2010 Chevrolet Camaro

TPMS SYSTEM AND REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY FAILS TO OPERATE CORRECTLY AFTER INSTALLING NEW TIRES. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM EVEN WITH A CHANGE TO THE KEYLESS ENTRY MODULE. GM REPORTS THAT SOME TIRES HAVE TOO MUCH STEEL IN THE BELTS CAUSING THE SIGNALS TO BE BLOCKED OR BE INTERMITTENT WHICH CAN CAUSE DRIVERS TO DRIVE ON UNDER INFLATED TIRES. FAILURE OCCURS IN ANY TYPE OF DRIVING. GM NEEDS TO REPLACE THE SENSORS WITH ONES THAT PROVIDE A STRONGER SIGNAL TO COMPLY WITH THE TREAD ACT.

THE TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED AND IS FAILING. DEALER ADMITS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT OTHER MODEL CARS WITH SAME ENGINE HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENTS. ALTHOUGH IT'S A KNOW ISSUE DEALER IS CHARGING $2000 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TIMING CHAIN WITH THE ONE CHEVROLET SWITCH TO IN THE NEXT MODEL YEAR CAMARO AS THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. *TR

MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION IN HER 2010 CHEVY CAMARO. THIS VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A KEY FOB RECALL AND THE RECALL WAS NOT DONE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING N/B ON HY 99 THROUGHT ACAMPO CA AND APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. IT WAS RAINING. THE CAR POSSIBLY HYDROPLANED IN THE RAIN BUT THEN SHE LOST ALL STEERING, BRAKES AND POWER AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT THE CAR LEFT THE ROADWAY AND THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT FRONT END IMPACT WHEN THE FRONT OF THE CAR HIT A DRAINAGE DITCH. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A UNCONTROLLED SPIN AND CAME TO REST BACK IN THE #2 LANE OF N/B HY 99. THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING WHEN THE CAR STOPPED. MY WIFE DID HAVE SEVERAL KEYS ON HER KEY RING. WE BELIEVE THAT SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE HAD THE FLAWED KEY FOB NOT SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. THERE WAS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH FRONT END IMPACT THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IF THE CAR WERE RUNNING WHEN THE COLLISION OCCURRED. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I EXPLAINED THE KEY FOB ISSUE TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE CHP OFFICER WHO TOOK THE ORIGINAL REPORT. NEITHER RESEARCHED THIS AND THEY DID NOT BELIEVE THIS FLAW COULD HAVE BEEN THE PRIMARY FACTOR IN THIS COLLISION. MY WIFE'S INJURIES WERE MINOR. WE ARE AT A LOSS AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. MOST ATTORNEYS WILL NOT TAKE THIS CASE BECAUSE THE INJURIES WERE MINOR. I TRUELY BELIEVE THIS CRASH WAS CAUSED BY THE FAULTY KEY FOB AND I DO NOT THINK THE INSURANCE OR THE CHP SHOULD HOLD MY WIFE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I WILL ATTACH PHOTOS OF OUR CAR SHOWING THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BUT DIDN'T. I CAN GET COPIES OF THE POLICE REPORT AND THE LETTERS I SENT TO MY INSURANCE AND THE CHP. CHP'S RESPONSE WAS THAT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR SHUT OFF, IT COULDN'T HAVE CAUSED THIS COLLISION. LIKE I SAID THEY DID NOT LOOK INTO THIS. ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

I RECENTLY NOTICED A HAIRLINE CRACK ON MY DASHBOARD AND BELIEVED IT WAS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. REQUESTED A COMPANY TO REPAIR CRACK, BUT REPRESENTATIVE UNABLE TO REPAIR CRACK DUE TO LOCATION BEING ABOVE THE AIRBAG. UPON FUTURE INVESTIGATION I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT OTHER CAMARO OWNERS HAVE SAME HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE EXACT LOCATION ON THEIR DASHBOARDS. FOR THE CRACK TO OCCUR IN THE SAME LOCATION ON DIFFERENT VEHICLES LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DASHBOARD. THE CRACK IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND I FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY DUE TO THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT BECOMING COMPROMISED.

THE IMAGE YOU SEE IS AN EXAMPLE OF AN AIRBAG THAT A LADY SUFFERED FROM YOUR RECENT RECALLED AIRBAG TAMARA. I HAVE SIMILAR EVIDENCE IN THE SAME EXACT AND LENGTH AND WIDTH CUT AS SHE DOES... I WAS A PASSENGER IN THIS CAR THAT BECOME OUT OF CONTROL, ALSO AN IGNITION RECALL WAS PROVEN TO HURT PEOPLE IN THE 2010 CAMARO. I WASN'T THE DRIVE SO ALL I KNOW IS DRIVER LOST CONTROL AN RAN ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD INTO THE GRASS, FLUSH GROUND, INBETWEN A FENCE AND THE ROAD HAD 100-200 FT TO BRAKE AND TURN THE CAR BACK ON THE ROAD AVOIDING A COLVERT. BUT INSTEAD MAJOR MALFUNCTION.FRONTAL AIRBAGS WENT OFF AT THE WRONG TIME, ALSO EVIDENCE SHOWS AIRBAG CUT MY THROAT, ALSO SIDE AND SUNROOF AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! VEHICLE WENT AIRBORN, ALL ENDS OF VEHICLE WAS IMPACTED. NOTE. PASSENGER! NOT OWNER!

MY 2010 CHEVY CAMARO HAS ONLY 14,361 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND IS NOT SUBJECTED TO WEATHER OVER 99% OF THE TIME. A FEW MONTHS AGO I NOTICED A VERY FAINT MARK OR SCRATCH OR CRACK IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD OVER THE AIRBAG. IT IS BECOMING MORE PRONOUNCED AND NOW A SECOND CRACK IS FORMING. I CHECKED WITH MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY IN TURN CHECKED WITH A GM REP. THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY WILL REPLACE IT FOR ABOUT $1250 BUT I WILL HAVE TO PAY $800 OF THE COSTS. CONSIDERING THAT I TREAT MY CAR WITH THE UTMOST CARE AND ADDING TO THAT THE FACT THAT THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT CRACKS OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON 2010 CAMAROS, THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL.
