2011 Chevrolet Camaro

78000 MILES, TIMING CHAIN ISSUE, SPUN ROD BEARINGS, AND LOW COMPRESSION IN THE ENGINE. OIL AND MAINTENANCE DONE ON A REGULAR BASIS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT GO ON, NO WARNING SIGNS, AND DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF, KEPT RUNNING. I WAS GOING 40 MILES PER HOURS ON A HIGHWAY, WAS DRIVING AND STARTED HEARING THE ENGINE SOUND LIKE A TRACTOR TRAILER, HEARING BANGS EVERY 3/4 OF A SECOND. HEARING MULTIPLE REPORTS ON CAMARO FORUMS ABOUT THIS, AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE, CHEVY SAID IT IS AN OWNER ISSUE, I NEEDED TO GET MY ENTIRE ENGINE REPLACED BECAUSE OF IT. THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR 78,000 MILES ON A CAR, BUT I GUESS THAT IS WHY THEY BROUGHT THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY DOWN ABOUT THE SAME TIME PEOPLE STARTED REPORTING THESE ISSUES. CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY AND THEY SAID THEIR WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT BUT MAKE A REPORT ABOUT IT, AND IF THEY EVER COME AROUND TO A RECALL THEY WILL PAY ME BACK THE COST OF THE PRIOR REPAIR.

I WENT OUT TO MY DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED OIL I NEVER DRIVE THIS CAR HARD IT IS BABIES AS WE SHOW IT SO I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY OF US DRIVING 2010 TO 2012 V6 CAMARO HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER HOUSING WERE THE HOUSING MEETS THE BLOCK THE SEAL IS DETERIORATING AND GUSHING OIL OUT I LOST A QUARTER OF OIL IN LESS THAN 500 MILES OTHERS HAVE SEIZED THERE ENGINES MY CONCERN IS WHAT IF WE ARE CRUISING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE ENGINE SEIZES IT COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH I HAVE FOUND MANY OF US COMPLAINING ON DIFFERENT FORUMS ABOUT THE OIL ISSUE

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO WITH A 3.6 ENGINE. THE TIMING CHAINS ON THIS MOTOR ARE KNOWN TO STRETCH WHICH MESSES UP THE EMISSIONS AMONG OTHER THINGS. THE SAME ENGINE IS IN A SATURN, GMC ACADIA, AND SOME CADILLACS. THESE THREE VEHICLES ARE COVERED BY THE RECALL BUT THE CAMARO IS NOT EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ENGINE. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT MY NEXT STEP SHOULD BE. THE CAR HAS 80,000 MILES. ANY INFORMATION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY CAMARO WITH 68K ON IT, RECENTLY THE HEATER CORE WENT OUT AND I THINK IT IS TO SOON FOR THE HEATER CORE TO GO OUT. A RECALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THE HEATER CORE AS THE HOT FLUIDS FROM THE LEAK CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE CHEVY WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE WINDSHIELD TO GET TO IT. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $1700 TO FIX AND AN ADDITIONAL $400 IF THE WINDSHIELD BREAKS WHICH IS UP-SURD! *TR
