2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

IT APPEARS THE HEATER CORE IS LEAKING AFTER ALMOST 109,000 MILES. REPLACED THE HEATER HOSE DUE TO LEAK APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AGO. COOLANT SMELL INSIDE THE CAR. DAMP/SMELL OF COOLANT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. SEEMS MANY 5TH GENERATION CAMARO OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE. NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE THAT I CAN FIND? *TR

ON OCTOBER 8TH THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHILE RUNNING ( SOUTH TEXAS HEAT I WANTED TO COOL THE CAR OFF ). THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 6SPD MANUAL TRANSMISSION THEREFORE THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL, THE HAND BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. AS I WALKED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY I HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE. IT WAS LOUD ENOUGH TO CAUSE ALARM, WHEN I LOOKED BACK AT MY VEHICLE IT WAS ROLLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY & INTO THE STREET. I WAS ABLE TO JUMP IN & APPLY THE BRAKE BEFORE IT CAUSED ANY DAMAGE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED & REPAIRED, I EXPLAINED TO THE LADY WHO ASSISTED ME WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, SHE WANTED ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN ON 4 DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT. I FOUND THIS TO BE UNACCEPTABLE. SINCE THIS WAS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE I WAS NOT WILLING TO WAIT THAT LONG TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I TOOK IT IN ON THE 9TH & WAS TOLD ON THE 10TH THAT THE CABLE TO MY HAND/PARKING BRAKE HAD INDEED FAILED & BUSTED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY GM. I ASKED HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED ON A 4YR OLD CAR THAT IS USUALLY PARKED ON FLAT SURFACES & IN GEAR WITH THE HANDBRAKE ENGAGED AS THE OWNERS MANUAL SUGGEST. I WAS NOT GIVEN AN ANSWER, I HAVE REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO GM'S & AM WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS OVERHEATED AND MELTED THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSEMBLIES. THE HEAT ALSO CAUSED THE REAR PLASTIC BUMPER TO MELT IN A SMALL AREA AT ONE ASSEMBLY. *TR

AIRBAG WARNING FIRST STARTED APPEARING ON THE CAR. NOW IS OFF AND ON CONTINUOUSLY REPORTING. WHY IS A RELATIVELY COMMON FAULT ON SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY COMPONENT NOT A RECALL? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE IMMOBILIZER INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START.

CLUTCH PEDAL STAYED LOW TO THE FLOOR INTERMITTENTLY AND STAYS LOW DURING HARD ACCELERATION FOR A STOP AND DURING A SHIFT. THE 9/1/2014 INCIDENT I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 70 MPH AND DOWN SHIFTED FOR EXITING. THE CLUTCH STAYED TO THE FLOOR AS I CAME TO A STOP AND WOULD NOT RETURN. CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. CLUTCH STILL DID NOT RETURN TO OPERATING POSITION. I HAD TO SPEED SHIFT THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE IT TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR. REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AND HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND A SAFETY ISSUE. IF A DRIVER PANICKED IN THIS SITUATION IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THE CAR AND POSSIBLY OTHER TRAVELERS. *TR

STRANGE SMELL COMING FROM AC FOR A WHILE. 2 WEEKS AGO AC STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS THE EVAPORATOR CORE. HE REPLACED IT AND IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE AND TEDIOUS JOB. READ SOME FORUM AND OTHER WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME SMELL AND EVENTUALLY THE SAME PROBLEM. A CAR WITH ONLY 60,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR
