2010 Chevrolet Camaro complaints

VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY, NOT GO INTO SECOND GEAR, AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE REAR ENDED ABOUT 4 TIMES NOW. VEHICLE IS A STANDARD V6 AND HAS INTERMITTENT GEAR CLASH GOING INTO GEARS. WIFE WILL NOT EVEN DRIVE VEHICLE NOW CAUSE OF THIS. I HAD SENT AN E-MAIL TO YOU ON THIS ALREADY, BUT WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GOT IT AS I HAVE THREE OTHER FRIENDS THAT TRADED IN THEIR V6 MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAMARO CAUSE OF THIS. ALL BECAUSE GM, FAILS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE THEY ALREADY KNOW OF ISSUES FROM US V6 CAMARO OWNERS COMPLAINING. MY TWO DEALERS HAVE BEEN GREAT, BUT ONLY SO MUCH THEY CAN DO UNLESS GM ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE. IF GM, FAILS TO ADDRESS,THEIR ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION, I WILL SEE A LAWYER ABOUT THIS AND GO AFTER THEM, IT HAS BECOME A BIG SAFETY ISSUE NOW IN TRAFFIC. P.S. VEHICLE HAS WHAT GM CALL TRANSMISSION A AY6 TRANSMISSION, THAT THEY PUT IN THE V6 CAMARO WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION

THE AY6 MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS MISSING AND GRINDING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO THE SECOND GEAR DURING ENGINE OPERATION ABOVE 5500 RPM. WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR ACCOMMODATES A VIOLENT GRINDING SOUND ORIGINATING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT HAVE GRINDING/HESITATION OR MISSED SHIFTING INTO ANY OTHER GEAR, EXCEPT THE SECOND GEAR. A VAST MAJORITY OF MANUAL TRANSMISSION V6 OWNERS HAVE BEEN REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. SOME OWNERS HAVE GOTTEN THEIR TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED BY GM ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM REOCCUR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS ANY MISSED SHIFTS MAY LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES ALONG WITH REPLACEMENT OF BRAND NEW PARTS ON VEHICLE. EVEN AFTER ALL OF THE REPAIRS THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT PROPERLY WORK. THE TRANSMISSIONS WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ENGAGING INTO FIRST GEAR AND SECOND GEAR AT CERTAIN TIMES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE TRANSMISSION AND KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT AN OPERATING FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER VEHICLE IN THE PAST THAT HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND HAVE THE SAME EXACT ISSUES. GENERAL MOTORS HAS PROVIDED WARRANTY WORK ON THE VEHICLE BUT PROBLEMS STILL PERSIST EVEN AFTER A NEW TRANSMISSION AND NEW CLUTCH HAVE BEEN PUT IN THE VEHICLE. I FEEL UNSAFE AT TIMES TO BE DRIVING THIS CAR WHEN IT PREVENTS ME FROM DOWNSHIFTING INTO CERTAIN GEARS. *TR

AT HIGH ENGINE RPM (4000 RPM OR HIGHER)WHILE MERGING IN TO TRAFFIC, TRANSMISSION GRINDS OR REFUSES TO GO IN TO SECOND GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN MY CAR. GM REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION WITH THE SAME TYPE TRANSMISSION AND THE SAME THING IS STILL GOING ON. *TR

2010 CAMARO V6 MANUAL TRANSMISSION EXPERIENCES NOTCHY SHIFTS FROM N TO 1ST, N TO R, AND 1ST TO 2ND. OFTEN TIMES THE NOTCHINESS IS ENOUGH THAT SHIFTING BACK INTO N OR 1ST IS REQUIRED AND AN ADDITIONAL ATTEMPT MUST BE MADE TO SHIFT. *TR

2010 CAMARO RS, V6 MANUAL TRANSMISSION.--VEH SHIFTS HARD AND AT TIME'S CAN NOT GET INTO SECOND GEAR AND THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME 3 ACCIDENTS ALREADY. WHILE IM IN TRAFFIC--WHEN ITS NOT SHIFTING TO BAD, IT GETS WHAT I CALL GEAR CLASH, OR TECH TERM IS THAT IT IS THE SYNCROS IN TRANSMISSION GRINDING GOING INTO GEARS AS YOU SHIFT.- ALSO CLUTCH IS INTERMIT RELEASING HIGH AND CAUSES BIG JERK IN VEH LIKE SOMEONE PULLING ON E BRAKE AS YOU RELEASE CLUTCH. DEALER HAS BEEN GRAT [TWO OF THEM] BUT THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH THEY CAN DO UNTIL G.M. ADMITS THERE IS A PROBLEM, AND I KNOW 6 PEOPLE WHO ALREADY GOT RID OF VEH AS GM WONT COME UP WITH FIX, ON THE V6 MANUAL OR THE V8 MANUAL TRANS, WHICH V8 MANUAL HAS A SHIFT ISSUE THAT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IM REAR ENDED IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF VEH WONT GO INTO SECOND GEAR. IN WHICH SHOULD BE ADDRESS FOR SAFETY ISSUE. WIFE WONT DRIVE VEH NOW BECAUSE OF THIS. *KB

THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAMARO UNTIL I MENTIONED THE TBS # PIO197 GM HAD IN PLACE. I WENT WITH THE SERVICE TECH. ON A ROAD TRIP AND HE AGREED THERE WAS A NOISE, HE FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS ACCORDING TO THE TBS,AND TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL GM ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM,AND WOULD HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE TSB, I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH OTHER CAMARO OWNERS WHO IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, WHO HAVE GONE TO THEIR DEALER AND HAVE THEM SAY IT IS NORMAL. OTHER PEOPLE THAT OWN THE CAMARO IS NOT EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM ,THEREFORE HOW CAN IT BE NORMAL WHEN ALL CARS DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. YOU PAY THIS KIND OF MONEY FOR A VEHICLE AND THIS IS THE SERVICE WE GET FROM GM IN RETURN,I FELT THAT WHEN YOU PURCHASE A VEHICLE FROM GM THEY ARE IS SUPPOSE TO BE FAITHFUL AND LIVE UP TO IT'S BINDING CONTRACT WRITTEN IN IT'S WARRANTY. MY FIRST CHOICE WAS TO PURCHASED A DODGE CHALLENGER, BUT CHANGED MY MIND BECAUSE I LIKE THE STYLE A LITTLE BETTER, BUT IF I COULD CHANGES THINGS I WOULD HAVE STUCK WITH MY FIRST CHOICE. I WILL BE DETERMINED TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND LET PEOPLE/ MEDIA KNOW THAT GM PRODUCTS/SERVICE AND THE QUALITY OF THERE PRODUCT IS JUST ONE BIG HEADACHE. AND DON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. WHY DON'T GM ACKNOWLEDGE T

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY CAMARO RS 2 LT. I AM EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WITH FRONT PS WHEEL "WASHBOARDING" ;FEELS LIKE DRIVING WITH A FLAT TIRE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED FRONT TIRES, STILL HAVE PROBLEM; THEY PRETTY MUCH WASHED THEIR HANDS OF THIS ISSUE, SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING... IT ONLY DOES THIS IN THE MORNING WHEN STARTING OUT, WHEN I DRIVE VEHICLE LATER IN THE DAY IT DRIVES FINE, BUT I NOW HAVE A METAL ON METAL SOUND COMING FROM THAT WHEEL SO ITS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. I LOVE THE VEHICLE, BUT AM INCREASINGLY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SITUATION AND LACK OF CONCERN WITH DEALER. I DON'T LIVE IN A COLD CLIMATE, JUST THE OPPOSITE, SO TIRE FLATSPOTTING ISN'T A CONSIDERATION HERE...AT TIMES, THE CAR ALSO SEEMS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AS IF ITS RIDING IN A ROAD RUT AND BEING "PULLED" TO ONE SIDE OR ANOTHER. AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY UNTIL ITS FINALLY RESOLVED; DON'T WANT TO HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN VEHICLE EITHER..... ISSUE STILL UNRESOLVED...... *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 SS CAMARO IN NORTHEAST OHIO. AFTER PURCHASE I FOUND OUT THAT THE CARS COME WITH "SUMMER ONLY" TIRES. THE TIRES DO NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT BEING "SUMMER ONLY" SO I TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR IN OUR WINTER SEASON. THE CAR IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE IN AS LITTLE AS AN INCH OF SNOW. I PURCHASED WINTER TIRES FOR THIS SEASON FOR OVER $1000.00. PIRELLE INFORMED ME THAT THE TIRES AN NOT TO BE USED IN TEMPS UNDER 41 DEGREES, THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING (2010) TEMPS IN FLORIDA WERE UNDER 35 DEGREES. THESE TIRES CAN NOT BE USED IN MORE THAN 50% OF AMERICA! WHY SHOULD A CUSTOMER OF A NEW CAR BE EXPECTED TO PURCHASE TIRES? THEN ARE UNSAFE AND UNUSABLE IN MOST PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. *TR

THE 2010 CAMARO RS PACKAGE ONLY COMES WITH PIRELLI P-ZERO TIRES, (P245/45/ZR20 IN FRONT, P275/40/ZR20 IN REAR). THESE ARE "SUMMER ONLY" TIRES. NEITHER GM NOR THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THIS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. IT WAS ALSO NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF THE PAPERWORK DESCRIBING THE VEHICLE OR IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS, WHERE WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE A GIVEN. I ONLY BECAME AWARE OF THIS AFTER THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL, WHEN THE VEHICLE BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IT SKIDS DURING EVEN AT LOW ACCELERATION AND DURING GENTLE BRAKING. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY OR GM COULD DO REGARDING THE SITUATION. THEY ARE SELLING THESE VEHICLES WITH "STANDARD EQUIPMENT" THAT IS CERTAIN TO MAKE THEM UNSAFE TO DRIVE FOR A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE YEAR IN MANY PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. THEY ARE GIVING THE BUYER NO WARNING OF THIS. THIS IS UNETHICAL AT BEST AND COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.

