2010 Chevrolet Camaro complaints

I TOOK MY CAR IN AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED DUE TO MY CAR RUNNING LOUDER THAN NORMAL AND PROBLEMS WITH THE IDLING OF THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW TIMING CHAINS AND IT WOULD BE ANYWHERE FROM 2-3 THOUSAND DOLLARS. I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING AND SEE THAN A LOT OF PEOPLE HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TIMING CHAINS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT GM HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES FOR OTHER CARS MADE AROUND THE SAME TIME AS MY VEHICLE FOR TIMING CHAINS. WHEN IS GM GOING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM OF THE TIMING CHAINS ON THE CAMARO AS IT HAS THE OTHER MODELS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS RIDICULOUS FOR GM TO EXPECT THE BUYER TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND NOT CAUSED DUE TO ANYTHING DONE BY THE BUYER. *TR

DUE TO A STRUCTURAL DEFECT OF THE CAR , WATER ACCUMULATED AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED COMPLETELY. THE DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THAT THERE WAS A STRUCTURAL DEFECT RELATED TO THE SUNROOF . THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER SINCE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED . THEREFORE THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING , AND I WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE CAR SINCE ALL POWER FAILED . THIS WAS AN IMMEDIATE LIFE THREATENING DANGER . THE DEALERSHIP " REPAIRED " THE PROBLEM AFTER AN EXTENSIVE ASSESSMENT WHICH INCLUDED CORRESPONDENCE WITH GENERAL MOTORS . THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $1200 . MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS MAY BE A LIFE THREATENING SAFETY HAZARD IN OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL . I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED THE FULL AMOUNT OF THIS REPAIR SINCE THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT . THE OUTCOME OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC . PLEASE ADVISE ME ON HOW I WOULD IMPLEMENT THE PROCESS OF REIMBURSEMENT . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V346000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE. UPDATED 7/9/15*CN UPDATED 10/11/2017*CN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THIRD OR FORTH GEAR. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS THERE HAS BEEN A TEAR IN THE TOP OF THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IT APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING UNDER THE DASH IS PUSHING UP TO CREATE THE SLIT IN THE DASH. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT IS THE AIRBAG AND I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS GETTING READY TO GO OFF ON ITS OWN OR EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT AS IT IS GROWING. THE SLIT OR TEAR IS APROX. 4 INCHES LONG AND THE BUMP UP IS TO THE RIGHT OF IT. *TR

AIR BAG SENSOR BEGAN GOING OFF ON MY 2010 CAMARO ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ALMOST $1000 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHICH AIRBAG SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THEY ALSO COULD NOT TELL ME IF THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY IF VEHICLE IS HIT. THEY DID LOOK FOR AIR BAG RECALLS AND FOUND NONE; HOWEVER, THE FACT THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE IF THEY AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT I AM ASKING YOU TO LOOK INTO. A CAR THIS NEW SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANY SAFETY ISSUES. ALL SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AT THE GM DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. *TR

2/25/15 - (CAMARO 2010 SS2, AUTO) UPON STARTUP THE "CHECK AIRBAG " ALARM SOUNDED AND DISPLAYED FOR ABOUT 5-8 SECONDS, AND THEN NORMALIZED. I DROVE ABOUT TOWN 15-20 MILES WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. 3/3/15 - WHILE DRIVING UNTO CITY STREET, THE "CHECK AIRBAG" ALARM SOUNDED AND FLASHED A MOMENTARY NOTICE TO HAVE AIRBAG SERVICED. I DROVE ABOUT 350 MILES, STOPPING AND STARTING AT VARIOUS TIMES WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENCE. 3/14/15 - WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET (ABOUT 2 MILES FROM HOME), THE SAME OCCURRENCE AS ABOVE WAS NOTED. I KEEP MY CAMARO SPOTLESS AND MOSTLY IN THE GARAGE. I'VE DISMISSED THESE INCIDENTS, BUT AFTER READING OTHER REPORTS OF SIMILAR RESPONSES, I FEEL COMPELLED TO MAKE OFFICIAL NOTE THEREOF. *TR

