THE MY LINK SYSTEM TEMPERATURE READINGS WERE READING 133 DEGREES WHEN THE TEMP WAS REALLY 64!I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALER SHOWED ME A TSB SAYING THAT WHEN YOU DRIVE BEHIND A CAR THE SYSTEM READS TEMPS FROM THE EXHAUST IN THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU!THEIR SOLUTION IS NOT TO DRIVE BEHIND ANYONE!GREAT JOB GM!THE DUAL MODE EXHAUST WHICH IS A $895 DOLLARS OPTION WENT AFTER 248 MILES. SOUND SO BAD LIKE AN OLD CATALYTIC CONVERTERS GUTS WENT INSIDE!PARTS HAS BEEN ON ORDER FOR 2 WEEKS AND ITS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER! ALSO STILL WAITING FOR A STEERING RACK!MY RIGHT SHOULDER WAS SEVERELY INJURED WHEN I COULD PARK IN A SPOT AND THE STEERING WHEELS PRESSURE TOOK A MIND OF ITS OWN!SEVERE PAIN! *TR

DRIVING AROUND EXIT 110 HEADING EAST ON I-94, ME AND MY WIFE WERE NEARLY RUN DOWN BY A CROSSET TRUCK DRIVER BY THE FRONT OF HIS TRUCK. BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE TRAILER WAS STILL IN THE RIGHT LANE AND THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK RAPIDLY SWERNED INTO THE LEFT LANE, I WOULD CONSIDER THE IDEA THAT HE DOZED OFF. MY WIFE SWERVED OVER AND NEARLY HIT THE RAILS ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID A TRAGEDY. AND ONCE WE CALMED DOWN, WE SLOWED WAY BACK AND PULLED OVER TO LET THE TRUCKER CATCH UP TO US. WHEN HE DID I TOOK PICTURES FROM MY PASSENGER SEAT SO THAT WE COULD IDENTIFY THE TRUCK. WHEN WE REACHED THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AT THE DRIVERS DOOR WITH ALL OF THE NECESSARY NUMBERS, THE DRIVER STOPPED LOOKING AT THE ROAD AND TURNED TO TAKE A PICTURE OF US. I AM UNSURE WHY, BUT THAT IS CLEARLY ILLEGAL TO USE YOUR PHONE OR TO FALL ASLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL. I CALLED THE COMPANY AND WAS TOLD HE IS A PROFESSIONAL SO THERE WAS NO REASON TO PULL HIM OFF THE ROAD. USDOT # 551244, BUT I HAVE PICTURES OF THE TRUCK NUMBER AND ALL ADDITIONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS.

THE STEERING WHEEL HAS MANUAL DRIVE SHIFT LEVERS ON BOTH SIDES. WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN SOMETIMES THE LEVER GETS CAUGHT ON KEYS CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE A HARD RIGHT TURN RESULTING IN MOMENTARY LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. I HAVE ALMOST DRIVEN INTO DITCHES OR OTHER OBJECTS DUE TO THIS DEFECT. ALSO, THE SHIFTER IS NOT ENGAGING PROPERLY CAUSING THE KEY TO BE GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF. IN ORDER TO GET THE KEY TO RELEASE I HAVE TO RESTART THE ENGINE, REVERSE AND PUT THE SHIFTER BACK IN THE PARK POSITION. THEN I MUST ENGAGE THE FLOOR BRAKE AND RELEASE IT UNTIL A CLICKING NOISE IS HEARD INSIDE THE SHIFTER. THE KEY WILL THEN RELEASE. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED IN OTHER MODELS OF GM VEHICLES AND PART OF A RECALL HOWEVER MY MODEL HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.

