LEAVING WORK AND THE CLUTCH STUCK WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR THEN THERE WAS A TERRIBLE BURNING SMELL AND IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THEN WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 65MPH I DOWN-SHIFTED FROM 6TH TO 5TH FOR UPCOMING SLOWER TRAFFIC AND THE CLUTCH STUCK AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTS TO STALL. BOTH TIMES I HAD PRESSED ON THE GAS THINKING THE CLUTCH WOULD COME OUT AND IT DIDN'T SO THEN THERE WAS TERRIBLE BURNING SMELL. I FINALLY GOT THE CLUTCH UNSTUCK BOTH TIMES AND PROCEEDED HOME. IT DIDN'T DO IT WHILE DRIVING TO WORK BUT MY CAR HAD BEEN IN THE GARAGE ALL NIGHT. HOWEVER, AT WORK MY CAR SITS OUTSIDE ALL DAY AND IT WAS REALLY COLD THAT DAY. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT IT. *TR

THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS WELL. THE FOLLOWING DAY AT THE CAR YARD WHILE THE KEY WAS INSERTED BY THE TECHNICIAN THE CAR SAID THAT AIRBAGS DEPLETED NEED REPLACING. *TR

WHEN MERGING INTO HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC THE TRANSMISSION GRINDS/REJECTS SECOND GEAR IN THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK AND SLOW DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. I ALMOST WAS IN A ACCIDENT DUE TO THE MISSED SHIFT.

8/15/2011

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 CAMARO RS THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE POWER TRAIN DISENGAGED MOMENTARILY ALL WARNING LIGHTS AND ESC FAILED. THE AUTO TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 2ND OR 3RD GEAR AND THE STEERING BECAME UNSTABLE. WARNING BELLS AND DOOR LOCKS WENT OFF. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER. DESPITE THREE TIMES TO REPAIR THE ESC, THE CAR CONTINUES TO FAIL. *TR

2011 CAMARO TIRES DO NOT GRIP THE ROAD PROPERLY & LOW TEMPERATURES LIKE HERE IN N.Y. DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE & AT NO POINT WAS I TOLD THAT THE TIRES ARE FOR SUMMER USE ONLY. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE & HAS TO BE USED ALL YEAR ROUND. I DID NOT THINK SPENDING TOP DOLLAR FOR A PERFORMANCE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO MEAN THAT I COULD ONLY OPERATE IT SAFELY 8 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR??? THIS VEHICLE WAS SHIPPED TO NY, TO BE SOLD IN NY! WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN? THE TIRES CANNOT BE TRUSTED & I FEAR IT WILL CAUSE SOMEONE THERE LIFE. *TR

12/9/2010

THE TIRES ON MY 2011 CHEVY CAMARO (AND OTHER MODELS) ARE PERELLI P-ZERO TIRES WHICH ARE "SUMMER" TIRES AS INDICATED BY THE MANUFACTURERS. THESE TIRES ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEAR FREEZING TEMPS. THE AUTO MANUFACTURER FAILED TO INFORM ME THE TIRES (WHICH ARE STOCK) ARE ONLY RECOMMENDED FOR WARM WEATHER. I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT INFORMED MOST CUSTOMERS OF THE SITUATION. MY RESEARCH INDICATES THESE TIRES EXHIBIT MORE PROBLEMS WITH HANDLING IN COLD TEMPS AS TIRE WEAR INCREASES. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE AUTO HAS INDICATED TO ME THAT THEIR ENGINEERS ARE CONFIDENT THESE TIRES ARE SAFE, BUT THE TIRE MANUFACTURER CONTINUES TO RECOMMEND AGAINST USING THESE TIRES IN NEAR FREEZING TEMPS. AS MOST OF THE CONTINENTAL USA IS EXPOSED TO NEAR FREEZING AND BELOW FREEZING TEMPS, I AM CONCERNED THESE TIRES WILL RESULT IN CRASHES WHICH COULD BE AVOIDED IF THE AUTO MANUFACTURER PROVIDED PROPER TIRES FOR OUR CLIMATE. THIS IS A PROBLEM WHICH MAY GO UNNOTICED AS MOST ACCIDENTS GO UN-INVESTIGATED OR AN INVESTIGATOR WILL NOT CONSIDER THE TEMPS WERE NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. *TR