I HAVE WHAT I BELIEVE A HEATER CORE GOING BAD. WITH THE HEAT ON I HAVE A VERY STRONG MAPLE SYRUP SMELL AND MY WINDSHIELD FOGS UP REALLY BAD WHEN IT IS COLD OUT. I ONLY HAVE 30K MILES ON MY CAMARO AND RARELY USE THE HEAT. IT IS OBVIOUSLY LEAKING. IT US A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT CAN GET DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN YOUR ENTIRE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP, ALSO BREATHING IN THE ANTIFREEZE FUMES. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR CAME ON. IT GOES ON/OFF AT WILL. IT APPEARS AFTER READING OTHER POST, THAT THIS IS A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE SEAT AND THE DEALERS KNOW ABOUT IT. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL? I AM NOT SURE IF AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY ACCIDENTALLY OR IF IT WON'T DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT. EITHER WAY, IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT, THEY ARE SURE THE GET INJURED. *TR

THIS CAR IS ONLY DRIVEN IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. ON OCCASION I TAKE IT OUT WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE AND THERE ISN'T ANY SNOW JUST TO WASH IT AND RUN IT BECAUSE IT STAYS PARKED IN THE WINTER. WHILE I WAS OUT,THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IT NEEDS A TIMING CHAIN ALREADY AND IT WILL COST BETWEEN 800.00-1,000.00 TO FIX. OF COURSE IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE 5 YEAR/ 100,000 MILE WARRANTY BECAUSE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN 2009 WHICH IS OVER THE 5 YEARS BUT STILL UNDER THE MILEAGE. I DID MY RESEARCH ON IT AND THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE TIMING BELT ON THESE ENGINES BUT GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE CONSUMERS ARE DISHING OUT MORE MONEY. THIS IS SOMETHING GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS! *TR

DRIVING A 2010 CHEVY CAMARO, MY REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY VEHICLE WENT FROM 60 MPH TO 30 INSTANTLY ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ ON THE FORUMS AND THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO A TON OF GM CHEVY CAR OWNERS. THIS COULD CAUSE SOMEBODY TO DIE, AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. SAVE LIVES DO SOMETHING. REDUCED ENGINE POWER SERVICE STABILITRAK ( THIS WAS THE ISSUE ). *JS

THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

UPDATED 04/10/15*LJ

I WAS GOING FOR A DRIVE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL WHEN THE ACCELERATOR STUCK. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL WAS A BUMP IN THE ROAD. AFTER HITTING THE BUMP THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. I HAD NO BRAKES AND NO STEERING. I THEN SKID OFF THE ROAD INTO A TREE. THERE WAS ONE INJURY, A LADY IN THE BACK SEAT PASSENGER SIDE HIT HER HEAD ON THE BACK OF THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. SHE HAD A HUGE GOOSE EGG ON TOP OF HER HEAD AND A BLACK EYE. *TR

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

TRUNK LATCH JUST STOPPED OPENING TRUNK. IT STILL MAKE THE SOUND THAT IT ALWAYS MADE BUT IT DOESN'T RELEASE THE LID. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE TRUNK IS TO PULL THE EMERGENCY TRUNK RELEASE INSIDE THE TRUNK AS THERE IS NO MANUAL KEY OPERATED RELEASE OF THE TRUNK FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUNK. MANY OTHERS HAVE VOICED THIS EXACT COMPLAINT POSTED ONLINE ON AUTOMOBILE FORUMS. ALSO REPLACING THE BULBS IN THE HEADLIGHTS SEEMS TO PRODUCE VERY POOR LIGHT FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. THE REPLACEMENT BULBS WERE 4300K HID BULBS 35W JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURERS EQUIPMENT, PURCHASED FROM A VERY RESPECTABLE PARTS SUPPLY COMPANY. *TR

2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO GM IGNITION RECALL* THE CONSUMER STATED THE REPAIR WAS NOT ACTUALLY A FIX AT ALL. PORTIONS OF THE KEY WERE REMOVED AND A SEPARATE KEY WAS ATTACHED BY TWO SMALL KEYS RINGS. THE IGNITION WAS NOT REPAIRED IN ANY WAY. *JB

I NOTICED COOLANT LEAKING INTO PASSENGER FLOORBOARD. THE CAR WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A LEAKING HEATER CORE. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER CAMARO OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE, AND DURING MY RESEARCH FOUND A GM TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS HEATER CORE FAILURE. (# PIP-5457A) THE DEALERSHIP IS WANTING TO CHARGE FOR THE NEW HEATER CORE, A WINDSHIELD AND LABOR. *TR

MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT LOOKED AT. THEY TOLD ME IT IS JUST A SENSOR AND YOU NEED TO PAY $900 FOR US TO FIX IT. I DON'T HAVE $900. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I NOTICE MY DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTING TO CRACK A BIT AND THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER A SEE MY DASH IS NOW STARTING TO BULGE AND IT HAS A OUTLINE WHERE MY AIR BAG IS. I AM TERRIFIED THAT IT IS GOING TO DEPLOY WHILE I'M DRIVING AND MY WIFE OR A CHILD IS IN THE SEAT WHEN IT BLOWS. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS BLOGS CONCERNING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAGS AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS NOT ALREADY A RECALL ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND SHIFTING FROM SECOND TO THIRD GEAR, THE CLUTCH BECAME STUCK. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RELEASE THE CLUTCH BUT THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT FUNCTION AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT A Y SHAPED JUNCTION, THE POWER TO THE 2010 CAMARO SHUT OFF. DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR OR STOP, AND THE CAR SLAMMED INTO A BLOCK WALL AT 30 MPH. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. PASSENGER WAS UNCONSCIOUS AND TAKEN VIA AMBULANCE TO HOSPITAL FOR CONCUSSION SYMPTOMS. DRIVER SUFFERED INJURIES TO NECK AND UPPER BACK, ALSO REQUIRING MEDICAL ATTENTION. BOTH WERE WEARING SEAT BELTS, BOTH STILL BEING TREATED FOR INJURIES SUSTAINED. *TR

SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF WHILE DRIVING . CALLED SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY SAID MAKE SURE NOTHING IS UNDER SEATS THAT COULD OBSTRUCT THE SEAT SENSORS. CHECKED NOTHING THERE. LIGHT STILL ON. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WOULD MAKE AIR BAGS INOPERABLE, WOULDN'T DEPLOY AIR BAGS. IN CASE OF ACCIDENT. IS IT NORMAL TO SERVICE AIR BAGS AT A CERTAIN MILEAGE POINT. I AM FINDING ONLINE MANY OF THE CAMARO'S SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS I AM. I DON'T WANT TO BE DRIVING WHEN THEY DECIDE TO GO OFF . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN AN OCCUPANT WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

2010 CAMARO RS, V6 MANUAL TRANSMISSION: PASSED A CAR AND TRIED TO SHIFT DOWN BUT THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT SHIFT THE CAR DOWN TO 5TH. TRIED CLUTCH AGAIN AND ALL IT WOULD DO WAS MOVE AROUND AND NEVER CATCH. SAME WITH THE STICK SHIFT. IT WOULD NOT GO INTO ANY SPEED. IT WAS LIKE THE CLUTCH, WOULD MOVE AROUND FROM 1ST - 6TH LIKE THIS WAS A TOY I WAS TRYING TO SHIFT. ALSO, I COULD NOT BRAKE THE CAR WITH THE REGULAR BRAKE OR EMERGENCY BRAKE. WHILE THIS WAS GOING ON MY CAR WAS INCREASING IN SPEED AND THE MOTOR REVVED TO THE POINT I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO EXPLODE. THE ONLY WAY I COULD STOP IT WAS TO TURN THE CAR OFF. WHEN I DID THIS L LOST STEERING AND HEADLIGHTS. COASTED TO A STOP FINALLY. HAD ONSTAR RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ON ALL THE CAR AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS SHOWING UP OK. TALKED TO ROADSIDE AND THEY SAID WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING WAS A BURNED CLUTCH. THE CAR SMELLED LIKE IT WAS ON FIRE. TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL FOR $2400. I HAVE TO PAY BIG DOLLARS FOR A REPAIR THAT ALMOST KILLED ME, AND NOW I FIND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. COME ON GM YOU GOT LUCKY WITH ME OR YOU COULD OF HAD ANOTHER FATALITY. *TR

FOR THE PASSED FEW MONTH I'VE NOTICE MY PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR HASN'T BEEN WORKING RIGHT, BUT NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING MAJOR ABOUT IT. I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN MY PASSENGER SEAT SO IT WASN'T A PROBLEM AT FIRST. NOW IT'S BECOME ANNOYING AND MAKE ME FEEL BAD ABOUT MY CAR. I JUST TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME WHAT I ALREADY KNEW THAT THE MODULE HAS A DEFECT. *TR

