2010 Chevrolet Camaro

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 70 MPH WHEN DRIVER'S SIDE HEATED SEAT BURNED THROUGH HER RIGHT LEG. THE HEATED SEAT WAS IN USE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE IT FAILED. THE SEAT CAUSED BLISTERS TO THE CONTACT'S LEG THAT WERE TREATED BY THE CONTACT HERSELF. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

I PURCHASED MY 2010 CHEVY CAMARO 2SS, IN FEBRUARY OF 2012. IT HAD 4,400 MILES ON IT. ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO, AFTER I BOUGHT IT, IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME, ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, WHILE DOING 65 MPH. I THREW IT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNED THE KEY AND IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER THAT, I WAS DOING ABOUT 20MPH ON A BACK ROAD AND IT DID THE SAME EXACT THING. JUST RECENTLY, ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, I WAS IN 6TH GEAR, ON CRUISE DOING 60MPH AND I FELT THE CAR "JERK" OR BUCK" A LITTLE BIT. FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY THE CAR DECELERATING. I DOWN-SHIFTED TO 4TH GEAR AND WAS GIVING IT GAS, BUT STILL WOULDN'T SPEED UP. IT FELL DOWN TO ABOUT 40MPH, BEFORE FINALLY CATCHING ITSELF AND SPEEDING BACK UP. ABOUT A MILE LATER, I GOT OFF MY EXIT AND WAS COMING DOWN TO THE STOP SIGN,WHEN ALL THE INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS. THEY WENT OFF AND I MADE A LEFT HAND TURN AND WENT ABOUT A MILE UP THE ROAD. AT THAT POINT, THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF DOING ABOUT 35MPH. THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC, SO I PULLED OVER AND STARTED IT BACK UP. I CALLED THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP, WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM, AND THEY HAD NO OPENINGS FOR A WEEK. SO I TOOK IT LAST WEEK TO GET IT CHECKED AND THEY FOUND NOTHING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT, THEY SAY. I AM VERY UPSET, BUT VERY THANKFUL THAT MY TWO CHILDREN WERE NOT WITH ME WHEN IT HAPPENED. I AM CURRENTLY CONTEMPLATING TRADING IT IN, CUZ I AM WORRIED THAT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN,AND MY CHILDREN ARE IN THE CAR, THAT IT MIGHT SHUT OFF IN VERY CONGESTED BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC, ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT, AND A TRACTOR TRAILER IS BEHIND ME AND I CAN'T GET IT STARTED OR SOMEONE DOESN'T SEE ME CUZ MY LIGHTS WOULD BE OFF. THE THOUGHT OF THAT COMPLETELY SCARES ME. *TR

MY 2010 CHEVY CAMARO 2LT IN 37,000 MILES THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE CALIPER GOT STUCK AND ATE UP MY ROTOR AND PAD. IN 40,000 MILES IT BROKE A VALVE SPRING. EVER SINCE THEY SAY THEY FIXED IT, IT STILL RUNS LIKE CRAP LOSS OF POWER, AND STILL MISSES BUT DEALER SAYS ITS FINE AND FROM DAY ONE EVERYTIME I GO OVER A BUMP AT ANY SPEED IT SOUNDS LIKE GLASS IS SHATTERING AND IT COMES FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION. ITS SAD THAT MY 1995 CHEVY PICKUP WITH OVER 300,000 MILES WITH ALL STOCK PARTS STILL RUNS BETTER THAN MY CAMARO. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE, IE, OIL CHANGE, TIRE ROTATION, AIR FILTER REPLACEMENT. I WAS INFORMED THAT MY TIRES, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD PLENTY OF TREAD LIFE LEFT ON THEM, 6/32 FRONT, 5/32 REAR, THAT THEY WERE DRY ROTTED AND SEPARATED BETWEEN THE TREADS. ALSO WAS INFORMED THAT THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS, THE TIRES MAY COME APART WHILE DRIVING. I WAS INFORMED BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT THIS WAS A DEFECT IN THE TIRES. IN ADDITION, THE TIRES WERE PUT ON A 2010 CAMARO AND THE MANUFACTURES DATE ON ALL 4 TIRES ARE FROM 2008. I KNOW EVENTUALLY I WOULD HAVE TO BUY NEW TIRES, BUT IF THE TIRES WEREN'T IN THE CONDITION THEY ARE IN I MORE THAN LIKELY COULD GET ANOTHER 30,000 MILES OUT OF THEM. MOST IMPORTANTLY IS THE SAFETY HAZARD OF THE TIRES. LOOKING THROUGH THE REPORTS ON THIS PARTICULAR TIRE, I SAW SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. *TR

