I PURCHASED MY 2012 CAMARO IN AUGUST OF 2012. IT WAS BRAND NEW, 0 MILEAGE WHEN I BOUGHT IT. SINCE I HAVE HAD IT, THERE HAVE BEEN NO ISSUES...UNTIL TODAY. I WOKE UP TO DISCOVER THAT MY ENTIRE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES, ALSO SPREADING THE FIRE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE. BOTH VEHICLES ARE NOW TOTALED. THE FIRE DAMAGE WAS SO EXTENSIVE THE CAMARO IS BASICALLY A BURNED FRAME. ALL OF THE GLASS AND BODY MELTED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DEEMED THERE WAS NO FOUL PLAY, AND IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER SIMILAR INCIDENTS, BUT I HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING YET. I DON'T KNOW IF MINE WAS JUST DEFECTIVE OR WHAT THE SCENARIO IS, BUT THIS DEFINITELY NEEDS MORE RESEARCH! *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH MY STEERING ON THIS VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND WAS IN A TURN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL KICKED BACK THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION I WAS TURNING AND I NEARLY WENT OFF THE ROAD. THE FORCE WAS SO GREAT THAT IT ACTUALLY INJURED MY SHOULDER WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL KICKED BACK. THE STEERING IN THE CAR HAS SINCE BEEN SO SLOPPY THAT I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT, THE CAR IS ALL OVER THE ROAD. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE ALIGNED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL TIRE STORE AND THEY CHECKED THE ALIGNMENT WHICH WAS ALL IN FACTORY SPECS. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TEST DROVE WITH A TECHNICIAN WHO DROVE WITH ME AND HE STATED IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. I LEFT THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER FOR 3 DAYS AND GOT A CALL THAT IT WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP. WHEN ASKED WHAT WAS DONE I WAS TOLD NOTHING...THE CAR NEEDS TO BE ALIGNED. I HAD THEM ALIGN THE VEHICLE WHICH BY THE WAY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP BEFORE THIS CAR KILLS ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. *TR*LN

ABOUT 10K LATER THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND LOST MY BRAKES!DEALER ORDERED A NEW RESERVOIR AND REPLACED IT! I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND FOOT KEPT GOING TO THE FLOOR! BROUGHT CAR BACK AND DEALER SAID IT WAS FINE.THEY REFUSED TO LET ME SPEAK TO A TECH OR SERVICE MANAGER!BROUGHT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THE CALLED GM.THERE WAS NO BRAKE PRESSURE AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ON! THEY TOOK OFF MASTER CYLINDER AND REBLED SYSTEM! LESS THAN 100 MILES LATER I WENT OUT TO START CAR AS I BEEN SICK AND DIDN'T WANT A DEAD BATTERY AND FOOT WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR! I OPENED HOOD AND RESERVOIR WAS SOAKED AND BRAKE FLUID SPRAYED ONTO THE POSITIVE JUMPER CABLE, LEAKED UNDER MASTER CYLINDER AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE WAS A SPRAY PATTERN DIRECTLY FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER!

2012 CAMARO HAS HAD POWER DOWN PROBLEMS WHILE JUST MERGING ON INTERSTATE STARTED AT 40,000 MILES. AIR BAG MODULE CLAIMED BY DEALERSHIP IF THE PROBLEM AND WILL COST TO FIX ALONG WITH THROTTLE CONTROL BODY. CAR HAD BEEN DIAGNOSED BY ANOTHER DEALER BUT NOTHING WAS TOLD COULD BE THE TAKA AIRBAG RECALL BUT NOT SURE WITH PRICE OF 1500 FOR REPAIRS THIS ALSO INCLUDES BREAK CHANGING I'M SURE IS NOT THE MAJOR COST. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS AIRBAG ISSUE ADDRESSED. THE POWER DOWN AND A DASH INFO POP UP FIRST CAME AT 36000 MILE. ALL ISSUES HAVE BEEN ON HIGHWAY 90 ALSO INTERSTATE 10 ON RAMP AND GENERAL DRIVING.