THE DASH IS CRACKED AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG DOORS AND I'M CONCERNED WITH THE OPERATION OF AIRBAG IF IN A ACCIDENT AND THE MUFFLER IS COMING APART WITH ONLY 27000 MILES. *TR

IT APPEARS THE HEATER CORE IS LEAKING AFTER ALMOST 109,000 MILES. REPLACED THE HEATER HOSE DUE TO LEAK APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AGO. COOLANT SMELL INSIDE THE CAR. DAMP/SMELL OF COOLANT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. SEEMS MANY 5TH GENERATION CAMARO OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE. NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE THAT I CAN FIND? *TR

ON OCTOBER 8TH THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHILE RUNNING ( SOUTH TEXAS HEAT I WANTED TO COOL THE CAR OFF ). THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 6SPD MANUAL TRANSMISSION THEREFORE THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL, THE HAND BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. AS I WALKED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY I HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE. IT WAS LOUD ENOUGH TO CAUSE ALARM, WHEN I LOOKED BACK AT MY VEHICLE IT WAS ROLLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY & INTO THE STREET. I WAS ABLE TO JUMP IN & APPLY THE BRAKE BEFORE IT CAUSED ANY DAMAGE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED & REPAIRED, I EXPLAINED TO THE LADY WHO ASSISTED ME WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, SHE WANTED ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN ON 4 DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT. I FOUND THIS TO BE UNACCEPTABLE. SINCE THIS WAS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE I WAS NOT WILLING TO WAIT THAT LONG TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I TOOK IT IN ON THE 9TH & WAS TOLD ON THE 10TH THAT THE CABLE TO MY HAND/PARKING BRAKE HAD INDEED FAILED & BUSTED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY GM. I ASKED HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED ON A 4YR OLD CAR THAT IS USUALLY PARKED ON FLAT SURFACES & IN GEAR WITH THE HANDBRAKE ENGAGED AS THE OWNERS MANUAL SUGGEST. I WAS NOT GIVEN AN ANSWER, I HAVE REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO GM'S & AM WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS OVERHEATED AND MELTED THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSEMBLIES. THE HEAT ALSO CAUSED THE REAR PLASTIC BUMPER TO MELT IN A SMALL AREA AT ONE ASSEMBLY. *TR

AIRBAG WARNING FIRST STARTED APPEARING ON THE CAR. NOW IS OFF AND ON CONTINUOUSLY REPORTING. WHY IS A RELATIVELY COMMON FAULT ON SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY COMPONENT NOT A RECALL? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 100 MPH, THE FRONT BUMPER SPLITTER COMPLETELY DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,006.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE IMMOBILIZER INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,188.

CLUTCH PEDAL STAYED LOW TO THE FLOOR INTERMITTENTLY AND STAYS LOW DURING HARD ACCELERATION FOR A STOP AND DURING A SHIFT. THE 9/1/2014 INCIDENT I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 70 MPH AND DOWN SHIFTED FOR EXITING. THE CLUTCH STAYED TO THE FLOOR AS I CAME TO A STOP AND WOULD NOT RETURN. CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. CLUTCH STILL DID NOT RETURN TO OPERATING POSITION. I HAD TO SPEED SHIFT THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE IT TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR. REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AND HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND A SAFETY ISSUE. IF A DRIVER PANICKED IN THIS SITUATION IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THE CAR AND POSSIBLY OTHER TRAVELERS. *TR

STRANGE SMELL COMING FROM AC FOR A WHILE. 2 WEEKS AGO AC STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS THE EVAPORATOR CORE. HE REPLACED IT AND IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE AND TEDIOUS JOB. READ SOME FORUM AND OTHER WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME SMELL AND EVENTUALLY THE SAME PROBLEM. A CAR WITH ONLY 60,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ALSO, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FRONT FASCIA OF THE VEHICLE SLAMMED TO THE GROUND AND THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. IN ANOTHER INCIDENT, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH AND MAKING A U-TURN, THE CONTACT CRASHED THE VEHICLE OVER A CURB. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER DAUGHTER FAILED DRIVING EXAMS THREE TIMES DUE TO THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

