2013 Chevrolet Camaro Owner Complaints

AFTER MY CAMARO STALLED AND I REPORTED IT I CALLED ONSTAR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD 43,000+ MILES ON THE CAR THE VIN WAS REGISTERING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE THEM AWARE THAT GM NOTED THAT THE CAR WAS READING THIS HIGH MILEAGE. I WANTED TO RETURN THE CAR, THEY WOULD NOT DO IT. I WANTED TO EXCHANGE THE CAR, THEY WOULD NOT DO IT. ONSTAR, GM, ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, NOR THE DEALERSHIP KNOWS WHERE THE MILEAGE CAME FROM. I NEED ANSWERS. *TR

STARTING DAY 1 AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2013, THE VEHICLES BACK UP CAM BEGAN TO FREEZE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE UNTIL I PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND OPEN THE DOOR TO COMPLETELY SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN. A FEW MONTHS LATER ON TOP OF THE RADIO AND BACK UP CAMERA ISSUES THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO CREATE A CHAIN DRAGGING SOUND WHEN ACCELERATING, IT THEN BEGINS TO PULSATE WHILE MY FOOT IS ON THE ACCELERATION PEDDLE AND THE SOUND CONTINUES, THE VEHICLES RADIO THEN FREEZES AND RESETS ITSELF STARTING IN OCTOBER OF 2013. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO CERTIFIED CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENTS WITHIN MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO GET THE VEHICLE FIXED. THE DEALER HAS STATED AND BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS COMPLETELY AND HAS RAN OUT OF ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS TO THE FIX THE PROBLEMS AFTER PUTTING OVER 800 ADDITIONAL ROAD MILES ON MY VEHICLE IN ORDER TO TRY TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. *TR

BOUGHT A 2013 CAMARO, MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON MY CAR MY KEYS WERE BUMPED BY MY KNEE AND THE CAR JUST STALLED. THANKFULLY ONLY I WAS INVOLVED AND NO ONE COMING FROM THE OPPOSING WAS HURT AS I ENDED UP IN A TRAIN TRACK MEDIAN WITH SOME DAMAGE ONLY TO MY CAR. I DRIVE WITH THE FEAR THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND THE SIMPLE FACT THAT THEY REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE FLIPKEY/CONTROL DOES NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE EXPERIMENTED WITH DIFFERENT CARS BY PURPOSEDLY BUMP MY KEYS AND NONE STALLED WITH AS LITTLE FORCE AS THE ONE ASSERTED ONTO THE CAMARO. THIS IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN AND ENGINEERING FLAW THAT NEEDS A BETTER SOLUTION THAN THEIR FIX.

I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT WHEN I GOT TO ROUGHLY 2000 RPMS ( ROUGHLY 17 MPH) PUSHED THE CLUTCH FULLY IN AND ATTEMPTED TO GO INTO 2ND GEAR. HOWEVER, THE SHIFTER PHYSICALLY WOULD NOT ALLOW THIS SHIFTER TO GO INTO 2ND GEAR WITH UP TO, I WOULD SAY 20LBS OF FORCE. AS A RESULT OF TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO GO INTO 2ND GEAR THE DRIVER BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF HIS LANE TO AVOID FROM RE-ENDING ME. I QUICKLY HAD TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFTER TO 3RD GEAR TO GET MY SPEED BACK. THIS HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF OVER 3 TIMES NOW! THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THESE KINDS OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I HAVE AN APT. WITH THE DEALER 11/28/12. *TR

2013 CAMARO LS FUEL INJECTORS POSE A CHANCE AT BEING DEFECTIVE, AFTER BUYING THE CAR AND NOTICING TWO OF THE INJECTORS HAVING ALREADY BEEN REPLACED, I AM NOW LESS THEN A MONTH OF OWNING THE CAR. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY HAVING ITS FOURTH FUEL INJECTOR REPLACED, THIS MAY CAUSE HARM TO THE VEHICLE IF IT DOES NOT DO WHAT IT IS DESIGNED TO DO. THE CAR IS SUPPOSE TO PUT ITS SELF IN "LIMP" MODE REDUCING POWER AND THE CHANCE OF HARMING THE ENGINE, IT WILL ALSO DISPLAY A SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE. SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ARE REQUIRED TO ONLY REPLACE THE BAD INJECTORS HOWEVER IF YOU CONTACT CORPORATE GM THEY WILL WORK WITH YOU TO REPLACE THE REMAINING INJECTORS IF THE PROBLEM CONSISTS AS DID MINE. THERE ARE NO PREEMPTIVE SIGNS OF THE INJECTORS GOING BAD. OVERALL SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE PROVIDED. *TR

