2010 Chevrolet Camaro Complaint Log

THE WARNING LIGHT AND MESSAGE TO "SERVICE AIRBAG" ILLUMINATES WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. THE LIGHT REMAINS ON WHETHER SOMEONE IS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OR NOT. REPLACING THE BATTERY DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I'M NOT SURE IF THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING CORRECTLY OR NOT.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 CHEVY CAMARO SS ON THE INTERSTATE HOME FROM WORK ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST POWER ALL MY INTERIOR LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS STARTED TO FLASH ON AND OFF CAR WOULD SURGE THEN LOSE POWER THAN SURGE LOSE POWER STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT HAD NO BRAKES MERGED OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO TRY TO GET INTO A SAFE POSITION AND WAS CALLING NINE-ONE-ONE WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE LEFT FRONT COMPARTMENT OF THE CAMARO UNDER THE HOOD AND THEN THE SMOKE TURN TO A RUST BURNT LOOKING COLOR AND THEN NOTICED THAT THE HOOD WAS STARTING TO BANNED FROM THE HEAT UNDERNEATH IT AND AT THIS TIME I TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE BUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS BURNT AND HAD TO USE A PAIR OF PLIERS TO OPEN UP THE DOOR LOCK BECAUSE MY INTERIOR DOOR LOCKS WOULD NOT FUNCTION GOT OUT OF THE CAR CALLED NINE-ONE-ONE AND WITHIN 5 MINUTES THERE WAS FLAMES COMING UP FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD THE HOOD KIND OF POPPED OPEN AND FLAMES TOOK OVER THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE TRUCK OF COURSE GOT THE FIRE OUT BUT THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, THERE WAS A DRASTIC REDUCTION IN SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEACON JONES CHEVROLET (1115A N BRIGHTLEAF BLVD, SMITHFIELD, NC 27577, (919) 934-8101) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE MANUFACTURER SERVICE CAMPAIGN: 12-06-01-009E APR 14 (ENGINE - TIMING CHAIN KITS AND CHAIN GUIDE REPLACEMENT). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND WAS PARKED AT THE CONTAC'TS RESIDENCE DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

THE HID HEADLAMPS ON THE 2010 CAMERO SS ARE NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE THE ROAD WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. GM WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE ENTIRE LIGHT ASSEMBLY ON THIS MODEL AND YEAR CAR. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE ASSEMBLY, REFLECTOR BOWL WAS OBSERVED TO BE DAMAGED BY EXTREME HEAT CAUSED BY THE FACTORY BULBS THIS HEAT CAUSED CRACKING AND DAMAGE TO THE REFLECTIVE COATING MAKING THE LIGHTS VERY DIM. THE LENSES ARE CLEAR AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT IT IS POOR ASSEMBLY THAT GM SHOULD WARRANTY FOR A CAR THAT IS 8 YEARS OLD. THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE BAD FACTORY LIGHT ASSEMBLY.

I RECENTLY NOTICED A HAIRLINE CRACK ON MY DASHBOARD AND BELIEVED IT WAS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. REQUESTED A COMPANY TO REPAIR CRACK, BUT REPRESENTATIVE UNABLE TO REPAIR CRACK DUE TO LOCATION BEING ABOVE THE AIRBAG. UPON FUTURE INVESTIGATION I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT OTHER CAMARO OWNERS HAVE SAME HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE EXACT LOCATION ON THEIR DASHBOARDS. FOR THE CRACK TO OCCUR IN THE SAME LOCATION ON DIFFERENT VEHICLES LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DASHBOARD. THE CRACK IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND I FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY DUE TO THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT BECOMING COMPROMISED.

HID LIGHT OUTPUT IS VERY POOR. PURCHASED CAR USED IN APRIL OF 2015 LIGHTING WAS VERY GOOD, NOW 3 YEARS LATER THE FORWARD LIGHTING IS VERY POOR.

