2011 Chevrolet Camaro complaints

PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR IN SEAT IS DEFECTIVE, CONTINUES TO GO ON AND OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. OR WHEN I HAVE MY LAPTOP IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. CHEVROLET WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM. IT APPEARS TO BE A BAD DESIGN OR DEFECTIVE PARTS. CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS THAT I KNOW OF AND NO KIDS USUALLY RIDE IN FRONT SEAT

HEATER CORE WENT OUT IN MY CAR WITH 12167 MILES. THE CAR IS STORED IN THE GARAGE EVERY WINTER AND NOT DRIVEN. I CALLED CUSTOMER CARE FOR CHEVROLET AND DID NOT GET ANY WHERE. WITH THE MILEAGE BEING SO LOW I'M CONCERN THE PART IS FAULTY OR PUT IN MY CAR WRONG. PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS NOT RIGHT.

AIR BAGS LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME. *TR

AC STARTED TO BLOW OUT REALLY COLD AIR (COULD SEE THE COLD AIR COMING OUT) AND WOULD HEAR THE COMPRESSOR BEING TURNED ON AND OFF AND THEN NO MORE COLD AIR WOULD BLOW OUT. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE CONDENSER. PURCHASED A CONDENSER AND ANOTHER MECHANIC SAID THAT THE COMPRESSOR WOULD NOT TURN ON. RESEARCHED PROBLEMS AND SEEMS THAT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CONTROL MODULE NOT COMMUNICATING WITH COMPRESSOR TO TURN ON AND OFF. I CAN NOT FIND ANY RECALLS OR A DEALER THAT WILL REPAIR THIS OR IF THIS IS EVEN WHAT IT IS.

I WANT TO INFORM YOU THE VEHICLE DEALERSHIP BLEW ME OFF WHEN IT CAME TO GETTING MY VEHICLE RECALL COMPLETED. THE FOLLOWING IS WHAT I WENT THROUGH WITH GARBER AUTOMALL, 3340 HIGHWAY 17, GREEN COVE SPRINGS, FLORIDA TO GET THEM TO PROCESS MY VEHICLE RECALL. AS THE CONSUMER I WAS STUCK BETWEEN THE MANUFACTURER OF THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE DEALERSHIP. AUGUST 2014, I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ON MY 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO'S IGNITION KEY, RECALL NUMBER 14294. AT THAT TIME, I TELEPHONED GARBER AUTOMALL TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE RECALL COMPLETED. THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS ?OPTIONAL? AND I DID NOT HAVE TO GET IT DONE, IF I DID NOT WANT TO. I RE-READ THE RECALL LETTER FROM CHEVROLET AND DID NOT FIND THE WORD ?OPTIONAL? MENTIONED. ON 28 OCTOBER 2014, I WROTE CHEVROLET, ATTN: JIM MOLONEY, GENERAL DIRECTOR, CUSTOMER & RELATIONSHIP SERVICES, POST OFFICE BOX 909989, MILWAUKEE, WI, WHO I RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER FROM AND TOLD HIM THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THE RECALL IS ?OPTIONAL.? I DID NOT RECEIVE AN ANSWER FROM JIM MOLONEY. THEN I STARTED RECEIVING POST CARDS FROM RECALL INFORMATION PROCESSING CENTER, POST OFFICE BOX 909989, MILWAUKEE, WI, STATING THEIR RECORDS SHOWED I HAD NOT COMPLETED THE RECALL SERVICE ON MY VEHICLE. TRUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS ?OPTIONAL.? ON 15 JAN 2015, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR 15,000 MILE MAINTENANCE. AGAIN, I MENTIONED MY RECALL AND WAS TOLD IT WAS ?OPTIONAL.? I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP I WANTED IT DONE BECAUSE MY RECALL PAPER

I WAS GOING TO WORK AS I CAME DOWN THE OFF RAMP I LOST ALL POWER AND HIT A POLE THERE WAS MASSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END AND TO THE ENGINE ALSO I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE I DID NOT FIND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL UNTIL I LOOKED UP ON THE INTERNET WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED ALSO MY AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. *TR

