2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEMS WITH TIRES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, HE FELT THE VEHICLE START TO RUN DIFFERENT AND THERE WAS A SMELL OF RUBBER. EARLIER DURING THE DRIVE, HE RECEIVED AN ALERT THAT THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW, SO HE STOPPED AND ADDED AIR. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS LOW ON PRESSURE. THE CONSUMER PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT AND DESTROYED BEYOND REPAIR. THE CONSUMER THEN CALLED ONSTAR AND WAS GIVEN THE TIRE SIZE OF HIS TIRES, ONLY TO DISCOVER THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WERE SMALLER THAN THE TIRES ON THE FRONT. THE CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT DUE TO AN ERROR THAT WAS MADE AT THE FACTORY AND THE MONEY THAT WAS SPENT TO REPLACE THE TIRE. *JB

THIS COMPLAINT IS TO MAKE THE NHTSA AWARE OF A SAFETY HAZARD THAT EXISTS WITH CERTAIN 2011 CHEVROLET CAMAROS. I OWN A 1LT EQUIPPED WITH THE RS PACKAGE. THIS PACKAGE INCLUDES 20" RIMS. UNFORTUNATELY, SHORTLY AFTER TAKING POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE, I LEARNED THAT GM EQUIPS RS CAMAROS WITH PIRELLI P-ZERO TIRES. THESE TIRES ARE RATED AS "SUMMER ONLY" TIRES AND WILL POSE AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO THOSE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE IN SNOW, OR TEMPERATURES BELOW 45 DEGREES F--ESSENTIALLY MAKING THE VEHICLE UNDRIVABLE IN WINTER WEATHER. GM, NOR THE DEALERSHIP, WARNED THE DRIVER THAT THESE TIRES CAN ONLY BE USED IN THE SUMMER. UNAWARE DRIVERS MAY BECOME STUCK OR LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH, DUE TO THE TIRE'S LOSS OF TRACTION AND HARDENING OF RUBBER IN COLD/WINTER CONDITIONS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO (NA) EQUIPPED WITH PIRELLI P0 TIRES, SIZE 245/45/R20 FRONT, 275/40/R20 IN THE REAR.

HE STATED THAT THE TIRES HAD NO TRACTION AND ON THE TIRE IT WAS NOTATED "SUMMER ONLY". THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE TIRES THAT WERE INSTALLED BY THE FACTORY AND REFERRED HIM TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150.

THE NEW CHEVROLET CAMARO HAS A DEFECT IN THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE CLUTCH TO BURN OUT AFTER ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL RECOGNIZED OVER THE INTERNET AND CLEARLY GM KNOWS ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALREADY DESIGNED A NEW CLUTCH WHICH WAS INSTALLED ON MY CAR LAST WEEK. HOWEVER THEY DID NOT NOTIFY ME AS A NEW OWNER OF THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DEFECT AND DID NOT EVEN NOTIFY MY DEALER UNTIL I BROUGHT THE CAR IN. I KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM A MONTH AGO BUT NEVER CONSIDERED THE POSSIBILITY OF A CLUTCH PROBLEM IN A CAR WITH ONLY 5,000 MILES ON IT. HAD I KNOWN OF THE PROBLEM, I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN ELECTIVELY RATHER THAN AFTER I COULD NO LONGER GET INTO 1ST GEAR OR REVERSE! *TR
