2016 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP AND DRIPS WITH AIR ON THE FEET. NO WAY TO CLEAR THE INCREASING FOG UNLESS YOU TURN THE AIR-CONDITIONING OFF AND INCREASE THE HEAT THERE FOR ON THE 90+ HOT AND MUGGY DAY YOU ARE LEFT WITH HEAT EXHAUSTION OR PULLING OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAYS WHICH IS NEVER SAFE. WHEN IT RAINS GOOD LUCK DECIDING IF YOU WANT TO TURN THE WINDOW DEFOGGERS ON AND CAUSE CONDENSATION OR OPEN THE WINDOWS IN THE RAIN TO GET WET WHICH MAKES THE WINDOWS STEAM UP COMPLETELY OR LAST RESORT IS TO TURN THE HEAT UP ON THE DEFROSTERS AND HEAT UP THE WHOLE CAR. . OR AGAIN, PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD INDEFINITELY OR DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR IN 80% OF THE SOUTH'S WEATHER CONDITIONS. REALLY SAD THAT GM AND THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS FIX TO THIS ISSUE IS TO SAY "WELCOME TO THE SOUTH" AND LAUGH. THIS HAPPENS WHEN ITS MUGGY OUT, RAINING, COOL AND WET, EARLY MORNING OR LATE EVENING. IT ONLY GETS WORSE WITH THE WIPERS, ONLY GETS BETTER WITH HIGHER HEAT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. SO IN ESSENCE MOST OF THAT OR THOSE DAYS.

EVER SINCE THE FIRST DAY I TOOK DELIVERY OFY BRAND NEW CAMARO THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP EXCESSIVELY WHEN RUN INTO THE AC NO MATTER HOW IT'S SET. I'VE HAD IT BACK AT THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES INCLUDING ONCE WHERE THEY PERFORMED AN ON THE FLY REMOVAL OF A PIECE OF FOAM TO SUPPOSEDLY HELP SEAL THE DASH TO WINDSHIELD MODE ACTUATOR DOOR WHICH DIDN'T FIX IT. WINDSHIELD WAS REMOVED TO PERFORM THIS AND IT CRACKED HAD TO GET A NEW WINDSHIELD INSTALLED OVERALL THIS IS NOT ONLY AN ANNOYANCE BUT A SAFETY HAZZARD I CAN'T DRIVE IT IN THE SUMMER WITHOUT SWEATING INSIDE THE CABIN BECAUSE WITH THE AC ON AND DAY VENTS ONLY IT ACTS AS IF THERE IS AN ICE CHEST AND A TURBO FAN BLASTING ICE COLD AIR ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE HUMIDITY JUST PLASTERS THE WINDSHIELD WITH FOG ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. FOG TREATMENT SPRAYS DON'T WORK. NOTHING HAS. GM DOESN'T EVEN TRY TO SOLVE IT. MY WIFE WON'T DROVE THE CAR DUE TO THE VISION BEING IMPEDED. HAPPENS WHEN SITTING STILL OR DRIVING.

DEFECTIVE HVAC SYSTEM: EXCESSIVE MOISTURE ON OUTSIDE WINDSHIELD, DUE TO HVAC BLOWING AC COLD AIR ONTO WINDSHIELD INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHILE RUNNING AC UNIT. EVERY TIME I USE MY AC THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP WITH EXCESSIVE MOISTURE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND IT A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM, AS YOU HAVE TO RUN THE WIPERS TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD FOR ANY VISIBILITY FOGGING ISSUES. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE YET TO COME UP WITH A FIX, AS ALL 2016-2018 CHEVROLET CAMARO'S HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND YET THEY STILL SELL THEM AND ARE NOT INTERESTED IN FIXING THIS LIFE THREATENING ISSUE! GUESS GM IS WAITING FOR THEIR CAMARO CUSTOMERS TO GET KILLED FIRST BEFORE THEY ACT TO FIX THIS ONGOING PROBLEM.

