2016 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

2016 CAMARO 2LT RS WOULD NOT START 11.23.2017. AFTER CHECKING THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT, WATER WAS FOUND BELOW THE TRUNK DECK LID. DRIED THE AREA OUT AND WAS ABLE TO JUMP START VEHICLE. DROVE 29 MILES AND AS I NEARED MY DESTINATION, YOU COULD SMELL SMOKE. OPENED UP THE TRUNK AND FOUND SMOKE PLUS MELTED AND SINGED FUSES THAT POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. VEHICLE TOWED TO CAPITAL AUTO GROUP 11.24.17. ADVISED DEALER THAT WE WOULD ESCALATE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS, BUT AUTHORIZED REPAIRS. DEALERSHIP LATER SAID THEY REVIEWED WITH GM AND IT DID NOT QUALIFY FOR GM CUSTOMER GOODWILL PROGRAM. THEY REPAIRED THE WIRING AND THEN CONCLUDED THAT THE WATER LEAK WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE TRUNK SEAL. REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED 12.26.2017. ASKED THE MANAGER TO RETURN OUR CALL, WHICH NEVER HAPPENED. ON 1.30.2018, WE CALLED GM AND OPENED A CASE WITH THEM. GM ADVISED THAT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT FOLLOW PROTOCOL AND GM HAS NO RECORD OF THE DEALERSHIP NOTIFYING THEM THE VEHICLE FUSES WERE MELTED. ON 3.7.2018, CHECKED STATUS OF CLAIM WITH GM AND FOUND THAT THEY CLOSED THE CASE. THEY STATED THAT WHEN THEY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE TOLD THE REPAIRS HAD BEEN COMPLETED, SO NO FURTHER INVESTIGATION WOULD WAS NEEDED. I ASKED MORE THAN ONCE IF THEY WERE NOT CONCERNED WITH VEHICLE SAFETY AND CARS POTENTIALLY CATCHING FIRE. THEY STATED THAT THE REPAIRS HAD BEEN COMPLETED AND THEY WERE NOT INVESTIGATING FURTHER, EVEN THOUGH CAPITOL AUTO GROUP DID NOT FOLLOW GM PROTOCOL ON A SAFETY ISSUE. I EVEN STATED 'SO YOU ARE GOING TO WAIT FOR VEHICLES TO CATCH FIRE BEFORE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR GM' AND RECEIVED THE SAME RESPONSE. I LET THEM KNOW THAT A CLAIM WOULD BE FILED WITH NHTSA SO THIS COULD BE INVESTIGATED. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED 01.19.16 AND WAS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD WHEN THIS OCCURRED. CUSTOMER RETAINED MELTED FUSES, PHOTOS DEALERSHIP PROVIDED AND THE REPAIR RECEIPTS.

AT TIMES WHEN MAKE A LEFT TURN, THERE'S A KNOCKING NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COMING FROM THE REAR RIGHT UNDERSIDE BY THE TIRE OR FROM IN THE TRUNK. IT'S NOT CONSISTENT BUT IT DOES IT EVERYDAY.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN SEPT. 2016 AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS AT RANDOM TIMES THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A BOOM SOUND WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM SPEEDS OVER 55 MPH OR DURING ACCELERATION FROM STOP AND GO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IT'S AS IF THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO CATCH UP WITH THE ACCELERATOR. I GET MONTHLY DIAGNOSTICS AND NOTHING SHOWS UP AS AN ISSUE.

THE BREAKS FAILED ON MY 2016 CAMARO. LOST ALL POWER TO BREAKS ON CITY STREET THEY PULSED AND VIBRATED ON DRY PAVEMENT BUT HAD NO GRIP AND HAD TO STOP BY USING TRANSMISSION. TURNED CAR OFF THEN BACK ON BREAKS WORKED AFTER THAT. DEALER AND CHEVY SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG AND NO ERROR CODES AND THEY HAVE NO COMPLAINTS ON RECORD. VERY LUCKY NO ONE WAS HURT. WHOLE NEWS GROUPS ON WEB TALK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.CAMARO6.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=459802 WHY ARE THERE NO RECALLS AND WHY IS GM DENYING THERE IS A PROBLEM??? DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING CAR.

THE CARS PUSH BUTTON START IS NOT WORKIMG TO START THE CAR, INTERMITTANT. THE CAR SHUTS OFF IN TRAFFIC. THE CARS NEGITIVE BATTERY CABLE, IGNITION SWITCH, WERE REPAIRED BUT THE CAR S HESITANT TO START AGAIN. THE ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO DIE AGAIN WHIKE DRIVING. THE CAR IS HESITANT ON ACCELERATION. THE CAR WAS DEEMED A LEMON NOVEMBER 2017 FOR SEVERAL ENGINE, SAFTY, AND SUSPENSION ISSUES BUT GENERAL MOTORS IS KEEPING THIS CASE IN APPEALS DUE TO NON-COMPLIANCE TO REPLACE THE UNSAFE CAR AWARDED BY THE ARBITRATOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED AND THE GLASS SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TIPOTEX CHEVROLET (1600 N. EXPRESSWAY 77/83, BROWNSVILLE, TX 78521), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,800.

THE TRANSMISSION FAILS. THE CAR SHUTS OFF IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING OR WITHOUT CODES SOMETIMES IN A PARKIMG LOT AND SOMETIMES ON THE HIGHWAY. WONT START AND SOMETIMES WONT SHUT OFF. THE TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON AND SLOWS THE CAR TO 35MPH ON DRY PAVEMENT. THERE IS A CLUNK WHEN SHIFTING OR DRIVING UNDER THE CAR. THE CRANK SHAFT HAS BEEN REPLACED BECAUSE OF THRUSTING ME FORWARD, HARD SHIFTS AND DELAYED SHIFTING.

CAR IS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING ON ROADWAYS. CAR NOT SHUTTING OFF WHEN PUSHING THE IGNITION BUTTON. CAR NOT STARTING AT HOME OR WHILE IN THE COMMUNITY. ALL OF THIS LEAVING ME STRANDED FOR PERIODS OF TIME OR HOLDING UP TRAFFIC. NO CODES BEING THROWN TO DASH WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THE CHASSIS BOUNCES AND STUDDERS AS IF SOMTHING IS ABOUT TO CEESE UP AND THE DRIVE SHAFT CLUMKS. STABILITRAK LIGHT HAS BEEN FIXED SEVERAL TIMES, TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON AS WELL. NUMEROUS TIMES NOT JUST ONCE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARED, THE CHECK-ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND IMMEDIATELY, THE ON-STAR SERVICE TECHNICIAN CALLED AND ASKED THE CONTACT IF HE WAS IN A CRASH. THE CONTACT RESPONDED THAT HE WAS NOT IN A CRASH AND INFORMED THE TECHNICIAN THAT THE CHECK-ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED A TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO GO TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT: MARBLE FALLS CHEVROLET, BUICK, MARBLE FALLS TX, WHERE A TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED BUT THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT IT WAS THE DEALER'S RESPONSIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83.

WHEN SUNLIGHT IS REFLECTED OFF THE SILVER/CHROME-COLORED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TRIM, IT IS FOCUSED INTENSELY INTO INTO MY EYES MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SAFELY. THIS OCCURS WHILE PARKED, STATIONARY, OR DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR A HIGHWAY. WHILE TURNING, IT MAY OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY AND SUDDENLY DEPENDING ON IF THE SUN STRIKES IT DIRECTLY. IT MAY ALSO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE WHILE I USE THE BACKUP CAMERA.
