The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that the radio module would intermittently shut off without warning while driving at various speeds. Due to the failure, the contact was unable to actuate the defroster or hear the turn signals. The dealer was notified of the failure and was given a diagnostic fee to inspect the vehicle. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and informed him that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Radio has been popping on and off for 4 years. Now it only Works randomly. The heat and air will not work without the radio working and you can not hear blinkers going. There are thousands of exact same complaints for this vehicle… why is this not being recalled?
Hello, My name is Sharris Bridges, I’m the owner of a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro. I currently can’t defrost my car and can’t see the road because I have no heat. The Chevrolet Camaro has a issue with the blend door (temperature control door). It’s a piece of plastic that breaks which causes you not to have any heat. I was told by the dealership I would’ve to get the dash and windshield taken out just to get the blend door fixed. The bill they showed me was $2036 (majority in labor) for a issue that plenty people are having with the Camaro. This should be a recall! I’ve no heat, I can’t defrost my car, and more. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K0jajaoc-ro https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s0gakV_mGiY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Py-2ukNVAGs https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tL3CaKzVKm4
I’ve two pictures that I didn’t upload to the complaint about the Chevrolet Camaro blend door issue that I just submitted.

INTERMITANTLY THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. YOU HAVE TO FORCE THE SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR THEN INTO SECOND, AND I AM TALKING REALLY FORCING SHIFTER INTO GEAR.... AT TIMES THE SHIFTER WILL NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR... THEN OTHER TIMES IT RUNS JUST PERFECTLY... IT IS HAPPENING MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY AND IS DANGEROUS.

OR PAYING FOR A REPAIR AND PROBLEM PERSISTS.

PLEASE HELP ME. I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH ROTOLO CHEVROLET IN FONTANA, CALIFORNIA PROVIDING ME WITH A NEW REPLACEMENT KEY IN EXCHANGE FOR THE CAMARO KNEE-KEY RECALL NO. 14V346KEY WITHOUT CHARGE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR WITH THE ORIGINAL KEY THAT CAME WITH THE CAMARO, MY SAFETY IS AT RISK, AND ROTOLO CHEVROLET IS WRONGFULLY CHARGING $506.00 FOR THE RECALL REPLACEMENT I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO (VIN: [XXX]) AND I ONLY HAVE THE ORIGINAL KEY THAT CAME WITH THE CAR WHEN PURCHASED IN 2013 (SEE PICTURES). ON SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 2021, I HAD AN 11:30 A.M. APPOINTMENT WITH ROTOLO CHEVROLET IN FONTANA, CALIFORNIA TO REPLACE MY ORIGINAL KEY DUE IT BEING RECALLED. ROTOLO CHEVROLET ADVISOR [XXX] SAID I HAD TO PAY $506.00. [XXX] SAID THAT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE ORIGINAL KEY (HE HELD MY KEY PERSONALLY AND CONFIRMED IT WAS THE ORIGINAL; NOT A RECALL REPLACEMENT TWO-PART KEY) HE CANNOT REPLACE THE KEY UNLESS I PAY FOR IT AS HIS PAPERWORK SAYS THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED. I EXPLAINED HIS RECORD IS INCORRECT AS THE ONLY KEY I HAVE IS THE ORIGINAL. WHILE AT ROTOLO CHEVROLET, I PLACED AN ORDER FOR A NEW KEY EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT AGREE WITH BEING CHARGED $506.00 FOR A RECALL REPLACEMENT KEY. I HAD TO CONTINUE WITH THE PROCESS TO ORDER A NEW KEY BECAUSE OF MY SAFETY. DUE TO THE RECEIPT STATING DECLINED REPAIRS, I CALLED ROTOLO CHEVROLET ON MONDAY, APRIL 5, 2021. I SPOKE WITH ALMA AND SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO EXPLAIN MY RECALL KEY MATTER WITH A MANAGER ([XXX]), AND TRANSFERRED ME TO [XXX]. REGARDING THE ERROR ON THE RECEIPT STATING I DECLINED THE REPLACEMENT KEY. I ONLY DECLINED THE CHARGE OF $1,492.00, DUE TO A SHORT IN THE CONNECTION TO MY ONSTAR AND RADIO. THIS WAS TOO EXPENSIVE. THEY ALSO CHARGED ME $180.00 FOR NO WORK DONE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING. SOON AFTER THE HEAT/AIR BLOWING WAS KICKING ON AND OFF. EVEN WHEN BLOWING YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE. THEN THE GAUGES STARTED BLINKING AND HAVE NOT CAME BACK ON FOR A WHILE. YOU CANNOT HEAR YOUR TURN SIGNALS OR SEE ANYTHING ON THE CONTROL SCREEN.
RADIO TURNING OFF AND NOT WORKING
MY RADIO TURNS ON AND OFF-VERY DISTRACTING TO MY DRIVING AND MAKES A LOUD POPPING SOUND FROM SPEAKERS-WHICH IS STARTLING. ALONG WITH THIS MY DEFROST TURNS ON AND OFF WHICH SOMETIMES LIMITS MY VISIBILITY. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED AND WHILE DRIVING INTERMITTENTLY. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 20 TIMES WHILE DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE OF ABOUT 10 MILES. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE.
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY RADIO FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS NOW. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN I PRESSED ON MY BRAKES IN A CITY STREET AND THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS. I FOUND IT ODD, BUT IGNORED IT INITIALLY. THIS PROBLEM STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE REGULARLY, WITH A STRONG ASSOCIATION BETWEEN THE RADIO TURNING OFF AND BACK ON TO USING THE BRAKES ON MY CAR. OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS, THE PROBLEM BECAME MORE SIGNIFICANT, HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY DURING MY DRIVES, AND NO LONGER ASSOCIATED WITH BRAKING, IT WOULD JUST HAPPEN RANDOMLY NOW. THE RADIO WOULD TURN ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY DURING MY DRIVES, WHETHER I WAS ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. AT THIS POINT, MY AIR WOULD ALSO TURN ON AND OFF WHEN THE RADIO WOULD START GLITCHING. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I WOULD TURN ON MY CAR AND THE RADIO JUST WOULDN'T TURN ON AT ALL. THERE WAS ONE TIME THAT IT TOOK 20 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE FOR THE RADIO TO FINALLY TURN ON, ONLY FOR IT TO START TURNING ON AND OFF AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM CAN BE VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. AS A RESULT, I HAD TO REMOVE THE RADIO FROM MY CAR AND I JUST DRIVE IN SILENCE. THE AIR NO LONGER TURNS ON AND OFF AND I CAN DRIVE PEACEFULLY, EVEN THOUGH I WOULD LOVE TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO WHILE I DRIVE.
AIR BAG LIGHT ON
DRIVERS SEAT RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING AND SPRINGS UP AND DOWN. CANNOT BE ADJUSTED TO A SAFE DRIVING HEIGHT.
SO MY AC AND STEREO WAS WORKING GOOD BUT SUDDENLY IT STARTED TURNING OFF ITSELF. THEN WHENEVER I TURN ON MY CAR IT STARTS WORKING. BUT AFTER 1-2 MONTHS IT STOPPED WORKING AT ALL. THIS IS SAME ISSUE AS OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWNS CAMARO HAVE IT. I TRIED TO TOOK TO MECHANIC NOBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT'S GOING ON. NOW IT'S NOT WORKING AT ALL. STEREO IS NOT COMING UP AT ALL. AC AND HEATER DOESN'T WORK.
MY ZL1 CAMARO HAS HAD A ELECTRONIC STEERING (EPS) FAILURE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD. APPARENTLY, FAILURE OF EPS IS COMMON WITH THE CAMARO AND GM/CHEVROLET HAS A TSB ISSUED TO HELP DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE. TSB DOCUMENT IS PIC5643E. I HAVE ATTACHED IT HERE. THIS CAN HAS 40,070 MILES ON IT AND IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. THE CHEVROLET DEALER JUST DIAGNOSED THIS ISSUE, AND TRIED TO CHARGE ME $2600 FOR REPLACING THIS PART. THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM, AND IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITHOUT THIS STEERING WORKING. THIS IS ALSO A $60,000 CAR. NO ONE AT CHEVROLET IS DOING ANYTHING TO HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. I HOPE THIS COMPLAINT WILL BE HELPFUL TO SOMEONE IN THE FUTURE.
WHILE DRIVING, MY RADIO WILL POP AND SHUT OFF, WHICH ALSO CAUSES MY AC TO NOT WORK. RECENTLY IT HAS ALSO EFFECTED MY TURN SIGNALS AND OTHER DASH BOARD AREAS AND IT DOES IT NO MATTER IF I'M LEGIT DRIVING OR SITTING STILL. THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDRED OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS FIXED IT YET! *TR
MY CAR IS FROM 2013, IT HAS BARELY 68 THOUSAND MILES, IT DOES NOT HAVE MUCH MILEAGE WHICH I ONLY USE TO TRANSPORT MYSELF TO WORK AND HOME, I HAVE BEEN AND ASKING IN THE TRAILER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THAT I HAVE, I EVEN TOOK IT TO THE TRAILER BEFORE THE FACTORY WARRANTY WILL BE TERMINATED AND THEY NEVER WANTED TO HELP ME, THE CAR IS MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND HAS PROBLEMS MAKING THE CHANGE FROM FIRST SPEED TO SECOND SPEED, THE SECOND DOES NOT ENTER, IT IS ONLY THE PROBLEM WHEN CHANGING TO THE SECOND SPEED IN THE REST I HAVE NO PROBLEM SO IF I NEED TO CHECK THAT PROBLEM BECAUSE FOR THE MILES THAT THE CAR HAS, IT IS NOT REASONABLE FOR ME TO HAVE THAT PROBLEM AND TO BE A NOT VERY CHEAP CAR I THINK THAT IS VERY BAD THAT

BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR LEAKING AND DRIPPING OVER ENGINE INTERNALS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GM: SEE SERVICE BULLETIN: 09-05-22-005C. HOWEVER, GM IS STATING THIS WILL NOT BE REPAIRED UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. UPON ENCOUNTERING SOME BRAKING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE, I INSPECTED THE RESERVOIR AND DISCOVERED THE LEAKING FLUID, WHICH HAS STARTED TO EAT AWAY AT THE PAINT IN THE ENGINE BAY. I'M VERY CONCERNED THE FLUID WILL LEAK OUT AND CAUSE A FIRE, OR CAUSE MY BREAKS TO STOP WORKING COMPLETELY. AS AN ATTORNEY, I WOULD THINK THAT GM WOULD WANT TO LIMIT ITS LIABILITY AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE TO, REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY COVERAGE. SHOULDN'T THIS BE A FORMAL RECALL?
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED AS INTENDED.

I'M HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES CAUSING MY RADIO, AC, AND TURN SIGNALS TO MALFUNCTION. IN ADDITION IT'S MAKING LOUD AND DISTRACTING POPPING AND SQUEALING NOISES, AND SOUNDS THAT MAY BE ELECTRICAL SPARKING NOISES. GM TOLD ME IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY DON'T CARE. IT HAPPENS WHENEVER THE IGNITION IS ON (ALL TYPES OF STREETS & FREEWAY), BUT NOT IN ACCESSORY. *TR
SHORTLY AFTER I START MY CAR AND TURN ON THE RADIO A LOAD POPPING SOUND WILL COME THROUGH THE SPEAKERS AND THE SOUND FROM THE RADIO WILL GO OFF. THE RADIO PANEL WILL STAY LIT, BUT NO SOUND WILL COME OUT AND THE BUTTONS ON THE RADIO WILL NOT WORK. IT ALSO WILL NOT ACCEPT A CD. IT WILL STAY LIKE THIS FOR AWHILE. THE NEXT TIME I START CAR IT WILL DO THE SAME THING. IT USED TO DO THIS RANDOMLY AT FIRST WITH NO RHYME OR REASON FOR IT. IT STARTED MORE THAN 6 MONTHS AGO AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE. IT USED TO PLAY A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE POPPING SOUND AND NO SOUND. NOW IT ONLY STAYS ON SECONDS, POPS AND GOES OFF. SOMETIMES IT WON'T WORK AGAIN FOR HOURS OR DAYS. AT FIRST I HEARD LOUD STATIC IN MY SPEAKERS WHEN I USED THE TURN SIGNALS, BUT NOT ANYMORE. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AN SPECIFIC PATTERN. I DO SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME OR VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR CAMAROS. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL. IT'S OBVIOUSLY A BIG PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF CAMARO OWNERS ARE HAVING. IT HAPPENS WHEN IT'S STATIONARY AND/OR IN MOTION.
HVAC BLEND DOOR FAILS DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN. THIS CAUSES THE AC TO PERFORM INCORRECTLY AND ONLY BLOW HOT AIR IN THE WARM/HOT SEASON. USING THE HEATER IN THE WINTER MELTS THE BLEND DOOR HINGE CAUSING THIS MALFUNCTION.

MY STEERING COLUMN CAME COMPLETELY OUT AND PINNED ME BACK TO THE SEAT AND ALMOST WENT THROUGH THE ROOF OF THE CAR. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS HIT AT AN ESTIMATED SPEED OF 60-65 MPH. THE GUY NEVER HIT HIS BRAKES BUT HIT ME AND PUSHED ME THROUGH THE LIGHT. PICTURES ARE POSTED. THE SCRATCH MARK IS OF THE ROOF, WHERE STEERING COLUMN ALMOST WENT THROUGH IT. GM DID SEND AN ENGINEER DOWN TO MY HOUSE TO INVESTIGATE, HE WAS THERE 5 HRS AND WHEN HE LEFT HE WAS STILL SHOCKED THAT A REAR END AND IT DID THIS. HE DID SAY THAT IF I HAD OF BEEN HIT IN THE HEAD AREA I WOULD BE DEAD. I DID HAVE SURGERY ON MY LEFT THUMB AND WRIST I HAD A RUPTURE OF THE ULNAR COLLATERAL LIGAMENT WITH AVULSION TO MY LEFT THUMB.

THE HIGH MOUNT LED BRAKE LIGHT IS MOUNTED ON THE REAR WINDSHIELD AT AN ANGLE THAT RECEIVES DIRECT HEAT FROM THE SUN CAUSING A SLIM CRACK ON THE BRAKE LED BOARD. THE CRACK WILL SHIFT BACK AND FORTH SOMETIMES ILLUMINATING WHEN BRAKING BUT AT TIMES THE SLIM CRACK ON THE LED BOARD WILL PREVENT THE LAMP FROM ILLUMINATING CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD TO PASSENGERS OF INSUFFICIENT BRAKE NOTIFICATION TO TRAFFIC FOLLOWING BEHIND. A REPLACEMENT LED LAMP WILL SUFFER THE SAME FATE BASED ON THE ANGLE OF THE LAMP POSITIONED FACING THE DIRECT HEAT OF THE SUN. I WAS IN MOTION AND PULLED OVER BY LE BECAUSE THE LAMP WAS OUT BUT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THE OFFICER AND I TESTED IT. MECHANICS INSPECTED THE LAMP AND FOUND THE SLIM CRACK ON THE LED BOARD THAT ALLOWED SHIFTING OF CONTACTS. DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPORTED THIS SLIM CRACK ON THE LED BOARD AS A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO THE INTENSE HEAT OF THE SUN BEARING DOWN ON THE LED LAMP WHICH IS ANGLED OUT WITH NO VISOR.
THE FACTORY RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON WITH BLINKING LIGHTS ON THE RADIO ITSELF ALONG WITH THE A/C UNIT SHUTTING DOWN AND BACK UP. THE TURN SIGNAL ALSO DO NOT MAKE ANY SOUND.