I TOOK MY CAR INTO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AFTER I NOTICED MY ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE NOISES. A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER, I GOT A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS ENGINE DAMAGE. THE SERVICE EMPLOYEE ASKED ME WHY I WAITED SO LONG TO CHANGE THE OIL IN THE CAR. I TOLD HIM THAT I WAITED FOR THE CAR OIL LIFE SYSTEM (OLS) TO ALERT ME TO CHANGE THE OIL, AND THAT IT DOESN'T ALERT ME UNTIL 8,000 TO 10,000 MILES. HE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULDN'T WAIT THAT LONG, AND HE RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE THE OIL AFTER 4,000 TO 5,000 MILES. I TOLD HIM THAT GM NEEDS TO FIX THE (OLS) TO ALERT CONSUMERS SOONER TO CHANGE THE OIL. AFTER I GOT OFF THE PHONE, I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2010-2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WITH A FOUR-CYLINDER ENGINE, AND IT WILL GET ITS (OLS) MONITOR RECALIBRATED TO SHORTEN THE INTERVAL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. SO I THINK GM NEED TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO COVER ALL MODELS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER RECALIBRATED MY (OLS) SYSTEM, AND TOLD ME TO JUST BRING IT IN SOONER FOR OIL CHANGES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EXCEED 20 MPH. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY INDUCTION NEEDED TO BE CLEANED AND THE INDUCTION KIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,523.

I OWN A 2010 CAMARO WITH 65,000 MILES. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SYSTEM STARTED SHUTTING OFF AND ON RANDOMLY WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT APPROX. 2 WEEKS AGO WHILE ON A WEEKEND TRIP. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO MY DEALER AND CONTACTED GM COMPLAINT CENTER ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR PAD AS THE CAUSE. THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE AND COVER LABOR BUT NOT THE COST OF PART $311. MY VEHICLE HAS 65000 MILES ON IT I PURCHASE IT NEW AND THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS NOT BEEN USED MUCH AT ALL. MY CONCERN IS THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT PAD SENSOR. THE PAD ITSELF COVERS THE ENTIRE SEAT BOTTOM MADE OF THIN PLASTIC WITH SENSORS BETWEEN THE PLASTIC. I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THE RELIABILITY OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM EVEN AFTER THE PAD IS REPLACED. VEHICLES ARE ENGINEERED TO BE SAFE USING SEAT BELTS AND AIR BAGS TOGETHER BUT THEY MUST FUNCTION TO DO SO. I HOPE GM STEPS UP AND LOOKS INTO THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE THERE IS A FAILURE THAT CONTRIBUTES TO AN INJURY OR DEATH. I WILL HAVE IT REPAIRED BUT MY CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON THE DEPENDABILITY OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IN MY CAMARO! *TR

I HAVE A DISPLAY ON DASHBOARD THAT SAID SERVICE AIR BAG, I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY 900 DOLLAR FOR AN AIRBAG SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I'M THE ONLY DRIVER FOR THE CAR AND IS RARE WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER. I HEARD OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CAMARO INDICATING THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I TOOK IT TO THE JIM ELLIS CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ON PEACHTREE INDUSTRIAL BLVD IN ATLANTA, GA AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE SEAT SENSOR THAT DETERMINES IF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS ON OR NOT HAD DETERIORATED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE RISK I RAN WAS THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING AT A TIME THAT I DIDN'T WANT IT TO. MY WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED THE YEAR BEFORE WHICH MEANS I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE FULL PRICE. THIS FIX COST ME OVER $800 AND I DO NOT APPRECIATE HAVING TO SPEND THIS KIND OF MONEY ON A STANDARD FEATURE OF A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SUPPOSE TO MALFUNCTION, ESPECIALLY THIS EARLY IN THE VEHICLE'S LIFE. IT HAS OCCURRED TO ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM AMONGST CAMAROS BETWEEN 2009 AND 2012. I BELIEVE I SPEAK FOR MOST CONSUMERS WHEN I SAY THAT WE HOLD GENERAL MOTORS AT A HIGHER STANDARD THAN THIS AND THAT WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS IN OUR VEHICLES ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE FIRST 65,000 MILES OF IT'S LIFE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF GENERAL MOTORS REIMBURSED ME THIS $800 SINCE I THIS IS A PROBLEM I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS SOON IN THE VEHICLES LIFETIME. I LIKE DRIVING MY CAMARO AND I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT SAFELY WITHOUT BEING HINDERED BY MAJOR REPAIR COSTS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