WITHIN TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR IT STALLED TWICE--BOTH WHEN STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS. I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID A ROAD TEST BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE. ON 4/9/2014 I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I RESTARTED THE CAR, DROVE TO MY OFFICE AND THE CAR STALLED WHEN TURNING INTO THE PARKING GARAGE AND AGAIN WHEN TURNING INTO THE PARKING SPACE. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY AND THEY KEPT FOR AN EXTENDED TEST DRIVE BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SINCE THERE WERE NOT ANY CODES THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME. *JS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE ENGINE STARTED TO MISFIRE, AND THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT WORK. THEN THE LIGHTS OF THE STABILITY, ENGINE, AND OTHER CONTROLS CAME ON. THIS IS AFTER ALREADY HAVING THE ISSUE WITH THE FOB AND THE CAR TURNING OFF AND NOT ABLE TO STEER OR BRAKE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW JANUARY 2014 WITH LESS THAN 10 MILES ON IT. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE IN THREE OR MORE TIMES FOR A FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE, I EXPERIENCED A RAPIDLY FLASHING ENGINE LIGHT TWO TIMES. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAID DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANYWHERE OTHER THAN TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE ENGINE MAY BLOW. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 5/29. THE DEALERSHIP "REPLACED" ALL PARTS ON THE VEHICLE INCLUDING THE FUEL LINE, FUEL INJECTORS, PISTONS, ALL FUEL INJECTORS AND THIS DID NOT HELP. THEY THEN ATTEMPTED TO EVEN OUT THE COMPRESSION IN THE CYLINDERS TO FIX THE ISSUE OF THE COMPRESSION LEAKING. THIS DID NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL HAVING COMPRESSION ISSUES. THEY FINALLY REQUESTED A REPLACEMENT ENGINE FROM GM. THE ENGINE WAS INSTALLED AND I WAS CALLED TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE AFTER 29 DAYS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I REQUESTED A BUY BACK, AS FROM WHAT THEY HAVE TOLD ME REGARDING THE CAR HAVING A DEFECT AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME. THE DEALER AND GM WEST COAST LIAISON DENIED BUY BACK DUE TO THE WARRANTY STILL BEING IN EFFECT. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE BOUGHT BACK BY THE DEALER. WE ARE PURSUING WITH THE BBB AND A LAWYER. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT COOPERATED AND WILL NOT ASSIST ANY FURTHER. THE MAIN CONCERN IS LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AS TO WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THAT BEING IT HAD 5000-6000 MILES, HOW DO WE KNOW IT WILL BE SAFE AND WILL NOT HAVE ISSUES IN THE FUTURE. *TR

1ST PROBLEM, THE LEFT SPEAKER STARTED A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE WHILE THE RADIO WAS STILL PLAYING. I HAD TO STOP THE CAR AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE TO STOP THE NOISE. 2ND PROBLEM, WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE RADIO SHUTS OFF. I CAN'T GET LOCAL STATIONS. ONLY SIRRUS STATION. NOW WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TOO HARD THE RADIO SHUTS OFF THEN COMES BACK ON. NOW WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAYS, THE DASH BOARD LIGHTSTURNS OFF BY THEM SELVES MOMENTARILY THEN TURNS BACK ON. ALSO BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS, I TURN THE RADIO OFF... AND WHILE DRIVING THE RADIO TURNS ON BY ITSELF. DRIVER-SIDE BACK -UP LIGHT WAS REPLACED VISIBILITY /WIPER NEEDS REPLACING WIPER FLUID SQUIRT DOSEN'T WORK EFFECTIVELY .. MAYBE NOZZLE IS CLOGGED D

