROM THE GM DEALER TO CORRECT FOR THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AS I GOT TO A BORDER CHECKPOINT RESULTING IN ME BEING STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY FOR AN 1.5 HOURS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A ANOTHER GM DEALER WHO TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY DON'T SEEN TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE AS THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE WHEN I BRING THE CAR INTO THEM AND THERE IS NO EVENT FOR THEM TO TRACK.

THE HID HEADLAMPS ON THE 2010 CAMARO SS/RS WERE NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH USABLE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE ROAD CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. CONDITION WAS UNBEARABLE AS DRIVER COULD NOT SEE ENOUGH LIGHT ON THE ROAD IN JUST THIS CAR. UPON REMOVAL AND INSPECTION OF HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY, REFLECTOR BOWL WAS OBSERVED TO BE DAMAGED BY HEAT WITH CRACKS AND REFLECTIVE COATING MISSING IN CERTAIN AREAS. ALL LENSES WERE CLEAR AND INTACT, WITH JUST THE REFLECTOR BOWL BEING DAMAGED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 96,000.

WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE LAST WEEK. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, MY "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT IS ON. TALKED WITH THE MECHANIC AND HE SHOWED ME EVERYTHING HE HAD TOUCHED ON MY VEHICLE. TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN ABERDEEN MD AND THEY SAID THAT AN OIL CHANGE WOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH THE AIRBAG SENSOR. ONE OF THE SERVICE GUYS TOLD ME IT IS NORMALLY A WIRE THAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. THEY SCHEDULED ME FOR AN APPOINTMENT FOR MONDAY BUT AFTER DOING RESEARCH I DECIDED TO HOLD OFF. I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD BE FIXING A SAFETY ISSUE, PLUS I AM SEEING THIS COMMON IN THESE CARS. WHAT ARE CHEVY'S PLANS TO FIX? I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY 11 YEAR OLD SON AROUND IN A CAR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A DEATH TRAP FOR HIM.

WELL WHEN I SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR IT WON'T GO INTO 2ND AND SEEMS TO LOCK OUT OF ALL GEARS. HAVE TO STOP COMPLETE AND RETRY TO TAKE OFF. PLEASE HELP

ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, SEVERAL CODES, THREE OF WHICH HAVE A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. CODES ARE P0007, P0008, P0017. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER IS 374076. VEHICLE HAS LOSS OF POWER. DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE FOR FEAR OF THROWING OFF THE TIMING SINCE ALL OF THESE INVOLVES POSITIONING SENSORS FOR THE CAMSHAFT AND CRANK SHAFT.

PASSENGER SIDE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON ANYTIME I PLACE SOMETHING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT OR WHEN SOMEONE SITS DOWN. THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT IN THE AIRBAG OR AIRBAG SENSOR AND HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. IT HAS BEEN ON SINCE CAR HAD ABOUT 38K MILES ON IT. IT IS ON AT ALL TIMES. WAS INTERMITTINGLY AT FIRST WHEN SOMEONE SAT IN PASSENGER SEAT. I KNOW THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE A PART OF IT.

MY VEHICLE HAS 40,970 MILES ON IT AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAY SENSOR FAILING WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT, BUT NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR WHICH HAS LESS MILES ON IT. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM THAT CHEVY IS AWARE OF AND THAT THEY HAVE NOT MADE ANY CHANGES TO THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAG SENSORS TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT. THE SENSOR COSTS OVER $400.00 TO REPLACE.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND ALARM CAME ON AND OFF IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN SOME ONE IS SITTING IN IT, AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME, SO APPARENTLY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT ON OR WILL NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, SO APPARENTLY THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT IS NOT WORKING AND IN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A MAJOR COMPLAINT FOR THIS MODEL CAMARO AND I HEAR IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX IF ITS FIXABLE AT ALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COMMUNITY CHEVROLET (200 W OLIVE AVE, BURBANK, CA 91502) WHERE IT WAS ALSO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE CONTACT SHOULD SPEAK WITH NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