2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE DRIVER SEAT HAS AN AREA ON THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE THAT COMES UP BY THE CENTER CONSOLE. THIS AREA IS NOT COVERED IN MATERIAL WHICH EXPOSES THE SEAT FRAME AND PARTS. MY WIFE'S SKIRT GOT HUNG UP ON THE SEAT AND SHE HAD TO RIP THE SKIRT FROM THE FRAME IN ORDER TO APPLY THE BRAKES THIS IS A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN PLEASE GIVE THIS FAST ATTENTION. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO COVER THE SEAT COMPLETELY. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND CHECKED OTHER CARS AND THEY ARE THE SAME. *TR

EARLIER DURING THE DRIVE, HE RECEIVED AN ALERT THAT THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW, SO HE STOPPED AND ADDED AIR. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS LOW ON PRESSURE. THE CONSUMER PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT AND DESTROYED BEYOND REPAIR. THE CONSUMER THEN CALLED ONSTAR AND WAS GIVEN THE TIRE SIZE OF HIS TIRES, ONLY TO DISCOVER THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WERE SMALLER THAN THE TIRES ON THE FRONT.

THIS COMPLAINT IS TO MAKE THE NHTSA AWARE OF A SAFETY HAZARD THAT EXISTS WITH CERTAIN 2011 CHEVROLET CAMAROS. I OWN A 1LT EQUIPPED WITH THE RS PACKAGE. THIS PACKAGE INCLUDES 20" RIMS. UNFORTUNATELY, SHORTLY AFTER TAKING POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE, I LEARNED THAT GM EQUIPS RS CAMAROS WITH PIRELLI P-ZERO TIRES. THESE TIRES ARE RATED AS "SUMMER ONLY" TIRES AND WILL POSE AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO THOSE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE IN SNOW, OR TEMPERATURES BELOW 45 DEGREES F--ESSENTIALLY MAKING THE VEHICLE UNDRIVABLE IN WINTER WEATHER. GM, NOR THE DEALERSHIP, WARNED THE DRIVER THAT THESE TIRES CAN ONLY BE USED IN THE SUMMER. UNAWARE DRIVERS MAY BECOME STUCK OR LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH, DUE TO THE TIRE'S LOSS OF TRACTION AND HARDENING OF RUBBER IN COLD/WINTER CONDITIONS. *TR

THE NEW CHEVROLET CAMARO HAS A DEFECT IN THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE CLUTCH TO BURN OUT AFTER ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL RECOGNIZED OVER THE INTERNET AND CLEARLY GM KNOWS ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALREADY DESIGNED A NEW CLUTCH WHICH WAS INSTALLED ON MY CAR LAST WEEK. HOWEVER THEY DID NOT NOTIFY ME AS A NEW OWNER OF THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DEFECT AND DID NOT EVEN NOTIFY MY DEALER UNTIL I BROUGHT THE CAR IN. I KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM A MONTH AGO BUT NEVER CONSIDERED THE POSSIBILITY OF A CLUTCH PROBLEM IN A CAR WITH ONLY 5,000 MILES ON IT. HAD I KNOWN OF THE PROBLEM, I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN ELECTIVELY RATHER THAN AFTER I COULD NO LONGER GET INTO 1ST GEAR OR REVERSE! *TR

CAR IS 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO SS WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION (LS3). PROBLEM: CRUISE CONTROL CAN BE ACTIVATED WHEN THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL. STEPS TO REPLICATE: DRIVE NORMALLY AND GO ABOVE 40MPH, AFTER WHICH SHIFT DOWN TO NEUTRAL AND ACTIVATE CRUISE CONTROL. RESULT: THE CAR WILL ACTIVATE CRUISE CONTROL AND WILL START TO REDLINE THE ENGINE. AS A RESULT IF YOU SHIFT IN TO A LOWER GEAR, THE VEHICLE WILL JUMP TO A VERY HIGH SPEED SINCE THE TACHOMETER IS REDLINING, POTENTIALLY DAMAGING THE ENGINE AND MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR. PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPLICATED ON TWO DIFFERENT MODELS OF THE SAME VEHICLE. HAVE NOT REPORTED TO GM BECAUSE THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE LOVES TO ARGUE AND DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