VAPOR BEGAN COMING IN THROUGH THE AIR VENTS, ALONG WITH A SUPER-SWEET SMELL; THIS SMELL WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS LEAKING ENGINE COOLANT. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD QUICKLY FOGGED UP, BEGINNING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, AND ABSOLUTELY WOULD NOT CLEAR. USING THE VEHICLE'S DEFROST ONLY INCREASED THE WINDSHIELD FOGGING AND SEVERELY DECREASED VISIBILITY. FOGGING AND VISIBILITY IS WORSE WHEN THE WEATHER IS COOL OR IT IS RAINING, AND THE COOLANT SMELL INSIDE THE CAR CAN MAKE YOU SICK AND GIVE YOU HEADACHES. FOG-FREE WINDOW TREATMENT IS INEFFECTIVE. TAKEN TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER, THE CAMARO HAS A BAD HEATER CORE - TO FIX THIS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS ISSUE, THE CAMARO'S WINDSHIELD MUST BE TAKEN OUT ALONG WITH THE DASH AND SEATS JUST TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE HEATER CORE... AT A COST AROUND $2,000 AND OVER A WEEK IN THE SERVICE CENTER... BEWARE THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER CHEVY'S POWERTRAIN WARRANTY (THE HEATER CORE IS EXCLUDED). THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NEWER MODEL CAMAROS AND SHOULD BE A GM RECALL BY NOW. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE BEFORE MY VISIBILITY WAS REDUCED TO ZERO... SOMEBODY ELSE MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY, OR MAY NOT KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WHEN THEIR WINDSHIELD BEGINS TO FOG. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR TURNS ON AND OFF CAUSING ALARM AND SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN AND ADULT SITS IN THE CAR OR WHEN THERE IS ANYTHING IN THE PASSENGER SET. 4 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY CAMARO WITH 68K ON IT, RECENTLY THE HEATER CORE WENT OUT AND I THINK IT IS TO SOON FOR THE HEATER CORE TO GO OUT. A RECALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THE HEATER CORE AS THE HOT FLUIDS FROM THE LEAK CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE CHEVY WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE WINDSHIELD TO GET TO IT. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $1700 TO FIX AND AN ADDITIONAL $400 IF THE WINDSHIELD BREAKS WHICH IS UP-SURD! *TR

I'M WRITING, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE CHEVY CAMARO MAY POSSIBLY HAVE SOME FAULTY PARTS. TODAY THERE WAS A,DEADLY CRASH INVOLVING A CHEVY CAMARO THAT EXPLODED,ON IMPACT. APPARENTLY THE PASSENGERS,BURNED TO DEATH IN THIS VEHICLE. SINCE I MYSELF DRIVE A,2011,CHEVY CAMARO I WAS WONDERING WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS VEHICLE TO,EXPLODE. I GOOGLED "CAMARO FIRE IMPACT" TO SEE,IF ANY POSSIBLE RECALLS, HOW EVER I NOTICED,I CAME ACROSS SEVERAL ARTICLES ONLINE WHERE THEY STATED OF CAMAROS BURSTING INTO,FLAMES,UPON IMPACT, AND ACCORDING TO THESE,ARTICLES PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN THESE VEHICLES,DUE,TO,THE,FIRES. *TR

2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO CONSUMER IS NOT SATISFIED WITH RECALL REPAIRS *CN THE CONSUMER STATED SHE THOUGHT THE ISSUE WAS THE IGNITION. HOWEVER, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO HER, SHE NOTICED THE KEY FOBS WERE BROKEN AND AN ADDITIONAL KEY WAS ADDED, WHICH WAS VERY ANNOYING AND HANGING ON HER KNEE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE REMEDY WAS A CHEAP FIX. *JB