THE AISIN AY6 TRANSMISSION IN MY BRAND NEW 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO LS IS DEFECTIVE TO THE POINT OF BEING A SAFETY ISSUE AND GM WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS AN ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING. THE TRANSMISSION, FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR, HAS NEVER SHIFTED SMOOTHLY WITHOUT GRINDING OR CAUSING MISSED SHIFTS. THIS CAN BE, AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT IT IS A POORLY DESIGNED TRANSMISSION THAT GM IS PUTTING IN THESE CARS AND ENOUGH ISSUES HAVE BEEN RAISED THAT THEY SHOULD BE FIXING THE PROBLEMS OR REPLACING THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE CARS. I WANT THIS ISSUE RESOLVED AND ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A "HILL ASSIST" FEATURE FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION CARS. IT DOES NOT RELEASE PROPERLY OR ACTIVATES IMPROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HOLDS EXCESSIVELY LONG ON INCLINES, WILL NOT RELEASE WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC OR EVEN ACTIVATES ON LEVEL GROUND WITH NO INCLINE! I HAVE COMPLAINED MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE GENERAL MOTORS SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHEN I TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE AND IT HAS BEEN CHECKED REPEATEDLY. IT IS ALWAYS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED!" I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE SERVICE PERSONNEL INCLUDING THE SHOP SUPERVISOR AND THEY ALL KNOW IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES! IT SEEMS TO BE A JOKE THAT THE SYSTEM OPERATES SO POORLY EXCEPT THAT I BELIEVE IT IS INEVITABLE THAT IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. EITHER TO MYSELF OR TO SOMEONE ELSE. THE MESSAGE BOARDS ARE FULL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FEATURE AND IT IS UNIVERSALLY DESPISED BY EVERYONE ON EVERY VEHICLE IT IS INSTALLED ON! I HAVE ASKED FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED OR REMOVED BY THE DEALER YET THEY TELL ME THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO SO. THE MESSAGE BOARDS HAVE FOUND A WORK AROUND SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING A YAW SENSOR WITHOUT THE LATERAL ACCELEROMETER THAT THE VEHICLE USES! I AM WILLING FOR THE DEALER TO DO THIS AT THEIR EXPENSE NOT MINE, BUT THEY REFUSE. IT IS A GM PART INSTALLED ON A GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE AND DOES NOT DISABLE THE STABILITY SYSTEM. ONLY THE HILL ASSIST PORTION. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE CLUTCH AND BRAKES AS I HAVE LEARNED TO OVER REV THE ENGINE TO DRAG IT OUT OF THIS LOCK POSITION TO SMOOTHLY MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. I AM COMPLETELY AWARE OF THE TECHNOLOGY AS I AM AN ASE MASTER AND L-1 CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN WITH OVER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING INCLUDING GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIPS! *TR

ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A LIGHT POST DUE TO THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A BURN ON THE LEFT WRIST FROM THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,600.

THE AIRBAGS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR ARE FAULTY. THEY ONLY SAY THEY ARE ON SPORADICALLY. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING AND PROVEN TO BE AN ISSUE WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP. GM IS NOT FOLLOWING PROTOCOL WITH THIS ISSUE AND MANY OTHER ONES. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NO LONGER WORK ON THE CAR SO NOW I AM DRIVING A CAR WHERE THE AIRBAGS MAY OR MAY NOT BE WORKING. *TR

