2010 Chevrolet Camaro

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND REPLACED A COMPONENT TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE EXACT COMPONENT HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER HOWEVER, NO FAILURE WAS DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND AN INCIDENT RECORDER WAS INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE ANY FUTURE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

I WAS WASHING MY CAR AND I NOTICED A MILKY WHITE LOOKING SPOT ON THE FRONT BUMPER. AFTER I WASHED AND DRIED THE CAR, THE SPOT WAS STILL THERE. THAT IS WHEN I KNEW IT WAS NOT A SPOT, IT LOOKS LIKE THE CLEAR COAT IS COMING OFF THE BUMPER. THEN I LOOKED AT THE REAR BUMPER AND DECK LID AND NOTICED THAT RIGHT WHERE THE FACTORY SPOILER IS ATTACHED TO THE DECK LID ON BOTH SIDES THERE ARE CHIPS OF PAINT MISSING. LOOKS LIKE THE SPOILER HAS RUBBED THE PAINT OFF. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAS CAUSED THIS, BUT I AM GOING TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND SEE IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS OR TSB REPORTS ON BOTH OF THESE ISSUES. *TR

MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER THAT MEETS THE WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS, I HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUMS OF SAME PROBLEMS AND CAN'T SEEM TO GET CHEVY TO REALIZE THIS IS A MALFUNCTION AND A SAFETY ISSUE, I THINK THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE OWNERS EXPENSE, BUT MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS IT IS. THIS POSSES A THREAT TO MY PASSENGERS AND COULD CAUSE MALFUNCTION IN ANY OF MY AIRBAGS. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 CAMARO WITH A V6. EVERY TIME I RIDE DOWN THE ROAD, I HEAR A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT ALL THEY SAY IS THEY DON'T HEAR ANYTHING. I BELONG TO A CAMARO CLUB AND 90% OF THE OTHER CAMARO'S DO THE SAME THING. WE BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE STRUTS BUT OF COURSE GM DENIES THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG. THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL BEFORE TO MANY PEOPLE GET KILLED. WE HAVE PEOPLE IN OUR CLUB THAT HAVE 2012 CAMARO'S THAT DO THE SAME THING. MINE HAS DONE IT SINCE DAY 1 BUT LIKE I SAID THE DEALER ALWAYS SAYS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. *TR

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE FIRST SHUT OFF AT A RED LIGHT FOR NO REASON ON FEB 28 2012 SAME INCIDENT ON MARCH 1ST SHUT OFF A RED LIGHT THIRD TIME IT WAS WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH MAKING A TURN IN A PARKING SPOT. WAS ABLE TO TURN BACK CAR ON WITH NO PROBLEMS BUT IT IS OF GREAT CONCERN NOW IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN AT A HIGH SPEED I AM SURE CAR CAN CAUSE INJURIES TO OTHERS AS WELL AS MYSELF. *TR
