ON FRI, 26 AUGUST 2016, AT A STOP, MY CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO ANY GEAR (IT IS A 6 SPEED MANUAL). I ALMOST GOT HIT. A COP & A GOOD SAMARITAN STOPPED & FORCED THE GEAR IN 1ST AS DEALERSHIP & GM WEREN'T HELPFUL OVER THE PHONE. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO FLOW. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR A WEEK & SAID THEY DID A FULL CHECK & EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. GM WAS CONTACTED BUT NOTHING WAS DONE TO FIX IT. ON SAT, 24 SEPTEMBER AT NIGHT IN A PARKING GARAGE, I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WHEN I WENT TO PUT MY CAR INTO FIRST GEAR TO PARK, AGAIN IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. I RECORDED A VIDEO OF MY FRIEND HAVING TO FORCE IT INTO GEAR AS THE GOOD SAMARITAN DID WEEKS BEFORE. ANYONE WHO VIEWS THE VIDEO CAN SEE HOW THE CAR WON'T GO IN GEAR & CAN HEAR THE NOISE IT MAKES (AS IT DID THE IN THE AUGUST SCENARIO). I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN THAT MON. CAR WAS KEPT FOR A WEEK. THEY CONTACTED GM & GM SAID THE SAME THING HAD BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHER 2016 CAMAROS & THE SOLUTION WAS TO FLUSH OUT OR "BLEED" SOME FLUID IN THE CLUTCH. I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT I KNEW THIS WOULDN'T WORK. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO SUSPICIOUS. JUST 3 WEEKS BEFORE, GM SUPPOSEDLY HAD NO SOLUTIONS & ACTED LIKE MY CAR WAS THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS. FRI , 30 SEPT, CAR WAS RETURNED. ON SAT MORNING 1 OCT, THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AT A DRIVE THRU & 2 EMPLOYEES HAD TO PUSH ME IN THE PARKING LOT. NEW MANAGER SAYS THEY'LL DRIVE THE CAR TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS TO THEM & ALSO CAN TRY "ONE MORE THING".THE CAR HAS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTER DEFECT THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD.I CALLED GM FOR ASSISTANCE & THEY ATTTEMPTED TO CONTACT FLOW FOR MORE INFO & AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES ,RETURNED & SAID THAT THEY HAD NOT BEEN TRANSFERRED TO SERVICE & WAS TOLD FLOW SERVICE WAS"TOO BUSY" TO TALK BECAUSE THEY WERE GETTING OFF IN AN HOUR. GM NEEDS TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY & TAKE THE TRANSMISSION APART OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE. IT'S IN THE SHOP FOR THE 3RD TIME IN 4 WEEKS.

THE CARS PUSH BUTTON START IS NOT WORKIMG TO START THE CAR, INTERMITTANT. THE CAR SHUTS OFF IN TRAFFIC. THE CARS NEGITIVE BATTERY CABLE, IGNITION SWITCH, WERE REPAIRED BUT THE CAR S HESITANT TO START AGAIN. THE ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO DIE AGAIN WHIKE DRIVING.

