2010 Chevrolet Camaro complaints

WITH NO ONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, I TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF. THE DRIVERS PANEL AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING. IT WOULD GO OFF WITH SOME TURNS OFF THE CAR. LEFT OR RIGHT DIDN'T MATTER. THIS WENT ON FOR A FEW MONTHS. IF SOMEONE SAT IN THE SEAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO MOVE AROUND FOR THE SENSOR TO PICK UP THEY WERE IN THE SEAT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN THE DRIVERS PANEL EVENTUALLY STAYED A SOLID LIGHT AND NO LONGER FLASHED. *JS

A ELECTRICAL FUSE SHORT HAS CAUSED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TO NO LONGER ACTIVATE/ TURN ON WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. THUS, WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT, THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. BOTH THE FUSE AND THE MODULE ARE REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED. NO DAMAGE OR CHANGE WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE TO CAUSE THE SHORTAGE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

GOING OVER A BUMP IN ROAD OR HOLE IN ROAD THE STRUT BOTTOMS OUT AND MAKES LOUD NOISE. *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR MALFUNCTION. SEEMS LIKE MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. I HAD TO PAY OVER $800 TO REPAIR AT DEALERSHIP. *JS

ORIGINAL OEM CLUTCH FAILURE DUE TO BAD DESIGN, NO REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE FROM GM. FAILURE OF CLUTCH AT HIGH SPEEDS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE AND POSSIBLE DEATH TO DRIVER AND OTHER SURROUNDING VEHICLES. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR MAT WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS A WEEKEND SO THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED. THE NEXT MORNING I STARTED LOOKING UP RECALLS ON MY CAR. THE RESULT WAS NO RECALLS ON MY CAR BUT I FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE I'M HAVING. I TOOK MY CONCERN TO THE CHEVY DEALER THEY DIAGNOSED MY CAR WITH A FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT THE COST WAS $800 TO REPLACE I IMMEDIATELY CALLED GM DIRECTLY AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERN. AFTER TWO DAY AND MANY PHONE CALLS TO THE MAN AT GM THAT WAS HANDLING MY CASE THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. THIS IS FAULTY PRODUCT THAT IS PUT IN VEHICLES THAT WE THE CONSUMERS ARE DRIVING OUR FAMILIES AROUND IN. GM NEEDS TO GET ON THE BALL , RECALL THESE FAULTY PARTS BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY. MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DOES NOT WORK SO I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH A PASSENGER. I AM COMPLETELY DISGUSTED WITH THE SERVICE AND THE PRODUCT GM PRODUCES. *TR

THIS CAMARO HAS BEEN IN OUR FAMILY SINCE AUGUST 2011, AS A DAILY DRIVER FOR MY WIFE, PURCHASED FROM A GM CERTIFIED USED DEALER. LEAVING THE PARKING LOT FROM A TRIP TO WALMART TODAY, NOT EVEN GOING 10MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN STATING "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED", WITH BOTH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND THE STABILITY TRAC LIGHT ON. WE WERE ABLE TO LIMP HOME UNDER 40MPH. NOTHING IS NOTICEABLY WRONG, BUT NOW THE CAR RUNS ON A ROUGH IDLE, IT'S SITTING STATIONARY FOR NOW. DOING RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH LS3'S, MOSTLY HAVING TO DO WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ITSELF OR ACCOMPANYING SENSORS. I'M GOING TO CHANGE TO THROTTLE BODY AND GO FROM THERE. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT WHY ISN'T THIS PROBLEM A RECALL WORTHY ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH 2010 CAMARO'S, AND MANY OTHER GM VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR WITH A V8 ENGINE NOT NECESSARILY THE LS3. WHY DOES IT TAKE LOSS OF LIFE FOR GM TO FIX A MAJOR CONSISTENT PROBLEM. I AM REALLY LOSING FAITH IN THIS COMPANY AND IT'S PRODUCTS. OUR 2010 CAMARO SS SHOULD NOT BE THE VEHICLE SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY BROKEN DOWN OVER A 2001 CAMARO SS AND A 2002 S10 TRUCK. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE QUALITY OF GM VEHICLES THESE DAYS? IF THEY STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT, THEN THEY NEED OWN UP TO ITS SHORTCOMINGS. *TR