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

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

SUMMER TIRES COME STANDARD WITH VEHICLE. TEMPERATURE 38 DEGREES TIRES LOOSE ALL HANDLING CAPABILITIES. NUMEROUS OTHER CAMARO OWNERS HAVE LODGED COMPLAINTS AND CAN BE FOUND ON INTERNET. THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS. *TR

1/15/2013

I WAS TURNING RIGHT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THEN BY MISTAKE THE BACK RIGHT TIRE AND WHEEL HIT THE CURVE AND THAT MADE A LITTLE DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL AND THE WHEEL IS LITTLE BIT DIAGONAL. WORST CASE SCENARIO THE BEARINGS IS BROKEN. MY COMPLAINT IS WHY WOULD THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY THAT MOMENT WHILE THE IMPACT IS ONLY ON THE WHEEL? ALSO MY FRIEND WAS SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED THE POWDER THAT COMES OUT FROM IT GOT ON HIS SKIN AND HE GOT BURNED FROM IT, SINCE THAT IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE BURNS IF IT GETS ON UNPROTECTED SKIN, AND IT CAN SEVERELY IRRITATE THE LUNGS IF INHALED. THE MAIN POINT IS THE AIRBAG SHOULDN'T DEPLOY IN A SMALL DAMAGE AS THIS, I HAVE SAID THAT BECAUSE I EXPERIENCED IT WITH 2010 S600 MERCEDES BENZ, THE DAMAGE WAS WAY WAY WORSE THEN THE ONE ON THE CAMARO. THE DAMAGE ON THE S600 WAS TO WHEELS BROKEN AND THE BODY GOT EFFECTED AND THE ACCIDENT WAS VERY SIMILAR TO THE CAMARO AND THE AIRBAG ON THE S600 DIDN'T DEPLOY AND MERCEDES HAVE BETTER QUALITY AND MORE SAFETY THEN CHEVROLET. I WENT TO THE ROYAL CHEVROLET IN WEST BROAD STREET RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. THEY DIDN'T TREAT ME WELL THEY WERE TALKING TO ME AS CHILD THEY DIDN'T EVEN INSPECT THE CAR THEY JUST THE AIRBAGS DID WHAT IT SUPPOSE TO DO THAT WAS BY THE SERVICE MANAGER. I TOLD HIM THE DAMAGE WAS VERY MINOR AND THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG SHOULDN'T HAPPEN HE DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING HE WAS TRYING TO FLIP THE WHOLE THING ON ME. HE TOLD I HAVE NOTHING TO DO GO CALL GM. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NOT KNOWING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CONVERTIBLE TOPS. TOP STARTED COMING IN A WHOLE SO TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WOULD NOT FIX. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM THEY PUT A NEW TOP ON IT THEN HAD TO HAVE NEW FRAME BECAUSE IT WAS BENT PICKED UP LAST WEEK AND NOW TOP HAS PULLED AWAY FROM WINDOWS AFTER TOP HAD BEEN ON CAR LESS THAN A WEEK. IF WE WERE TO BE IN A WRECK BACK PASSENGER'S ARM COULD GO OUT OPENING AND BE CUT OFF. GM NEEDS TO BE MADE TO PURCHASE THESE CARS BACK BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED, HAVE MATERIAL WHERE PEOPLE HAVE POSTED THESE TOPS COMING COMPLETELY OFF CARS GOING DOWN THE ROAD ONCE THEY SEPARATE FROM WINDOWS AS MINE HAVE. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR AND IT HAS STAYED IN THE SHOP MORE THAN I HAVE GOT TO DRIVE IT. BACK FLOOR BOARD IS WET FROM WATER POURING IN WHERE OPENING IS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRAIN IS COMING THROUGH YOU CAR THEIR SO MUCH WIND NOISE. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2011 CAMARO SS. THIS WAS A GIFT TO MY WIFE BECAUSE SHE HAD ALWAYS LOVED THE CAMARO. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AT A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR HOME ABOUT 70 MILES WITH NO TROUBLE AT ALL. A FEW DAYS LATER THE TEMPERATURE IN NORTH CAROLINA DROPPED TO AROUND 40 DEG AND STARTED TO RAIN. MY WIFE TOOK MY DAUGHTER TO THE STORE AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO GET ABOVE 30 MPH BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNCONTROLLABLE DUE TO THE REAR END CONSTANTLY FISH TAILING. I WAS CALLED BY HER CRYING BECAUSE SHE WAS SO SCARED. I CONTACTED A FRIEND TO GO AND GET THE CAR AND HE CALLED ME AS HE WAS DRIVING TELLING ME WHAT THE CAR WAS DOING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON LINE I FOUND OUT THAT THE PIRELLI PZERO TIRES THAT COME STANDARD ON THE SS AND RS CAMARO ARE SUMMER ONLY? TIRES. THESE TIRES ARE ONLY TO BE DRIVEN IN TEMPERATURES ABOVE 45 DEG AND IN DRY CONDITIONS! I AM CURRENTLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND RELIED TOTALLY ON THE DEALERSHIP TO INFORM MY WIFE OF ANY ISSUES OR WARNINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE COME WITH THE CAR. ALSO CHEVROLET IS TOTALLY AT FAULT BY SELLING, AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT, A TIRE THAT IS DANGEROUS TO THE POINT OF BEING CRIMINAL WHEN DRIVEN IN WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT COVER MOST OF THE UNITED STATES. I HAD TO PURCHASES, AT THE COST OF OVER $1000.00, A SET OF TIRES THAT ARE ?ALL SEASON? SO MY WIFE CAN DRIVE SAFELY. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE PAYING OVER $40,000.00 FOR A CAR THAT I NEED TO SPEND ANOTHER GRAND ON JUST TO MAKE IT SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. I WILL NOTIFY EVERYONE AND ANYONE THAT I CAN ABOUT THE HAZARDS OF THIS SITUATION. *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

