2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE SEAT WOULD MOVE FORWARD AND WHILE ACCELERATING THE SEAT WOULD MOVE BACKWARDS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LATCH AND LOCKING MECHANISM; HOWEVER, THAT HAS NOT CORRECTED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IF THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH THE SEAT WOULD FAIL TO STAY IN PLACE. THE FAILURE COULD ALSO CAUSE MAJOR BACK INJURY AND A TRAGEDY TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR IS 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO SS WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION (LS3). PROBLEM: CRUISE CONTROL CAN BE ACTIVATED WHEN THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL. STEPS TO REPLICATE: DRIVE NORMALLY AND GO ABOVE 40MPH, AFTER WHICH SHIFT DOWN TO NEUTRAL AND ACTIVATE CRUISE CONTROL. RESULT: THE CAR WILL ACTIVATE CRUISE CONTROL AND WILL START TO REDLINE THE ENGINE. AS A RESULT IF YOU SHIFT IN TO A LOWER GEAR, THE VEHICLE WILL JUMP TO A VERY HIGH SPEED SINCE THE TACHOMETER IS REDLINING, POTENTIALLY DAMAGING THE ENGINE AND MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR. PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPLICATED ON TWO DIFFERENT MODELS OF THE SAME VEHICLE. HAVE NOT REPORTED TO GM BECAUSE THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE LOVES TO ARGUE AND DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON INTERSTATE 80 FROM RENO TO SAN FRANCISCO 55-65 MPH, WITHOUT WARNING MY 2010 CAMARO HAD 100 % LOSS OF ALL POWER AND OPERATING FUNCTIONS; OUT OF CONTROL DOWN THE MOUNTAIN DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY JAMMING INTO THE GUARDRAIL, TRAPPING MYSELF IN CAR. NOTHING WORKED...NO ONSTAR...I CALLED MY DAUGHTER IN RENO AND TOLD HER TO SEND HELP..I WAS IN SHOCK. I HAD NO CLUE WHAT HAPPENED OR WHY..BUT AFTER THE TRAFFIC SLOWED DOWN I EXITED THE VEHICLE, STILL NO HELP OR RESPONSE. CAR STARTED WITH LIMITED ABILITIES 25 MPH; WAS ADVISED THAT IT WAS OKAY TO DRIVE BACK TO RENO AND "BRING IT ON IN" AT MY CONVENIENCE. NOTHING WAS DONE. THE CAR READY BEFORE THE SHUTTLE GOT BACK TO THE SHOP. THE SERVICE MEN SHRUGGED IT OFF AND TOLD ME TO WATCH FOR THE WARNING SIGNS; I CAN'T HAVE ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THESE CARS ACROSS THE BOARD??!I HAD NO WARNING SIGNS..I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT KILLED AND DID NOT KILL ANYBODY WITH MY IMAGINARY CAR PROBLEMS. 2ND INCIDENT ALL SYSTEMS WENT CRAZY, EXTREME HEAT COMING FROM DASH, NO HEAT TURNED ON, FALSE READINGS, ALL WARNING LIGHTS AND GAUGES WENT OFF, POWER LOCKS DON'T WORK, NO MORE AUTO START I REQUESTED SERVICE WITH NO RESPONSE FOR 5 DAYS. I LEFT A VERY EXPRESSIVE MESSAGE FOR FLEET MANAGER AND SERVICE DEPT FINALLY RESPONDED. BAD SERVICE..RUDE. I PAID OVER 300 FOR CAR RENTAL GM PICKED UP 1 DAY THEY CONCLUDED AGAIN NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR. MALFUNCTION WAS CAUSED BY SNOW AND COLD WEATHER (NOT ACCEPTABLE)BECAUSE IT WASN'T DRIVEN IN SNOW. 3RD TIME DRIVING WITH KIDS ON FREEWAY IN RENO...GUESS WHAT NO POWER!! WAS ADVISED ONCE AGAIN THAT I COULD DRIVE IT ON IN THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY. WELL I LEARNED THE GM SECRET. LET HER SIT AND SHE'LL RESET. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF A DEATH CAUSED BY A $50000 TIME BOMB. DREAM CAR NOT WORTH A LIFE OR THE FEAR OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN EVERYTIME YOU START IT. *TR