VEHICLE DISPLAYS A "SERVICE AIRBAG" LIGHT AND MESSAGE IN THE MESSAGE DISPLAY. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO A NON-DEPLOYABLE AIRBAG IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I WAS OUT AND WAITING TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE AND THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN, WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND AFTER THE FACT THAT IT SHUT DOWN IT GAVE A MESSAGE OF "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". HE CONTINUOUSLY TRIED TO START THE CAR BACK UP WITH NO LUCK. WE CONTACTED ONSTAR WHO STATED THAT THE CAR NEEDED TO BE ON FOR THEM TO GIVE A DIAGNOSTICS. WE WAITED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND THE CAR STARTED BACK UP BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THEY DID THIS AND THAT. KEEP IN MIND THE CAR IS RARELY DRIVEN, AND TWO DAYS AFTER WE RECEIVED THE CAR BACK IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. BACK TO THE SHOP IT WENT, AGAIN THEY TOLD US DIFFERENT THINGS WERE DONE TO THE CAR. TO KEEP A LONG STORY SHORT THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP 4 TIMES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE MOVING WITH TRAFFIC AND IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I FOUND THIS TO BE VERY DISTURBING BECAUSE IF A 18-WHEELER OR ANOTHER CAR WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO KNOCK THE CAR OFF THE INTERSTATE, I PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE MAKING THIS COMPLAINT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN IN MY LIFE A CAR THAT GIVES NO WARNING UNTIL IT IS OFF AND WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IN THE MIDST OF TRAFFIC. THE CAR IS A NICE CAR ON THE OUTSIDE BUT UNDER THE HOOD IT IS HORRIBLE. AS I TYPE THIS COMPLAINT THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN WITH DIFFERENT EXCUSES. I HOPE THEY CAN GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I WOULD REALLY HATE FOR THERE TO BE ANY MORE FATALITIES REPORTED ESPECIALLY MINE OR ONE OF MY FAMILY MEM

I JUST BOUGHT A 2010 CHEVY CAMARO ON DECEMBER 30TH FROM A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR DEALER AND WITHIN A MONTH LATER THE POWER-STEERING PUMP FAILS AND I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. IT WAS ONE OF THE COLDEST DAYS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS, IT'S BEEN A VERY BAD WINTER FOR THE NORTHEAST PART OF THE US. IN LESS THEN AN HOUR BEFORE THIS HAPPENED THE CAR WAS DRIVING NORMALLY FROM SUPERMARKET TO PHARMACY TO THE RESTAURANT WHERE I BOUGHT LUNCH, WHICH ARE ALL IN A 7/8 BLOCK RADIUS FROM MY HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME I COULDN'T FIND A PLACE TO PARK NEAR MY HOUSE BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A WHOLE LOT OF PARKING SPACES IN SOUTH PHILADELPHIA WHERE I LIVE, PLUS THERE'S A CORNER BAR ON THE CORNER WHO'S CUSTOMERS DON'T LIVE AROUND HERE, SO I PARKED ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY. NOT EVEN AN HOUR LATER A SPOT OPENED UP IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE SO I DECIDED TO GO AND GET MY CAR WHICH WHEN I FOUND OUT THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE I WAS TRYING TO TURN THE CORNER AND TRYING TO PARK MY CAR TOOK A LOT OF PAIN-STAKING FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THAT IS WHEN I WRENCHED MY LOWER BACK OUT AND I WAS IN PAIN. I'M DISABLED BECAUSE I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT BACK IN 2006 WHEN I WAS WORKING FOR A LIMOUSINE COMPANY. I HAVE BAD LOWER BACK INJURIES CONSISTING OF HERNIATED, BULGING AND RUPTURED DISCS. I WAS TRYING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO PARK AND I WRENCHED OUT MY LOWER BACK SO BAD THAT I'M LAID UP IN BED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE IT SEEMS I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS GOING THROUGH THIS PROBLEM OR WHO'S BEEN THROUGH THIS PROBLEM M

