2010 Chevrolet Camaro

DRIVING A 2010 CHEVY CAMARO, MY REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY VEHICLE WENT FROM 60 MPH TO 30 INSTANTLY ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ ON THE FORUMS AND THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO A TON OF GM CHEVY CAR OWNERS. THIS COULD CAUSE SOMEBODY TO DIE, AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. SAVE LIVES DO SOMETHING. REDUCED ENGINE POWER SERVICE STABILITRAK ( THIS WAS THE ISSUE ). *JS

I WAS GOING FOR A DRIVE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL WHEN THE ACCELERATOR STUCK. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL WAS A BUMP IN THE ROAD. AFTER HITTING THE BUMP THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. I HAD NO BRAKES AND NO STEERING. I THEN SKID OFF THE ROAD INTO A TREE. THERE WAS ONE INJURY, A LADY IN THE BACK SEAT PASSENGER SIDE HIT HER HEAD ON THE BACK OF THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. SHE HAD A HUGE GOOSE EGG ON TOP OF HER HEAD AND A BLACK EYE. *TR

TRUNK LATCH JUST STOPPED OPENING TRUNK. IT STILL MAKE THE SOUND THAT IT ALWAYS MADE BUT IT DOESN'T RELEASE THE LID. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE TRUNK IS TO PULL THE EMERGENCY TRUNK RELEASE INSIDE THE TRUNK AS THERE IS NO MANUAL KEY OPERATED RELEASE OF THE TRUNK FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUNK. MANY OTHERS HAVE VOICED THIS EXACT COMPLAINT POSTED ONLINE ON AUTOMOBILE FORUMS. ALSO REPLACING THE BULBS IN THE HEADLIGHTS SEEMS TO PRODUCE VERY POOR LIGHT FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. THE REPLACEMENT BULBS WERE 4300K HID BULBS 35W JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURERS EQUIPMENT, PURCHASED FROM A VERY RESPECTABLE PARTS SUPPLY COMPANY. *TR

I NOTICED COOLANT LEAKING INTO PASSENGER FLOORBOARD. THE CAR WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A LEAKING HEATER CORE. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER CAMARO OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE, AND DURING MY RESEARCH FOUND A GM TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS HEATER CORE FAILURE. (# PIP-5457A) THE DEALERSHIP IS WANTING TO CHARGE FOR THE NEW HEATER CORE, A WINDSHIELD AND LABOR. *TR

MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT LOOKED AT. THEY TOLD ME IT IS JUST A SENSOR AND YOU NEED TO PAY $900 FOR US TO FIX IT. I DON'T HAVE $900. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I NOTICE MY DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTING TO CRACK A BIT AND THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER A SEE MY DASH IS NOW STARTING TO BULGE AND IT HAS A OUTLINE WHERE MY AIR BAG IS. I AM TERRIFIED THAT IT IS GOING TO DEPLOY WHILE I'M DRIVING AND MY WIFE OR A CHILD IS IN THE SEAT WHEN IT BLOWS. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS BLOGS CONCERNING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAGS AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS NOT ALREADY A RECALL ISSUE. *TR