WINDSHIELD FOGS UP AND BLOCKS VISIBILITY TREMENDOUSLY (ON A VEHICLE WITH LOW VISIBLE ALREADY, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS). THIS IS CAUSED BY COLD AIR LEAKING FROM THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER VENT, AND HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF DEFROSTER SETTING. IT BECOMES A PROBLEM ON HOT AND HUMID DAYS AND WHEN IT RAINS, RENDERING THE AC USELESS IF YOU WANT TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. FURTHER, TURNING THE AC OFF DOES NOT DECREASE THE FOGGING, NOR DOES DRIVING THE CAR OR SITTING STATIONARY. THE ONLY WAYS TO KEEP IT AT BAY ARE TO RUN HOT AIR (HORRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE ON HOT/HUMID DAYS) OR TO CONSTANTLY RUN THE WIPERS ON A HIGH SPEED. ASIDE FROM THOSE, RUNNING COLD AIR CONDITIONING (WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER OFF) CAUSES A DANGEROUS AMOUNT OF FOGGING IN THE AFOREMENTIONED CONDITIONS.

TAKATA RECALL EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR JUNE 8 2018 THE CAR HAS BEEN. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS FIRST THE STARTER WENT OUT ON ME IT WENT IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS THEN FEW DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK TO THE FLOOR ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT

'INCIDENT #1: ON JUNE 15, 2018, AFTER MAKING MY NORMAL COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK, I ARRIVED HOME. LATER THAT EVENING, WHEN I TRIED TO START MY CAR, I WAS NOT ABLE TO START IT AT ALL. I WAS UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE ISSUE WAS THE STARTER - AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT NEED TO BE OF CONCERN TO A NEW CAR OWNER. WHILE I WAS PROVIDED WITH A LOANER CAR, I WAS HIGHLY INCONVENIENCED DURING MY FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND. 'INCIDENT #2: WHILE DRIVING CAR TO AN APPOINTMENT ON THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 2018, THE GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK AND I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. I REPEATEDLY TRIED TO APPLY BRAKES BUT THIS DID NOT WORK. TO AVOID CRASHING, RISKING MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THE OTHER ROAD USERS, I HAD TO MAKE A QUICK DECISION. THIS DECISION WAS FOR ME TO KICK THE GAS PEDAL TO BREAK IT. IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A SAFE LOCATION, I LITERALLY HAD TO USE AN UMBRELLA IN PLACE OF THE GAS PEDAL TO GIVE POWER TO THE CAR.

INTERMITTENT SEAT BELT ALARM, TOOK CAR FOR 15 RIDE, UNBELTED, AND ALARM SOUNDED TWICE. ALSO NO OPEN DOOR ALARM

I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS APPROX. 8 DIFFERENT TIMES DUE TO MALFUNCTION OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS THIS VEHICLE STARTED THESE PROBLEMS 1 MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT ,IT ONLY HAD 95 MILES ON IT, IN THE MEAN TIME DUE TO GENERAL MOTORS CLOSING THE CASE AND NOT WILLING TO FIX THE ISSUE I HAVE CONTACTED THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU , I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED NBC NEWS " CALL 12 FOR ACTION" SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN STALLING IN THE IN TRAFFIC, THE COMPUTERS WILL GO BLANK AND WHEN THEY COME BACK ON THEY HAVE TO REBOOT, AS I MENTIONED I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN 8 DIFFERENT TIMES AND NOBODY CAN FIX THE ISSUE, I EVEN REQUESTED A FIELD MECHANIC WHICH GENERAL MOTORS SET UP AFTER THE BBB CONTACTED THEM. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN ON JUNE 12TH AND CANNOT GET ANYONE TO RETURN MY CALL THE ISSUES ARE STILL HAPPENING NBC NEWS CONTACTED ME YESTERDAY AND ASKED IF I HAD CONTACTED THE NHTSA DUE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE NBC NEWS " CALL 12 FOR ACTION" GAVE ME THIS WEBSITE SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT CONTACT YOU UNTIL I HAD FILED A COMPLAINT. SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT PEOPLE AT GENERAL MOTORS TRYING TO GET THIS VEHICLE FIXED AND HAVE BEEN GETTING THE RUNAROUND UNTIL THE BBB HAS GOT INVOLVED. THESE ISSUES HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN JUST SITTING IN A PARKING LOT I WOULD BE AT A STOP LIGHT AND GO TO ACCULTURATE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY STOP AND THE COMPUTERS IN THE VEHICLE WOULD BLACK OUT. CHEVROLET HAS TRIED 8 DIFFERENT TIMES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL EVERY TIME. GENERAL MOTORS EVEN HAD ME TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP THEY CANT SEEM TO FIND THE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