I HAVE A MANUAL V8 MODEL. WHENEVER STOPPED ON AN INCLINE, THE HILL START ASSIST (HSA) ENGAGES. THE FIRST TIME I GAVE IT PLENTY OF THROTTLE AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT DISENGAGE AND CAUSED ME TO STALL. THE 2ND TIME, I HAD THE RPM VERY HIGH AND AGAIN THE BRAKES WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. MY CAR WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN UNDER THE STRAIN. WHEN IT FINALLY RELEASED THE CAR, I WAS GREETED WITH THE SMELL OF BURNING CLUTCH. THIS CANNOT BE NORMAL. I DON'T THINK HITTING 2000 RPM AND DROPPING THE CLUTCH SHOULD BE A NORMAL METHOD TO OVERCOME TEH HSA SYSTEM. I HAVE AUTO HILL BRAKING ON OTHER VEHICLES THAT ARE NEARLY INVISIBLE TO ME AND WORK FLAWLESSLY. I BEEN DRIVING MANUAL CARS FOR 20+ YEARS AND HAVE NO ISSUES ON HILL STARTS. ONE OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES IS THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN OFF THE HSA FEATURE. I THINK YOU NEED TO FORCE GM TO RECALIBRATE THE SYSTEM AND/OR ALLOW THE DRIVER TO TURN THE HSA FEATURE OFF. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WITHOUT ANY EXAGGERATION, I SAW MY LIFE FLASH IN FRONT OF MY EYES, I THOUGHT I WAS A GONER. SEEING YOUR TIRE MOVING FORWARD, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY TRYING TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE FROM COLLIDING WITH THE CEMENTED MEDIAN, WAS THE WORSE EXPERIENCE YET, WHAT A NIGHTMARE. THIS WHOLE INCIDENT FELT LIKE I WAS HIT BY AND IED IN IRAQ, WHAT A SCARE. MY QUESTION TO ANYONE IS, HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

6 MONTHS AGO MY INFOTAINMENT SCREEN STARTED FLASHING AND THE CD WOULD OCCASIONALLY POP OUT OF THE PLAYER ON ITS OWN. THE MUSIC WOULD TURN ITSELF OFF THEN COME BACK ON, STARTLING ME AS IT WOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD STATIC OR POPPING SOUND. IT STARTED OFF INTERMITTENTLY, THEN THE SCREEN WENT COMPLETELY BLACK AND THE MUSIC STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY EXCEPT FOR THE CONSTANT BUZZING/STATIC SOUND ACCOMPANIED BY CLICKING AS THOUGH SOMETHING IS TRYING TO TURN ON. THE SCREEN AND THE MUSIC OCCASIONALLY MAKE A SURPRISING APPEARANCE, USUALLY AFTER I'VE COME TO A STOP, ROLLED MY WINDOW DOWN OR USED THE TURN SIGNAL. WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE NEXT THING, THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. TO THIS DAY IT COMES ON AND OFF AT ITS LEISURE, INCLUDING THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOW DEFROST. MY BLINKERS NO LONGER MAKE THE SOUND TO ALERT ME THAT THEY ARE ON. ON A FEW OCCASIONS MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW HAS FAILED TO OPERATE. I ASSUME ONE DAY THAT WILL BE ALSO BE INOPERATIVE BASED ON PREVIOUS TRENDS. I CANCELLED MY SUBSCRIPTION TO ONSTAR SINCE I HAVE NO ACCESS TO THE FEATURES ANY LONGER. THIS MEANS I NO LONGER HAVE NAVIGATION, ACCESS TO EMERGENCY SERVICES, HANDS FREE CALLING OR EVEN ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. I NO LONGER HAVE THE ABILITY TO REMOTE ACCESS MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS ONE OF THE MAIN SELLING POINTS. NOW PLEASE IMAGINE TAKING AN UNCOMFORTABLY SILENT RIDE WITH ME AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN A CD THAT WASN'T PLAYING POPS OUT AND THE AIR CONDITIONER KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF, ALL WHILE THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE ITS ABOUT TO EXPLODE. I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND COUNTLESS SITES WITH NUMEROUS OWNERS STATING THAT THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. ADD ANOTHER 5000 OR SO CHARACTERS TO THIS COMPLAINT BOX AND I WILL GLADLY COPY AND PASTE THOSE OWNERS' STORIES FOR YOU TO CONSIDER AS WELL. CHEVROLET/GM SAY THAT THIS IS MY ISSUE ALONE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL YEARS BEFORE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE

3/21/2018

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN BLINDED BY THE SUN BECAUSE OF THE USELESSNESS OF THE SMALL SUNVISOR. THIS HAS OCCURRED BOTH WITH FRONT VISIBILITY OR TRYING TO SHIELD EYES FROM THE SIDE WINDOW. MY PASSENGERS HAVE ALSO BEEN EFFECTED THE SAME WAY. THE VISORS ARE NOT DEEP OR LONG ENOUGH RESPECTIVELY TO BE OF ANY VALUE. THIS CONCERN IS MORE SEVERE WHEN EXPRESS WAY DRIVING OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WHICH I HAVE RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED AND PROMPTED THIS REPORTING.

ON TWO OCCASIONS LESS THAN A WEEK APART THE VEHICLE ENGINE, WHILE IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEED (70 MPH) AFTER APPROXIMATELY TEN HOURS OF OPERATION, STOPPED RUNNING. THE VEHICLE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CARS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED. THE CAR WAS GUIDED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY ON BOTH OCCASIONS. A RESTART WAS ATTEMPTED WHILE ON THE SHOULDER. THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT WOULD NOT RUN. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS REQUESTED AND A TOW WAS PERFORMED TO THE NEAREST DEALER. THE DEALER IN THE FIRST INSTANCE STATED THAT THE ERROR CODE WAS FOR THE FUEL PUMP. THE PUMP WAS ORDERED BUT BEFORE ARRIVING, THE DEALER DISCOVERED FRAYED WIRE AND MADE UNSPECIFIED REPAIRS. IN THE SECOND INSTANCE, THE CODE WAS GONE WHEN THE DEALER SCANNED THE SYSTEM. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE.

PASSENGER SEAT BELT CLIP IS DEFECTIVE. BELT CLIP KEEPS COMING UNDONE CONSTANTLY THEREFORE WILL NOT RETAIN SEAT BELT PROPERLY. ONCE THE SEATBELT COMES OUT OF THE CLIP IT CROSSES OVER THE PASSENGERS' NECK CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT CAUSES UNDUE DISCOMFORT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED IN EXTREMELY HUMID WEATHER, THE ENTIRE FRONT EXTERIOR WINDSHIELD BECAME FOGGY DUE TO THE COLD AIR BLOWING FROM THE TOP DASHBOARD AIR VENT. THE AIR FLOW EMITTED FROM THE VENT WITHOUT THE DEFROSTER CONTROL SETTING ENGAGED. THE DEALER INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700. .... UPDATED 10-17-13 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE ISSUE APPEARED TO BE A DEFECT IN THE DESIGNED AIR CONTROL SYSTEM. UNDER THE CURRENT OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM, WHEN IN THE AIR CONDITIONING MODE WITH BI-LEVEL, OR FOOT LEVEL SELECTED, WHETHER USING RE-CIRCULATING AIR OR FRESH AIR, THE SYSTEM DELIVERED COLD AIR TO THE WINDSHIELD THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD VENTS. THE AIR CONDITIONED AIR COMING OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD VENTS CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO GET COLD. IN HIGH HUMIDITY , THIS CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

THE FACTORY RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON WITH BLINKING LIGHTS ON THE RADIO ITSELF ALONG WITH THE A/C UNIT SHUTTING DOWN AND BACK UP. THE TURN SIGNAL ALSO DO NOT MAKE ANY SOUND. SOMETIMES, IF I TURN-OFF THE CAR AND PULL THE KEY OUT AND BACK IN AND CRACK EVERTHING RETURNS AS NORMAL. ALL THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE POINTS TO THE RADIO. THEY JUST REPLACE IT WITH A AFTERMARKET. THEY DO NOT MAKE MY RADIO ANY MORE. SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DEVICE.