THEY DO NOT MAKE MY RADIO ANY MORE. SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DEVICE.
TAKATA RECALL, I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY CITY STREET WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I BELIEVE IT WAS A POT HOLE OR JUST UNEVEN GRAVEL LEADING MY KNEE HIT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IN THAT SECOND I HAD NO CONTROL OR CONTROL OF WHAT HAPPENED NEXT. I COULD NOT BRAKE, MY SEAT BELT LOCKED ON ME HURTING MY COLLAR BONE, THEN MY WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO TURN I WAS USING BOTH HANDS AGGRESSIVELY TO TURN AS HARD AS I CAN JUST SO I WOULDN'T HIT A BUILDING OR CAUSE DAMAGE TO OTHERS AND AS I WAS STERLING I WOULD KEEP PRESSING THE BRAKES AND THEY WERE JUST LOCKED. I HAD TO HIT A BARRIER OF WOOD TO STOP MY CAR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS WELL WHICH WAS VERY SCARY. I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IT WAS NOT MY FAULT, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED AND I KNOW IT'S BECAUSE OF THE KEY BEING BUMPED. MY RECALL # 14V346000 ACCIDENTAL BUMPING OF KEY IGNITION. I HAD NO IDEA THIS CAR HAD A RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT INFORM ME EITHER. I AM NOW CAR -LESS AND HOPING TO GET SOMEWHAT TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE AND I DON'T WISH THIS ON ANYONE. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE.
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN BLINDED BY THE SUN BECAUSE OF THE USELESSNESS OF THE SMALL SUNVISOR. THIS HAS OCCURRED BOTH WITH FRONT VISIBILITY OR TRYING TO SHIELD EYES FROM THE SIDE WINDOW. MY PASSENGERS HAVE ALSO BEEN EFFECTED THE SAME WAY. THE VISORS ARE NOT DEEP OR LONG ENOUGH RESPECTIVELY TO BE OF ANY VALUE. THIS CONCERN IS MORE SEVERE WHEN EXPRESS WAY DRIVING OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WHICH I HAVE RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED AND PROMPTED THIS REPORTING.
RADIO CUTS ON AND OFF. RADIO WON'T TURN ON ATA ALL AND WHEN RADIO IS OFF BLINKER CLICK NOISE WON'T SOUND, DOOR OPEN WON'T SOUND, AND SOUND SIGNALING YOU LEFT KEYS IN IGNITION WON'T SOUND.

IN ADDITION, GILLMAN CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (1801 INDUSTRIAL WAY #1C, SAN BENITO, TX 78586, (956) 399-2491) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THAT A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT NEEDED TO BE SCHEDULED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V346000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.
TRUNK IS MADE IN A FAULTY MANNER AND GETS JAMMED. IF YOU LOOK ONLINE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. THE TRUNK SLAMS ON TO THE FOLDING REAR COMPARTMENT FUSE BLOCK WIRING. THIS DISCONNETS THE FUSE BLOCK WIRING AND THEN THE REMOTE TRUNK BUTTON AND DOOR TRUCK BUTTON IS RENDERED USELESS AND THE TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN UNLESS YOU CRAWL THROUGH THE BACK SEAT AND FORCE YOURSELF INTO THE TRUNK AND PULL ON THE EMERGENCY TRUNK LEVER. THIS IS NOT SAFE TO DO EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU NEED ACCESS TO THE TRUNK AND IS A FAULTY DESIGN BY CHEVROLET IF A MULTITUDE OF CHEVY CAMAROS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. BEFORE THIS, THE TRUNK FUNCTIONED FINE AND NOTHING WAS DONE DIFFERENTLY. THIS FAULTINESS STARTED ON ITS OWN.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUDIO WARNING SYSTEM BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT INITIALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PROGRESSIVE CHEVROLET (8000 HILLS AND DALES RD NW, MASSILLON, OH 44646, (330) 879-3697) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AUDIO SYSTEM HEAD UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.
THIS VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. I RECENTLY PURCHASED IT FROM A LARGE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THE HEAT STOPPED WORKING ONE WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT. ONE DAY I WENT TO START THE CAR AND THE HEATER BLEW COLD AIR. IHAD IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD IT'S A BAD HEATER CORE. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER IT AND THE REPAIR WILL COST OVER $1000 ON A VEHICLE THAT I'VE HAD JUST OVER A MONTH. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO ADDRESS IT.
MY CAR SUDDENLY DIED WITHOUT WARNING NO SERVICE OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAR WOULD NOT RESTART I WAS BARELY MOVING AS I WAS LEAVING WORK STILL IN PARKING LOT GETTING READY TO GO THROUGH THE SECURITY GATE PEOPLE I ASK WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT SAY IT SEEMS CAR LOST COMPRESSION ONLY HAD 12599 MILES STILL WAITING FOR MECHANIC TO LOOK AT MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THINK THE TIMING BROKE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE TURN SIGNAL FLASHER SPED UP AND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. ALSO, THE RADIO DID NOT TURN ON AND THE AIR CONDITIONING DID NOT WORK. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED THE FAILURES FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS, WHICH BEGAN OCCURRING EVERY DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.
HEATER CORE LEAK- AT STARTUP AND DURING DRIVING, KEEP SMELLING ANTIFREEZE. ANTIFREEZE WAS LOW SO ADDED TO FULL MARK. PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD WOULD BE SOAKED AFTER SOME DAYS OF DRIVING. HAD TESTS DONE TO FIND LEAK. IT IS BEING DIAGNOSED AT LEAKING HEATER CORE. FOUND OUT THE RADIATOR AND RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY OR EXTREMELY LOW.
FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS WHEN THE CAR IS ON AND DRIVING THE RADIO AND AC UNIT STARTED BLINKING ON AND OFF CONTINUOUSLY MAKING LOUD POPPING SOUNDS UNTIL THE RADIO SCREEN WENT COMPLETELY BLANK. THIS CAUSES THE TURN SIGNALS TO NOT MAKE ANY NOISES WHEN ON. THE TURN SIGNALS FLASH BUT HAVE NO SOUND, SEAT BELT CHIME DOES NOT WORK, PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY.
THE VEHICLES AC IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY ANYMORE. IT SEEMS THE VENTS ARE STUCK AND IT WILL BLOW COLD AIR THEN SWITCH TO HOT ON ITS OWN. I AM NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE.
I'M CONSIDERING PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE FROM A DEALERSHIP IN LOGAN, OH. WHEN I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THE MODEL, I SEE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE AC/RADIO, CLIMATE CONTROL, TURN SIGNALS AND OTHER ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT ARE COMMON TO ALL OF THESE RELATED CONSUMER COMPLAINTS THAT AS TO DATE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY EITHER THE GM CORP. OR THE NHTSA. THE 2ND THING THAT I FOUND THERE IS INDEED A RECALL CONCERNING THE IGNITION SWITCH WITH MANY OWNERS HAVING NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET GM DEALERS TO REPAIR. ANOTHER CONCERN TO ME ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, IS THAT WHEN I ENTERED THE VIN THE RESULTS ON THIS SITE STATES THAT THERE IS ZERO RECALLS ON THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. JUST WONDERING WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEATER FUNCTIONED INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT CALLED CAMPBELL CHEVROLET AT (270) 495-0711 (LOCATED AT 2151 SCOTTSVILLE RD, BOWLING GREEN, KY 42104) AND WAS INFORMED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V346000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM).