THE IMAGE YOU SEE IS AN EXAMPLE OF AN AIRBAG THAT A LADY SUFFERED FROM YOUR RECENT RECALLED AIRBAG TAMARA. I HAVE SIMILAR EVIDENCE IN THE SAME EXACT AND LENGTH AND WIDTH CUT AS SHE DOES... I WAS A PASSENGER IN THIS CAR THAT BECOME OUT OF CONTROL, ALSO AN IGNITION RECALL WAS PROVEN TO HURT PEOPLE IN THE 2010 CAMARO. I WASN'T THE DRIVE SO ALL I KNOW IS DRIVER LOST CONTROL AN RAN ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD INTO THE GRASS, FLUSH GROUND, INBETWEN A FENCE AND THE ROAD HAD 100-200 FT TO BRAKE AND TURN THE CAR BACK ON THE ROAD AVOIDING A COLVERT. BUT INSTEAD MAJOR MALFUNCTION.FRONTAL AIRBAGS WENT OFF AT THE WRONG TIME, ALSO EVIDENCE SHOWS AIRBAG CUT MY THROAT, ALSO SIDE AND SUNROOF AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! VEHICLE WENT AIRBORN, ALL ENDS OF VEHICLE WAS IMPACTED. NOTE. PASSENGER! NOT OWNER!

MY CAR IS REACHING 50K MILES I BOUGHT IT USED AND HAD IT FOR THE PAST YEARS AND HAVE BEEN RUNNING INTO A PROBLEM RECENTLY WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE TRANSMISSION LIKE TODAY THAT THE CAR IS GRINDING WHEN SHIFTING INTO 2 GEAR AND HAS DONE IT IN THE PAST AND GOT STUCK ONCE IN TRAFFIC LUCKLY NO ACCIDENT BUT LIKE TODAY I WENT IN A TRIP AND GRINDED LIKE 5TIMES BUT HAPPY TO HAVE NOT RAN INTO ANY ACCIDENTS.SO I'M HERE DOING THIS BECAUSE I DID QUITE SOME RESEARCH AND I KNOW A LOT OF OWNERS OF THIS CAR HAVE RUN INTO THIS PROBLEM AND REALLY CAN COST A LIFE.MAIN REASON I'M DOING THIS IS BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT CHEVY DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO FIX IT OR AN ANSWER.WHICH THEY HAVE TO BE PUSHED INTO HELPING US FIX THIS PROBLEM WHICH CAN CAUSE LIFE ISSUES PERHAPS FOR SOMEONE.ONCE AGAIN THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT HAVE HASN'T FIXED ACCORDING TO MYSELF AND A QUITE OF FEW PEOPLE.I'M WILLING TO TAKE ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO FIX MY ISSUE .THANKS

HID HEADLIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT UP THE ROAD PROPERLY AT NIGHT CAUSING DANGEROUS DRIVING.

EARLIER IN 2018, THE CAR WAS INTERMITTENTLY THROWING A P008 CODE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH NO NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE IN THE MILEAGE OR RUNNING. IT WOULD COME ON, THEN GO OFF FOR WEEKS. OIL WAS CHANGED EVERY 3-5000 MILES. NOW THE LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF, SHOWING ONLY THE SAME CODE OF P008. I CAN NOT PASS YEARLY STATE EMISSION INSPECTIONS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THE LOCAL GM SHOP INDICATED THAT THE CODE MEANS THAT I NEED A NEW TIMING CHAIN. I HAVE THE 3.6 LITER MOTOR WITH 92000 MILES. FOR OTHER GM MODELS WITH THIS ISSUE AND THE 3.6 L MOTOR, GM EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY AND COVERED THE COST OF REPLACING THE TIMING BELT, BUT THEY EXCLUDED THE CAMARO. I HAVE RECEIVED ESTIMATED COSTS OF 1200 TO 2100 TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN. THIS COST IS MORE MONEY THAN I HAVE, BUT I MAY NOT HAVE A CHOICE. I DO NOT WANT TO BE ON THE ROAD WHEN THE TIMING CHAIN BREAKS AND I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSTATE TRAFFIC.

THE REAR DRIVESHAFT BOLTS BETWEEN THE GUIBO AND THE PINION FLANGE SHEERED CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY FUEL TANK SHIELD, DRIVE SHAFT, AND FLANGE. OUT OF WARRANTY AND HAD BILL CRISPIN PERFORM WARRANTY WORK ON THE COMPONENTS FOR A DRIVETRAIN CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP IN STOP AND GO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN THE CONCERN OCCURRED ON FORD ROAD WHERE IT INTERSECTS I-275.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE ODOR OF BURNING PLASTIC WAS PRESENT. TWO DAYS LATER, THE WARNING INDICATOR FOR THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (ROGER DEAN CHEVROLET, 101 SW PINE ISLAND ROAD, CAPE CORAL, FL 33991) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,977.

