I TOOK MY CAR IN AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED DUE TO MY CAR RUNNING LOUDER THAN NORMAL AND PROBLEMS WITH THE IDLING OF THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW TIMING CHAINS AND IT WOULD BE ANYWHERE FROM 2-3 THOUSAND DOLLARS. I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING AND SEE THAN A LOT OF PEOPLE HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TIMING CHAINS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT GM HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES FOR OTHER CARS MADE AROUND THE SAME TIME AS MY VEHICLE FOR TIMING CHAINS. WHEN IS GM GOING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM OF THE TIMING CHAINS ON THE CAMARO AS IT HAS THE OTHER MODELS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS RIDICULOUS FOR GM TO EXPECT THE BUYER TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND NOT CAUSED DUE TO ANYTHING DONE BY THE BUYER. *TR

THE AC COMPRESSOR IN VEHICLE KEEPS GOING OUT. ITS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES SINCE OCTOBER 2014. IT DOES NOT COOL VEHICLE, MECHANICS HAVE CHECKED FOR LEAKS AND OTHER ISSUES THAT MAY BE CAUSING IT TO GO OUT BUT IT JUST SEEMS TO BE A BAD OEM PART. AFTER EACH FIX THE AC WORKS FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR LESS BEFORE GOING OUT AGAIN. NOW THE COMPANY IS REFUSING TO SEND A REPLACEMENT OR AN UPGRADED PART FOR A FIX THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY STILL AND WITH SUMMER IN THE SOUTH COMING AND NO AC THIS CAN BE A PROBLEM EVEN WITH WINDOWS DOWN. THE MECHANIC FOUND A TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE OF THE COMPANY KNOWING THIS WAS AN BACK IN 2011 YET I RECEIVED NO BULLETIN PRIOR TO 2014 OR ASSISTANCE GETTING THIS FIXED. I MADE CALLS TO THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT AND BECAUSE I WAS JUST OVER THE 80,000 MILES FOR THIS PART BUT UNDER 100,000 MILES BUMPER TO BUMPER THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND NO ASSISTANCE WITHOUT PAYING AN ADDITIONAL FEE TO DIAGNOSE AND REPLACE AT OVER $1000 AFTER I ALREADY FORKED OUT $400 ORIGINALLY. *TR

DUE TO A STRUCTURAL DEFECT OF THE CAR , WATER ACCUMULATED AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED COMPLETELY. THE DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THAT THERE WAS A STRUCTURAL DEFECT RELATED TO THE SUNROOF . THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER SINCE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED . THEREFORE THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING , AND I WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE CAR SINCE ALL POWER FAILED . THIS WAS AN IMMEDIATE LIFE THREATENING DANGER . THE DEALERSHIP " REPAIRED " THE PROBLEM AFTER AN EXTENSIVE ASSESSMENT WHICH INCLUDED CORRESPONDENCE WITH GENERAL MOTORS . THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $1200 . MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS MAY BE A LIFE THREATENING SAFETY HAZARD IN OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL . I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED THE FULL AMOUNT OF THIS REPAIR SINCE THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT . THE OUTCOME OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC . PLEASE ADVISE ME ON HOW I WOULD IMPLEMENT THE PROCESS OF REIMBURSEMENT . *TR

FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS THERE HAS BEEN A TEAR IN THE TOP OF THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IT APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING UNDER THE DASH IS PUSHING UP TO CREATE THE SLIT IN THE DASH. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT IS THE AIRBAG AND I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS GETTING READY TO GO OFF ON ITS OWN OR EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT AS IT IS GROWING. THE SLIT OR TEAR IS APROX. 4 INCHES LONG AND THE BUMP UP IS TO THE RIGHT OF IT. *TR

AIR BAG SENSOR BEGAN GOING OFF ON MY 2010 CAMARO ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ALMOST $1000 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHICH AIRBAG SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THEY ALSO COULD NOT TELL ME IF THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY IF VEHICLE IS HIT. THEY DID LOOK FOR AIR BAG RECALLS AND FOUND NONE; HOWEVER, THE FACT THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE IF THEY AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT I AM ASKING YOU TO LOOK INTO. A CAR THIS NEW SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANY SAFETY ISSUES. ALL SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AT THE GM DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. *TR

2/25/15 - (CAMARO 2010 SS2, AUTO) UPON STARTUP THE "CHECK AIRBAG " ALARM SOUNDED AND DISPLAYED FOR ABOUT 5-8 SECONDS, AND THEN NORMALIZED. I DROVE ABOUT TOWN 15-20 MILES WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. 3/3/15 - WHILE DRIVING UNTO CITY STREET, THE "CHECK AIRBAG" ALARM SOUNDED AND FLASHED A MOMENTARY NOTICE TO HAVE AIRBAG SERVICED. I DROVE ABOUT 350 MILES, STOPPING AND STARTING AT VARIOUS TIMES WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENCE. 3/14/15 - WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET (ABOUT 2 MILES FROM HOME), THE SAME OCCURRENCE AS ABOVE WAS NOTED. I KEEP MY CAMARO SPOTLESS AND MOSTLY IN THE GARAGE. I'VE DISMISSED THESE INCIDENTS, BUT AFTER READING OTHER REPORTS OF SIMILAR RESPONSES, I FEEL COMPELLED TO MAKE OFFICIAL NOTE THEREOF. *TR