MY MAIN ISSUE WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF, I HEARD A LOUD POP COMING FROM MY SPEAKERS..MY BOYFRIEND WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEPT CHANGING FROM ON TO OFF WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED, I GET NO SEAT BELT CHIME AND THE STEREO FLASHES RAPIDLY AND GOES BLACK AND THE HEATER FAN COMES ON AND OFF I TURNED ON MY TURN SIGNAL AND NOTICED A LOUD STATIC NOISE EVERY TIME, I TURNED THE TURN SIGNAL ON. STILL NO SAFETY BELT CHIME, STEREO AND NOW THE TURN SIGNALS MAKE NO SOUND WHEN ON. (11/05/2018) AS I STARTED MY CAR THIS MORNING THE STEREO WAS FLASHING ALONG WITH THE LIGHTS AROUND THE HEATER CONTROLS AND THE FAN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND THE SCREEN ON THE RADIO WENT BLACK AND HASN'T COME BACK ON. THE HEATER FAN COMES ON FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS AND SHUTS OFF FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS. THIS OCCURS CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL I SHUT THE CAR OFF. EVERY TIME I START IT THE SAME THINGS ARE HAPPENING. WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF, I CAN HEAR A BUZZING COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE DASH THAT LASTS ABOUT 5 TO 7 SECONDS AND THEN STOPS FOR 5 TO 7 SECONDS. THIS WILL CONTINUE FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES. IT DOESN'T DO IT EVERY TIME. (11/07/2018) WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TODAY THE TRUNK OPEN LIGHT CAME ON, SO I PULLED OVER AND WENT TO THE REAR OF MY CAR AND IT WAS NOT OPEN. I PUSHED THE TRUNK OPEN BUTTON ON THE DOOR PANEL AND THE FOB SEVERAL TIMES AND IT WOULDN'T OPEN THE TRUNK. I GOT BACK IN TO THE CAR AND CONTINUED HOME AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE TRUNK WHEN I GOT HOME. SO AS OF TODAY, 11/13/2018 THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WON'T COME ON, THE FAN FOR THE HEATER/AIR CONDITIONING COMES ON AND OFF CONTINUOUSLY. THE TURN SIGNALS FLASH BUT HAVE NO SOUND, SEAT BELT CHIME DOES NOT WORK, PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY, THE TRUNK LID OPEN LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON
RADIO GOES ON AND OFF RAPIDLY . A/C GOES ON AND OFF SAME TIME AS RADIO, LOUD POPPING FROM SPEAKERS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. CAN HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED.
I OWN A 2013 CHEVY CAMARO 2LS COUPE. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR UNTIL TWO DAYS AGO WHEN THE TEMP OUTSIDE DROPPED TO 30 DEGREES. WHEN I CRANK MY CAR THE RADIO FLICKERS AND STOPS WORKING RANDOMLY WITH LOUD POPS FROM THE SPEAKERS, THE BLINKERS STOP MAKING THE CLICKING SOUND, AND THE CLIMATE CONTROLS FLICKER AND STOP WORKING WITH THE RADIO. AS OF NOW THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS COLD, AFTER I DRIVE IT FOR A FEW MILES IT WORKS FINE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE. MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 63,000.
RADIO FLICKERS ON AND OFF DISRUPTING MUSIC AND HEATING/COOLLING SYSTEM
TAKATA RECALL DEVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON INDICATING AN ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG NO FORMAL RECALL WAS DONE ON THESE CAMAROS FOR AIRBAG DEFECTS THERE WAS A LAWSUIT AGAINST GM BEFORE FOR THIS ISSUE EXPENSIVE TO FIX AND SCARY. HAD MY CAR SINCE JANUARY AND YESTERDAY I TURNED ON MY CAR TO DRIVE AND THE 'SERVICE AIRBAG' LIGHT CAME ON
2013 CHEVY CAMARO LS 3.6L V6 SIDI MY PROBLEM STARTED IN FEBRUARY 2018 THESE ARE THE FOLLOWING ISSUES BELOW: 1.MY GEAR SHIFT WILL COME OUT OF SECOND GEAR WHILE I AM SHIFTING DURING TAKEOFF ON MY DRIVE. THIS HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE SINCE LAST JULY AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AT AROUND 28,000 MILES. 2.COME FEBRUARY 2ND THIS YEAR MY RADIO STARTED CONTINUOUSLY POWERS OFF AND ON AND PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. NOW AT THIS POINT THIS IS CAUSING INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH MY A/C, BLINKERS, SEAT BELT ALARM AND LIGHTS. 3.NOW THE RADIO CONSTANTLY POWERING OFF AND ON EVEN WHEN I AM FINISHED DRIVING AND THE CAR IS PARKED AND LOCKED UP WITH THE FACTORY ALARM ACTIVATED THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF. (TODAY IS MAY 30, 2018). 4.NOW I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY MAINTAINING ENOUGH CRANKING AMPS TO START MY CAR AFTER SITTING FOR TWO DAYS. 5.LASTLY THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH ALL THE ISSUES THAT ARE LINKED TO THIS ONGOING ISSUE FOR MULTIPLE OWNERS. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE FOR MONTHS NOW BUT AS IT KEEPS PROGRESSING IT IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. 6.FINAL NOTE IF YOU HAVE AN EPILEPTIC DRIVER AND THEY MIGHT HAVE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT ON A DARK HIGHWAY LET'S HOPE THAT THE BRIGHT FLASHING DISPLAY FROM THE RADIO CONSTANTLY TURNING OFF AND ON DOES NOT CAUSE THEM TO HAVE A SEIZURE. I KNOW THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO DRIVE WHEN MY DISPLAY IS CONSTANTLY GOING OFF AND I AM UNABLE TO MAKE IT STOP SO MY EYES ARE HAVING TO CONSTANTLY ADJUST TO INTERIOR LIGHTS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL AS IF YOU ARE AT A DISCO.