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WORKS ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. MY WIFE IS NORMAL SIZED, ABOUT 5'6" AND 160 LBS. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WILL ALSO INTERMITTENTLY SHOW ON AND THEN OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER, EVEN WHEN THE PASSENGER IS MAKING NO MOVEMENTS. IT WAS BEEN REPLICATED AT THE DEALER, WITH MORE THAN ONE PASSENGER, INCLUDING AN EMPLOYEE OF THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS ALSO REPLICATED WHILE CONNECTED TO AN ODBC2. AFTER FOUR TRIPS TO THE DEALER, THEY NOW DECLARE IT IS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED" AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE ATTEMPTED REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND STILL EXHIBITS THE ISSUE. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON A CHEVY FORUM HERE: HTTP://WWW.CAMARO5.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=122468 THEY ALL MIMIC MY ISSUE. ONE CONSUMER HAD THE CAR REPLACED UNDER THE LEMON LAW. I TOOK MY CASE TO BBB ARBITRATION AND LOST ON A TECHNICALITY. I WAS TOLD I DID NOT GIVE THE DEALER ENOUGH OPPORTUNITIES TO REPAIR THE CAR. HOWEVER, EACH TIME I TOOK IT IN AFTER THE FOURTH ATTEMPT, THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR THE CAR AND STATED IT WAS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED". AFTER THE ARBITRATION MEETING, A CHEVY EMPLOYEE PRESENT AT THE MEETING OFFERED A SEAT REPLACEMENT IN THE FORM OF A WRITTEN LETTER. LATER, I TOOK HIM UP ON HIS OFFER, BUT THEY HAD RESCINDED THE OFFER. I TOOK IT UP THE MANAGEMENT CHAIN, AND AT ONE POINT, I WAS OFFERED A CAR REPLACEMENT BUT THIS WAS LATER RESCINDED. NOW THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AFTER ATTEMPTING REPAIRS FOR THREE YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V447000 (SEATS) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIR. THE LETTER WAS RECEIVED IN JULY OF 2014 AND THE DEALER SCHEDULED THE REPAIR IN OCTOBER OF 2014. THE APPOINTMENT WAS CANCELLED BECAUSE THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL FEBRUARY OF 2015. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT AND ALARM SOUNDING. PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR WENT BAD. WHEN A PASSENGER SITS IN THE SEAT THE SENOR LIGHT AND ALARM GO OFF AND INDICATE THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. THE SENOR AND ALARM CONTINUE TO GO OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING, TURNING THE AIR BAG OFF AND ON THROUGHOUT THE TIME THE PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT. *TR

2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RECALL PERTAINING TO THE SWITCH BLADE STYLE KEY. *TGW THE DEALER EXPLAINED TO THE CONSUMER, THE SOLUTION WAS TO REMOVE THE KEY BLADE FROM THE SIDE OF THE REMOTE HOUSING AND HANG A NEW KEY ON THE HOUSING ALONG WITH THE HOUSE KEY. THE CONSUMER STATED A HUGE HOLE WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSING. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING, THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SENSOR MAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

BROUGHT MY CAMARO TO DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL 14294, IGNITION KEY PROBLEM. THE SOLUTION OF REMOVING THE BLADE FROM THE "FLIP" KEY AND ADDING A SEPARATE KEY CREATES A WORSE PROBLEM. ONE, IT WEIGHS MORE DEFEATING THE RECALL CONCERN AND TWO HANGS LOWER INCREASING THE PROBABILITY OF HITTING YOUR KNEE, AGAIN DEFEATING THE REASON FOR THE RECALL AND ADDING A POTENTIAL MEDICAL CONCERN. AND WE WOULD BE RECEIVING AN INFERIOR DESIGN TO WHAT I BOUGHT. I TOLD THEM TO CHANGE IT BACK BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE FLAWS. SINCE THEY STILL SELL THE CARS WITH THE "FLIP" KEY, WHY CANT THEY JUST REPLACE THE KEYS COMPLETE AND NOT JUST BAND AID THE PROBLEM. I BROKE THE BLADE OF THE "FLIP" KEY ON MY 2011 EQUINOX AND COULDN'T JUST REPLACE THE BLADE....A NEW KEY HAD TO BE ORDERED AND BOTH KEYS REPROGRAMMED AT THE COST OF $140. BOTTOM LINE IS THEY SHOULD REPLACE DEFECTIVE MATERIAL WITH SOMETHING EQUAL OR BETTER. AS CONSUMERS WE SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED FOR THEIR DESIGN MISTAKE....ESPECIALLY TWICE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER'S PRESENT DETECTION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