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR MY MOM AND DAD TOOK IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND SAID THAT IT TURNED OFF BUT FAILED TO MENTION IT BECAUSE OF CARS HAVING FEATURES THAT TURN CAR OFF WHILE AT A HALT. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND IT IS HARDLY DRIVEN. 3 DAYS OF THE WEEK, AND IS BARELY AT 5000 MILES. STILL TECHNICALLY BRAND NEW. ONE DAY WHILE COMING HOME FROM WORK MY BOYFRIEND AND I NOTICED THE CAR TO BE STRUGGLING A LITTLE POWER WISE. WHEN WE CAME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT WE MADE A RIGHT TURN AND THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL. BARELY TURNING INTO OUR APARTMENT IT FINALLY TURNED OFF. TOOK A COUPLE OF TRIES BUT CAR FINALLY TURNED ON FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND THEN TURNED OFF AGAIN. FINALLY BEING ABLE TO PARK THE CAR, WE TRIED STARTING IT AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR COUPLE MINUTES AND IT DID NOT WANT TO START. WE DROVE CAR TO NEARBY DEALER LEFT IT OVERNIGHT AND THE NEXT DAY THEY SAID ABOUT 11 CODES WERE COMING UP. AFTER THAT CAR FINALLY TURNED ON ACTED NORMAL FOR A BIT SO WE WERE GIVEN CAR BACK. AFTERWARDS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO BE OFF WORK WE WERE GOING TO TAKE CAR TO ORIGINAL DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM TO GET CHECKED OUT. HALFWAY INTO THE WEEK THE CAR THEN STALLED AGAIN LUCKILY AS WE TURNED INTO WORK. MESSAGES CAME UP SUCH AS "SERVICE STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL" AS LONG AS "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". WE WERE ABLE TO PARK IT AND HAD ONSTAR RUN A DIAGNOSTICS FOR IT AND WERE TOLD THAT SEVERAL CODES POPPED WITH TRANNY, STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL, ABS BREAKS, ENGINE POWER ETC WERE ALL AFFECTED AT THE TIME. WE TOOK IT TO DEALER COUPLE HOURS LATER AND CAR WAS CHECKED OUT AND "FIXED" COUPLE DAYS LATER. TURNED OUT TO BE A SHORT IN ONE OF THE WIRES. TO THINK A SIMPLE WIRE DEFECT CAN AFFECT THE CAR TO THAT EXTENT IS SCARY! AND I'M THANKFUL THE FAULTINESS DIDN'T OCCUR IN INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

10/18/2014

NOTICED MY MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING A VERY CONCERNING AMOUNT OF FLUID , I HAPPEN TO OPENED MY HOOD TO DO A REGULAR MONTHLY INSPECTION AND NOTICED THE LEAK , IF I DIDN'T NOTICE I COULD HAVE HAD BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO LACK OF FLUID!!! THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *JS

4/30/2014

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE MAKING A SUDDEN SHARP LEFT TURN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP COMPLETELY, BRAKES COULD NO LONGER BE DEPRESSED ANY FURTHER AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. ONCE VEHICLE CAME TO FULL STOP, THE IGNITION WOULD NOT RELEASE MY KEY OR LET ME START THE CAR AFTER SHIFTING IT BACK INTO PARK. I TRIED SHIFTING OUT AND BACK INTO PARK, OPENING THE DRIVER DOOR AND CLOSING IT WITH NO FIX. AFTER 3 MINUTES, THE CAR FINALLY LET ME START THE ENGINE AND RELEASED THE WHEEL, BRAKES AND KEY. ONSTAR'S DIAGNOSTIC TEST AT TIME OF INCIDENT SHOWED NO PROBLEMS. WENT TO DEALERSHIP THAT EVENING AND CHEVY'S TECHNICIAN SAID THERE ARE NO CODES THAT PULL UP. THE TECHNICIAN AND I BOTH REENACTED THE SITUATION WITH THEIR DIAGNOSTIC LAPTOP AND COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO DO IT AGAIN AND I WAS SENT OFF WITH "NO KNOWN ISSUES FOUND". *TR

8/21/2014

AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE, MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE A ROARING SOUND AND ACCELERATED IN SPEED. I KEPT PRESSING THE BRAKES, BUT IT WOULD NOT DECLINE IN SPEED. THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND CONTINUE TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE. MY PASSENGER AND I WERE SCREAMING TO THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS AND PANICKING. WITH STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS UP AHEAD, I WAS HORRIFIED. I CONTINUOUSLY PRESSED ON THE BRAKES. MINUTES LATER THE ROARING STOPPED AND THE CAR DECREASED IN SPEED. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I IMMEDIATELY, CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. AND I BROUGHT THE CAR IN. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE ,PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES WITH CONCERNS REGARDING THE ISSUE OF SPEED CONTROL AND STRANGE SOUNDS COMING FROM THE CAR. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I HAD TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE CAR HAD DONE THIS BEFORE, THIS LAST EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN THE WORST. I FEEL THAT THEY ARE BRUSHING ME OFF. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE AND CAUSED INJURY MY PASSENGER, TO MY CHILDREN AND OTHERS. I AM ATTEMPTING TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BUT I FEEL HELPLESS. IN FEAR, I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TO SECURE A PRIMARY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. *TR