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR DID NOT DETECT A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT, HAD TO PAY $$ TO HAVE THIS REPLACED. ON STAR RED LIGHT WAS ALSO ON THEN GREEN ON & OFF. ON STAR SAID IT A COMMUNICATION FAILED & WITH THE ACCIDENT NOTIFICATION. THE CAR WAS CHECKED AT DEALERSHIP SAME TIME THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS CHECKED. THEN CHECKED 2 MORE TIMES SINCE. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM & TOLD US THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE DASH & CONSOLE OUT TO FIND PROBLEM AT OUR EXPENSE & OUR EXPENSE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AGAIN. WE NOW HAVE THE CAR AT A DIFFERENT GM DEALERSHIP THAT HAS A TESTING INSTRUMENT FOR THE ANTENNA AND. IT CHARGING US FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR OFF SHOW ROOM AT DEALERSHIP FOR OUR DAUGHTER TO HAVE A DEPENDABLE SAFE CAR TO GET HER THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE. NO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HASN'T COVERED ANY OF THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY VEERED FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A POPPING NOISE EMITTING FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM CHECK IT OUT TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG AND FOR $100 DIAGNOSIS CHARGE. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT NEEDS A NEW PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR...ON THE REPAIR TICKET IT IS STATED AS DTC B0081 PASSENGER SEAT PROBLEM. I HAVE AROUND 55,000 MILES AND NO WARRANTY LEFT. RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND MANY TYPES OF GM CHEVY MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS COST SHOULD NOT BE ON THE CONSUMER AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. IF YOU CAN HELP PLEASE EMAIL ME AT [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REAR AXLE WAS SLIGHTLY FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2010 CAMARO 2LT WITH 255-20FRONT AND 275-20REAR, AT AROUND 15K KILOMETERS I NOTICED A SLIGHT NOISE OF FRONT TIRES AND EFFECT ON THE STEERING, I FOUND A BIT LATER THAT THE PIRELLI P ZERO'S WERE STARTING TO CUP, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO MY GM DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THEM THROUGH WARRANTY, I HAD A FULL ALIGNMENT DONE, NOTHING WAS OUT OF LINE OR BALANCE. I AM ON MY 2ND SET OF FRONTS AND THEY ARE ALSO TOAST AT THE SAME MILEAGE INTERVAL. I AM NOT SURE IF THE TIRES ARE THE PROBLEM OR IF THE VEHICLES STEERING/SUSPENSION SYSTEM IS TO LIGHT TO HANDLE THE LARGE TIRES? WHEN I LOOK AT THE STEERING SYSTEM I AM HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS THAT THIS IS THE CASE. GM WOULD OF COURSE DENY THIS AND I CANNOT PROVE THIS UNTIL I CHANGE OVER TO ANOTHER SET OF TIRES. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO FIND OUT IF THE STEERING BEING TOO LIGHT WOULD BE THE PROBLEM. *TR

I REACHED OUT TO [XXX], GM CEO ON MAY 24, 2013 WITH A STRONG CONCERNS OF POWER FAILURE FOR THE 2ND TIME WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE; CAUSING ME NOT TO HAVE CONTROL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I PURCHASE THE CAR IN 2/2010 & IN 5/2010 THE BRAKES STARTED MAKING NOISE & WERE LOOSE TO THE POINT I HAD TO PUMP THEM. I CONTACTED GM TOOK MY CAR TO BENNETT CHEVROLET WHO SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG & THAT'S THE WAY THEY SOUND, SO I TOOK THE CAR TO GARBER THE GUY DROVE MY CAR AT FIRST SAID HE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING, BECAUSE THE NOISE WAS OBVIOUS ,HE THEN SAID IT WAS COMING FROM ANOTHER CAR. IN 12/10 THE BREAKS WENT TO THE FLOOR ,ONLY AFTER TELLING CHEVROLET THAT THEY WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO BENNETT THEY HAD TO ORDER THE MASTER CYLINDER I GOT MY CAR BACK 1/2011. IN 7/2013 THE SAME NOISE AGAIN I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR MUCH SO I'M THINKING A BRAKE PAD EVEN AFTER I NOTICE THE EXTERIOR AROUND THE AIR CONDITIONER, SHIFTING GEARS AND WHERE THE BRAKE FLUID GOES IN LOOKED MELT. ON 8/2013 I TOOK THE CAR TO BENNETT TO BE TOLD AGAIN NOTHING IS WRONG AND TOLD THE SAME LIE THAT'S THE WAY THEY SOUND.9/2013 WENT TO GARBER AT FIRST THEY SAID MY BRAKE PADS ARE LIKE NEW, I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE BRAKE PROBLEM I HAD & IT'S THE MASTER CYLINDER AGAIN THEY REPAIRED IT, BUT I DON'T KNOW THE NOISE IS STILL THERE AND IF HISTORY REPEATS ITS SELF THE BRAKES WILL GO TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. *JS