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER WITH A FLUID LEAK AT TH PASSENGER REAR SIDE OF THE CAR.. IT WAS VERY MINOR, PRODUCING ONLY A SMALL "BASEBALL" SIZED STAIN IN MY DRIVEWAY OVER A 3 MONTH PERIOD. FLUID WAS GREASY AND STICKY. THE DEALER REPORTED THAT THE CLAMP FOR THE FILLER TUB WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED BUT RHE FACTORY. THEY SAID THEY REPAIRED IT BY REMOVING AND RECLAMPING IT ON. ONCE I RETURNED HOME WITH THE CAR, I HAD A WHOLE NEW PROBLEM. GAS NOW LEAKS OUT ON MY DRIVEWAY ANYTIME THE TANK IS ABOVE ONE-FOURTH FULL. THE FLUID ON THE DRIVEWAY IS DISTINCTLY GAS, WHEREAS BEFORE, IT DID NOT HAVE THE ODOR OR APPEARANCE OF GAS. IT WAS STICKY, MORE TACKY LIKE A GREASE. I RETURNED TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I HAVE A CRACKED GAS TANK. THEY WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THEY INADVERTENTLY CRACKED IT DURING THE PREVIOUS REPAIR. THIS ONLY LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT CHEVROLET HAS AN INHERENT ISSUE WITH THEIR GAS TANKS IN THAT THEY WILL CRACK WITHOUT CAUSE BY THE DRIVER. THIS CAR WAS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CHEVROLET. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 23,200 MILES ON IT AL THE TIME AND THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED DUE TO TIMING: THE 24 MONTHS WAS OVER IN APRIL 2018. THE "CRACKED" GAS TANK WAS DISCOVERED IN AUGUST. PLEASE REVIEW. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE.

THE CONVERTIBLE TOP HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY SLOWER WHEN PUTTING IT UP AND DOWN. THERE ARE SIGNS ON THE TOP OF THE CAR WHERE IT LATCHES OF SOMETHING GRINDING. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE TOP OPERATED AT NORMAL SPEED WHEN COMPARED TO A SIMILAR MODEL. CURRENTLY OPERATION IS EXCEEDING 20 SECONDS FOR THE TOP TO BE LOWERED OR RAISED. ALSO TOP IS NOT GOING DOWN ALL THE WAY AS THE FABRIC OBSCURES THE MIRROR WHEN DRIVING. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START; REPAIRED AND THEN SYMPTOM HAPPENED AGAIN. SAID TO BE A FAULTY WATER BLADDER DESIGNED TO REMOVE LEAKING WATER FROM CONVT TOP IN THE TRUNK AREA, CAUSED BY TWO BUTTONS ON THE CONVERTIBLE TOP MISSING. DEALER SUGGESTED USING A CAR COVER TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. PROBLEM: THE DESIGN IS FLAWED AND THERE IS NO NOTICE THAT SOMETHING THIS DANGEROUS COULD HAPPEN. WHEN THE ELECTRICAL PARTS FAILED, (ENTIRE WIRE LOOM WAS COMPROMISED WITH NO WARNING!) NO SAFETY ITEMS WOULD WORK. IF VEHICLE WAS ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, DEATH WOULD PROBABLY OCCUR. VEHICLE(S) SHOULD BE RECALLED AND NEW SYSTEM DESIGNED TO ELIMINATE WATER INTRUSION. I UNDERSTAND FROM INTERNET THIS IS AN ONGOING SAFETY PROBLEM. I WAS CHARGED $ BECAUSE WATER LEAKS ARE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW AND NO NOTIFICATION FROM THE COMPANY OF THE DANGERS OF THIS DESIGN FLAW; NO MENTION ANYWHERE IN THE OPERATIONS MANUAL REGARDING THE LOCATION OF THE? BUTTONS? OR THE WATER BLADDER, OR THE CHANCE THAT THE VEHICLE COULD BECOME DISABLED DUE TO THE DESIGN FLAW. THIS VEHICLE, WITH THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE SHUT DOWN ON ANY OF THE MANY HIGHWAYS I DRIVE LEAVING ME, OR WORSE, MY WIFE IN DANGER AND POWERLESS WITH NO WARNING OF ANY PROBLEM. WHEN THE WIRE LOOM IN MY CAMARO AND FUSE BOX FAILED, ALL BRAKE LIGHTS AND ALL OTHER POWER FAILED. THIS REMINDS ME OF AN INCIDENT YEARS AGO ON THE PENNSYLVANIA/NEW JERSEY WALT WHITMAN BRIDGE WHERE A NEW FORD PRODUCT WAS RUN OVER AND ALL FOUR OCCUPANTS KILLED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. THE CAUSE WAS FOUND TO BE A BAD COMPUTER MODULE.

ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT WHILE GETTING OFF HIGHWAY, CAR SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. I CANT IMAGINE WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED HAD I STILL BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH CHEVY & GM CARS. I HAVE SEEN MANY FORUMS AND IT SEEMS NOTHING RESOLVES THIS ISSUE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL CHEVROLET & GM CARS.
