2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

I HAVE WHAT I BELIEVE A HEATER CORE GOING BAD. WITH THE HEAT ON I HAVE A VERY STRONG MAPLE SYRUP SMELL AND MY WINDSHIELD FOGS UP REALLY BAD WHEN IT IS COLD OUT. I ONLY HAVE 30K MILES ON MY CAMARO AND RARELY USE THE HEAT. IT IS OBVIOUSLY LEAKING. IT US A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT CAN GET DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN YOUR ENTIRE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP, ALSO BREATHING IN THE ANTIFREEZE FUMES. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR CAME ON. IT GOES ON/OFF AT WILL. IT APPEARS AFTER READING OTHER POST, THAT THIS IS A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE SEAT AND THE DEALERS KNOW ABOUT IT. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL? I AM NOT SURE IF AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY ACCIDENTALLY OR IF IT WON'T DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT. EITHER WAY, IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT, THEY ARE SURE THE GET INJURED. *TR

THIS CAR IS ONLY DRIVEN IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. ON OCCASION I TAKE IT OUT WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE AND THERE ISN'T ANY SNOW JUST TO WASH IT AND RUN IT BECAUSE IT STAYS PARKED IN THE WINTER. WHILE I WAS OUT,THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IT NEEDS A TIMING CHAIN ALREADY AND IT WILL COST BETWEEN 800.00-1,000.00 TO FIX. OF COURSE IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE 5 YEAR/ 100,000 MILE WARRANTY BECAUSE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN 2009 WHICH IS OVER THE 5 YEARS BUT STILL UNDER THE MILEAGE. I DID MY RESEARCH ON IT AND THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE TIMING BELT ON THESE ENGINES BUT GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE CONSUMERS ARE DISHING OUT MORE MONEY. THIS IS SOMETHING GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS! *TR

DRIVING A 2010 CHEVY CAMARO, MY REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY VEHICLE WENT FROM 60 MPH TO 30 INSTANTLY ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ ON THE FORUMS AND THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO A TON OF GM CHEVY CAR OWNERS. THIS COULD CAUSE SOMEBODY TO DIE, AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. SAVE LIVES DO SOMETHING. REDUCED ENGINE POWER SERVICE STABILITRAK ( THIS WAS THE ISSUE ). *JS

TRUNK LATCH JUST STOPPED OPENING TRUNK. IT STILL MAKE THE SOUND THAT IT ALWAYS MADE BUT IT DOESN'T RELEASE THE LID. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE TRUNK IS TO PULL THE EMERGENCY TRUNK RELEASE INSIDE THE TRUNK AS THERE IS NO MANUAL KEY OPERATED RELEASE OF THE TRUNK FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUNK. MANY OTHERS HAVE VOICED THIS EXACT COMPLAINT POSTED ONLINE ON AUTOMOBILE FORUMS. ALSO REPLACING THE BULBS IN THE HEADLIGHTS SEEMS TO PRODUCE VERY POOR LIGHT FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. THE REPLACEMENT BULBS WERE 4300K HID BULBS 35W JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURERS EQUIPMENT, PURCHASED FROM A VERY RESPECTABLE PARTS SUPPLY COMPANY. *TR