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON, AND CAR STARTED RUNNING BADLY AND SHAKING. THIS ALSO HAPPENED IN MARCH 2013, JULY 2013, AND SEPTEMBER 2013. EVERYTIME, THE ECM WENT BAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 70 MPH WHEN DRIVER'S SIDE HEATED SEAT BURNED THROUGH HER RIGHT LEG. THE HEATED SEAT WAS IN USE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE IT FAILED. THE SEAT CAUSED BLISTERS TO THE CONTACT'S LEG THAT WERE TREATED BY THE CONTACT HERSELF. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

I PURCHASED MY 2010 CHEVY CAMARO 2SS, IN FEBRUARY OF 2012. IT HAD 4,400 MILES ON IT. ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO, AFTER I BOUGHT IT, IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME, ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, WHILE DOING 65 MPH. I THREW IT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNED THE KEY AND IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER THAT, I WAS DOING ABOUT 20MPH ON A BACK ROAD AND IT DID THE SAME EXACT THING. JUST RECENTLY, ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, I WAS IN 6TH GEAR, ON CRUISE DOING 60MPH AND I FELT THE CAR "JERK" OR BUCK" A LITTLE BIT. FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY THE CAR DECELERATING. I DOWN-SHIFTED TO 4TH GEAR AND WAS GIVING IT GAS, BUT STILL WOULDN'T SPEED UP. IT FELL DOWN TO ABOUT 40MPH, BEFORE FINALLY CATCHING ITSELF AND SPEEDING BACK UP. ABOUT A MILE LATER, I GOT OFF MY EXIT AND WAS COMING DOWN TO THE STOP SIGN,WHEN ALL THE INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS. THEY WENT OFF AND I MADE A LEFT HAND TURN AND WENT ABOUT A MILE UP THE ROAD. AT THAT POINT, THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF DOING ABOUT 35MPH. THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC, SO I PULLED OVER AND STARTED IT BACK UP. I CALLED THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP, WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM, AND THEY HAD NO OPENINGS FOR A WEEK. SO I TOOK IT LAST WEEK TO GET IT CHECKED AND THEY FOUND NOTHING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT, THEY SAY. I AM VERY UPSET, BUT VERY THANKFUL THAT MY TWO CHILDREN WERE NOT WITH ME WHEN IT HAPPENED. I AM CURRENTLY CONTEMPLATING TRADING IT IN, CUZ I AM WORRIED THAT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN,AND MY CHILDREN ARE IN THE CAR, THAT IT MIGHT SHUT OFF IN VERY CONGESTED BUMPER TO BUMPER TR