PASSENGER AIRBAG ILLUMINATED WHEN A SOMEONE SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND NOW STAYS ILLUMINATED WHETHER SITTING IN THE SEAT OR NOT. LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM AND REALIZED GM HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECT THAT IS CAUSING MANY OF CONSUMERS THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE DECIDED TO NOT GET IT FIXED DUE TO THE COST OF REPAIRING AND THE FACT THAT GM SHOULD BE THE ONES FIXING THEIR SAFTEY DEFECTS.

THE TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED AND IS FAILING. DEALER ADMITS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT OTHER MODEL CARS WITH SAME ENGINE HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENTS. ALTHOUGH IT'S A KNOW ISSUE DEALER IS CHARGING $2000 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TIMING CHAIN WITH THE ONE CHEVROLET SWITCH TO IN THE NEXT MODEL YEAR CAMARO AS THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE THE V6 2010 CAMARO AND LIKE MANY OTHERS THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE WEB HAVE THE P0008 ERROR CODE FOR PREMATURE TIMING CHAIN WEAR THAT STARTED AT AROUND 80K MILES. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ISSUED ON JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER CAR THAT HAS THIS ENGINE IN IT. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT GM WOULD NOT ISSUE IT ON THIS CAR AS WELL FULL ON KNOWING THAT THIS WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

VEHICLE HAS HAD A CODE OF P008 INTERMITTENTLY THEN PERMANENTLY SINCE 68000 MILES, IT IS NOW AT 99,500 MILES. THE CODE RELATES TO TIMING CHAIN STRETCHING WHICH IS CAUSING ENGINE MISFIRE. SAME PROBLEM WITH IDENTICAL ENGINE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED IN FORM OF WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR SEVERAL VEHICLES, INCLUDING CADILLAC CTS, EXTENDING WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 120K MILES. THIS HAS NOT BEEN DONE FOR THE CAMARO FOR REASONS WHICH ELUDE ME. OCCASIONAL PROBLEMS WITH STALLING AND REDUCED POWER (ESPECIALLY IN SITUATIONS REQUIRING THE ADDITIONAL POWER), AS WELL AS ENGINE "ROUGHNESS" CERTAINLY CAUSE SAFETY CONCERNS FOR ME. IN ADDITION, THE PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SAFETY BAG SEAT PAD SENSOR HAS BEEN ONGOING AND IS ALSO NOT RECALLED, ALTHOUGH THE SYSTEM KEEPS PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF IN THE PRESENCE OF A PASSENGER DUE TO A SHORT IN THE PAD, ALSO WELL-DOCUMENTED AND CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD. THE INTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEM IS SIMPLY A NUISANCE AND NOT A SAFETY CONCERN AT THIS TIME. THE COST OF REPAIRS IS STAGGERING, AND I'VE NEVER SEEN AN INSTANCE WHERE A TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DURING THE EXPECTED OPERATING PERIOD OF A VEHICLE WITH NORMAL USE. CLEARLY IT IS A DESIGN FLAW WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, AS IT HAS BEEN WITH OTHER VEHICLES UTILIZING THIS ENGINE. THE NUMBER OF INSTANCES WHICH GO UNREPORTED AND SIMPLY GET REPAIRED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE IS ALSO QUITE SIGNIFICANT, ACCORDING TO THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM STARTED INTERMITTENTLY IN LATE 2016 AND HAS BECOME A CONTINUAL PROBLEM AS OF THIS WRITING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AT THIS POINT, WITH THE P008 CODE.

ENGINE STALLS WHILE ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC AND WON'T RESTART.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY CAR LOST ALL POWER CAUSING ME TO STRIKE A POLE GENERAL MOTORS IS ALREADY DETERMINED THAT THE RECALL WAS FROM THE ACCIDENT BUT THE POLICE REPORT SAID I WAS SWERVING ALL OVER THE ROAD THEY GAVE ME A TICKET FOR FAILURE TO CONTROL SPEED BUT WHEN THEY PULLED THE BLACK BOX IN THE VEHICLE IT SAID THAT I WAS GOING 43 AND A 45 CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS MATTER MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE RECALL LAWS ARE TO REFER REFUND REPAIR OR REPLACE

THE HID HEADLAMPS ON THE 2010 CAMARO SS/RS WERE NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH USABLE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE ROAD CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. CONDITION WAS UNBEARABLE AS DRIVER COULD NOT SEE ENOUGH LIGHT ON THE ROAD IN JUST THIS CAR. UPON REMOVAL AND INSPECTION OF HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY, REFLECTOR BOWL WAS OBSERVED TO BE DAMAGED BY HEAT WITH CRACKS AND REFLECTIVE COATING MISSING IN CERTAIN AREAS. ALL LENSES WERE CLEAR AND INTACT, WITH JUST THE REFLECTOR BOWL BEING DAMAGED.

