2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF; I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL REPORTS ONLINE OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 1 YEAR. WHEN I GET TO 55MPH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKE SO BAD, IT'S UNBEARABLE. THIS HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALIGNMENT. THEY ALIGNED FOR ME. WELL IT RAN PRETTY GOOD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN IT STARTED BACK SHAKING. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS OR BRAKES OR SOMETHING TO THAT NATURE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A 18 WHEELER WHEN I STOP. THE ROTORS OR SOMETHING MAKE SOME KIND OF WOBBLING NOISE WHEN I DRIVE. I TURN THE RADIO DOWN QUITE OFTEN SO I CAN HEAR IF ANYTHING IS COMING OFF FROM THE BRAKES. I'M NOT PARANOID, BECAUSE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR ASK ME ALL THE TIME, "WHAT'S THAT NOISE". FOR ME TO HAVE A DECENT CAR LIKE THE CAMARO, I DON'T UNDERSTAND. CAN YOU PLEASE RUN A THOROUGH CHECK ON THE TIRES, ROTORS, BRAKES ON THESE CARS. ALSO CHECK THE TRUNK TOO, BECAUSE SOMETIME MY TRUNK WON'T OPEN WITH THE KEY NOR BY PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I PURCHASED A CAR OVER $30K AND I'M NOT GETTING ANY ENJOYMENT OUT OF IT. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE TOO FAR BECAUSE THE ROTORS OR SOMETHING MAY COME OFF. HELP PLEASE. *JS

WITH NO ONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, I TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF. THE DRIVERS PANEL AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING. IT WOULD GO OFF WITH SOME TURNS OFF THE CAR. LEFT OR RIGHT DIDN'T MATTER. THIS WENT ON FOR A FEW MONTHS. IF SOMEONE SAT IN THE SEAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO MOVE AROUND FOR THE SENSOR TO PICK UP THEY WERE IN THE SEAT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN THE DRIVERS PANEL EVENTUALLY STAYED A SOLID LIGHT AND NO LONGER FLASHED. *JS

I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. IN ADDITION TO THE VEHICLE LOSING POWER, REDUCED SPEED VEHICLE DROPPED FROM 60 MPH TO 25MPH. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE VEHICLES COMPUTER HAD 5 ERROR MESSAGES & JUST NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE SECOND TIME OCCURRED A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER. I ADDRESSED THE MANUFACTURER & DEALERSHIP MANAGER...THEY SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THEY RESET THE COMPUTER AGAIN, AFTER THE 3RD INCIDENT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT THE DEALERSHIP PROVIDED ME A RENTAL & THOROUGHLY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO MAKING A GRINDING NOISE BETWEEN 20-30MPH BETWEEN 2ND & 3RD GEAR. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED BY AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALERSHIP SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THIS TIME THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS THE MAIN CULPRIT, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST ENTIRELY VOID OF OIL....THIS WAS IN BETWEEN THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE INTERVAL- APPRX HAD DRIVEN IN 4700 MILES THE GRINDING NOISE WAS SAID TO BE DUE TO LACK OF OIL BUT NO OIL LEAK WAS DETECTED. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE IN SEVERAL AUTO FORUMS & DISCOVERED THAT THE HIGH OUTPUT 3.6 LITER V6 ENGINES HAD A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR BURNING OIL & CAUSING THE ENGINE TO WEAR & BREAKDOWN PREMATURELY. DEALER ADVISED ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN EVERY 1000 MILES TO CHECK HOW QUICKLY THE OIL WAS BURNING IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THEY CONFIRMED THAT IF INDEED IT WAS BURNING OIL THEY WOULD REPLACE THE ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS, LOSS OF POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MULTIPLE TIMES IS VERY ALARMING & WAS NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY GM CUSTOMER SUPPORT - DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR WAS MORE HELPFUL THAN THE MANAGER. *JS

A ELECTRICAL FUSE SHORT HAS CAUSED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TO NO LONGER ACTIVATE/ TURN ON WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. THUS, WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT, THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. BOTH THE FUSE AND THE MODULE ARE REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED. NO DAMAGE OR CHANGE WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE TO CAUSE THE SHORTAGE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

GOING OVER A BUMP IN ROAD OR HOLE IN ROAD THE STRUT BOTTOMS OUT AND MAKES LOUD NOISE. *TR

ORIGINAL OEM CLUTCH FAILURE DUE TO BAD DESIGN, NO REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE FROM GM. FAILURE OF CLUTCH AT HIGH SPEEDS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE AND POSSIBLE DEATH TO DRIVER AND OTHER SURROUNDING VEHICLES. *JS

PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR MALFUNCTION. SEEMS LIKE MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. I HAD TO PAY OVER $800 TO REPAIR AT DEALERSHIP. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR MAT WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS A WEEKEND SO THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED. THE NEXT MORNING I STARTED LOOKING UP RECALLS ON MY CAR. THE RESULT WAS NO RECALLS ON MY CAR BUT I FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE I'M HAVING. I TOOK MY CONCERN TO THE CHEVY DEALER THEY DIAGNOSED MY CAR WITH A FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT THE COST WAS $800 TO REPLACE I IMMEDIATELY CALLED GM DIRECTLY AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERN. AFTER TWO DAY AND MANY PHONE CALLS TO THE MAN AT GM THAT WAS HANDLING MY CASE THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. THIS IS FAULTY PRODUCT THAT IS PUT IN VEHICLES THAT WE THE CONSUMERS ARE DRIVING OUR FAMILIES AROUND IN. GM NEEDS TO GET ON THE BALL , RECALL THESE FAULTY PARTS BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY. MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DOES NOT WORK SO I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH A PASSENGER. I AM COMPLETELY DISGUSTED WITH THE SERVICE AND THE PRODUCT GM PRODUCES. *TR