REPAIR AIR BAG LIGHT DISPLAYS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. CAR TAKE TO DEALERSHIP AND EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY THE SAY IT'S NOT COVERED AND THE WANT $600.00 TO FIX IT. I CHECKED INTERNET AND THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2010 CHEVY CAMARO 2LT IN 37,000 MILES THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE CALIPER GOT STUCK AND ATE UP MY ROTOR AND PAD. IN 40,000 MILES IT BROKE A VALVE SPRING. EVER SINCE THEY SAY THEY FIXED IT, IT STILL RUNS LIKE CRAP LOSS OF POWER, AND STILL MISSES BUT DEALER SAYS ITS FINE AND FROM DAY ONE EVERYTIME I GO OVER A BUMP AT ANY SPEED IT SOUNDS LIKE GLASS IS SHATTERING AND IT COMES FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION. ITS SAD THAT MY 1995 CHEVY PICKUP WITH OVER 300,000 MILES WITH ALL STOCK PARTS STILL RUNS BETTER THAN MY CAMARO. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE, IE, OIL CHANGE, TIRE ROTATION, AIR FILTER REPLACEMENT. I WAS INFORMED THAT MY TIRES, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD PLENTY OF TREAD LIFE LEFT ON THEM, 6/32 FRONT, 5/32 REAR, THAT THEY WERE DRY ROTTED AND SEPARATED BETWEEN THE TREADS. ALSO WAS INFORMED THAT THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS, THE TIRES MAY COME APART WHILE DRIVING. I WAS INFORMED BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT THIS WAS A DEFECT IN THE TIRES. IN ADDITION, THE TIRES WERE PUT ON A 2010 CAMARO AND THE MANUFACTURES DATE ON ALL 4 TIRES ARE FROM 2008. I KNOW EVENTUALLY I WOULD HAVE TO BUY NEW TIRES, BUT IF THE TIRES WEREN'T IN THE CONDITION THEY ARE IN I MORE THAN LIKELY COULD GET ANOTHER 30,000 MILES OUT OF THEM. MOST IMPORTANTLY IS THE SAFETY HAZARD OF THE TIRES. LOOKING THROUGH THE REPORTS ON THIS PARTICULAR TIRE, I SAW SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. *TR

CAR WILL NOT GO INTO FIRST OR REVERSE. SHIFTS FINE IN OTHER GEARS AND WHEN CAR TURNED OFF. TOOK TO DEALER WHO SAID CLUTCH WAS WORN AT 50,000 MILES BECAUSE I WAS TOO HARD ON IT? I DON'T RACE, HOT ROD ETC, THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT A V6 MANUAL FOR DURABILITY. AM ONLY OWNER ONLY DRIVER. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE AND TO HAVE A CLUTCH GO BAD AT 50,000 MILES IS PRE-MATURE AND UNACCEPTABLE AND COSTING $1700.00 GM IS THE ONLY ONES MAKING CLUTCH SO I WAS FORCED TO GO TO DEALER AND PAY FOR REPAIRS FOR A FACTORY ISSUE THAT CAUSED EARLY CLUTCH BURN OUT AND FALSE "OK" DIAGNOSTIC ON TRANSMISSION. TURNS OUT ALOT OF OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND ITS COSTING US $$$. ANY MECHANIC DRIVING THIS CAR SAID "THIS IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, NOT A CLUTCH". A CAR NOT GOING INTO GEAR IS NOT THE CLUTCH. THERE WAS NO GRINDING OF GEARS, IT JUST WOULDN'T GO DESPITE FORCE AND CLUTCH PUSHED ALL THE WAY IN NUMEROUS TIMES. *TR

FRONT SUSPENSION IS VERY CLUNKY GOING OVER MODERATE BUMPS. WHEN THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS REBOUNDING ONTO A LOWER SURFACE IS BANGS HARD. I HAVE PASSENGERS THAT HAVE ASKED, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR CAR?" UPON HEARING IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. DEALERS RESPONSE IS ALL IS FINE, WE DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS. I TOLD THEM IT HAS SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING WITH IT IS DEFINITELY NOT NORMAL. *TR

BOLTS ON THE DRIVE SHAFT ARE DEFECTIVE AND BREAKING OFF THE DRIVE SHAFT. CAR BEGINS TO VIBRATE HEAVILY ON STICK SHIFT AND STEERING WHEEL. IT IS ALSO REPRESENTED AND EQUALLY EXPLAINED ON OTHER WEB PAGES REGARDING THE CHEVROLET, CAMARO PRODUCTS, SAME YEAR OR NEWER. AFTER INSPECTION TWO OF THREE NUTS AND BOLTS EITHER BROKE OFF OR CAME OFF, LEAVING ONE BOLT TO CONTROL THE TORQ AND HORSE POWER TRAVELING DOWN THE DRIVE SHAFT. VEHICLE WAS HARD TO MANEUVER AND CLEAR OFF THE ROAD TO A SAFE LOCATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS TRAVELING OVER A TWO MILE STRETCH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND RAPIDLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 110 MPH AND PROCEEDED TO TRAVEL THROUGH A FOUR-WAY STOP SIGN. THE DRIVER THEN ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE BECAME ERRATICALLY UNCONTROLLABLE. THE VEHICLE THEN TRAVELED OVER A CURB AND CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF A RESIDENCE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER WAS KILLED IN THE IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED FOR THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND REPLACED A COMPONENT TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE EXACT COMPONENT HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER HOWEVER, NO FAILURE WAS DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND AN INCIDENT RECORDER WAS INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE ANY FUTURE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

