I was driving home and a truck overpassed me on a loose sand area causing me to have to make a sudden brake and my car due to the loose sand and rocks sing around and hit a power pole and the impact to the power pole that was on the corner bounced me car back and my car did a flip and it landed on its front bumper and ultimately rolled over 4 times down a hill and landed on all four tires during the impact front airbags did not deploy my whole entire front dash board exploded and fragments flew everywhere once my car festered to roll the side airbags dropped but did not inflate, at the moment that my car hit the pole my driver seat physically came out of place and and even with my seat belt on it throw me to my backseat and caused the seat belt to me twisted around me, this same issue was allegedly fixed by three way Chevy I had made a report during the time frame of June2023 when three way failed to fix my recall and fraudulently reported the recall repaired yet said no work was done to my car I was in contact with u guys already and this is unfortunately proof that supports my initial report to you from 2023 and need this investigation reopened

Gains speed on mild downhills. Request a feature to be called "Brake Saver" on all automatic transmissions. Depressing Brake downshifts if RPMs are low enough to reduce speed (2000-2500RPM, so next gear does not exceed 3600RPM). Taking foot off gas sets coasting maximum speed. If speed rises 5 km/hr 3 mi/hr the transmission downshifts to reduce speed to the speed the foot came off the gas pedal. Especially useful on Semis with Automatic transmissions.

I was driving my vehicle to school, and all the sudden i get a message saying "Engine Power Reduced!" as soon as that happened, my vehicle's speed decreased rapidly. making it hard to keep up at the same speed as traffic, I plugged my scan tool. And engine codes: P2138 and P2127 appeared on the reading. My check engine light is still on, and i noticed i see a flashing red color where my brake and gas pedal are located. I suspect its my Accelerator Pedal position sensor that malfunctioned or, my throttle body position sensor. but still I feel very unsafe driving the vehicle, the engine power is running extremely poorly. I would like to get a free Repair and Inspection of from A Chevy Dealer, I will continue driving the vehicle until the problem is fixed!

When someone sits in the passenger seat the airbag light/alarm goes on and off. My mechanic said I would need to take it to the dealer. I called dealer and they would need to diagnose if it is the seat belt or the seat weight sensor. Can cost upwards of $900. I just can't afford that. They should recall since I've researched so many complaints on this issue.

February 16, 2024 Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to bring to your urgent attention a potentially life-threatening issue regarding the 2011 SS Chevrolet Camaro. It has come to my attention, through personal experience and extensive research, that a hazardous situation exists due to a leaking gas tank in this vehicle model. Despite the gravity of this issue, the car's diagnostic system fails to detect any loss of fuel pressure or sense any fuel vapors, leaving unsuspecting drivers at serious risk. General Motors, particularly its Chevrolet division, has not issued any notice regarding defective fuel systems in the aforementioned vehicle model. This negligence is alarming, as the repercussions of such a flaw can be catastrophic, endangering human lives and personal property. Given the severity of this matter and the potential for serious injuries or fatalities, immediate action is imperative. It is my belief that this issue could affect model years ranging from 2009 to 2015, amplifying the urgency for intervention. One possible cause of this perilous defect could be attributed to the poor quality or substandard material of the fuel pump O-ring. Such a flaw constitutes a recipe for disaster and demands swift resolution. Furthermore, it is apparent that General Motors may be aware of this issue but has chosen not to address it, likely due to concerns about negative product branding and the associated costs of rectifying the problem. However, prioritizing profit over public safety is unacceptable and morally reprehensible. In light of the foregoing, I implore both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and General Motors to take immediate and decisive action to rectify this hazardous situation. Lives are at stake, and the responsibility to ensure the safety of consumers falls squarely on the shoulders of both the manufacturer and the regulatory bo

Car has new engine and transmission everything is new and well maintained, p2138 pops up throttle quits working causing me to almost wreck into another vehicle, I was stuck in traffic 1 hour waiting for a tow truck, 7 shops have worked on the issue and replaced every part including all the technical service bulletins provided here on the site and car is still doing the same thing. The electric system in the car is prone to these issue as is the ecm . Now it's either sell the car to someone with it being unsafe or spend another couple grand hoping to get it repaired. Chevys drive by wire system is a known issue with these cars yet no recall, why, why not recall and repair the issue or is our safety not a issue

ON AUGUST 18TH 2020. I WAS INTERESTED IN BUYING THIS 2011 CAMARO FROM TS AUTO SALES IN ORLANDO FLORIDA. THE SALESMAN NAME IS [XXX]. I ASKED HIM IF THERE WAS ANY EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE? HE SAID THE DRIVER SIDE WAS HIT AND IT WAS REPLACED. I ASKED HIM IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE? HE SAID NO. AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I LATER FOUND OUT, THAT HE WAS NOT BEING TRUTHFUL WITH ME. I LOOKED THE VEHICLE UP, AND FOUND THAT THE AIR BAGS HAD BEEN DEPLOYED. WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY VIOLATION. I ALSO ASKED HIM WHY THE BATTERY WAS BEING DRAINED. HE SAID IT JUST NEED TO BE CHARGED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A STEVE'S AUTO ELECTRIC IN CLERMONT FLORIDA. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THE AIR BAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AT THE COST OF $3,500. THIS IS A REBUILD ABLE TITLE. YOU CAN NOT GET THIS VEHICLE INSPECTED IF ALL OF THE REPAIRS ARE NOT DONE, AND YOU MUST HAVE RECEIPTS FOR EVERY PART THAT WAS REPAIRED, OR REPLACED. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE. TO MY UNDERSTANDING. IT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DEALERSHIP TO MAKE ANY MAJOR REPAIRS BEFORE SELLING A VEHICLE.

ON THE 2010-2014 CAMARO THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE HVAC BLEND/VALVE DOOR. THE ELECTRIC ACTUATOR CONNECTS TO THE DEFECTIVE BLEND/VALVE DOOR IT APPEARS TO BE MADE OF ABS OR SOME TYPE OF PLASTIC. THE MAIN CONCERN IS THAT IN COLD OR RAINY WEATHER THE FRONT DEFROST WILL NOT WORK ALLOWING WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW WHERE THERE IS NO VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO THE MOTORIST. THIS NOT A NORMAL WEAR PART. CHEVROLET HAS NOT OFFERED ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT BUT WILL CHARGE $2700.00- $3500 TO REPLACE A $14.00 PART. THIS CAUGHT ME OF GUARD A COUPLE OF TIMES IN RAINY WEATHER I HAD TO USE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WINDOW AND MIRROR TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY.

AS I SEARCH THE WEB FOR MY HVAC PROBLEM AND LEARN THERE IS A DEFECT WITH HVAC BLEN DOORS. EITHER YOUR VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY COLD OR HOT OR POSSIBLY HOT ON ONE SIDE AND COLD ON THE OTHER. THE UNCONTROLLED HEAT CAN PUT YOU TO SLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL ON DRIVING TRIP. I BELIEVE GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSE TO RECALL. THIS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR PART. THERE OUR THOUSANDS OF CAMARO OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING UP TO 3000.00 TO REPAIR. HOPE YOU CAN HELP!!!!!!