THE RADIO SYSTEM- MYLINK HAD TO BE REBOOTED TWICE SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. FIRST TIME UNDER WARRANTY, SECOND TIME OUT OF WARRANTY AND HAD TO PAY $125 DIAGNOSTIC FEE FOR DEALER TO SIMPLY UPLOAD AN UPDATE THAT TOOK 10 MINUTES. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN BOTH INSTANCES.
MY RADIO, DASH LIGHTS, AND CLIMATE CONTROL PANEL FLASHES ON AND OFF THEN MAKES A POP SOUND. THE RADIO DOES NOT WORK, AND THE HEAT & AC WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL OR MOVING.
WHILE DRIVING, I HEARD A LOUD POP FROM MY SPEAKERS. MY RADIO WENT BLACK, MY LEFT BLINKER STOPPED WORKING, AND MY HEATER AND AC UNIT WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME AS MY RADIO. NOT ONLY AM I DISAPPOINTED, BUT FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I BELIEVE THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM THE DEALER. NOW MY RADIO GOES IN AND OUT WHENEVER IT WANTS, ALONG WITH MY AC/HEATER AND MY BLINKER BLINKS EXTREMELY SLOWER THAN USUAL. I AM A HUGE FAN OF CHEVY'S AND NEVER EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM LIKE THIS ONE ON ANY VEHICLE I'VE OWNED. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE RELATED BECAUSE THE AC/HEATER UNIT IS CONNECTED TO THE RADIO AND THE ONLY WAY IT CAN BE FIXED IS THROUGH THE DEALER. HOWEVER, AS I CONTINUE TO READ OTHER CONSUMERS COMPLAINTS, THE DEALERSHIPS DO NOT HAVE AN ACCURATE FIX. I HAVE BEEN REALLY GOOD WITH KEEPING UP THE MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLE, BUT THIS EXPENSE IS SOMETHING I CANNOT AFFORD RIGHT NOW, AS A SINGLE PARENT WITH A CHILD IN COLLEGE! I ALSO SEE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY OWNER WITH THIS ISSUE. I AM SURPRISED THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL AS ONE IS DEFINITELY NEEDED OR CHEVY NEEDS TO TAKE MORE PRIDE IN THEIR VEHICLES AND CREATE MORE QUALITY ONES. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE PURCHASE A CHEVY CAMARO ESPECIALLY WITH THESE HORRIFYING ISSUES. I WILL CONTACT THE CEO OF GM AND VOICE MY COMPLAINT AS WELL. IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A SIMPLE FIX, PLEASE HELP! A LOYAL, YET DISSATISFIED CAMARO OWNER!
RADIO, A/C, TURN SIGNALS TURN ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN CAR IS TURNED ON.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE RADIO WAS TURNED ON BUT FAILED TO PLAY MUSIC, THE HEAT WAS TURNED ON BUT BLEW OUT COLD AIR, THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS TURNED ON BUT BLEW OUT HOT AIR. ADDITIONALLY, THE LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNALS WERE NOT MAKING THE CLICKING NOISE WHILE IN THE ON POSITION. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND OPENED CASE 8-4029973651 AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,500.
6 MONTHS AGO MY INFOTAINMENT SCREEN STARTED FLASHING AND THE CD WOULD OCCASIONALLY POP OUT OF THE PLAYER ON ITS OWN. THE MUSIC WOULD TURN ITSELF OFF THEN COME BACK ON, STARTLING ME AS IT WOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD STATIC OR POPPING SOUND. IT STARTED OFF INTERMITTENTLY, THEN THE SCREEN WENT COMPLETELY BLACK AND THE MUSIC STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY EXCEPT FOR THE CONSTANT BUZZING/STATIC SOUND ACCOMPANIED BY CLICKING AS THOUGH SOMETHING IS TRYING TO TURN ON. THE SCREEN AND THE MUSIC OCCASIONALLY MAKE A SURPRISING APPEARANCE, USUALLY AFTER I'VE COME TO A STOP, ROLLED MY WINDOW DOWN OR USED THE TURN SIGNAL. WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE NEXT THING, THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. TO THIS DAY IT COMES ON AND OFF AT ITS LEISURE, INCLUDING THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOW DEFROST. MY BLINKERS NO LONGER MAKE THE SOUND TO ALERT ME THAT THEY ARE ON. ON A FEW OCCASIONS MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW HAS FAILED TO OPERATE. I ASSUME ONE DAY THAT WILL BE ALSO BE INOPERATIVE BASED ON PREVIOUS TRENDS. I CANCELLED MY SUBSCRIPTION TO ONSTAR SINCE I HAVE NO ACCESS TO THE FEATURES ANY LONGER. THIS MEANS I NO LONGER HAVE NAVIGATION, ACCESS TO EMERGENCY SERVICES, HANDS FREE CALLING OR EVEN ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. I NO LONGER HAVE THE ABILITY TO REMOTE ACCESS MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS ONE OF THE MAIN SELLING POINTS. NOW PLEASE IMAGINE TAKING AN UNCOMFORTABLY SILENT RIDE WITH ME AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN A CD THAT WASN'T PLAYING POPS OUT AND THE AIR CONDITIONER KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF, ALL WHILE THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE ITS ABOUT TO EXPLODE. I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND COUNTLESS SITES WITH NUMEROUS OWNERS STATING THAT THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. ADD ANOTHER 5000 OR SO CHARACTERS TO THIS COMPLAINT BOX AND I WILL GLADLY COPY AND PASTE THOSE OWNERS' STORIES FOR YOU TO CONSIDER AS WELL. CHEVROLET/GM SAY THAT THIS IS MY ISSUE ALONE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL YEARS BEFORE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE
WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE, POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING. VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND PULLED INTO ANOTHER LANE. LUCKILY, NO CARS WERE NEAR. WE MANAGED TO GET HOME AND TOOK TO LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER. THEY RESET IT AND POWER STEERING WORKED FOR A WHILE. DROVE THE CAR FOR APPOXIMATELY 60 MILES AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON A 2 LANE ROAD IN MIDDLE OF TURN. ALMOST WRECKED. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 8700 MILES ON IT, BUT BECAUSE OF YEARS, WARRANTY IS OUT. 8700 MILES!!! WHEN I CONTACTED GM OVER ABOUT A MONTH SEVERAL TIMES, THEY FINALLY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. I ALSO HAVE A 2014 SILVERADO THAT HAD A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. MY DAUGHTER HAS A 2017 COLORADO THAT THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON TODAY. IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I CHECKED OUT PROBLEMS ONLINE, I FOUND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.
I OWN A 2013 CHEVROLET ZL1 CAMARO WITH 76500 MILES. IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED, CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. CHEVROLET SAID THIS WAS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM AND THE REPAIR WOULD BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. CHEVROLET WANTED $2,791.00 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM.
SHARK FIN ANTENNA HAS VERY POOR RECEPTION, CAUSES ONSTAR TO LOSE CONNECTION OFTEN IN PLACES IT SHOULDN'T AS WELL AS NAVIGATION THROUGH RADIO TO NOT WORK WHEN IT SHOULD AND RADIO,XM,ETC. DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMMON THING IN THE CAMARO SHARK FIN. HAPPENS VERY OFTEN FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED THE CAR TO PRESENT
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LOST POWER, AND THE RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CAPITOL CHEVROLET OF COLUMBIA (111 NEWLAND RD, COLUMBIA, SC 29229 (855) 935-0359) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH INTERNAL FAILURE AND THE CABLE WIRES NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE; HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.
DURING EVENT(S), VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND STOPPED. WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT, THE AIR BAG DOES NOT TURN ON. AT LEAST THE LIGHT FOR THE AIR BAG STAYS IN THE OFF POSITION. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR A VERY LONG TIME, I JUST NOW NOTICED IT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SECURE THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT, THE BUCKLE MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD NOT PROPERLY LOCK. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.
TPMS SYSTEM. MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. MOVING. SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM IS DISPLAYED WHEN TIRE PRESSURE FALLS BELOW 32 PSI OR GETS INTO A CERTAIN RANGE AS SOMETIMES WILL REAPPEAR BELOW 30 PSI AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT. THE TIRE PRESSURE DISPLAY WILL ONLY SHOW DASHES AND NOT A PRESSURE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION THAT IT IS NORMAL OPERATION BY DEALERS. IT SHOULD NOT BE THAT WAY, AS YOU DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A LEAK OR IF THE SYSTEM TRULY NEEDS SERVICED.
WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE APPEARED. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN. IT ONLY HAPPENS AT LOW SPEED MANEUVERING (<12MPH). THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS ONCE THE PROBLEM IS CREATED: POWER FLICKERS ON THE CAR; THE AC RESETS, RADIO RESETS, POWER STEERING GOES OUT, AND THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES DISPLAY: "SERVICE POWER STEERING" "SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL" AND "OPEN AND CLOSE PASSENGER WINDOW". I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME THE ELECTRIC STEERING ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND IT IS FAIRLY COMMON BETWEEN 2012-15 CAMAROS'. LUCKILY, I HAVE THE ABILITY TO REMAIN CALM AND CONTROL THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I AM NOT SO SURE OTHERS WILL HAVE THE SAME FATE AS I DID. HERE IS A FORUM POST WITH MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS CONSOLIDATED: [XXX] PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
WHILE IN MOTION, I NOTICED THE CAR STARTED PULLING IN ONE DIRECTION AND THEN THE A COMPLETE LOSS OF THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED "SERVICE POWER STEERING" THIS IS COMPLETLY UNSAFE TO HAVE THE CAR PULL IN ONE DIRECTION AND NOT TO MENTION THERE IS ONLY 19,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE BUT GM STILL REFUESES TO TAKE ACTION. ONLY IN THE EVENT OF A DEATH WILL THE ACT.
THERE IS A DELAY TO THE RADIO WHEN I START MY CAR. THE RADIO IS CONSTANTLY TURNING OFF AND ON. THE LIGHTS ON THE RADIO KEEP FLICKERING. DUE TO WHATEVER ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE HAPPENING WITHIN THE RADIO THE TIME IS NOT STAYING CURRENT. THIS IS HAPPENING WHEN I AM STARTING AND TURNING MY VEHICLE OFF. MY CONCERN IS WHETHER OR NOT THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE CONTAINED WITHIN THE RADIO OR IF THEY ARE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE, AND I FEAR THAT MY CAR WILL LOSE POWER WHILE I AM DRIVING.
RADIO NOT WORKING SCREEN BLACK. UNABLE TO HEAR TURN SIGNALS WHEN ON. AIR CONDITIONER COMING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY AS THOUGHT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT.
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING STALLING AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON MY 2013 CHEVY CAMARO I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES NOW AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN DURING EXTREME HEAT TEMPERATURES DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS PARTICULARLY. I HAVE NOTICED THAT NISSAN IS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR NISSAN VERSA'S AND NISSAN SENTRAS AS IT WAS AIRED ON CHANNEL 13 ACTION NEWS. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO GM TWICE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH NO HELP ALTHOUGH THEY ARE AWARE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES. I NEED TO START A CLASS ACTION SUIT. CAN YOU HELP ME?
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND HEARD A RATTLING NOISE. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKE CYLINDER BOLT BECAME LOOSE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE DEALER (SUBURBAN CHEVROLET 12475 PLAZA EDEN PRAIRIE, MINNESOTA 12475 877-350-6609). THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE THE CONTACT FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V069000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EPS WARNING INDICATOR KEPT ILLUMINATING AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE FIRST DEALER (MYRTLE BEACH CHEVROLET 1785 US-501, MYRTLE BEACH, SC 29577 (843) 407-0656) WHERE THE RACK AND PINION WERE REPLACED TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. A SECOND DEALER (BIG COUNTRY CHEVROLET 109 S MAIN ST, HEMINGWAY, SC 29554 (843) 558-2571) REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION, REPLACED THE BATTERY, AND CHECKED THE WIRING. NEITHER OF THE TWO DEALERS WERE ABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE TWO DEALERS MORE THAN EIGHT TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED NO SOLUTION OTHER THAN REPLACING THE SAME OEM PARTS, WHICH FAILED MORE THAN TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,665.
THERE IS A DELAY TO THE RADIO WHEN I START MY CAR. THE RADIO IS CONSTANTLY TURNING OFF AND ON. THE LIGHTS ON THE RADIO KEEP FLICKERING. DUE TO WHATEVER ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE HAPPENING WITHIN THE RADIO THE TIME IS NOT STAYING CURRENT. THIS IS HAPPENING WHEN I AM STARTING AND TURNING MY VEHICLE OFF. MY CONCERN IS WHETHER OR NOT THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE CONTAINED WITHIN THE RADIO OR IF THEY ARE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE, AND I FEAR THAT MY CAR WILL LOSE POWER WHILE I AM DRIVING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANED AND CRASHED INTO A WALL. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE MINOR INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE GM ENGINEERS DIAGNOSED THAT, DUE TO THE SLOW CRASH, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.
STARTED A FEW WEEKS AGO THE HEAT WOULDN'T HEAT AND THE HEAT AND RADIO WOULD TURN OFF AND ON THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME YOU GET IN THE CAR. WINTER IS HERE AND WITHOUT A HEATER THAT IS NOT SAFE!! THIS HAPPENS IF THE CAR IS IN MOTION, STATIONARY CITY STREETS AND ON HIGHWAY PLEASE HELP!!!!
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH EITHER TURN SIGNAL ACTIVATED, THE SPEAKERS ACTIVATED LOUDLY WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE RADIO MALFUNCTIONED AND THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT ACTIVATED ON ITS OWN AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,000.
WHILE DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL ROADWAY MAKING A LEFT TURN THE TILT STEERING WHEEL LOCKING LEVER FELL OUT OF POSITION AND HIT MY LEG WHILE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT GEARS. THE SURPRISE OF AN UNEXPECTED OBJECT STRIKING MY LEG RESULTED IN MISSING THE SHIFT AND GRAZING A CURB WHICH RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE AND WHEEL. UPON STOPPING, THE LEVER WAS UNABLE TO BE PUSHED BACK INTO PLACE AND WAS EASILY REMOVED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN WITHOUT THE USAGE OF TOOLS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN, SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGREED THAT THIS WAS NOT A WEAR & TEAR ISSUE ON THE MECHANISM, BUT THAT THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION ON A PROBLEM WITH THIS ITEM. CAMARO AND OTHER CHEVY FORUMS SHOW THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.
BOUGHT A 2013 CAMARO, MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON MY CAR MY KEYS WERE BUMPED BY MY KNEE AND THE CAR JUST STALLED. THANKFULLY ONLY I WAS INVOLVED AND NO ONE COMING FROM THE OPPOSING WAS HURT AS I ENDED UP IN A TRAIN TRACK MEDIAN WITH SOME DAMAGE ONLY TO MY CAR. I DRIVE WITH THE FEAR THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND THE SIMPLE FACT THAT THEY REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE FLIPKEY/CONTROL DOES NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE EXPERIMENTED WITH DIFFERENT CARS BY PURPOSEDLY BUMP MY KEYS AND NONE STALLED WITH AS LITTLE FORCE AS THE ONE ASSERTED ONTO THE CAMARO. THIS IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN AND ENGINEERING FLAW THAT NEEDS A BETTER SOLUTION THAN THEIR FIX.
I HAVE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO THE GM REPAIR FACILITIES ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FOR AN ISSUE THAT I FIND UNSAFE AND UNSETTLING. AS THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELLING ABOVE 50 MILES PER HOUR OR GREATER IT WILL MAKE AN UNCOMMANDED RIGHT OR LEFT TURN SOMETIMES ACCOMPANIED WITH A FLASHING TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE LATEST EXCUSE I RECEIVED FROM A DEALER IN FLORIDA WAS THAT "GENERAL MOTORS" STATES THIS IS ACCEPTABLE AND IS TROUGHING. THE EXPLANATION WOULD BE REASONABLE IF THE TENDENCY TO TURN WAS MINOR. THIS TENDENCY TO TURN IS HARD AND 90 DEGREES. I HAVE PAID TO HAVE EVALUATIONS COMPLETED ON THE ALIGNMENT AND THE TIRES HAVE WORN UNEVENLY / ON THE OUTER EDGES, BUT THE REPORTS INDICATE THE ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN GOOD. THE ROAD WAYS ARE TYPICALLY STRAIGHT AND LEVEL AND MOISTURE HAS NOT BEEN A FACTOR. MY WIFE AND I ARE BOTH DRIVERS OF THE VEHICLE AND HAVE BOTH EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE AND THE TECHNICIANS AT THE DEALERS HAVE REPORTEDLY EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE AS WELL BUT DID NOT LOCATE A CAUSE OF FAILURE. ONCE THE DEALER CONTACTED GM THE ISSUE WAS CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE BY SOMEONE ON THEIR END.
THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE 41,000 MILES. (FEB 2015) AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES IN A DAY, YOU CAN FEEL A CHANGE IN THE VEHICLE DRIVE AND THE RPMS REDUCE TO UNDER "2" AND THEN DOWN TO "1", THE CAR THEN DISPLAYS THE "!" "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" WARNING. 3 EMERGENCY LIGHTS COME ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN SAFE, I PULL OVER AND TURN THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON, TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. FOR A FEW SECONDS THE "STABILTRAK" WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. THE CAR THEN DRIVES SLUGGISH AND WILL NOT GO OVER A 40 TO 60 MILES SPEED. THIS CONTINUES TO GO ON EVERY 3 TO 5 MILES. WE HAVE BEEN TAKING THE CAR TO DEALER AND THEY HAVE REPLACED A CONNECTOR, WIRING HARNESS AND A ECM MODULE. AFTER A FEW MILES OF DRIVING THE SAME SITUATION OCCURS. THIS LAST TIME WHEN I SAFELY PULLED OVER TO A SIDE STREET AND TURNED ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS A CAR ALMOST REAR-ENDED MY VEHICLE. THE REDUCED SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IS CAUSING A FRIGHTENING DRIVING EXPERIENCE BECAUSE OTHER DRIVERS DO NOT REALIZE THAT MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING ENGINE REDUCED SPEEDS THAT I HAVE NO CONTROL OF AND I CANNOT EXIT THE FREEWAY UNTIL AN EXIT RAMP IS AVAILABLE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY DUE TO THE RE-ENTERING ONTO THE FREEWAY WITH DISRESPECTFUL DRIVERS WHO CAUSE LIFE THREATENING ISSUES. RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ON LINE IT SEEMS THERE ARE TOO MANY WITH THE SAME ISSUES. I DID READ THAT THE ONSTAR SYSTEM MAY BE CAUSING THE CONFLICT??? THIS ISSUE HAS BECOME VERY TIME CONSUMING AND EXPENSIVE WITH THE MISSING OF WORK. HOW DO WE GET THIS CORRECTED. IT STARTED AT 41,000 MILES AND WE NOW HAVE 91,000 MILES. WE DO HAVE A PREMIUM EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 125,000 MILES. THE WARRANTY COMPANY SAID THAT GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD / MUST CORRECT THIS ISSUE AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE.
NORMAL STREET DRIVING, METAL ON METAL NOISE FROM FRONT WHEELS. APPLY BRAKE, NOISE STOPS. RELEASE BRAKES, NOISE BEGINS AGAIN. DEALERSHIP STATES BRAKE PADS HAVE ABOUT 8-10MM LEFT ON THEM.