APPROACHING A THREE-WAY INTERSECTION WITH A STOP SIGN WITH INTENT TO STOP AND TURN RIGHT. VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT ACCELERATOR INPUT FROM DRIVER. DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO BRAKE/STOP VEHICLE OR EFFECTIVELY CONTROL STEERING/PATH OF TRAVEL. VEHICLE, ACCORDING TO STATE PATROL, GAINS AN ESTIMATED SPEED OF 65 MPH THROUGH INTERSECTION AND COLLIDES WITH EMBANKMENT/MOUNTAIN HILLSIDE. AT THIS TIME, CAR BECAME AIRBORNE TO AN ESTIMATED HEIGHT OF 28' AND LANDED ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE FIRST. FRONT AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. DRIVER SUSTAINED A SERIOUS TBI(TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY) & CONCUSSION DUE TO BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA TO THE HEAD DUE TO LACK OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. OWNER STILL CONTINUES TO SUFFER FROM SIDE EFFECTS OF THE TBI INJURY AND WANTS TO NOTIFY THE PUBLIC THAT LIFE-THREATENING ISSUES EXIST WITH THIS VEHICLE. TO DATE, GM HAS ISSUED TWO MAJOR RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE PERTAINING TO WHAT LEAD/CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO IN MARCH OF 2011 FROM A CHEVROLET DEALER IN GEORGIA. SINCE THAT PURCHASE, THE AIRBAG SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHT/ALERT SYSTEM HAS ACTIVATED THREE (3) TIMES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR ON ALL THREE OCCASIONS FOR REPAIR (04/26/12, 09/8/12 AND 10/5/13). AS OF TODAY'S DATE, THE AIRBAG SERVICE INDICATOR HAS NOW ACTIVATED AGAIN FOR A FOURTH (4) TIME. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AT ANY TIME DURING MY OWNERSHIP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V346000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER'S REMEDY SUGGESTION WAS INSUFFICIENT. THE CONTACT DID NOT AGREE WITH THE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTING OF THE DRIVER SEAT AND THE ADDITION OF A HEAVY KEY FOB. THE WEIGHT OF THE KEY FOB PLACED ON THE RIGHT KNEE MIGHT CAUSE MEDICAL CONCERNS. THE CONTACT COMMUNICATED TO THE DEALER THE CONCERN OF THE RECALL REMEDY SUGGESTION AND WILL NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED PER THE RECALL NOTIFICATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. UPDATED 10/23/14*CN

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY, AND NOW, STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I WOKE UP ONE DAY TO FIND THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT UNTIL I WENT TO GET THE CAR INSPECTED. THE CAR WAS REJECTED DUE TO THE LIGHT BEING ON. THE DEALERSHIP, WHO HAS DONE ALL THE SERVICE SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, TOLD US IT WOULD BE $90 TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO BE ON. IT TURNS OUT IT IS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR UNTIL THE SEAT, THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 32,000 MILES ON IT. THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS NOT BEEN USED ENOUGH FOR IT TO BE WORN DOWN. THE COST TO CURE THIS IS $729! FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE ISSUE. MY DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH HAD THE SAME THING. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE SEEN OTHER CAMARO OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. I HAVE FILED A COMPLIANT WITH GM AND I AM AWAITING THEIR FINDINGS. *TR

GM SAFETY RECALL 14294, WE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION KEY PRIOR TO THE RECALL. WE TOOK OUR CAMARO TO THE GM DEALERSHIP, HAD THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. UPON DRIVING THE CAMARO AFTER THE IGNITION KEY WAS CHANGED DUE TO THE RECALL, IT IS NOW MORE OF A SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE KEY ACTUALLY DANGLING DOWN ON OUR KNEE/LEGS WHILE DRIVING. WE WOULD APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE PREVIOUS IGNITION KEY REFIGURED AS IT WAS WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAMARO AS WE HAD NO PROBLEMS/ISSUES WITH IT PRIOR TO FOLLOWING THE RECALL INSTRUCTIONS OF TAKING OUR CAMARO TO THE DEALER. *TR