I HAVE REPORTED MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST WAS WITH MY MONITOR IT WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE PHONE, THE RADIO, AT TIMES IT WOULDN'T EVEN TURN ON. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO BRING IT IN WHEN MY CAR WAS ACTING UP. FINALLY IT ACTED UP BROUGHT IT IN AND SHOWED THEM IMMEDIATELY BUT THEY HAD TO KEEP MY CAR FOR A MONTH TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM BEFORE AGREEING TO FIX IT. MONITOR FINALLY REPLACED. NOW MY CAR INTERMITTENTLY LOSES ITS POWER STEERING. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES I FINALLY SNAPPED THE PICTURE ON MARCH 1ST. TOOK CAR IN AND WAS TOLD AN UPDATE NEEDED TO BE RUN AND THAT IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. WRONG MAY 30TH POWER STEERING WENT OUT DURING A DOWNPOUR OF RAIN AND REMAINED OUT FOR TWO DAYS BEFORE IT RECOVERED. TOOK TO THE DEALER WAS THERE 1 1/2 HOURS AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WAS TOLD I NEED TO COME BACK WHEN IT'S HAPPENING. I HAVE PICTURES SHOWING THE CAR SAYS SERVICE IS NEEDED BUT YET WHEN I TAKE THE CAR IN NOTHING'S WRONG. WHEN I CALLED I WAS TOLD THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT WAS ON MONDAY WHICH IS THE DAY I BROUGHT MY CAR IN. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO BE INCONVENIENCED BEFORE MY CAR IS FIXED? THIS CAR IS A LEMON. THE MONITOR WAS REPLACED AND THE CAR WASN'T EVEN A YEAR OLD. THE POWER STEERING IS GETTING WORSE EACH TIME AND IS GOING OUT FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH TIMES WHEN MY CAR HAS BEEN IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND HAS HAPPENED BOTH GOING STRAIGHT AND HAS GONE OUT WHILE I WAS TURNING. VERY UNSAFE WON'T GO ON A HIGHWAY BECAUSE THIS IS DANGEROUS. I WILL UPLOAD BOTH PICTURES OF THE DASH SHOWING THE MONITOR STATING " SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE."

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO H & L CHEVROLET IN DARIEN, CONNECTICUT, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. LOEHMANN BLASIUS CHEVROLET CADILLAC IN WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT ALSO COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKES NOT "GRABBING" AS INDICATED IN THE WORK ORDER; HOWEVER, THEY UPDATED THE ELECTRONIC BODY CONTROL MODULE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 8-4000764280. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 33,000. **TR CONSUMER STATED LOEHMAN BLASIUS WAS ABLE TO CALL ENGINEERS AT CHEVROLET CORPORATE FOR HELP SAID SNOW TIRES WERE CAUSING THE ISSUE AND GAVE THE CAR BACK. SWAPPED SNOW TIRES FOR FACTORY AS ADVISED AND ISSUE WITH BRAKES WAS STILL HAPPENING. BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH THE BRAKES AND BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS IN RAINY CONDITIONS. IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SCHEDULE ON APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM WHEN I ALSO NEED A LOANER AND WORK THE HOURS THEY ARE OPEN. UPDATED 10/22/18*JB