2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE CLUTCH PEDAL BULLETIN ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO CORRECT A CLUTCH PROBLEM THAT HAD NOT EXISTED THE PREVIOUS THREE YEARS. THE PROBLEM INVOLVED THE CLUTCH PEDAL NOT RECOVERING DURING GEAR SHIFTS. INSTEAD, THE PEDAL REMAINED VIRTUALLY STATIONARY HALFWAY THROUGH WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A TOTAL RECOVERY. THIS PROHIBITED THE CONSUMER FROM SHIFTING GEARS. *JB
ALL FOUR WHEEL VALVE STEMS STARTED LEAKING AT THE BASE. ONE REPLACEMENT HAS LEAKED SINCE. A TOTAL OF FIVE 2013 CAMARO STEEL WHEEL RUBBER VALVE STEMS.
I WENT OUT TO MY GARAGE & STARTED MY CAMARO SS TO GO TO WORK. THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYED A MESSAGE ADVISING THE POWER STEERING REQUIRED SERVICE. THE CAR WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN AND I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT 30+ MILES TO THE DEALER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED (NO COST TO ME) TO ROGERS-DABBS CHEVROLET, BRANDON MS, FOR SERVICE. I WAS TOLD SINCE THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO HAVE THIS ISSUE THEY COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM SO THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM 15 MONTHS LATER AND THE DEALER STILL HAS NOT IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM, NOR WILL THEY TRY. I WAS TOLD THEY "ARE NOT MAGICIANS" SO THEY CAN'T FIX WHAT'S NOT SHOWING UP AS AN ISSUE WHEN THE CAR IS WITH THEM.

PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE AT LOW SPEED. CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I WAS ABLE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND PREVENT A COLLISION.

ON FEB,03.2015 MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AND WAS REAR ENDED AS A RESULT. SINCE THE END OF LAST YEAR I HAVE TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP (JIM ELLIS CHEV) COMPLAINING ABOUT SMELLING THE CLUTCH BURNING. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD ONLY REPLY SAYING THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS JUST BREAKING IN. NOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS WENT OUT THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THAT I RODE THE CLUTCH AND WANTS ME TO PAY $1700.00. THE CAMARO ONLY HAS 23,000 MILES AND SHOULD NOT HAVE WENT OUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V346000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO INFORM WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
RIGHT AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, MY HUSBAND DROVE IT, AND I SAT IN PASSENGER SEAT AND NOTICED THAT MY AIRBAG HAD NOT TURNED ON. THE INDICATOR SAID OFF SO I LIFTED MY REAR FROM THE SEAT AND SAT DOWN HARD THEN THE LIGHT SAID IT WAS ON. AS WE DROVE DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 15 MILES AT 55MPH, THE LIGHT WENT BACK TO SAYING AIRBAG OFF. I WOULD LIFT MY REAR AGAIN AND FORCEFULLY SIT IN SEAT AND IT WOULD TURN OR ON AGAIN. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS, HAD THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSORS CHANGED, THE THE AIR-BAG MODULATOR CHANGED, AND THE SENSORS ADJUSTED. WHEN THE AUTO TECH SAW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH ME IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, HE HOOKED UP THE COMPUTER TO THE CAR AND IT SAID I WAS NOT HEAVY OR TALL ENOUGH FOR THE AIRBAG. I AM 5'8" AND 165#, SO IT WAS NOT READING ME AT ALL. SINCE THEN EVERY TIME I AM A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE, I NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE INDICATOR LIGHT AND WHEN IT IS OFF, I NEED TO PULL MY REAR OFF THE SEAT AND SIT DOWN FORCEFULLY UNTIL THE ON LIGHT ACTIVATES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO GO FROM HERE AND WERE AT A LOSS. SO I AM HOPING NHTSA CAN HELP ME. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY CAMARO OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM. I ENJOY DRIVING MY CAR BUT THE PASSENGER AIR-BAG ISSUE IS A HUGE PROBLEM. *TR
THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ABOUT THE HILL ASSIST FEATURE ON THIS MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE. THE FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO AUTOMATICALLY HOLD THE BRAKES ON AN INCLINE AND IS SUPPOSED TO RELEASE ON APPLICATION OF THE THROTTLE. IT DOES NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD! IT ENGAGES RANDOMLY EVEN WHEN NOT ON AN INCLINE AND DOES NOT RELEASE QUICKLY ENOUGH TO PREVENT ENGINE STALLING OR EXCESSIVE WEAR TO THE CLUTCH BY OVER REVVING THE ENGINE TO PREVENT IT FROM STALLING! THIS CAUSE A BURNING SMELL AND EXCESSIVE WEAR TO THE CLUTCH! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN THAT I HAVE TO PULL OUT ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY FROM AN INCLINE EVERY DAY WHERE I LIVE AND HAVE TO TRY TO OVER COMPENSATE FOR THE DELAY IN GETTING THIS HILL ASSIST TO RELEASE SO I CAN PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC MOVING AT 55 MPH! I HAVE HAD IT TO THE SELLING DEALER (CARL BLACK CHEVROLET) MULTIPLE TIMES AND SPOKEN WITH CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE! THEY ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE! IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT EXTENSIVELY IN THE CAMARO :FORUMS ONLINE! THE REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE! THEY TELL ME TO BUY AFTERMARKET PARTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM WHEN THERE ARE GENERAL MOTORS PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX IT! I FINALLY GAVE IN AND ORDERED THE GM PART TO HAVE INSTALLED AND FIX MYSELF! I AM AN ASE MASTER AND L-1 CERTIFIED AUTO REPAIR TECHNICIAN WITH EXTENSIVE GM TRAINING! THEY NEED TO FIX THIS BEFORE ME OR SOMEONE ELSE IS KILLED!

I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AT 1575 86TH STREET IN BROOKLYN, NY IN REGARDS TO THE LETTER I RECEIVED FOR THE RECALL OF CHEVROLET CAMARO VEHICLES, 2013 MODEL YEARS. THE RECALL IS FOR THE IGNITION KEY THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITY. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM NUMEROUS TIMES AND WE ARE YET TO EVEN HEAR BACK FROM THEM. THIS IS A HUGE LIABILITY TO ANYONE DRIVING THIS CAR. THE GM SAFETY RECALL NUMBER IS 14294. WHEN I CALLED IN OCTOBER THEY SAID ONLY 2 WEEKS TO ORDER THE REPLACEMENT AND SCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT. I CALLED AGAIN IN NOVEMBER AND THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PART AND PLACED ANOTHER ORDER. NOW IT IS MORE THAN A MONTH LATER AND I STILL DO NOT HEAD BACK FROM THEM. I CALLED TODAY AND THEY ARE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND AND SUGGESTED THEY WILL CALL ME BACK. I PURCHASED MY CAR AT THIS DEALERSHIP AND I FEEL THIS WAS A HUGE MISTAKE. PLEASE ASSIST IN THIS MATTER.

I PURCHASE A NEW 2013 CAMARO FOR SON EARLIER THIS YEAR. THIS CAR HAS FEWER THAN 15K MILES AND EARLIER THIS MONTH MY SON WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AND ON THE STEERING WHEEL RETURNING BACK TO CENTER, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED THEN HE HEARD A SNAP WHICH RESULTED IN HIM HITTING THE CURB. THE SNAPPING SOUND WAS PROBABLY THE SOUND OF THE RIGHT CONTROL ARM SNAPPING IN HALF AND THE BENDING OF THE TIE ROD. I FILED A CLAIM WITH GM AND THEY DECLINED ALL CLAIMS EVEN WITH THE MANY RECALLS ON GM CARS INCLUDING THE CAMARO HAVING STEERING WHEEL LOCKING ISSUES. I COULD HAVE LOST MY SON AND I'M SIMPLY ASKING THAT GM COVER THE REPAIRS. THIS HAS BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTING AND STRESSFULLY ON MY FAMILY. *JS