THE PROBLEM STARTED OUT WITH THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" WARNING DISPLAYING ON THE INFORMATION SCREEN ON THE DASH AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMING ON WHEN I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE ON/OFF LIGHT ON THE DOME LIGHT THE PASSENGER BAG IS OFF WHEN THIS WARNING COMES ON. OVER THE PAST MONTH IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND IT PROGRESSED TO JUST HAVING THE WARNING GO OFF ALL THE TIME NOW, EVEN WHEN I DON'T HAVE A PASSENGER. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 MODEL AIRBAG SENSORS GOING BAD. I HAVE SEEN MANY BLOGS THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR AIRBAG SENSOR. I HAVE EVEN READ THAT THIS FIX COSTS OVER $800 TO THE CONSUMER. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THIS WILL RESULT IN A FAILURE OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH AND MOST LIKELY DEATHS, I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING A SUBSTANDARD PART INTO THEIR SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN YOU PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE HOW LITTLE USE THE PASSENGER SEAT GETS, BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR FOR MAYBE 5-10% OF THE TIME. SO THAT MEANS THAT I HAVE ONLY HAD SOMEONE IN THAT SEAT FOR ONLY 2500-5000 MILES. THAT AIRBAG SENSOR HAS HAD VERY LITTLE USE AND IT WENT BAD ALREADY. I FEAR THAT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, OR EVEN WORSE DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING AND THEN CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND I'M THINKING THAT THE AIR BAGS DO NOT DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED. ON STAR SENT ME AN E:MAIL STATING THAT IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. IS IT A RECALL AS I DO NOT HAVE MONEY FOR FIXING IT AS I AM PUTTING MY GRANDDAUGHTER THROUGH COLLEGE AND SHE USES THE CAR EVERYDAY. HELP! *TR

2010 V6 CAMARO 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANS GRINDS WHEN SHIFTING INTO 2ND GEAR WHILE MERGING INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AT HIGHER RPMS. THOUGHT IT WAS DRIVER ERROR UNTIL RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM. TURNS OUT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND IT IS SAID TO BE THAT THE STOCK BRASS SYNCHROS IN THE MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ARE AT FAULT. *JS

CHEVROLET CAMARO 2010, DRIVING ON INTERSTATE VEHICLE STEERING BECAME STIFF (FELT AS IF IT LOCKED UP). SLID OFF INTERSTATE ACROSS TWO LANES OFF TRAFFIC INTO THE CRASH BARRIER. $23,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. TOTAL OF COURSE. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, ONSTAR DID NOT ACTIVATE. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF; I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL REPORTS ONLINE OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 1 YEAR. WHEN I GET TO 55MPH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKE SO BAD, IT'S UNBEARABLE. THIS HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALIGNMENT. THEY ALIGNED FOR ME. WELL IT RAN PRETTY GOOD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN IT STARTED BACK SHAKING. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS OR BRAKES OR SOMETHING TO THAT NATURE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A 18 WHEELER WHEN I STOP. THE ROTORS OR SOMETHING MAKE SOME KIND OF WOBBLING NOISE WHEN I DRIVE. I TURN THE RADIO DOWN QUITE OFTEN SO I CAN HEAR IF ANYTHING IS COMING OFF FROM THE BRAKES. I'M NOT PARANOID, BECAUSE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR ASK ME ALL THE TIME, "WHAT'S THAT NOISE". FOR ME TO HAVE A DECENT CAR LIKE THE CAMARO, I DON'T UNDERSTAND. CAN YOU PLEASE RUN A THOROUGH CHECK ON THE TIRES, ROTORS, BRAKES ON THESE CARS. ALSO CHECK THE TRUNK TOO, BECAUSE SOMETIME MY TRUNK WON'T OPEN WITH THE KEY NOR BY PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I PURCHASED A CAR OVER $30K AND I'M NOT GETTING ANY ENJOYMENT OUT OF IT. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE TOO FAR BECAUSE THE ROTORS OR SOMETHING MAY COME OFF. HELP PLEASE. *JS

I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. IN ADDITION TO THE VEHICLE LOSING POWER, REDUCED SPEED VEHICLE DROPPED FROM 60 MPH TO 25MPH. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE VEHICLES COMPUTER HAD 5 ERROR MESSAGES & JUST NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE SECOND TIME OCCURRED A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER. I ADDRESSED THE MANUFACTURER & DEALERSHIP MANAGER...THEY SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE.