I WAS WASHING MY CAR AND I NOTICED A MILKY WHITE LOOKING SPOT ON THE FRONT BUMPER. AFTER I WASHED AND DRIED THE CAR, THE SPOT WAS STILL THERE. THAT IS WHEN I KNEW IT WAS NOT A SPOT, IT LOOKS LIKE THE CLEAR COAT IS COMING OFF THE BUMPER. THEN I LOOKED AT THE REAR BUMPER AND DECK LID AND NOTICED THAT RIGHT WHERE THE FACTORY SPOILER IS ATTACHED TO THE DECK LID ON BOTH SIDES THERE ARE CHIPS OF PAINT MISSING. LOOKS LIKE THE SPOILER HAS RUBBED THE PAINT OFF. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAS CAUSED THIS, BUT I AM GOING TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND SEE IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS OR TSB REPORTS ON BOTH OF THESE ISSUES. *TR

MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER THAT MEETS THE WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS, I HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUMS OF SAME PROBLEMS AND CAN'T SEEM TO GET CHEVY TO REALIZE THIS IS A MALFUNCTION AND A SAFETY ISSUE, I THINK THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE OWNERS EXPENSE, BUT MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS IT IS. THIS POSSES A THREAT TO MY PASSENGERS AND COULD CAUSE MALFUNCTION IN ANY OF MY AIRBAGS. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 CAMARO WITH A V6. EVERY TIME I RIDE DOWN THE ROAD, I HEAR A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT ALL THEY SAY IS THEY DON'T HEAR ANYTHING. I BELONG TO A CAMARO CLUB AND 90% OF THE OTHER CAMARO'S DO THE SAME THING. WE BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE STRUTS BUT OF COURSE GM DENIES THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG. THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL BEFORE TO MANY PEOPLE GET KILLED. WE HAVE PEOPLE IN OUR CLUB THAT HAVE 2012 CAMARO'S THAT DO THE SAME THING. MINE HAS DONE IT SINCE DAY 1 BUT LIKE I SAID THE DEALER ALWAYS SAYS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. *TR

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE FIRST SHUT OFF AT A RED LIGHT FOR NO REASON ON FEB 28 2012 SAME INCIDENT ON MARCH 1ST SHUT OFF A RED LIGHT THIRD TIME IT WAS WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH MAKING A TURN IN A PARKING SPOT. WAS ABLE TO TURN BACK CAR ON WITH NO PROBLEMS BUT IT IS OF GREAT CONCERN NOW IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN AT A HIGH SPEED I AM SURE CAR CAN CAUSE INJURIES TO OTHERS AS WELL AS MYSELF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 5 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BECAME HESITANT TO ACCELERATION AND SMOKE WAS RELEASED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS A BLOWN PISTON. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH A NEW MOTOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AT 3900 MILES, THE RIGHT REAR HALFSHAFT DRIVE AXLE FAILED ON 11/04/10. AT 6907 MILES, THE CAR SUFFERED ANOTHER CATASTROPHIC POWERTRAIN FAILURE. THE FULL EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED. THE KNOWN DAMAGE INCLUDED, DRIVESHAFT, TRANSMISSION, TRANSMISSION SHIFTER, AND EXHAUST. THE FAILURE OCCURRED DURING 5PM RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AT @ 35MPH, WITH A GRINDING NOISE, AND VIBRATION AS THE ONLY INDICATORS THAT A FAILURE WAS IMMINENT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITH TRAFFIC SURROUNDING THE VEHICLE AT A RELATIVELY SLOW SPEED. HAD THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED AT 55MPH, OR INTERSTATE SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 55MPH, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE INVOLVED FATALITIES.