2016 CAMARO 2LT RS WOULD NOT START 11.23.2017. AFTER CHECKING THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT, WATER WAS FOUND BELOW THE TRUNK DECK LID. DRIED THE AREA OUT AND WAS ABLE TO JUMP START VEHICLE. DROVE 29 MILES AND AS I NEARED MY DESTINATION, YOU COULD SMELL SMOKE. OPENED UP THE TRUNK AND FOUND SMOKE PLUS MELTED AND SINGED FUSES THAT POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. VEHICLE TOWED TO CAPITAL AUTO GROUP 11.24.17. ADVISED DEALER THAT WE WOULD ESCALATE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS, BUT AUTHORIZED REPAIRS. DEALERSHIP LATER SAID THEY REVIEWED WITH GM AND IT DID NOT QUALIFY FOR GM CUSTOMER GOODWILL PROGRAM. THEY REPAIRED THE WIRING AND THEN CONCLUDED THAT THE WATER LEAK WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE TRUNK SEAL. REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED 12.26.2017. ASKED THE MANAGER TO RETURN OUR CALL, WHICH NEVER HAPPENED. ON 1.30.2018, WE CALLED GM AND OPENED A CASE WITH THEM. GM ADVISED THAT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT FOLLOW PROTOCOL AND GM HAS NO RECORD OF THE DEALERSHIP NOTIFYING THEM THE VEHICLE FUSES WERE MELTED. ON 3.7.2018, CHECKED STATUS OF CLAIM WITH GM AND FOUND THAT THEY CLOSED THE CASE. THEY STATED THAT WHEN THEY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE TOLD THE REPAIRS HAD BEEN COMPLETED, SO NO FURTHER INVESTIGATION WOULD WAS NEEDED. I ASKED MORE THAN ONCE IF THEY WERE NOT CONCERNED WITH VEHICLE SAFETY AND CARS POTENTIALLY CATCHING FIRE. THEY STATED THAT THE REPAIRS HAD BEEN COMPLETED AND THEY WERE NOT INVESTIGATING FURTHER, EVEN THOUGH CAPITOL AUTO GROUP DID NOT FOLLOW GM PROTOCOL ON A SAFETY ISSUE. I EVEN STATED 'SO YOU ARE GOING TO WAIT FOR VEHICLES TO CATCH FIRE BEFORE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR GM' AND RECEIVED THE SAME RESPONSE. I LET THEM KNOW THAT A CLAIM WOULD BE FILED WITH NHTSA SO THIS COULD BE INVESTIGATED. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED 01.19.16 AND WAS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD WHEN THIS OCCURRED. CUSTOMER RETAINED MELTED FUSES, PHOTOS DEALERSHIP PROVIDED AND THE REPAIR RECEIPTS.

THE TRANSMISSION FAILS. THE CAR SHUTS OFF IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING OR WITHOUT CODES SOMETIMES IN A PARKIMG LOT AND SOMETIMES ON THE HIGHWAY. WONT START AND SOMETIMES WONT SHUT OFF. THE TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON AND SLOWS THE CAR TO 35MPH ON DRY PAVEMENT. THERE IS A CLUNK WHEN SHIFTING OR DRIVING UNDER THE CAR.

COMING FROM BEHIND THE REAR SEAT ARE TWO DISTINCT SOUNDS - ONE IS A CRACKING/BUZZING THAT IS NOT AN AUDIO NOISE. IT IS A LOOSE PANEL, OR A RESULT OF THE REAR PANEL RUBBING UP AGAINST THE REAR WINDOW. THE SECOND SOUND IS A QUIET AND CONSISTENT SOUND COMING FROM INSIDE THE TRUNK. IT CAN BE HEARD IF GOING OVER 20 MPH AND DOES NOT STOP. I HAVE HAD A DEALER LOOK AT THIS ISSUE 4 TIMES, AND THEY CANNOT RESOLVE IT.

HAVING BRAKE PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH I DON'T EVEN HAVE 20,000 MILES ON THIS CAR YET. I HAVE HAD TO HAD 2 AILMENTS WITHIN THE LAST 9 MONTHS. *TR

1/31/2017

WHILE PULLING THROUGH A FAST FOOD DRIVE-THRU, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND "BRAKE ASSIST" ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS RESULTED IN REDUCED BRAKING WITH THE ABS MODULE PULSATING. ONCE AT A COMPLETE A STOP THE BRAKES WERE STILL APPLIED ALTHOUGH MY FOOT WAS NOT PRESSING THE BRAKES. GIVING THE VEHICLE GAS LET THE BRAKES RELEASE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND IT WAS DRIVEN DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE LIGHT ON. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR WEEKS AND I'M BEING TOLD IT WILL BE ANOTHER 60-90DAYS BEFORE GM HAS A NEW PROGRAM TO FIX THE ISSUE.

2/6/2017

THERE IS A CONTINUED BEHAVIOR OF THE FRONT WINDOW FOGGING UP, NEARLY COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTING MY ABILITY TO SEE OUT OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY IN THE EARLY MORNINGS IN HIGH HUMIDITY SITUATIONS.

