2010 Chevrolet Camaro Other / unspecified Problems

Vehicle Shipped in Unsafe Driving Condition I purchased this vehicle from Cars2us with a clear understanding that the vehicle was in good working order. I paid $500 for shipping along with $3,000 cash down. I purchased it from out of state so I had to have the vehicle shipped to my work site. When I received the vehicle off the trailer, it was borderline underivable due to the rack and pinion and power steering system being faulty. I immediately contacted the dealer and he agreed to have it repaired and advised me to “take it to a mechanic you trust”! I did so and the mechanic called me to inform me that the manager of the dealership tried to convince him to put junkyard parts on the vehicle to fix it. The mechanic was infuriated and insulted by this and advised me to contact an attorney. I paid the full amount for the repairs totaling over $2,000 because he did a job he was asked to do and rightly deserved to be paid for doing so. The mechanic and I tried multiple times to contact him for repayment and he has not paid nor responded. I have all of our conversations and will happily attach them to this email. I’m furious because the vehicle was knowingly shipped to me in an extremely dangerous condition and I was forced to drive it to my house 13 miles away as well as the mechanic shop another 6 miles. I emailed the Attorney General of Virginia and reported the incident. It’s my goal to protect other customers from experiencing this kind of behavior and treatment. If you could please help me out in any way it would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards.

TPMS SYSTEM AND REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY FAILS TO OPERATE CORRECTLY AFTER INSTALLING NEW TIRES. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM EVEN WITH A CHANGE TO THE KEYLESS ENTRY MODULE. GM REPORTS THAT SOME TIRES HAVE TOO MUCH STEEL IN THE BELTS CAUSING THE SIGNALS TO BE BLOCKED OR BE INTERMITTENT WHICH CAN CAUSE DRIVERS TO DRIVE ON UNDER INFLATED TIRES. FAILURE OCCURS IN ANY TYPE OF DRIVING. GM NEEDS TO REPLACE THE SENSORS WITH ONES THAT PROVIDE A STRONGER SIGNAL TO COMPLY WITH THE TREAD ACT.

I HAVE THREE ISSUES FOR MY CAMARO 2010. FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT IS THE THE TIMING CHAIN, THE CHAIN MOVED AND ACTIVATED THE CAM SENSORS. THE COST TO CHANGE IT IS PRINCELY. SECOND , THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER IS ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND PAID AND STILL THEY COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE SO THEY WANTED MORE MONEY. THIRD, THREE OF THE TIRE SENSORS WHEN ON AND DEALER WANTS MORE MONEY. THE CAR RUNS WITH POOR PERFORMANCE SO I STOP USING IT.

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

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

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

THE 2010 CAMARO SS AUTOMATIC IS EQUIPPED WITH THE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WHICH DEACTIVATES THE VALVES ON FOUR CYLINDERS AT LOW SPEEDS. UPON ACCELERATING THE FOUR CYLINDERS ARE RE-ACTIVATED AND A SURGE OF APPROXIMATELY 200 HUNDRED HORSEPOWER IS SENT TO THE REAL WHEELS WHICH CAUSES A TRACTION LOSS AND LOSS OF CONTROL ON ICY OR SNOW COVERED ROADWAYS. THIS IS A HAZARD WHICH CAN CREATE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO THE REAR WHEELS LOSING TRACTION AND SLIPPING. THE DEALER HAS CHECKED MY VEHICLE AND STATED THAT GM CONSIDERS THIS NORMAL AND NOT A PROBLEM. *KB

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

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.

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
