2016 Chevrolet Camaro

WHILE PULLING THROUGH A FAST FOOD DRIVE-THRU, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND "BRAKE ASSIST" ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS RESULTED IN REDUCED BRAKING WITH THE ABS MODULE PULSATING. ONCE AT A COMPLETE A STOP THE BRAKES WERE STILL APPLIED ALTHOUGH MY FOOT WAS NOT PRESSING THE BRAKES. GIVING THE VEHICLE GAS LET THE BRAKES RELEASE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND IT WAS DRIVEN DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE LIGHT ON. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR WEEKS AND I'M BEING TOLD IT WILL BE ANOTHER 60-90DAYS BEFORE GM HAS A NEW PROGRAM TO FIX THE ISSUE.

I WAS SITTING IN MY GARAGE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOSE WHEN I WENT INTO THE GARAGE TO CHECK AND SEE WHAT WAS THE NOISE WAS ABOUT, THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED SO I LOOKED TO SEE FROM WHAT AND I COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING IN AROUND OR ON THE CAR NOTHING WAS ABOVE THE CARE THAT COULD HAVE FALLEN ON THE CAR THE WINDOW JUST SHATTERED ON ITS OWN, I HAVE ALSO BEEN HEARING SOME RATTLING NOSE WHEN I WAS DRIVING THAT COMES AND GOES IN THE BACK PANEL. *TR

ON FRI, 26 AUGUST 2016, AT A STOP, MY CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO ANY GEAR (IT IS A 6 SPEED MANUAL). I ALMOST GOT HIT. A COP & A GOOD SAMARITAN STOPPED & FORCED THE GEAR IN 1ST AS DEALERSHIP & GM WEREN'T HELPFUL OVER THE PHONE. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO FLOW. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR A WEEK & SAID THEY DID A FULL CHECK & EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. GM WAS CONTACTED BUT NOTHING WAS DONE TO FIX IT. ON SAT, 24 SEPTEMBER AT NIGHT IN A PARKING GARAGE, I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WHEN I WENT TO PUT MY CAR INTO FIRST GEAR TO PARK, AGAIN IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. I RECORDED A VIDEO OF MY FRIEND HAVING TO FORCE IT INTO GEAR AS THE GOOD SAMARITAN DID WEEKS BEFORE. ANYONE WHO VIEWS THE VIDEO CAN SEE HOW THE CAR WON'T GO IN GEAR & CAN HEAR THE NOISE IT MAKES (AS IT DID THE IN THE AUGUST SCENARIO). I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN THAT MON. CAR WAS KEPT FOR A WEEK. THEY CONTACTED GM & GM SAID THE SAME THING HAD BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHER 2016 CAMAROS & THE SOLUTION WAS TO FLUSH OUT OR "BLEED" SOME FLUID IN THE CLUTCH. I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT I KNEW THIS WOULDN'T WORK. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO SUSPICIOUS. JUST 3 WEEKS BEFORE, GM SUPPOSEDLY HAD NO SOLUTIONS & ACTED LIKE MY CAR WAS THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS. FRI , 30 SEPT, CAR WAS RETURNED. ON SAT MORNING 1 OCT, THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AT A DRIVE THRU & 2 EMPLOYEES HAD TO PUSH ME IN THE PARKING LOT. NEW MANAGER SAYS THEY'LL DRIVE THE CAR TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS TO THEM & ALSO CAN TRY "ONE MORE THING".THE CAR HAS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTER DEFECT THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD.I CALLED GM FOR ASSISTANCE & THEY ATTTEMPTED TO CONTACT FLOW FOR MORE INFO & AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES ,RETURNED & SAID THAT THEY HAD NOT BEEN TRANSFERRED TO SERVICE & WAS TOLD FLOW SERVICE WAS"TOO BUSY" TO TALK BECAUSE THEY WERE GETTING OFF IN AN HOUR. GM NEEDS TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY & TAKE THE TRANSMISSION APART OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE. IT'S IN THE SHOP FOR THE 3RD TIME IN 4 WEEKS.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON BUT THE CHEVROLET ENGINEERS COULD NOT DETERMINE THE MEANING OF THE CODE. THEY SAID THAT "FOR THE 2015 & 2016, THEY PLACED A NEW CODE WHICH COULD MEAN A LEAK IN BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST. THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR MORE THAN A WEEK BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT'S GOING ON AND NOBODY, INCLUDING THE CORPORATE ENGINEERS COULD FIX IT. I DEMANDED A VEHICLE REPLACEMENT BEC. IT'S JUST A 2000 MILE CAR AND I ONLY HAD IT SINCE MAY2016. BUT GM CORPORATE KEPT THEIR EYES SHUT TO MY PLIGHT AND JUST TOLD ME TO TAKE HOME MY CAR. THEY SAID THAT THEU WOULD CALL ME IF THEY FIND OUT THE MEANING OF THE CODE.

ENGINE CRANKSHAFT BEGAN COMING APART WITHOUT WARNING, PURCHASED 2016 SS, DROVE IT 6MO AND 7,000MI, NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SIGNS, JUST EXCESSIVE VIBRATION WHILE COASTING ON THE FREEWAY. ENGINE IS CURRENTLY BEING "REPLACED", CONSUMERS ARE NOT BEING NOTIFIED OF MAJOR LT1 ENGINE FAILURES....NO WORD FROM GM FINANCIAL ABOUT THE CAR'S STATUS AFTER 30 DAYS.....NOW BY CA LAW A LEMON......

COMING FROM BEHIND THE REAR SEAT ARE TWO DISTINCT SOUNDS - ONE IS A CRACKING/BUZZING THAT IS NOT AN AUDIO NOISE. IT IS A LOOSE PANEL, OR A RESULT OF THE REAR PANEL RUBBING UP AGAINST THE REAR WINDOW. THE SECOND SOUND IS A QUIET AND CONSISTENT SOUND COMING FROM INSIDE THE TRUNK. IT CAN BE HEARD IF GOING OVER 20 MPH AND DOES NOT STOP. I HAVE HAD A DEALER LOOK AT THIS ISSUE 4 TIMES, AND THEY CANNOT RESOLVE IT.

PURCHASED 2016 CHEVROLET CAMARO ON 6/18/2016 FEW DAYS AFTER THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH, GRINDING NOISE, TRANSMISSION SHIFTING HARD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND SPEED REDUCED TO 5 MPH SHOWED ON DISPLAY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THEN, I BROUGHT TO DEALER ON 7/1/2016 AND THE SERVICE MECHANIC TOOK BACK TO CHECK CODES AND INFORMED ME THAT NUMEROUS ERROR CODES WERE DETECTED AND TOLD ME TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE VEHICLE HOME BECAUSE IT WAS A HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND TO RETURN ON TUESDAY 7/5/2016 TO BE INSPECTED FOR REPAIR.