I OWN A 2014 CAMARO. ON MAY 2ND, WE WERE DRIVING OFF OF AN EXIT FROM THE INTERSTATE 270 WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN. I COULD BARELY STAR THE CAR. I HAD NO POWER AT ALL. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT ALSO SOUNDED LIKE MY ENGINE LOCKED UP. WE WERE LITERALLY ABOUT TO FREAK WORRYING WE WERE GOING TO GET REAR ENDED. LUCKILY, WE WERE ABLE TO COAST INTO AN APARTMENT COMPLEX. I COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR AND WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES UNTIL IT WOULD RESTART. I THEN TOOK THE CAR INTO A DEALERSHIP HERE TELLING THEM IT IS A DEATH TRAP. I INFORMED THEM THAT I HAVE GIVEN THEM NOTICE OF THE DANGERS DRIVING THIS CAR AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO US, I WOULD HOLD THEM LIABLE SINCE THEY HAD BEEN WARNED. HONESTLY, I AM WORRIED NOW ABOUT DRIVING THAT DEATH TRAP. *TR

5/4/2015

MADE A TURN IN RAIN GOING APPROX 10 MPH AND CAR SLID. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT, HOWEVER IT IS UTTER NONSENSE TO SELL AN AUTOMOBILE IN THE NORTHEAST WITH SUMMER TIRES ONLY AND THEN OFFER ALL WEATHER TIRES AND RIMS AS A $1000.00 AFTER MARKET OPTION. I FEEL THIS IS NOT ONLY UNSAFE BUT LETHAL TO THE DRIVER AND ALL OCCUPANTS. I BELIEVE THAT CHEVY SHOULD BE SELLING THE CAR WITH ALL WEATHER TIRES (SAFETY FIRST) AND THE SUMMER TIRES AS AN OPTION. I FEEL THAT PAYING $45,000.00 FOR A VEHICLE IT SHOULD BE SAFE. I FEEL THAT THERE WILL BE MANY ACCIDENTS TO COME AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW "DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE" TO GET THIS INVESTIGATED. I FEEL CHEVY SHOULD RECALL ALL AUTOS WITH THESE SUMMER TIRES AND REPLACE THEM WITH ALL WEATHER OR AT LEAST HAVE THE OWNER SIGH A WAIVER. *TR

AFTER THE FIRST 100 MILES OF USE I ALWAYS CHECK THE WHEEL LUG NUTS FOR PROPER TORQUE VALUE AS PER THE OWNERS MANUAL AND DID SO ON MY NEW 2014 CAMARO 2SS, PURCHASED ON 23 MAY 2014. I FOUND ALL THE WHEEL LUG NUTS WAY UNDER TORQUED AT APPROXIMATELY 80 LB FT OF TORQUE., THE 2014 CAMARO FACTORY OWNERS MANUAL THAT CAME WITH THE CAR STATED 110LB FT OF TORQUE ON EACH LUG NUT. ALSO NOTED THAT ON EACH LUG NUT THERE APPEARED TO BE A SPECIAL COATING MATERIAL ON THE MATING SURFACE OF EACH NUT. LOOKS & FEELS LIKE A TEFLON COATING. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THIS SURFACE SHOULD BE FREE OF ANY LUBRICATION SO THAT WHEN SEATED AGAINST THE WHEEL SURFACE IT WOULD BE METAL TO METAL WITH NO LUBRICATION REQUIRED. COULD THIS COATING BE AFFECTING THE WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUING DONE DURING THE WHEEL INSTALLATION AT THE GM ASSEMBLY PLANT? *TR