THE HIGH MOUNT LED BRAKE LIGHT IS MOUNTED ON THE REAR WINDSHIELD AT AN ANGLE THAT RECEIVES DIRECT HEAT FROM THE SUN CAUSING A SLIM CRACK ON THE BRAKE LED BOARD. THE CRACK WILL SHIFT BACK AND FORTH SOMETIMES ILLUMINATING WHEN BRAKING BUT AT TIMES THE SLIM CRACK ON THE LED BOARD WILL PREVENT THE LAMP FROM ILLUMINATING CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD TO PASSENGERS OF INSUFFICIENT BRAKE NOTIFICATION TO TRAFFIC FOLLOWING BEHIND. A REPLACEMENT LED LAMP WILL SUFFER THE SAME FATE BASED ON THE ANGLE OF THE LAMP POSITIONED FACING THE DIRECT HEAT OF THE SUN. I WAS IN MOTION AND PULLED OVER BY LE BECAUSE THE LAMP WAS OUT BUT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THE OFFICER AND I TESTED IT. MECHANICS INSPECTED THE LAMP AND FOUND THE SLIM CRACK ON THE LED BOARD THAT ALLOWED SHIFTING OF CONTACTS. DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPORTED THIS SLIM CRACK ON THE LED BOARD AS A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO THE INTENSE HEAT OF THE SUN BEARING DOWN ON THE LED LAMP WHICH IS ANGLED OUT WITH NO VISOR.

I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AT 1575 86TH STREET IN BROOKLYN, NY IN REGARDS TO THE LETTER I RECEIVED FOR THE RECALL OF CHEVROLET CAMARO VEHICLES, 2013 MODEL YEARS. THE RECALL IS FOR THE IGNITION KEY THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITY. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM NUMEROUS TIMES AND WE ARE YET TO EVEN HEAR BACK FROM THEM. THIS IS A HUGE LIABILITY TO ANYONE DRIVING THIS CAR. THE GM SAFETY RECALL NUMBER IS 14294. WHEN I CALLED IN OCTOBER THEY SAID ONLY 2 WEEKS TO ORDER THE REPLACEMENT AND SCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT. I CALLED AGAIN IN NOVEMBER AND THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PART AND PLACED ANOTHER ORDER. NOW IT IS MORE THAN A MONTH LATER AND I STILL DO NOT HEAD BACK FROM THEM. I CALLED TODAY AND THEY ARE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND AND SUGGESTED THEY WILL CALL ME BACK. I PURCHASED MY CAR AT THIS DEALERSHIP AND I FEEL THIS WAS A HUGE MISTAKE. PLEASE ASSIST IN THIS MATTER.

I PURCHASE A NEW 2013 CAMARO FOR SON EARLIER THIS YEAR. THIS CAR HAS FEWER THAN 15K MILES AND EARLIER THIS MONTH MY SON WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AND ON THE STEERING WHEEL RETURNING BACK TO CENTER, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED THEN HE HEARD A SNAP WHICH RESULTED IN HIM HITTING THE CURB. THE SNAPPING SOUND WAS PROBABLY THE SOUND OF THE RIGHT CONTROL ARM SNAPPING IN HALF AND THE BENDING OF THE TIE ROD. I FILED A CLAIM WITH GM AND THEY DECLINED ALL CLAIMS EVEN WITH THE MANY RECALLS ON GM CARS INCLUDING THE CAMARO HAVING STEERING WHEEL LOCKING ISSUES. I COULD HAVE LOST MY SON AND I'M SIMPLY ASKING THAT GM COVER THE REPAIRS. THIS HAS BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTING AND STRESSFULLY ON MY FAMILY. *JS

Hello, My name is Sharris Bridges, I’m the owner of a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro. I currently can’t defrost my car and can’t see the road because I have no heat. The Chevrolet Camaro has a issue with the blend door (temperature control door). It’s a piece of plastic that breaks which causes you not to have any heat. I was told by the dealership I would’ve to get the dash and windshield taken out just to get the blend door fixed. The bill they showed me was $20+ (majority in labor) for a issue that plenty people are having with the Camaro. This should be a recall! I’ve no heat, I can’t defrost my car, and more. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K0jajaoc-ro https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s0gakV_mGiY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Py-2ukNVAGs https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tL3CaKzVKm4 Consumer stated they’ll need to take out the windshield and dash to get to the area which needs fixing.