VEHICLE OVERHEATING RESULTING IN SHUTDOWN - I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO 2 GM DEALERSHIPS WHO FIRST REPLACED THE WATER PUMP AND FLUSHED THE SYSTEM AFTER THE VEHICLE STRANDED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY INTERSECTION. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP I HEARD THE FANS STARTUP AND THE TEMPERATURE ROSE TO 250F+ IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND INITIATED AN ENGINE SHUTOFF PROCEDURE, WHICH CUTS OFF ALL POWER TO THE CAR. AT THAT POINT I WAS DEAD IN AN INTERSECTION OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND DOES NOT INITIATE A EVENT TO THE CAR'S COMPUTER. THE GM DEALER SAID THEY CONSIDER AN OVERHEATING EVENT A NOTICE AND NOT A WARNING EVENT SO IT IS NOT RECORDED ON THE CARS COMPUTER EVEN THOUGH IT CAUSES THE CAR TO BE SHUTDOWN. THIS HAS OCCURRED 2 TIMES IN THE 6 MONTHS AND I HAVE REPLACED THE WATER PUMP, RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP, FLUSHED THE SYSTEM ALL ON ADVICE FROM THE GM DEALER TO CORRECT FOR THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AS I GOT TO A BORDER CHECKPOINT RESULTING IN ME BEING STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY FOR AN 1.5 HOURS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A ANOTHER GM DEALER WHO TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY DON'T SEEN TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE AS THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE WHEN I BRING THE CAR INTO THEM AND THERE IS NO EVENT FOR THEM TO TRACK.

WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE LAST WEEK. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, MY "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT IS ON. TALKED WITH THE MECHANIC AND HE SHOWED ME EVERYTHING HE HAD TOUCHED ON MY VEHICLE. TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN ABERDEEN MD AND THEY SAID THAT AN OIL CHANGE WOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH THE AIRBAG SENSOR. ONE OF THE SERVICE GUYS TOLD ME IT IS NORMALLY A WIRE THAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. THEY SCHEDULED ME FOR AN APPOINTMENT FOR MONDAY BUT AFTER DOING RESEARCH I DECIDED TO HOLD OFF. I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD BE FIXING A SAFETY ISSUE, PLUS I AM SEEING THIS COMMON IN THESE CARS. WHAT ARE CHEVY'S PLANS TO FIX? I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY 11 YEAR OLD SON AROUND IN A CAR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A DEATH TRAP FOR HIM.

P0008 TIMING CHAIN CODE COMING UP FOR V6 ENGINE (2LT MODEL) AT 70K MILES. READING SEVERAL FORUMS AND RESEARCHING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON OTHER GMS WITH THE SAME PART. WHILE THEY GRANTED 10 YEAR/120K WARRANTY FOR OTHER MODELS, THE CAMARO IS LEFT OUT. COST IS ANYWHERE FROM $1800-$3000. NOT SURE WHY CAMAROS ARE NOT BEING INCLUDED WITHIN THE RECALL WHEN WE HAVE TO SAME PARTS AND ISSUES. PLEASE ASSIST!!!

WELL WHEN I SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR IT WON'T GO INTO 2ND AND SEEMS TO LOCK OUT OF ALL GEARS. HAVE TO STOP COMPLETE AND RETRY TO TAKE OFF. PLEASE HELP

ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, SEVERAL CODES, THREE OF WHICH HAVE A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. CODES ARE P0007, P0008, P0017. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER IS 374076. VEHICLE HAS LOSS OF POWER. DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE FOR FEAR OF THROWING OFF THE TIMING SINCE ALL OF THESE INVOLVES POSITIONING SENSORS FOR THE CAMSHAFT AND CRANK SHAFT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 96,000.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS LIT. FIRST SYMPTOMS WERE WHEN AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT SAT DOWN, AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. NOW IT JUST REMAINS LIT EVEN WITHOUT OCCUPANT.