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

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

THE PASSENGER CURTAIN SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AFTER MAKING A SHARP LEFT HAND TURN OUT OF A TURNOUT UPON TRYING TO REENTER THE ROADWAY. THE TIRES LOST TRACTION FOR A BRIEF MOMENT AND THE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED OVER MY HEAD ON BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SEATBELT PRETENSIONERS ALSO ACTUATED AND TIGHTENED VERY HARD. THE CAB WAS FILLED WITH WHITE SMOKE AND MY VISION WAS LOST MOMENTARILY. I WAS TRAVELING TO WORDS THE ROADWAY BUT MANAGED TO STOP PREVIOUS TO ENTERING THE ROAD. THERE WAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND I WAS ALSO BURNED AND MY NECK VERY SEVERELY INJURED DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE VIOLENT EXPLOSION RIGHT NEXT TO MY HEAD. MY LEFT EARDRUM IS ALSO PERMANENTLY RUPTURED DUE TO THIS EVENT. MY VEHICLE WAS LOCATED ON A MOUNTAN ROAD IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY 2. HAD THIS HAPPENED IN A CORNER ON THE ACTUAL ROADWAY THE CONSIQUENCES MAY HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SEVERE. AGAIN NOTHING AT ALL WAS STRUCK DURING THE DEPLOYMENT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN HIT SINCE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THAT MORNING THEY GAVE ME A LOANER BUT STILL AFTER A WEEK HAD NIT EVEN LOOKED AT THE CAR AND INFORMED ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE RENTAL. WHE N I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF BED I RETURNED TO THE DEALER RETURNED THE CAR AND TOOK MINE BACK. I CONTACTED LAWYER AFTER L LAWYER BONE OF WHICH WANTED TO HELP. I WAS FORCED TO GO BACK TO WORK AS I AM SELF EMPLOYED AND HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF SUPPORTING MYSELF. THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED AND MY MEDICAL ISSUES STILL PERSIST.

