2010 Chevrolet Camaro

I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. IN ADDITION TO THE VEHICLE LOSING POWER, REDUCED SPEED VEHICLE DROPPED FROM 60 MPH TO 25MPH. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE VEHICLES COMPUTER HAD 5 ERROR MESSAGES & JUST NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE SECOND TIME OCCURRED A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER. I ADDRESSED THE MANUFACTURER & DEALERSHIP MANAGER...THEY SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THEY RESET THE COMPUTER AGAIN, AFTER THE 3RD INCIDENT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT THE DEALERSHIP PROVIDED ME A RENTAL & THOROUGHLY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO MAKING A GRINDING NOISE BETWEEN 20-30MPH BETWEEN 2ND & 3RD GEAR. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED BY AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALERSHIP SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THIS TIME THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS THE MAIN CULPRIT, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST ENTIRELY VOID OF OIL....THIS WAS IN BETWEEN THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE INTERVAL- APPRX HAD DRIVEN IN 4700 MILES THE GRINDING NOISE WAS SAID TO BE DUE TO LACK OF OIL BUT NO OIL LEAK WAS DETECTED. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE IN SEVERAL AUTO FORUMS & DISCOVERED THAT THE HIGH OUTPUT 3.6 LITER V6 ENGINES HAD A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR BURNING OIL & CAUSING THE ENGINE TO WEAR & BREAKDOWN PREMATURELY. DEALER ADVISED ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN EVERY 1000 MILES TO CHECK HOW QUICKLY THE OIL WAS BURNING IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THEY CONFIRMED THAT IF INDEED IT WAS BURNING OIL THEY WOULD REPLACE THE ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS, LOSS OF POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MULTIPLE TIMES IS VERY ALARMING & WAS NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY GM CUSTOMER SUPPORT - DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR WAS MORE HELPFUL THAN THE MANAGER. *JS

A ELECTRICAL FUSE SHORT HAS CAUSED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TO NO LONGER ACTIVATE/ TURN ON WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. THUS, WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT, THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. BOTH THE FUSE AND THE MODULE ARE REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED. NO DAMAGE OR CHANGE WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE TO CAUSE THE SHORTAGE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR MAT WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS A WEEKEND SO THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED. THE NEXT MORNING I STARTED LOOKING UP RECALLS ON MY CAR. THE RESULT WAS NO RECALLS ON MY CAR BUT I FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE I'M HAVING. I TOOK MY CONCERN TO THE CHEVY DEALER THEY DIAGNOSED MY CAR WITH A FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT THE COST WAS $800 TO REPLACE I IMMEDIATELY CALLED GM DIRECTLY AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERN. AFTER TWO DAY AND MANY PHONE CALLS TO THE MAN AT GM THAT WAS HANDLING MY CASE THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. THIS IS FAULTY PRODUCT THAT IS PUT IN VEHICLES THAT WE THE CONSUMERS ARE DRIVING OUR FAMILIES AROUND IN. GM NEEDS TO GET ON THE BALL , RECALL THESE FAULTY PARTS BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY. MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DOES NOT WORK SO I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH A PASSENGER. I AM COMPLETELY DISGUSTED WITH THE SERVICE AND THE PRODUCT GM PRODUCES. *TR

THIS CAMARO HAS BEEN IN OUR FAMILY SINCE AUGUST 2011, AS A DAILY DRIVER FOR MY WIFE, PURCHASED FROM A GM CERTIFIED USED DEALER. LEAVING THE PARKING LOT FROM A TRIP TO WALMART TODAY, NOT EVEN GOING 10MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN STATING "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED", WITH BOTH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND THE STABILITY TRAC LIGHT ON. WE WERE ABLE TO LIMP HOME UNDER 40MPH. NOTHING IS NOTICEABLY WRONG, BUT NOW THE CAR RUNS ON A ROUGH IDLE, IT'S SITTING STATIONARY FOR NOW. DOING RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH LS3'S, MOSTLY HAVING TO DO WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ITSELF OR ACCOMPANYING SENSORS. I'M GOING TO CHANGE TO THROTTLE BODY AND GO FROM THERE. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT WHY ISN'T THIS PROBLEM A RECALL WORTHY ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH 2010 CAMARO'S, AND MANY OTHER GM VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR WITH A V8 ENGINE NOT NECESSARILY THE LS3. WHY DOES IT TAKE LOSS OF LIFE FOR GM TO FIX A MAJOR CONSISTENT PROBLEM. I AM REALLY LOSING FAITH IN THIS COMPANY AND IT'S PRODUCTS. OUR 2010 CAMARO SS SHOULD NOT BE THE VEHICLE SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY BROKEN DOWN OVER A 2001 CAMARO SS AND A 2002 S10 TRUCK. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE QUALITY OF GM VEHICLES THESE DAYS? IF THEY STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT, THEN THEY NEED OWN UP TO ITS SHORTCOMINGS. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I WAS OUT AND WAITING TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE AND THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN, WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND AFTER THE FACT THAT IT SHUT DOWN IT GAVE A MESSAGE OF "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". HE CONTINUOUSLY TRIED TO START THE CAR BACK UP WITH NO LUCK. WE CONTACTED ONSTAR WHO STATED THAT THE CAR NEEDED TO BE ON FOR THEM TO GIVE A DIAGNOSTICS. WE WAITED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND THE CAR STARTED BACK UP BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THEY DID THIS AND THAT. KEEP IN MIND THE CAR IS RARELY DRIVEN, AND TWO DAYS AFTER WE RECEIVED THE CAR BACK IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. BACK TO THE SHOP IT WENT, AGAIN THEY TOLD US DIFFERENT THINGS WERE DONE TO THE CAR. TO KEEP A LONG STORY SHORT THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP 4 TIMES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE MOVING WITH TRAFFIC AND IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I FOUND THIS TO BE VERY DISTURBING BECAUSE IF A 18-WHEELER OR ANOTHER CAR WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO KNOCK THE CAR OFF THE INTERSTATE, I PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE MAKING THIS COMPLAINT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN IN MY LIFE A CAR THAT GIVES NO WARNING UNTIL IT IS OFF AND WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IN THE MIDST OF TRAFFIC. THE CAR IS A NICE CAR ON THE OUTSIDE BUT UNDER THE HOOD IT IS HORRIBLE. AS I TYPE THIS COMPLAINT THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN WITH DIFFERENT EXCUSES. I HOPE THEY CAN GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I WOULD REALLY HATE FOR THERE TO BE ANY MORE FATALITIES REPORTED ESPECIALLY MINE OR ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS. I JUST WANT THE PROBLEM TO BE CORRECTED AND NOT ANYMORE RUNNING AROUND ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I AM ON MY LAST LEG OF HAVING ANY FAITH IN GM. *TR
