2010 Chevrolet Camaro Brakes Problems

I was in an accident with a friend in [XXX] We weren't doing over 30 to 35 miles per hour when we hit a deer. All I could remember was yelling because my wrist was broken and I had bone coming out from the air bags that deployed on my side of the car. The wind shield was cracked because of this as well. My friend had to jump out of the car to disconnect the battery because the car would not shut off or stop moving. The brake and parking brake was used but couldn't get it to stop. My friend had to crawl out the side window by them to let me out of the car because neither door opened to let us out. My friend was hurt as well but not as bad as my wrist. The er doctor told me since my wrist never healed or would ever heal correctly. That iwould have to go see a hand specialist to do surgery and put pins in but wasn't a guarantee fix. Till this day I have trouble working if it requires me to pick up heavy things with that hand because I just feel the pain and how it feels like it wants to come apart. This happened in bandera Texas on [XXX]. I did make a police report and even claimed it on my insurance. I was told the car was totaled due to cost of the air bags being deployed. I have not reported to anyone because people don't think it is a safety issue. So I'm still have debit from this incident that I don't want anyone to have to go through what I have since that day. I was seen at beorne Methodist er in beorne texas. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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

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

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

TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON INTERSTATE 80 FROM RENO TO SAN FRANCISCO 55-65 MPH, WITHOUT WARNING MY 2010 CAMARO HAD 100 % LOSS OF ALL POWER AND OPERATING FUNCTIONS; OUT OF CONTROL DOWN THE MOUNTAIN DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY JAMMING INTO THE GUARDRAIL, TRAPPING MYSELF IN CAR. NOTHING WORKED...NO ONSTAR...I CALLED MY DAUGHTER IN RENO AND TOLD HER TO SEND HELP..I WAS IN SHOCK. I HAD NO CLUE WHAT HAPPENED OR WHY..BUT AFTER THE TRAFFIC SLOWED DOWN I EXITED THE VEHICLE, STILL NO HELP OR RESPONSE. CAR STARTED WITH LIMITED ABILITIES 25 MPH; WAS ADVISED THAT IT WAS OKAY TO DRIVE BACK TO RENO AND "BRING IT ON IN" AT MY CONVENIENCE. NOTHING WAS DONE. THE CAR READY BEFORE THE SHUTTLE GOT BACK TO THE SHOP. THE SERVICE MEN SHRUGGED IT OFF AND TOLD ME TO WATCH FOR THE WARNING SIGNS; I CAN'T HAVE ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THESE CARS ACROSS THE BOARD??!I HAD NO WARNING SIGNS..I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT KILLED AND DID NOT KILL ANYBODY WITH MY IMAGINARY CAR PROBLEMS. 2ND INCIDENT ALL SYSTEMS WENT CRAZY, EXTREME HEAT COMING FROM DASH, NO HEAT TURNED ON, FALSE READINGS, ALL WARNING LIGHTS AND GAUGES WENT OFF, POWER LOCKS DON'T WORK, NO MORE AUTO START I REQUESTED SERVICE WITH NO RESPONSE FOR 5 DAYS. I LEFT A VERY EXPRESSIVE MESSAGE FOR FLEET MANAGER AND SERVICE DEPT FINALLY RESPONDED. BAD SERVICE..RUDE. I PAID OVER 300 FOR CAR RENTAL GM PICKED UP 1 DAY THEY CONCLUDED AGAIN NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR. MALFUNCTION WAS CAUSED BY SNOW AND COLD WEATHER (NOT ACCEPTABLE)BECAUSE IT WASN'T DRIVEN IN SNOW. 3RD TIME DRIVING WITH KIDS ON FREEWAY IN RENO...GUESS WHAT NO POWER!! WAS ADVISED ONCE AGAIN THAT I COULD DRIVE IT ON IN THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY. WELL I LEARNED THE GM SECRET. LET HER SIT AND SHE'LL RESET. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF A DEATH CAUSED BY A $50000 TIME BOMB. DREAM CAR NOT WORTH A LIFE OR THE FEAR OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN EVERYTIME YOU START IT. *TR