MY CAR BEGAN TO OVER HEAT CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY LOSE POWER. ALSO CAUSED FOGGED WINDSHIELD .. THE HEATER CORE ON THE CAMARO FROM 2010 - 2013 ARE HAVING MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING THE CAR TO OVERHEAT AND OR SPILL BOILING LIQUID ONTO YOUR PASSENGERS FEET, IF YOU WERE TO HAVE A PASSENGER START TO SCREAM WHEN THIS BURNING LIQUID WERE TO HIT THEIR FEET WHILE WEARING HIGH HEELS OR SANDALS YOU CAN EASILY GET DISTRACTED AND LOSE CONTROL OF YOU VEHICLE FROM JUST SOMEONE SCREAMING OUT OF NOW WHERE, THERE ARE COUNTLESS STORIES ON THE CAMARO FORUM ABOUT THESE HEATER CORES GOING BAD.. OTHERS EXPERIENCE COUNTING FOGGED WINDSHIELD WHICH COULD CAUSE A VISIBILITY ISSUE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND A VEHICLE BREAKDOWN CAUSING A ACCIDENT IF YOU BREAK DOWN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC... MY CAMARO IS AT THE DEALER NOW GETTING DIAGNOSED . BUT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AS A RECALL AND SHOULD BE.. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

WHILE RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT SWITCH FROM ON TO OFF SETTING SEVERAL TIMES RIDING DOWN THE ROAD, IT WOULD STAY ON THE OFF POSITION FOR SOMETIMES AND THEN SWITCH TO ON SETTING, YOU WOULD HAVE TO TOUCH THE MENU BUTTON IN THE CAR TO GET THE ALARM FROM BEEPING. I CHECK AND FOUND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SERVICE BULLETINS OUT ON THIS ISSUE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASE AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME A SERVICE FEE OF $110.00 BECAUSE THE CAR JUST HAS WENT OUT OF WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. IF I AM RIDING IN THE CAR WITH THE AIR BAG OFF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I DO NOT WANT TO LOOSE MY LIFE OVER SOMETHING THAT GM SHOULD REPAIR AND HAS KNOWN ABOUT SINCE 2009. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECT TO REPAIR THE AIR BAG, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND LIVES ARE AT RISK. *TR

MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 2 YEARS NOW. I HAVE TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 7 TIMES TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY WHEN I TOOK IT IN SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY ANY MONEY FOR THE SERVICES. OUT OF ALL SEVEN TIMES THEY NEVER FIXED THE AIR BAG. NOW I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME $109 FOR SERVICES TO FIX MY AIRBAG. THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 2 YEARS, MEANING IF I GET INTO A WRECK MY AIRBAG WON'T WORK. EVERY TIME MY CAR WAS RELEASED FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MY AIR BAG LIGHT IMMEDIATELY CAME BACK ON AFTER THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS ADJUSTED. I SUPPOSE ALL THEY DID WAS WIGGLE THE WIRE UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT TO GET THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO GO OFF IN ORDER TO RETURN MY CAR TO ME KNOWING THAT IT WASN'T FIXED. NOW THEY ARE CHARGING ME MONEY TO GET THE AIR BAG FIXED WHEN IT'S NOT MY FAULT THE AIRBAG DOESN'T WORK. I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE AT FAULT FOR THIS PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, WHILE MY CAR WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICES DEPARTMENT THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A RENTAL FROM ENTERPRISE. BUT THEY USED MY INSURANCE COMPANY INSTEAD OF PAYING $17 A DAY FOR ENTERPRISE'S INSURANCE COMPANY. I BELIEVE THIS IS WRONG BECAUSE IT IS THE MANUFACTURER'S FAULT THAT MY AIR BAG SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY AND THEY SHOULD PAY FOR ENTERPRISE'S INSURANCE ON THE RENTAL CAR I WAS PROVIDED WITH. THE TRUNK OF MY CAR ALSO IS BROKE AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME $182 IN ORDER TO GET IT FIXED BUT I HAVE FULL COVERAGE WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

I GOT IN, I STARTED MY CAR AT 5:30AM, ALL WAYS NORMAL. I PUT IT IN REVERSE GOT OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING. I PRESSED THE GAS A LITTLE AND I SEAMED LIKE THE CAR WANTED TO TURN OFF AND THE GEAR GAUGE WAS GOING UP AND DOWN AND STILL SHAKING. I STOPPED PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE CAR, WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, THE CAR WAS STILL SHAKING, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO DRIVE TO WORK. IT WAS ABOUT 18 MINUTES AWAY, THE WHOLE WAY THERE THE CAR WAS STILL SHAKING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON, AND IT FELT LIKE THE CAR DIDN'T HAVE ANY MUSCLE TO IT AND WANTED TO DIE WHILE DRIVING. *TR