My name is Kenneth Brown 'Kenny', and I purchased my 2010 Chevy Camaro 1LT 3.6L V6 from Ron Tonkin Chevrolet here in Portland, Oregon right off of their lot brand new. Now on the the bigger issue that has never been addressed to this day...the faulty 3.6L V6 motor. If you were to look at the wrecking yards across the country, you will find many 2010 & some early 2011 Camaro's with dead motors well before 75k miles, because my motor went out at 69K miles in 2017. McLaughlin Chevrolet the Dealership that replaced my motor stated that "They don't replace motors with only 69k miles on them", but they did, and that wouldn't be the last motor replacement they would do on the same car! Two weeks before the warranty expired on the replacement motor in September 2020 with 102,233 miles, McLaughlin Chevrolet replaced the GM vendor replacement motor with what is currently in my car. So is it normal to have had (3) OEM GM motors in one car with just 102k miles? There is a more serious/dangerous underlining issue here that GM, or anyone will acknowledge, and that is, just before the two previous motors went out, there was this engine warning light that has popped up each time, and that was the "Engine Power is Reduced". And where the safety concern lies is when this engine warning light comes on, it reduces your engine power almost down to a complete stop. How wonderful it is when your in heave traffic doing 45mph to 50mph and you loose engine power in heavy traffic! Now GM has attributed the engine warning light to a Timing belt issue, and this has been an issue since 2010. When this warning light comes on, not only is the engine power reduced, the bigger issue is that the power steering is reduced drastically. If you are not a seasoned driver that has driven a vehicle that has no power steering in it, then it becomes a serious issue...RIGHT, especially when your in heave traffic doing 45 to 50mph, because it put me right into the retaining cement barrier on the highway

PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES ANY TIME SOMEONE SITS IN PASSENGER SEAT OF CAR.

MY VEHICLE HAS 40,970 MILES ON IT AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAY SENSOR FAILING WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT, BUT NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR WHICH HAS LESS MILES ON IT. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM THAT CHEVY IS AWARE OF AND THAT THEY HAVE NOT MADE ANY CHANGES TO THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAG SENSORS TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT. THE SENSOR COSTS OVER $400.00 TO REPLACE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COMMUNITY CHEVROLET (200 W OLIVE AVE, BURBANK, CA 91502) WHERE IT WAS ALSO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE CONTACT SHOULD SPEAK WITH NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

I HAD A AIR BAG SERVICE, LIGHT COME ON FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT, AFTER I PICKED MY SON UP, HE SAT DOWN PUT ON HIS SEAT BELT, THEN I GOT THE SERVICE AIR BAG ON MY DASH, AND THE LIGHT OVER THE REAR VIEW MIRROR WENT FROM ON TO OFF, AND STAYED OFF. I CALLED ONSTAR TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, AND THEY SAID YES THEIR SHOWING A TSB CODE OF BOO81, AND AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I FINED THAT THIS AN ON GOING ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT MY CHEVY DEALER, TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE, THEN CONTACT GM AGAIN, TO SEE IF THEIR GOING TO COVER THIS, BUT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SAID MY CAR ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY, I LET THEM NO IT'S NOT A MATTER OF WARRANTY, IT'S A MATTER OF SAFETY AND SHOULDN'T MATTER IF IT'S A WARRANTY ISSUE, SOMETHING IS DEFECTIVE, AND GM SHOULD FIX THIS AS A DEFECTIVE PART OR PARTS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, I PLAN ON BRING IT TO THE DEALER WEDNESDAY 21 JUNE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. WHICH WILL COST ABOUT $150.00 DOLLARS, JUST TO FINED WHAT PART OF THE AIRBAG SYS IS DEFECTIVE, GM SHOULD FIX THIS, FOR IT IS A MATTER OF SAFETY NOT WARRANTY RELATED ISSUE.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND ALARM CAME ON AND OFF IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN SOME ONE IS SITTING IN IT, AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME, SO APPARENTLY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT ON OR WILL NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, SO APPARENTLY THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT IS NOT WORKING AND IN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A MAJOR COMPLAINT FOR THIS MODEL CAMARO AND I HEAR IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX IF ITS FIXABLE AT ALL

I was in an accident with a friend in [XXX] We weren't doing over 30 to 35 miles per hour when we hit a deer. All I could remember was yelling because my wrist was broken and I had bone coming out from the air bags that deployed on my side of the car. The wind shield was cracked because of this as well. My friend had to jump out of the car to disconnect the battery because the car would not shut off or stop moving. The brake and parking brake was used but couldn't get it to stop. My friend had to crawl out the side window by them to let me out of the car because neither door opened to let us out. My friend was hurt as well but not as bad as my wrist. The er doctor told me since my wrist never healed or would ever heal correctly. That iwould have to go see a hand specialist to do surgery and put pins in but wasn't a guarantee fix. Till this day I have trouble working if it requires me to pick up heavy things with that hand because I just feel the pain and how it feels like it wants to come apart. This happened in bandera Texas on [XXX]. I did make a police report and even claimed it on my insurance. I was told the car was totaled due to cost of the air bags being deployed. I have not reported to anyone because people don't think it is a safety issue. So I'm still have debit from this incident that I don't want anyone to have to go through what I have since that day. I was seen at beorne Methodist er in beorne texas. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