I HAD A AIR BAG SERVICE, LIGHT COME ON FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT, AFTER I PICKED MY SON UP, HE SAT DOWN PUT ON HIS SEAT BELT, THEN I GOT THE SERVICE AIR BAG ON MY DASH, AND THE LIGHT OVER THE REAR VIEW MIRROR WENT FROM ON TO OFF, AND STAYED OFF. I CALLED ONSTAR TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, AND THEY SAID YES THEIR SHOWING A TSB CODE OF BOO81, AND AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I FINED THAT THIS AN ON GOING ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT MY CHEVY DEALER, TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE, THEN CONTACT GM AGAIN, TO SEE IF THEIR GOING TO COVER THIS, BUT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SAID MY CAR ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY, I LET THEM NO IT'S NOT A MATTER OF WARRANTY, IT'S A MATTER OF SAFETY AND SHOULDN'T MATTER IF IT'S A WARRANTY ISSUE, SOMETHING IS DEFECTIVE, AND GM SHOULD FIX THIS AS A DEFECTIVE PART OR PARTS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, I PLAN ON BRING IT TO THE DEALER WEDNESDAY 21 JUNE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. WHICH WILL COST ABOUT $150.00 DOLLARS, JUST TO FINED WHAT PART OF THE AIRBAG SYS IS DEFECTIVE, GM SHOULD FIX THIS, FOR IT IS A MATTER OF SAFETY NOT WARRANTY RELATED ISSUE.

P0008 & P0017 ENGINE CODE ON 3.6 V 6 DIAGNOSED BY DEALER TO BE STRETCHED TIMING CHAINS. 52,724 MILES COST TO FIX $3000. OTHER GM VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINE EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 10 YEARS 120,000 MILES. CAMARO NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN RECALL.

AIR BAGS WARNING ON DASH IS INDICATING A ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG. CHEVROLET WANTS OVER A 1000 DOLLARS TO FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS GM TO STEP UP AND REPAIR. POTENTIAL INGURY DUE TO NO AIR BAG INFLATION AT CRASH

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE 680 FREEWAY WHEN MY GIRLFRIEND AND I HEARD ALMOST LIKE A GUNSHOT SOUND RIGHT ABOVE OUR HEADS SO WE OPENED OUR SUNROOF COVER TO FIND OUT OUR SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. THE TINT ON MY WINDOW IS LUCKILY KEEPING IT TOGETHER FOR NOW.

IN FIRST THREE YEARS, THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION MODULE WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES. ON THE THIRD TIME, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE IGNITION WIRING HARNESS WAS NOT FOR A CAMARO. IT WAS INCORRECTLY INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. SECONDLY, JUST THREE WEEKS AGO, FOUR OF MY CAR'S SIX FUEL INJECTORS WENT BAD. MY CAR ONLY HAD 74,000 MILES ON IT. ALL SIX INJECTORS WERE REPLACED AT MY COST OF $2812.00! OUTRAGEOUS! BOTH TIMES, MY CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A CITY STREET.

THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" WARNING INDICATOR TURNS ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON FOR DAYS/ WEEKS, SOMETIMES IT TURNS OF FOR A FEW MINUTES. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS ABOUT 64K MILES ON IT, AND IT STARTED HAPPENING AT ABOUT 50K. I HAVE YET HAD IT REPAIRED AS I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY AL;MOST $1500 TO $1900 TO REPAIR THIS. I AM AWARE OF A CLASS ACTION AGAINST GM FOR THIS ISSUE, AND I HOPE THE PLAINTIFFS WIN AND THE SETTLEMENT CAUSES GM TO HAVE TO RECALL ALL OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS TO REPAIR THE ISSUE AT NO COST TO THE OWNERS, REGARDLESS OF YEARS AND MILAGE OWNED, WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL OWNERNER OR NOT.