NEW 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO....FOUR NEW PIRELLI TIRES CAME WITH NEW CAR...HAD TO REPLACE TIRES DUE TO SEPARATION OF TREAD...CAR ONLY HAD 16,000 MI A YEAR AND A HALF A LITTLE EARLY TO REPLACE TIRES...TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH TIRES IN THIS CONDITION...CONTACTED PIRELLI TIRES TO NO AVAIL...BOUGHT A NEW CAR SO AS NOT TO HAVE COSTLY REPAIRS OR DANGEROUS EQUIPMENT..TIRES SHOULD BE RECALLED.. *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP AND GOING INTO 2ND GEAR IT GRINDS AND IS DIFFICULT TO GO INTO GEAR. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES ME TO LET OFF THE GAS AND THE RE-COMPRESS THE CLUTCH AND TRY TO PUT THE CAR INTO 2ND GEAR. DUE TO MY DECREASE OF SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN THE GRIND HAPPENS. I HAVE REPORTED MY PROBLEM TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION BY GM. WHILE DRIVING I TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTION TO ENSURE THERE IS NO VEHICLES AROUND WHEN I TURN AT AN INTERSECTION OR WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE READ THAT THERE IS A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND THEY HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM OR ARE IN THE PROCESS OF CORRECTING THE PROBLEM ON THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 CAMARO WITH THE AY6 MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND V6 MOTOR. I HAD THE PRESSURE PLATE BOLTS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AFTER MY TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT INTO FIRST,SECOND,OR ANY OF THE OTHER GEARS SUDDENLY AFTER 14,000MILES OF ADULT DRIVEN NORMAL USE..THE TECH FROM GM TOLD ME THE BOLTS WERE NOT TORQUED DOWN FROM THE FACTORY(AISIN/WARNER) AND HAD BEEN REDESIGNED BY GM.....OK. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS MATTER FURTHER I'VE FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND THE DEALERS AND GM ARE TRYING TO IGNORE THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS. THIS TRANSMISSION HAS A FACTORY TORQUE RATING THAT IS 273 FT LBS AND THE GM 3.6 VVT MOTOR THAT IS IN OUR CAMAROS PUTS OUT 278 FT LBS FROM THE FACTORY.SO RIGHT OFF THE BAT THE TRANS IS DESTINED TO FAIL PREMATURELY FROM THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM AND THEY ARE TRYING TO PASS THE COST OFF TO THE CUSTOMER IN ALOT OF CASES.I WAS ONE OF THE FORTUNATE ONES WHO HAD THE FIRST PROBLEM COVERED BUT NOW IM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR LIKE A SPORTS CAR IN FEAR OF FACING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS DUE TO GMS IRRESPONSIBLE ACTIONS BY PLACING AN INADEQUATE TRANSMISSION INTO AN AMAZING CAR.IM SURE YOUR AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FROM THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT NOT ALL HAVE WENT THIS FAR AS TO CONTACT YOU ON THIS SITUATION. THERE ARE FOUR TSBS OUT ON THIS PRESSURE PLATE ISSUE ALONE AS WELL AS OTHER MULTIPLE PROBLEMS THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND I TRULY FEEL THIS CAN BECOME A SERIOUS S

THE 2010 CAMARO SS AUTOMATIC IS EQUIPPED WITH THE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WHICH DEACTIVATES THE VALVES ON FOUR CYLINDERS AT LOW SPEEDS. UPON ACCELERATING THE FOUR CYLINDERS ARE RE-ACTIVATED AND A SURGE OF APPROXIMATELY 200 HUNDRED HORSEPOWER IS SENT TO THE REAL WHEELS WHICH CAUSES A TRACTION LOSS AND LOSS OF CONTROL ON ICY OR SNOW COVERED ROADWAYS. THIS IS A HAZARD WHICH CAN CREATE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO THE REAR WHEELS LOSING TRACTION AND SLIPPING.