2/8/2017

FRONT WINDSHIELD FOGGING UP. IS SPECIALLY SCARY WHEN THE SUN IS IN YOUR FACE AND THE WINDSHIELD IS FOGGY MAKES THE EFFECT 10 TIMES WORSE TO THE POINT I CANT SEE. HAPPENS DURING HUMID AND WARM DAYS SO PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE IN THE SOUTH IS DOOMED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED AND THE GLASS SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TIPOTEX CHEVROLET (1600 N. EXPRESSWAY 77/83, BROWNSVILLE, TX 78521), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

THERE IS AN THICK AND STIFF ELECTRICAL CABLE THAT LOOPS VERY LOW IN FRONT OF THE TOP OF THE CLUTCH PEDAL. THE TOP OF MY FOOT EASILY CATCHES ON THIS CABLE WITH MY HEEL FULLY ON FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PREVENTED ME FROM FULLY COMPRESSING THE CLUTCH CAUSING MY CAR TO STALL IN CROSS TRAFFIC.

'INCIDENT #1: ON JUNE 15, 2018, AFTER MAKING MY NORMAL COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK, I ARRIVED HOME. LATER THAT EVENING, WHEN I TRIED TO START MY CAR, I WAS NOT ABLE TO START IT AT ALL. I WAS UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE ISSUE WAS THE STARTER - AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT NEED TO BE OF CONCERN TO A NEW CAR OWNER. WHILE I WAS PROVIDED WITH A LOANER CAR, I WAS HIGHLY INCONVENIENCED DURING MY FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND. 'INCIDENT #2: WHILE DRIVING CAR TO AN APPOINTMENT ON THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 2018, THE GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK AND I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. I REPEATEDLY TRIED TO APPLY BRAKES BUT THIS DID NOT WORK. TO AVOID CRASHING, RISKING MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THE OTHER ROAD USERS, I HAD TO MAKE A QUICK DECISION. THIS DECISION WAS FOR ME TO KICK THE GAS PEDAL TO BREAK IT. IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A SAFE LOCATION, I LITERALLY HAD TO USE AN UMBRELLA IN PLACE OF THE GAS PEDAL TO GIVE POWER TO THE CAR.

The blind spot warning system stopped working, and yes it is available for inspection upon request. I have heard this leads to further electrical problems and am worried this may compromise my safety if not dealt with. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer. The component has not been inspected. There was a warning that popped up stating “service side detection system” that appeared randomly on my drive home the other day. I had not hit anything or done anything to the car that might have caused this. After a couple of rain storms, it appears that this is directly related to water intrusion.

Around 3/2/2021 I received a dash warning light for the electronic parking brake indicating some form of malfunction. The electronic parking brake began to stay on once set and when I would accelerate a bit, it would release. Thereafter the rear brakes and calipers completely locked up while sitting in my garage and would not move. I had to have it towed out of my garage and to a Chevrolet dealership for repair. The Chevrolet dealer repaired it after approximately one week or more and five or six days later the indicator light returned stating electronic parking brake malfunction so I took it back to the Chevrolet dealership and they repaired again. I had also contacted the dealership I purchased from in Tennessee and made them aware of the problem and they agreed to pay for the repair because my warranty did not cover this repair because it happened to be from prior damage to the car before i purchased it. After speaking in great detail with the Chevrolet dealer, it was explained to me that this is beyond repair at this point if I were to have any further issues with this and strongly recommended having this replaced and that it is currently unsafe considering this could happen again including while I am driving and could result in to an accident and possible injury to myself and others. I then hired an attorney to dispute this with the dealership I purchased from and they on many occasions declined any compensation for this. It is very pricy and the salesperson had told me at one point the car tire had had a blowout and defected a wiring issue with the electronic parking brake and that the switch had been replaced and that the side indicator lights were not working off and on. He assured me that this had been fixed, meaning it only needed a switch. The whole Body Wiring Harness was very badly effected and there are currently seventeen wires that are not secure in which control a lot of the car. I did also retrieve the service records.

The contact's grandson owned a 2016 Chevrolet Camero. While the grandson was driving at approximately 40 MPH, smoke suddenly was present coming from under the front hood of the vehicle. The vehicle was immediately parked and moments later flames and smoke streamed from the engine compartment and the vehicle exploded. The fire department was called to the scene and extinguished the flames. During the incident, the grandson sustained burns and blisters to both feet and fringed hair and facial hairs which did not require medical treatment. Also, items of clothing were burned. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 85,000.