I WAS DRIVING ON WEST VIRGINIA HIGHWAY 75 SOUTH BOUND ON A SUNDAY MORNING, I WAS RETURNING FROM THE NAVAL STATION GREAT LAKES, (MY SON GRADUATED FROM RECRUIT TRAINING) THEN UNEXPECTED HAPPENS, THE RIGHT TIRE AND THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY SYSTEM BROKE OFF THE CAR, I SAW THE ENTIRE SYSTEM, ABANDON MY CAR AND CARRY ON MOVING FORWARD. WITHOUT ANY EXAGGERATION, I SAW MY LIFE FLASH IN FRONT OF MY EYES, I THOUGHT I WAS A GONER. SEEING YOUR TIRE MOVING FORWARD, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY TRYING TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE FROM COLLIDING WITH THE CEMENTED MEDIAN, WAS THE WORSE EXPERIENCE YET, WHAT A NIGHTMARE. THIS WHOLE INCIDENT FELT LIKE I WAS HIT BY AND IED IN IRAQ, WHAT A SCARE. MY QUESTION TO ANYONE IS, HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP EXPLAIN WHAT THE HECK HAPPENING HERE, I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING, AND HOWEVER I WAS DRIVING A LITTLE OVER 70 MILES PER HOUR. *TR
I HAVE A MANUAL V8 MODEL. WHENEVER STOPPED ON AN INCLINE, THE HILL START ASSIST (HSA) ENGAGES. THE FIRST TIME I GAVE IT PLENTY OF THROTTLE AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT DISENGAGE AND CAUSED ME TO STALL. THE 2ND TIME, I HAD THE RPM VERY HIGH AND AGAIN THE BRAKES WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. MY CAR WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN UNDER THE STRAIN. WHEN IT FINALLY RELEASED THE CAR, I WAS GREETED WITH THE SMELL OF BURNING CLUTCH. THIS CANNOT BE NORMAL. I DON'T THINK HITTING 2000 RPM AND DROPPING THE CLUTCH SHOULD BE A NORMAL METHOD TO OVERCOME TEH HSA SYSTEM. I HAVE AUTO HILL BRAKING ON OTHER VEHICLES THAT ARE NEARLY INVISIBLE TO ME AND WORK FLAWLESSLY. I BEEN DRIVING MANUAL CARS FOR 20+ YEARS AND HAVE NO ISSUES ON HILL STARTS. ONE OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES IS THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN OFF THE HSA FEATURE. I THINK YOU NEED TO FORCE GM TO RECALIBRATE THE SYSTEM AND/OR ALLOW THE DRIVER TO TURN THE HSA FEATURE OFF. *TR

THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A "HILL ASSIST" FEATURE FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION CARS. IT DOES NOT RELEASE PROPERLY OR ACTIVATES IMPROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HOLDS EXCESSIVELY LONG ON INCLINES, WILL NOT RELEASE WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC OR EVEN ACTIVATES ON LEVEL GROUND WITH NO INCLINE! I HAVE COMPLAINED MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE GENERAL MOTORS SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHEN I TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE AND IT HAS BEEN CHECKED REPEATEDLY. IT IS ALWAYS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED!" I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE SERVICE PERSONNEL INCLUDING THE SHOP SUPERVISOR AND THEY ALL KNOW IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES! IT SEEMS TO BE A JOKE THAT THE SYSTEM OPERATES SO POORLY EXCEPT THAT I BELIEVE IT IS INEVITABLE THAT IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. EITHER TO MYSELF OR TO SOMEONE ELSE. THE MESSAGE BOARDS ARE FULL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FEATURE AND IT IS UNIVERSALLY DESPISED BY EVERYONE ON EVERY VEHICLE IT IS INSTALLED ON! I HAVE ASKED FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED OR REMOVED BY THE DEALER YET THEY TELL ME THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO SO. THE MESSAGE BOARDS HAVE FOUND A WORK AROUND SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING A YAW SENSOR WITHOUT THE LATERAL ACCELEROMETER THAT THE VEHICLE USES! I AM WILLING FOR THE DEALER TO DO THIS AT THEIR EXPENSE NOT MINE, BUT THEY REFUSE. IT IS A GM PART INSTALLED ON A GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE AND DOES NOT DISABLE THE STABILITY SYSTEM. ONLY THE HILL ASSIST PORTION. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE CLUTCH AND BRAKES AS I HAVE LEARNED TO OVER REV THE ENGINE TO DRAG IT OUT OF THIS LOCK POSITION TO SMOOTHLY MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. I AM COMPLETELY AWARE OF THE TECHNOLOGY AS I AM AN ASE MASTER AND L-1 CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN WITH OVER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING INCLUDING GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIPS! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED IN EXTREMELY HUMID WEATHER, THE ENTIRE FRONT EXTERIOR WINDSHIELD BECAME FOGGY DUE TO THE COLD AIR BLOWING FROM THE TOP DASHBOARD AIR VENT.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700. .... UPDATED 10-17-13 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE ISSUE APPEARED TO BE A DEFECT IN THE DESIGNED AIR CONTROL SYSTEM. UNDER THE CURRENT OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM, WHEN IN THE AIR CONDITIONING MODE WITH BI-LEVEL, OR FOOT LEVEL SELECTED, WHETHER USING RE-CIRCULATING AIR OR FRESH AIR, THE SYSTEM DELIVERED COLD AIR TO THE WINDSHIELD THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD VENTS. THE AIR CONDITIONED AIR COMING OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD VENTS CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO GET COLD. IN HIGH HUMIDITY , THIS CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

PASSENGER SEAT BELT CLIP IS DEFECTIVE. BELT CLIP KEEPS COMING UNDONE CONSTANTLY THEREFORE WILL NOT RETAIN SEAT BELT PROPERLY. ONCE THE SEATBELT COMES OUT OF THE CLIP IT CROSSES OVER THE PASSENGERS' NECK CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT CAUSES UNDUE DISCOMFORT. GM HAS REPLACED THE SEAT SKIN ONCE, AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO EXIST AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ELSE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR
THE AISIN AY6 TRANSMISSION IN MY BRAND NEW 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO LS IS DEFECTIVE TO THE POINT OF BEING A SAFETY ISSUE AND GM WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS AN ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING. THE TRANSMISSION, FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR, HAS NEVER SHIFTED SMOOTHLY WITHOUT GRINDING OR CAUSING MISSED SHIFTS. THIS CAN BE, AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT IT IS A POORLY DESIGNED TRANSMISSION THAT GM IS PUTTING IN THESE CARS AND ENOUGH ISSUES HAVE BEEN RAISED THAT THEY SHOULD BE FIXING THE PROBLEMS OR REPLACING THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE CARS. I WANT THIS ISSUE RESOLVED AND ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR
2013 CAMARO LS FUEL INJECTORS POSE A CHANCE AT BEING DEFECTIVE, AFTER BUYING THE CAR AND NOTICING TWO OF THE INJECTORS HAVING ALREADY BEEN REPLACED, I AM NOW LESS THEN A MONTH OF OWNING THE CAR. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY HAVING ITS FOURTH FUEL INJECTOR REPLACED, THIS MAY CAUSE HARM TO THE VEHICLE IF IT DOES NOT DO WHAT IT IS DESIGNED TO DO. THE CAR IS SUPPOSE TO PUT ITS SELF IN "LIMP" MODE REDUCING POWER AND THE CHANCE OF HARMING THE ENGINE, IT WILL ALSO DISPLAY A SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE. SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ARE REQUIRED TO ONLY REPLACE THE BAD INJECTORS HOWEVER IF YOU CONTACT CORPORATE GM THEY WILL WORK WITH YOU TO REPLACE THE REMAINING INJECTORS IF THE PROBLEM CONSISTS AS DID MINE. THERE ARE NO PREEMPTIVE SIGNS OF THE INJECTORS GOING BAD. OVERALL SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE PROVIDED. *TR
I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT WHEN I GOT TO ROUGHLY 2000 RPMS ( ROUGHLY 17 MPH) PUSHED THE CLUTCH FULLY IN AND ATTEMPTED TO GO INTO 2ND GEAR. HOWEVER, THE SHIFTER PHYSICALLY WOULD NOT ALLOW THIS SHIFTER TO GO INTO 2ND GEAR WITH UP TO, I WOULD SAY 20LBS OF FORCE. AS A RESULT OF TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO GO INTO 2ND GEAR THE DRIVER BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF HIS LANE TO AVOID FROM RE-ENDING ME. I QUICKLY HAD TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFTER TO 3RD GEAR TO GET MY SPEED BACK. THIS HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF OVER 3 TIMES NOW! THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THESE KINDS OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I HAVE AN APT. WITH THE DEALER 11/28/12. *TR
