2012 Chevrolet Camaro

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO CLASSIC CHEVROLET GRAPEVINE DEALERSHIP AFTER NOTICING WHILE I CHANGED MY BRAKES THE WEEK BEFORE, THERE WAS AXLE GREASE SCATTERED ALL OVER THE REAR OF MY RIM, HUB, AXLES, AND BRAKE COMPONENTS. AFTER INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THE CV BOOT HAD LET GO ON THE INSIDE SEAL NEAR THE HUB WHERE THE WHEEL MOUNTS. MY CAR IS TWO YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 42600 MILES. I HAVE ALSO HEARD FROM SEVERAL OTHER CAMARO OWNERS ON FORUMS AND IN PERSON DISCUSSIONS. FAILURE OF THE AXLE BECAUSE OF IMPROPER LUBRICATION TO THE AXLE CONNECTION CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH SHOULD THE AXLE FAIL WHILE DRIVING. CAN YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND DETERMINE IF A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THANK YOU! *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 85 MY CAR SUDDENLY LOSS POWER IT DID NOT CUT OFF COMPLETELY BUT IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS SHUTTING DOWN. IT SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ANY FASTER. LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO WORK AND TOOK THE STREET ROUTE AND MADE IT TO WORK. THE ENGINE LIGHT DID COME ON AND IT SAID IT WAS LOW ENGINE POWER. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WITHIN 3 MONTHS. I CALLED ONSTAR THE FIRST TIME AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC WHICH CAME BACK SAYING SERVICE ENGINE WITH SOME OTHER DYNAMICS I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. ONCE I GOT TO WORK AND CUT THE CAR OFF I CUT IT OFF THEN TRIED TO START IT AGAIN TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESET ITSELF BUT THIS TIME IT WOULDN'T START. CALLED CHEVY AND THEY SAID TO WAIT A COUPLE HOURS AND TRY IT AGAIN OTHERWISE I WOULD NEED TO TOW IT THERE. I WAITED TWO HOURS THEN CHECKED AND IT CRANKED RIGHT UP AND ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF, CALLED CHEVY BACK AND THEY SAID IT PROBABLY WAS JUST COMPUTER PROBLEMS. NOW THIS IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR THREE DAYS. BUT AGAIN IT WENT AWAY AFTER THAT. I'M STARTING TO THINK THAT ITS JUST SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE AND NEXT TIME I WONT BE SO LUCKY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD, THE AIR BAG CURTAINS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED. I WAS NOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT, I WAS NOT TURNING ANY CORNERS, I DID NOT HIT A BUMP, NOTHING. I WAS ONLY DRIVING DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE PLACE OF PURCHASE (JOHN L SULLIVAN IN ROSEVILLE, CA) BECAUSE IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN THE SERVICE TECH CALLS ME BACK, THEY ADVISE THAT THEY ARE GETTING CODES FROM THE BLACK BOX THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH AND/OR HAS HAD THIRD PARTY PARTS INSTALLED. THIS IS A BUNCH OF CRAP BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING INSTALLED OTHER THAN THE LOJACK THAT THEY INSTALLED FOR ME AND THE REPLACEMENT OF A PART (I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS) THAT WAS CAUSING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON EVEN THOUGH I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 WEEKS, WHICH ONCE AGAIN THEY ALSO INSTALLED. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THEM ON 4/18/14 FOR AN OIL CHANGE, I LET THE SERVICE TECH KNOW THAT MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AND HE ADVISED THAT I WILL NEED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO COME BACK ANOTHER DAY BECAUSE IT TAKES 2-3 HOURS JUST FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE BUT THAT ITS PROBABLY JUST A BAD SENSOR (BASICALLY BLOWING IT OFF LIKE IT WAS NO BIG DEAL). SO I SAID OK AND KEPT DRIVING IT WITH THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ON BECAUSE HE MADE IT SEEM LIKE IT WAS NO BIG DEAL. I ALSO DO NOT LIVE NEAR THE DEALERSHIP AND USE THIS CAR TO GET TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY SO I WAS ALSO WAITING FOR A CONVENIENT TIME FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO TAKE AND LEAVE THE CAR WITH THEM FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT I NEED TO GO THROUGH MY INSURANCE TO GET THE REPAIRS PAID FOR. THIS IS WRONG! JOHN L SULLIVAN AND/OR GM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND NEED TO COVER THE REPAIRS UNDER MY WARRANTY OR THEY NEED TO GIVE ME A NEW CAR. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING CHEST PAIN CAUSED FROM THE INCIDENT AND WILL BE GOING TO THE DOCTORS TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT TODAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO MANEUVER. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE HE NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE RACK AND PINION WAS LEAKING. AS A RESULT, THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,779.

MY 2012 CAMARO HAD A LEAK AT THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR! ONE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT CANCELLED MY APPOINTMENT AND SAID THEY WOULD MAIL ME A CAP! I REFUSED AS THIS WOULD VOID THE WARRANTY!TOOK TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED AND REPLACED CAP! ABOUT 10K LATER THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND LOST MY BRAKES!DEALER ORDERED A NEW RESERVOIR AND REPLACED IT! I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND FOOT KEPT GOING TO THE FLOOR! BROUGHT CAR BACK AND DEALER SAID IT WAS FINE.THEY REFUSED TO LET ME SPEAK TO A TECH OR SERVICE MANAGER!BROUGHT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THE CALLED GM.THERE WAS NO BRAKE PRESSURE AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ON! THEY TOOK OFF MASTER CYLINDER AND REBLED SYSTEM! LESS THAN 100 MILES LATER I WENT OUT TO START CAR AS I BEEN SICK AND DIDN'T WANT A DEAD BATTERY AND FOOT WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR! I OPENED HOOD AND RESERVOIR WAS SOAKED AND BRAKE FLUID SPRAYED ONTO THE POSITIVE JUMPER CABLE, LEAKED UNDER MASTER CYLINDER AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE WAS A SPRAY PATTERN DIRECTLY FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER! FLUID IS BEING FORCED OUT AND AIR BEING SUCKED BACK IN! CAR WILL BE TOWED BACK TO DEALER! LAST TIME THEY CLAIMED PREVIOUS DEALER OVER FILLED RESERVOIR AND THAT'S WHY THERE WAS NO PRESSURE! A SLIGHTLY AS THEY SAID OVERFILLED MASTER CYLINDER WILL NEVER CAUSE A NO BRAKE PRESSURE ISSUE! SOUNDS LIKE THEY WERE TOLD WHAT TO WRITE BY GM LEGAL DEPARTMENT! FRONT BRAKES ALSO GRIND WHEN THERE IS PRESSURE AND CAUSING ROTORS TO BE GROOVED! SO SAD THAT THEY DON'T CARE THAT THIS IS A LIFE AND DEATH ISSUE! *JS

HELLO, I JUST BOUGHT A PRE-OWNED 2012 CHEVROLET CAMARO. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THEY DO NOT COME WITH A SPARE TIRE !! HOW ON EARTH CAN GM GET AWAY WITH THAT. INSTEAD, THEY GIVE YOU A AIR PUMP WITH SOME GUUUU TO SEAL UP THE HOLE. THEY HAVE GOT TO BE CRAZY. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THEY SHOULD GIVE EVERY CAR A SPARE TIRE. IS THAT ASKING TOO MUCH? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