DRIVER'S SEAT BELT VERY DIFFICULT TO RELEASE

8/24/2017

SECOND GEAR GRIND . 2011 CAMARO LS. SIX SPEED TRANSMISSION. SECOND GEAR GRIND OCCURS WITH EVERY UP SHIFT OR DOWN SHIFT . THIS OCCURS DURING ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. AT TIMES CAR WILL NOT GO INTO SECOND GEAR AT ALL CAUSING CONCERN FOR SAFETY . I HAVE CONTACTED GM WHO HAS ADDRESSED THE ISSUE ONCE BUT THE REPAIR WAS MADE WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. THE ISSUE RETURNED AFTER 3,000 MILES. THE ATTEMPTED REPAIR WAS. SYNCHRONIZERS, NEW FIRST AND SECOND GEARS, BALL BEARINGS AND FORKS. AGAIN AFTER 3,000 MILES THE GRIND AND SECOND GEAR FAILURE HAS RETURNED AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE WORSE THEN THE FIRST TIME. MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED AND IS FULL STOCK. *TR

8/8/2011

AFTER ONLY 12,500 MILES AND 9 MONTHS, THE CLUTCH IN MY 2011 V6 CAMARO LS BURNT OUT. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT IT LOOKS LIKE I DROVE IT "AGGRESSIVELY." I HAVE NOT, AS IT IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I OBVIOUSLY NEED IT FOR WORK. THEY ARE NOT COVERING THE CLUTCH BECAUSE IT IS 500 MILES OVER MY "WEARABLE PARTS WARRANTY." NOW I HAVE SENT AN EMAIL COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ISSUE TO CHEVROLET AND THEY ARE SENDING A REGIONAL TECHNICIAN OUT TO LOOK AT THE CAR. BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE (CHECK THE CAMARO5.COM FORUMS) AND SHOULD BE FIXED SOMEHOW. *TR

8/10/2011

WITHIN ONLY ONE MONTH CONVERTIBLE TOP HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER 6 MONTHS ANOTHER HOLE IS DEVELOPING ON THE CONVERTIBLE TOP DUE TO CHAFFING FROM THE FRAME ASSEMBLY WHEN DOWN. IT LOOKS LIKE THE FRAME ASSEMBLY IS CAUSING THE DAMAGE TO THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. *TR GM HAS CHANGED THE FIRST TOP BUT HAS PUT THE SECOND TOP IN A STATUS OF AWAITING ENGINEERING. TOP IS STILL NOT CHANGED. ALMOST 4000 MILES ON CAR NOW. *TR

I'M A OWNER OF A 2011 CHEVROLET AVEO . 65,000 MILES. I ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 15 MONTHS I HAVE CHANGE OUT TIRES TWICE SINCE I HAD IT , I GOT MY CAR FIXED ON 4 TIMES ALREADY ONE BEING SPARK PLUGS , THE CONTAINER THAT HOLDS THE ANTIFREEZE REPLACE, THE BRAKES, AND ALSO THE PART THAT HOLDS THE OIL THAT IS REMOVED DURING OIL CHANGE METAL WAS STRIPPED WHEN I WENT FOR MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AND I HAD TO GET THAT REPLACED...IT SLOWS DOWN GOING UP A HEEL AND ALSO WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT ESPECIALLY ON A HEEL. JUST THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING UP A HEEL AND MY BRAKES WOULDN'T PUSH DOWN MY CAR HAD A ELECTRICAL GLITCH THAT MADE MY CLOCK RESTART ...ALSO THERE IS A WEIRD NOISE MY CAR HAS BEEN MAKE FROM DAY 1 WHEN I START DRIVING IT SOUNDS LIKE I'M DRIVING A SMALL HELICOPTER THAT'S ABOUT TO TAKE OFF I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WAS HOW THOSE CARS SOUND .....IDK WHAT TO BELIEVE I HATE I EVER GOT THIS CAR THE DEALER DONT EVEN WANT THE CAR BACK THEY ONLY OFFERED ME 2,500 FOR THE CAR I PAID 11,000 FOR.I WAS TOLD ITS NOT IN HIGH DEMAND NO ONE WANTS THE CAR....