THE GM 6.2L LS ENGINE HAS A SERIOUS DEFECT WITH THE VALVE TRAIN THAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO DROP VALVES INTO THE CYLINDER, AND LOCK UP THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. THE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT MAKES THE ENGINE OPERATE ON LESS CYLINDERS WHILE AT CRUISING SPEEDS, CAUSES THE LIFTERS TO STICK. THIS RESULTS IN EXCESSIVE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE VALVE AND ROCKER ARM, AND THE BEATING ACTION KNOCKS THE KEEPERS OUT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE VALVE DROPS INTO THE CYLINDER, AND THE ENGINE LOCKS UP. THIS PRIMARILY HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WHICH RESULTS IN LOSS OF STEERING, LOSS OF BRAKES, AND IN CASES LIKE MINE WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, WHEN THE ENGINE LOCKS UP, THE REAR WHEELS ALSO LOCK UP, AND THE VEHICLE SLIDES OUT OF CONTROL. THIS HAPPENED, IT WAS RAINING, ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF DIVIDED 4 LANE, AT 55MPH, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE OFF THE ROAD, AND ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS ON A SATURDAY MORNING AND THERE WAS VERY LIMITED TRAFFIC, WE WERE NOT INJURED OR KILLED. I SPECIAL ORDERED THIS VEHICLE FROM GM, IT WAS SERVICED ONLY AT THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS PURCHASED, AND WAS TREATED WITH EXTREME CARE FROM DAY ONE. BEING THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, THE DEALERSHIP MADE AN ESTIMATE THAT IT WILL TAKE $8,200 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, AND IT ONLY HAD 51,000 MILES AT THE TIME. AFTER THIS HAPPENED TO MINE, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS SITUATION IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE 6.2L LS ENGINES. GM HAS DONE NOTHING BUT TURN THEIR BACKS TO MILLIONS OF CUSTOMERS WHO ARE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT CAN LOSE STEERING, BRAKES, AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 60+MPH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE TO NOT JUST THE PEOPLE DRIVING THESE VEHICLES, BUT ANYONE WHO IS DRIVING NEAR ONE OF THESE VEHICLES WHEN THIS OCCURS. GM NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

WE WHERE DRIVING LOOKING AT A LOCAL SUBDIVISION AND WE WERE DOING 35 MILES A HOUR WHEN WE HIT A DEER ALL AIR BAGS CAME OUT AND I BROKE MY WRIST AND MY FRIEND HURT HIS ARM AS WELL I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE WITH MY SET BELT ON AND WHEN WE HIT THE DEER THE AIR BAG CAME OUT FULL FORCE THAT I BROKE MY WIND SHIELD AS WELL

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE 680 FREEWAY WHEN MY GIRLFRIEND AND I HEARD ALMOST LIKE A GUNSHOT SOUND RIGHT ABOVE OUR HEADS SO WE OPENED OUR SUNROOF COVER TO FIND OUT OUR SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. THE TINT ON MY WINDOW IS LUCKILY KEEPING IT TOGETHER FOR NOW.

AIR BAGS WARNING ON DASH IS INDICATING A ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG. CHEVROLET WANTS OVER A 1000 DOLLARS TO FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS GM TO STEP UP AND REPAIR. POTENTIAL INGURY DUE TO NO AIR BAG INFLATION AT CRASH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING BELT WAS STRETCHED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO NOTIFIED BY THE DEALER THAT THE FAILURE WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

IN FIRST THREE YEARS, THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION MODULE WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES. ON THE THIRD TIME, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE IGNITION WIRING HARNESS WAS NOT FOR A CAMARO. IT WAS INCORRECTLY INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. SECONDLY, JUST THREE WEEKS AGO, FOUR OF MY CAR'S SIX FUEL INJECTORS WENT BAD. MY CAR ONLY HAD 74,000 MILES ON IT. ALL SIX INJECTORS WERE REPLACED AT MY COST OF $2812.00! OUTRAGEOUS! BOTH TIMES, MY CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A CITY STREET.

