2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST MAKING TURNS. FROM A STOP MAKING A LEFT OR A RIGHT TURN, THE CAR LOSES IT POWER STEERING RANDOMLY. NO CODES OR LIGHTS ON DASH. *TR

THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A "HILL ASSIST" FEATURE FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION CARS. IT DOES NOT RELEASE PROPERLY OR ACTIVATES IMPROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HOLDS EXCESSIVELY LONG ON INCLINES, WILL NOT RELEASE WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC OR EVEN ACTIVATES ON LEVEL GROUND WITH NO INCLINE! I HAVE COMPLAINED MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE GENERAL MOTORS SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHEN I TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE AND IT HAS BEEN CHECKED REPEATEDLY. IT IS ALWAYS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED!" I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE SERVICE PERSONNEL INCLUDING THE SHOP SUPERVISOR AND THEY ALL KNOW IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES! IT SEEMS TO BE A JOKE THAT THE SYSTEM OPERATES SO POORLY EXCEPT THAT I BELIEVE IT IS INEVITABLE THAT IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. EITHER TO MYSELF OR TO SOMEONE ELSE. THE MESSAGE BOARDS ARE FULL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FEATURE AND IT IS UNIVERSALLY DESPISED BY EVERYONE ON EVERY VEHICLE IT IS INSTALLED ON! I HAVE ASKED FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED OR REMOVED BY THE DEALER YET THEY TELL ME THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO SO. THE MESSAGE BOARDS HAVE FOUND A WORK AROUND SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING A YAW SENSOR WITHOUT THE LATERAL ACCELEROMETER THAT THE VEHICLE USES! I AM WILLING FOR THE DEALER TO DO THIS AT THEIR EXPENSE NOT MINE, BUT THEY REFUSE. IT IS A GM PART INSTALLED ON A GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE AND DOES NOT DISABLE THE STABILITY SYSTEM. ONLY THE HILL ASSIST PORTION. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE CLUTCH AND BRAKES AS I HAVE LEARNED TO OVER REV THE ENGINE TO DRAG IT OUT OF THIS LOCK POSITION TO SMOOTHLY MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. I AM COMPLETELY AWARE OF THE TECHNOLOGY AS I AM AN ASE MASTER AND L-1 CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN WITH OVER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING INCLUDING GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIPS! *TR

AFTER MY CAMARO STALLED AND I REPORTED IT I CALLED ONSTAR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD 43,000+ MILES ON THE CAR THE VIN WAS REGISTERING.
