2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2010 CAMARO SS WITH VERY LOW MILAGE. I NOTICED SOME RUST ON THE UPPER AND LOWER IMPACT BAR. THE UPPER BAR IS COMPLETLY RUSTED THROUGH. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO A FRONT END IMPACT. I UNDERSTAND THE WARRENTY IS 5 YEARS 100K FOR BODY PANELS. IS THERE ANYTHING GM CAN DO TO REPAIR THIS? PLEASE SEE THE 2 ATTACHMENTS, THE DIAGRAM IS PART #18, AND THE PIC IS THE HOLE IN THE BAR. THE RED COLOR IS GREASE THAT I APPLIED TO DETER AND ADDITIONAL RUSTING. I FIND THIS HIGHLY UNUSUAL BECAUSE THE CAR HAS BEEN IN FLORIDA THE ENTIRE LIFE SPAN.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED ALONG WITH A CHIME.

THE HEATER CORE IN THE CAMARO HAS BECOME FAULTY. IT IS LEAKING COOLANT ONTO THE PASSENGER FLOOR AREA AND ALSO PRODUCING STRONG FUMES WITHIN THE CABIN. IT ALSO MAKES VISIBILITY VERY DIFFICULT AS THE WINDOWS FOG UP AND THE DEFROSTER NO LONGER WORKS PROPERLY/

ONE EVENING I GOT IN MY CAR AND TURNED THE HEATER ON. IMMEDIATELY, MY WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP AND THE AIR COMING OUT OF THE VENTS HAD A VERY STRONG ODOR, WHICH SMELT LIKE COOLANT. FOR THE ENTIRE DRIVE (20 MIN) I COULD NOT GET THE WINDSHIELD TO DEFOG. THE NEXT DAY, I DROVE MY CAR AND IT WAS RUNNING EXTREMELY HOT (ABOUT 220-250F). WHEN I PARKED, I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS LEAKING COOLANT. I TRIED TO LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK, BUT IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE CAR- ABOUT WHERE THE RADIO IS. NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCATE THE LEAK, I FILLED UP THE RADIATOR WITH WATER TO GET ME HOME WITHOUT OVER HEATING. WHEN I GOT HOME I FOUND A LARGE PUDDLE OF COOLANT WHERE MY CAR WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND MANY OTHER CAMARO OWNERS WHO HAD FOGGY WINDSHIELDS, COOLANT SMELL IN HVAC SYSTEM, AND LEAKING COOLANT. THEY SAID THESE WERE THE SIGNS THAT THE HEATER CORE "WENT OUT." I THEN WENT TO LOOK NEAR MY HEATER CORE, AND SURE ENOUGH, I HAD COOLANT ON MY PASSENGERS FLOOR BOARD AND FOUND DRIPS OF COOLANT BELOW THE HEATER CORE. MANY OF THE CAMARO OWNERS HAVE SHARED THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH HAVING THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE FRONT SEATS, WINDSHIELD, AND DASH HAVE TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE. THIS IS ON AVERAGE ABOUT A $2000 REPAIR AT A DEALERSHIP. WITH HOW MANY CASES THERE SEEMS TO BE JUST FROM A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE, THIS SHOULD BE ISSUED A RECALL! THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN- HOT COOLANT COULD HAVE DRIPPED ON MY PASSENGER'S FEET AND BURNT THEM.