MY 2010 CHEVY CAMARO HAS ONLY 14,361 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND IS NOT SUBJECTED TO WEATHER OVER 99% OF THE TIME. A FEW MONTHS AGO I NOTICED A VERY FAINT MARK OR SCRATCH OR CRACK IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD OVER THE AIRBAG. IT IS BECOMING MORE PRONOUNCED AND NOW A SECOND CRACK IS FORMING. I CHECKED WITH MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY IN TURN CHECKED WITH A GM REP. THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY WILL REPLACE IT FOR ABOUT $1250 BUT I WILL HAVE TO PAY $800 OF THE COSTS. CONSIDERING THAT I TREAT MY CAR WITH THE UTMOST CARE AND ADDING TO THAT THE FACT THAT THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT CRACKS OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON 2010 CAMAROS, THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL.

3.6 TIMING CHAIN P0008 CODE.

THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THE CODE P0008 MEANT THAT IT HAD A STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN WHICH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON IN OTHER CHEVY ENGINES AND THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTEE WAS EXTENDED TO COVER THESE REPAIRS IN OTHER ENGINES, BUT NOT MY CAMARO. I CURRENTLY ONLY HAVE 73K MILES AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHEVY FIX THE ISSUE AS IT HAS BEEN DONE WITH THE OTHER GM CARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A POLE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A LEFT ARM INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CULBERSON AUTOS (805 N HOBART ST, PAMPA, TX 79065, (806) 665-1665). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V346000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION KEY SWITCH WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. - (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

MANUAL DRIVER'S SEATBACK WENT FORWARD ON ITS OWN & STUCK IN FORWARD POSITION AND TRUNK POPPED ON ITS OWN WHILE STATIONARY. 2010 CAMARO 2LT HADN'T BEEN DRIVEN OVER CHRISTMAS BREAK. WHILE OUT STROLLING, MY HUSBAND STOPS TO CRANK THE CAR SINCE IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. HE GOT IN, CRANKED IT. NO TROUBLE. A WEEK LATER I WENT TO DRIVE IT TO WORK, USED REMOTE KEY TO UNLOCK DOORS AND NOTICED THE SEATBACK WAS STUCK CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I TRIED LATCH ON SEAT'S BACK AND SIDE LEVER, BUT COULDN'T GET THE SEATBACK TO MOVE. I CALLED TO TELL MY HUSBAND I WAS TAKING OUR OTHER VEHICLE TO WORK AND ASKED IF HE'D RAISED THE SEATBACK THE DAY HE CRANKED THE CAR FOR GOOD MEASURE. HE DIDN'T RECALL DOING SO. LATER THAT EVENING, WE WENT TO LOOK AT THE CAR TOGETHER, USED THE REMOTE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. HE TRIED MOVING THE SEATBACK AND COULDN'T. HE NOTICED THE TRUNK WAS POPPED AND ASKED IF I'D POPPED IT. I DIDN'T THINK SO, BUT MAYBE I HIT THE WRONG BUTTON WHEN UNLOCKING THE DOORS. HE SLAMMED THE TRUNK SHUT. WE THOUGHT PERHAPS HE FORGOT TO LOCK THE CAR AND SOMEONE HAD RUMMAGED THROUGH OUR CAR AND JAMMED THE SEAT. A BRIEF ONLINE SEARCH REVEALED OTHER CAMARO OWNERS W/ SAME ISSUE. THE SEATBACK HAD GONE FORWARD ON ITS OWN. I THOUGHT, IF SEATBACKS ARE MOVING FORWARD ON THEIR OWN WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE'S DRIVING. UNSAFE! I VISITED NHTSA ONLINE AND SAW PICTURES ARE HELPFUL. I WENT HOME TO TAKE A PIC. THIS TIME THE REMOTE DIDN'T UNLOCK THE DOORS, SO I USED THE KEY. AFTER PHOTOS, I NOTICED THAT THE TRUNK WAS POPPED AGAIN. NO WAY I 'HIT THE WRONG BUTTON,' THE REMOTE WASN'T WORKING. I CHECKED TRUNK AND NOTED THE INSIDE LIGHTS WEREN'T ON. THE CAR'S BATTERY HAD DRAINED FROM THE TRUNK BEING OPEN FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. SEATBACK MOVING FORWARD ON ITS OWN AND TRUNK POPPING ON ITS OWN'NOT A COINCIDENCE. BOTH ARE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH P0008 OBD-II TROUBLE CODE: ENGINE POSITIONS SYSTEM PERFORMANCE BANK 1. TWICE WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP IT WAS AN OIL ISSUE EVEN THOUGH NO OIL CHANGE ALERTS CAME ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING BACK AFTER SERVICE (OCCASIONALLY INTERMITTENT). MPG WAS NEGATIVELY IMPACTED DURING REGULAR OPERATION AND OCCASIONAL ROUGH IDLING AT STOPLIGHTS. AT 77,000 MILES (AND JUST PAST THE 7 YEARS COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY), WAS FINALLY TOLD THIS WAS A TIMING CHAIN ISSUE AND $1,700 TO FIX (OF COURSE NOT COVERED). RESEARCH ON STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN FROM P0008 ERROR FOR CAMAROS INDICATED MANY OTHERS WITH ISSUE AND EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO 10 YEARS/120,000 MILES ISSUED BY GM FOR OTHER VEHICLE MODELS USING SAME ENGINE. BULLETIN/WARRANTY SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO AFFECTED 2010 CAMAROS.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR WAS IN MOTION. TOOK TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS: NEED TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN ON A CAR WITH 44000 MILES ON IT. CAR USUALLY SITS IN WINTER. ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED BY THE DEALER. ORDERED THE CAR AND PURCHASED IT TO KEEP IT. ALWAYS HAND WASHED. IT IS THE V-6 ENGINE AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WILL ONLY REPAIR THIS ENGINE ON CADILLACS & SOME SATURN MODELS. IT IS THE SAME ENGINE USED IN VARIOUS VEHICLES. I FEEL THAT THIS IS VERY PREMATURE. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A TIMING CHAIN. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE GEARS ARE PLASTIC AND THE CHAIN IS METAL. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A COST TO ME AS THIS IS DESIGNED TO FAIL. IM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO.