THE AIRBAG NEED SERVICE ALERT CAME ON WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND I ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE NEXT MORNING I CALLED IVORY CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THE EARLIEST I COULD BE SEEN WAS MONDAY @ 8:30AM ,BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAD ONE PERSON THAT COULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I ARRIVED @ 7:45AM. AT 9:00AM I WAS ASKED, WHAT'S MY ISSUE AND AT 11:00 I ASKED WHY IT WAS TAKING SO LONG FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD SOMEONE WILL CHECK. GUY APPROACH ME @ 12:00 AND ADVICE ME THAT THEY RESET THE SENSOR AND TO KEEP MY PURSE OUT OF THE CAR SEAT. THREE DAYS LATER THE AIRBAG ALERT & TIRE ALERT CAME ON. ONSTAR SYSTEM DO NOT SHOW DATA FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. I SPOKE WITH A SERVICEMAN @ IVORY AND WAS TOLD TO COME BACK IN. I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND REQUEST AN EXPLANATION. *JS

I SAW SPOTS OF LIQUID ON MY DRIVEWAY AND WHEN I CHECKED MY CAR'S VARIOUS FLUID LEVELS, THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS SO LOW IT DIDN'T SHOW ON THE DIP STICK. I CONTACTED MY DEALER SERVICE CENTER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT RIGHT AWAY. THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE INNER SEAL ON THE STEERING GEAR HAD FAILED. IT WAS NOT DUE TO AN ACCIDENT, COLLISION, HITTING A POTHOLE OR ANYTHING CAUSED BY ME. THIS WAS A FACTORY FAILURE AND A PROBLEM THAT IS VERY RARE ON CARS WITH MILEAGE THAT LOW (SO I WAS TOLD). THE CAR WAS JUST OVER 5000 MILES OUTSIDE ITS FACTORY WARRANTY AND THE REPAIR COST ME $1034.07. FORTUNATELY, THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS NOT DAMAGED FROM BEING COMPLETELY OUT OF FLUID OR THE REPAIR WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE COSTLY. THE MOST DISTURBING THING IS THAT I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING OF THIS PROBLEM AT ALL. IT WAS A SUDDEN AND COMPLETE FAILURE. *TR

ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THE SERVICE AIRBAG INDICATOR HAS TURNED ON IN MY CAR. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EACH TIME WITH WORK LISTED AS CONNECTIONS CLEANED, SENSOR CHECKED, WARNING RESET.....BUT NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AND NOTHING NOTED AS DEFECTIVE. I'VE BEEN TOLD PUTTING A LAP TOP ON THE PASSENGER SEAT COULD SET OFF THE SENSOR.....A BLUE-TOOTH CALL COULD SET OFF THE SENSOR, BUT NOT WHY? MOST RECENT TRIP (#5) TO HENDRICKS MOTORS WAS 04/24/2014. WE PICKED THE CAR UP, RAN ERRANDS (APPX. 40 MILES) AND THE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN - THE SAME DAY! I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE AIR BAGS WILL STILL DEPLOY, THE AIR BAGS MIGHT DEPLOY, AND THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY, AS LONG AS THE SERVICE LIGHT IS ON. WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP? I AM TRYING TO DOCUMENT EVERYTHING IN CASE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND THE BAGS DON'T DEPLOY.

I HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS CAMARO IN FEBRUARY, NOT KNOWING THAT THESE TIRES WERE NOT TO BE USED IN COLD WEATHER. WE HAD SOME VERY COLD WEATHER IN THE LAST PART OF FEBRUARY AND I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAMARO TO WORK. WHEN I ENTERED THE PAVED ROAD IT STARTED TO SPIN THE TIRES ON THE PAVEMENT. THERE WAS NO MOISTURE ON THE ROADS AND NO REASON TO LOOSE TRACTION. WHEN I GOT HOME I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON LINE AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE TIRES BEING WARM WEATHER TIRES ONLY. I THINK CHEVROLET SHOULD REPLACE THE TIRES WITH ALL WEATHER TIRES. PS TIRES WERE NOT LISTED I HAD TO USE UNKNOWN OR OTHER TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS SITE. THANKS *TR