CAR WILL NOT GO INTO FIRST OR REVERSE. SHIFTS FINE IN OTHER GEARS AND WHEN CAR TURNED OFF. TOOK TO DEALER WHO SAID CLUTCH WAS WORN AT 50,000 MILES BECAUSE I WAS TOO HARD ON IT? I DON'T RACE, HOT ROD ETC, THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT A V6 MANUAL FOR DURABILITY. AM ONLY OWNER ONLY DRIVER. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE AND TO HAVE A CLUTCH GO BAD AT 50,000 MILES IS PRE-MATURE AND UNACCEPTABLE AND COSTING $1700.00 GM IS THE ONLY ONES MAKING CLUTCH SO I WAS FORCED TO GO TO DEALER AND PAY FOR REPAIRS FOR A FACTORY ISSUE THAT CAUSED EARLY CLUTCH BURN OUT AND FALSE "OK" DIAGNOSTIC ON TRANSMISSION. TURNS OUT ALOT OF OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND ITS COSTING US $$$. ANY MECHANIC DRIVING THIS CAR SAID "THIS IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, NOT A CLUTCH". A CAR NOT GOING INTO GEAR IS NOT THE CLUTCH. THERE WAS NO GRINDING OF GEARS, IT JUST WOULDN'T GO DESPITE FORCE AND CLUTCH PUSHED ALL THE WAY IN NUMEROUS TIMES. *TR

FRONT SUSPENSION IS VERY CLUNKY GOING OVER MODERATE BUMPS. WHEN THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS REBOUNDING ONTO A LOWER SURFACE IS BANGS HARD. I HAVE PASSENGERS THAT HAVE ASKED, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR CAR?" UPON HEARING IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. DEALERS RESPONSE IS ALL IS FINE, WE DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS. I TOLD THEM IT HAS SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING WITH IT IS DEFINITELY NOT NORMAL. *TR

BOLTS ON THE DRIVE SHAFT ARE DEFECTIVE AND BREAKING OFF THE DRIVE SHAFT. CAR BEGINS TO VIBRATE HEAVILY ON STICK SHIFT AND STEERING WHEEL. IT IS ALSO REPRESENTED AND EQUALLY EXPLAINED ON OTHER WEB PAGES REGARDING THE CHEVROLET, CAMARO PRODUCTS, SAME YEAR OR NEWER. AFTER INSPECTION TWO OF THREE NUTS AND BOLTS EITHER BROKE OFF OR CAME OFF, LEAVING ONE BOLT TO CONTROL THE TORQ AND HORSE POWER TRAVELING DOWN THE DRIVE SHAFT. VEHICLE WAS HARD TO MANEUVER AND CLEAR OFF THE ROAD TO A SAFE LOCATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS TRAVELING OVER A TWO MILE STRETCH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND RAPIDLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 110 MPH AND PROCEEDED TO TRAVEL THROUGH A FOUR-WAY STOP SIGN. THE DRIVER THEN ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE BECAME ERRATICALLY UNCONTROLLABLE. THE VEHICLE THEN TRAVELED OVER A CURB AND CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF A RESIDENCE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER WAS KILLED IN THE IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED FOR THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