MY CARS "ENGINE LIGHT" CAME ON AROUND 120,000 MILES SO I TOOK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT READ A CODE OF P0008 ENGINE TIMING. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS DUE TO DIRTY OIL. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO WITH CLOSE TO 80,000 MILES ON IT AND I KEEP THE OIL CHANGED BETWEEN EVERY 3000 TO 4000 MILES. I'VE ASKED AROUND TO A FEW OTHER SHOPS THEIR OPINION AND THEY TELL ME THE SAME THING. THE PRICE IM GETTING QUOTED COUNTING PARTS AND LABOR IS CLOSE TO $1300 AND I CANT AFFORD THAT KIND OF BILL. IT APPEARS THAT IF OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE THEN A RECALL SHOULD BE BROADCAST OUT AND BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY? I'M A DIE HARD BOW TIE GUY AND ALL I'VE EVER OWNED WAS A GM CARS AND TRUCKS. I CURRENTLY HAVE MY 2010 CAMARO A 2003 CHEVY TRUCK WITH ONLY 121000 MILES AND A 1971 CHEVY TRUCK THAT IM RESTORING. IS THERE ANYWAY THAT YALL COULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE EVERYONE IS STARTING TO HAVE WITH THESE? I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT ENTERPRISE CHEVROLET HAD A CAMARO IN THIS WEEK WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS WELL AS A FEW OTHERS I'VE TALKED TO. *TR

CAR HAS 46500 MILES AND IS STORED WINTERS. CODE P0008 TIMING CHAIN. NICE TO KNOW ALL OTHER 4.6 LITER ENGINES WERE APPLIED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXCEPT THE CAMARO. NOW I HAVE TO CONTEND WITH THE DEALER IN HOPES THEY WILL REPAIR UNDER THE GOODWILL ACT. I BET I STILL HAVE TO PAY. WAY TO GO GM

TIMING CHAIN. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. REVEALED CODE P0008 WHICH WAS LATER FOUND TO BE AN ISSUE WITH A STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN. VEHICLE HAD JUST OVER 50,000 MILES AND EVEN THE DEALER ADMITTED IT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCH, DISCOVERED THAT THE SAME ENGINE USED IN THE 2010 LLT CAMARO WAS USED IN OTHER GM VEHICLES---BUT THOSE VEHICLES HAD POWER TRAIN WARRANTIES EXTENDED TO 10 YEAR/120,000 MILES TO HELP COVER THIS POTENTIAL ISSUE. THIS WAS NOT DONE FOR THE CAMARO, SO I WAS FORCED TO PAY NEARLY $1400 TO REPAIR MY CAR SINCE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. WHY WAS THE WARRANTY NOT EXTENDED ON THE CAMARO WHICH USES THE SAME ENGINE AS THOSE OTHER GM VEHICLES??