I WAS LEAVING WORK ONE DAY WITH NO ONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT... I GOT A ERROR SAYING SERVICE AIRBAG. I CALLED THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY SAID MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.. THIS IS THE ONLY DEALERSHIP IN MY TOWN THE NEXT DEALER IS 250 MILES AWAY.. WHEN A PASSENGER GETS IN THE CAR I GET THE ERROR EVERY 2 MINUTES IT WORKS THEN IT DOESN'T IT WILL STATE THE AIRBAG IS ON AND SECONDS LATER IT SAYS IT'S OFF AND A PASSENGER IS BUCKLED UP IN THE MOVING CAR... I'M AFRAID IT WILL DEPLOY WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR... PLEASE DO A RECALL ON THE 2011 CAMARO I SEARCHED RECALLS AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR ALL 2010 AND 2012 CAMARO AIRBAGS... WHY SKIP 2011 IF SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE PREVIOUS AND FOLLOWING YEAR THEN THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE 2011 AS WELL..

WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH MY CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I SAFELY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CHECKED THE ENGINE COULD PHYSICALLY SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I CHECKED THE OIL AND THE DIPSTICK WAS ALMOST DRY. MY OIL CHANGE WAS OVERDUE BY 3000 MILES. LAST OIL CHANGED I USED FULL SYNTHETIC OIL THINKING I COULD GO A LITTLE FURTHER BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. NEVER RECEIVED A OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT ON MY DISPLAY. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED SOME TYPE OF INDICATION THAT MY OIL PRESSURE OR OIL LEVEL WAS LOW. NOW LEFT WITH THE HIGH COST OF REPLACING THE ENGINE. *TR

THROTTLE BODY POSITIONER IS BAD AFTER BARELY OVER 3 YEARS OF USE. WAS REDUCING SPEED FROM 55 TO 0, AFTER COMING OFF A HIGHWAY APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, AND WHILE IN NEUTRAL "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" WARNING DISPLAYED ON SCREEN, VEHICLE BEGAN IDLING IRREGULARLY (BOUNCING BETWEEN 800 AND 1100 RPMS) AND THEN WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WAS ABLE TO LIMP AT ABOUT 20 MPH UNTIL I REACHED A PARKING LOT, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED AND IT WAS FINE AGAIN. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS RECENTLY, GM MECHANIC SAID THROTTLE BODY POSITIONER WAS DETERMINED TO BE AT FAULT. SHOULD NOT BE ANY FAULTS AFTER 3 YEARS AND 40K UNLESS THE PART ITSELF IS FAULTY. *TR

HAVING ISSUES WITH CAR MAINTAINING OIL LEVELS. 1ST INSTANCE DID OIL CONSUMPTION THEN FOUND IT WAS LEAKING FROM ENGINE SEAL, REPLACED THAT THEN ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION @ 1000 MILES LATER TO FIND OUT IT WAS LEAKING FROM SOME SORT OF PLUG, REPLACED THAT, ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST @ 2000 MILES TO ONLY FIND OUT IT WAS LOW ON OIL AGAIN, GM TOLD THE DEALER TO DO A TOP ENGINE CLEANER ON IT. THEN GM REPLACED THE WHOLE ENGINE COVER ASSEMBLY AND SEALS AND INFORMED ME THAT YOU COULDN'T USE DEXTOSE FULL SYNTHETIC BECAUSE THE SEALS AND RINGS WOULDN'T SIT RIGHT AND THAT OIL WAS MADE FOR CORVETTES AND CADILLAC , THREE DAYS LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY JUST CLEARED THE CODE AND TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT. NOT EVEN 1/2 WAY HOME NOTICED THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE, CALLED DEALER AND TOOK IT BACK, FINDING OUT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS BAD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPLACED THAT. IT'S ONLY BEEN 2000 AND NOW THE OIL LEVEL IS ON THE END OF THE DIP STICK. WHEN SPEAKING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER HE SAID NOT TO GO BY THE OIL % LIFE ON THE CAR AS IT WASN'T ACCURATE. TO CHANGE AT 5000 MILES. BUT BEING AT THE END OF THE DIP STICK THE MATH ISN'T ADDING UP.