6/23/2016

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY CAMARO 2SS WITH HID HEADLIGHTS HAVE GOTTEN SO DIM THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE CAR DOESN'T LIGHT UP THE ROAD AT ALL. I ONLY USE IT DURING THE DAY. IF I NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE AT NIGHT I HAVE TO USE MY OTHER VEHICLE. I WENT TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS $125.00 TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON. I'VE READ ALL OVER THE INTERNET THAT EVERYONE THAT HAS THESE CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE LIGHTS SO WE CAN BE SAFE WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND $1500.00 TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHTS.

11/7/2019

FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD HAS DISTORTION IN LINE OF SIGHT. HAD NEW MANUFACTURER'S PART INSTALLED AND 2ND WINDSHIELD HAS SAME ISSUE. IT CAUSES DIZZINESS AND IS VERY DISTRACTING. *TR

9/30/2011

THE WINDSHIELD IN MY 2011 CAMARO APPEARS TO HAVE OPTICAL DISTORTION WHICH CREATES A GHOSTING EFFECT THAT IS VERY DISTRACTING. IN PARTICULAR, AT NIGHT WHEN THERE ARE HEADLIGHTS, TAIL-LIGHTS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, ROAD SIGNS, AND ETCETERA IT IS ESPECIALLY BAD. THIS IS EVEN SEEN WITH SUNLIGHT REFLECTIONS DURING DAYTIME DRIVING. THE REASON I FEEL IT IS OPTICAL DISTORTION IN THE WINDSHIELD IS BECAUSE IF I RAISE MY HEAD TO THE VERY TOP PORTION OF THE WINDSHIELD, THE OPTICAL DISTORTION GOES AWAY. I FEEL THIS IS INDICATIVE OF AN ANOMALY/DEFECT IN THE WINDSHIELD ITSELF. I HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED ONCE WITH A NEW FACTORY WINDSHIELD AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME OPTICAL DISTORTION ISSUES. I'M CURRENTLY TRYING TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS INDEED A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN WHICH I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE EVER DRIVEN (WHICH MAKES IT EVEN MORE STRANGE). IT IS MY HOPE THAT THIS TESTIMONY WILL BE HELPFUL TO ANYONE ELSE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2011 CAMARO SS. THIS WAS A GIFT TO MY WIFE BECAUSE SHE HAD ALWAYS LOVED THE CAMARO. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AT A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR HOME ABOUT 70 MILES WITH NO TROUBLE AT ALL. A FEW DAYS LATER THE TEMPERATURE IN NORTH CAROLINA DROPPED TO AROUND 40 DEG AND STARTED TO RAIN. MY WIFE TOOK MY DAUGHTER TO THE STORE AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO GET ABOVE 30 MPH BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNCONTROLLABLE DUE TO THE REAR END CONSTANTLY FISH TAILING. I WAS CALLED BY HER CRYING BECAUSE SHE WAS SO SCARED. I CONTACTED A FRIEND TO GO AND GET THE CAR AND HE CALLED ME AS HE WAS DRIVING TELLING ME WHAT THE CAR WAS DOING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON LINE I FOUND OUT THAT THE PIRELLI PZERO TIRES THAT COME STANDARD ON THE SS AND RS CAMARO ARE SUMMER ONLY? TIRES. THESE TIRES ARE ONLY TO BE DRIVEN IN TEMPERATURES ABOVE 45 DEG AND IN DRY CONDITIONS! I AM CURRENTLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND RELIED TOTALLY ON THE DEALERSHIP TO INFORM MY WIFE OF ANY ISSUES OR WARNINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE COME WITH THE CAR. ALSO CHEVROLET IS TOTALLY AT FAULT BY SELLING, AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT, A TIRE THAT IS DANGEROUS TO THE POINT OF BEING CRIMINAL WHEN DRIVEN IN WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT COVER MOST OF THE UNITED STATES. I HAD TO PURCHASES, AT THE COST OF OVER $1000.00, A SET OF TIRES THAT ARE ?ALL SEASON? SO MY WIFE CAN DRIVE SAFELY. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE PAYING OVER $40,000.00 FOR A CAR THAT I NEED TO SPEND ANOTHER GRAND ON JUST TO MAKE IT SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. I WILL NOTIFY EVERYONE AND ANYONE THAT I CAN ABOUT THE HAZARDS OF THIS SITUATION. *TR

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
