2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

PASSENGER AIRBAG ILLUMINATED WHEN A SOMEONE SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND NOW STAYS ILLUMINATED WHETHER SITTING IN THE SEAT OR NOT. LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM AND REALIZED GM HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECT THAT IS CAUSING MANY OF CONSUMERS THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE DECIDED TO NOT GET IT FIXED DUE TO THE COST OF REPAIRING AND THE FACT THAT GM SHOULD BE THE ONES FIXING THEIR SAFTEY DEFECTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE FLICKERED. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT HEADLAMPS ALSO FLICKERED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE ROUGH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SIMPSON CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 10150 TRASK AVE, GARDEN GROVE, CA 92843, AND THE ECU WAS RESET HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.*DT*DT*JB

THE TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED AND IS FAILING. DEALER ADMITS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT OTHER MODEL CARS WITH SAME ENGINE HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENTS. ALTHOUGH IT'S A KNOW ISSUE DEALER IS CHARGING $2000 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TIMING CHAIN WITH THE ONE CHEVROLET SWITCH TO IN THE NEXT MODEL YEAR CAMARO AS THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. *TR

THE HID HEADLAMPS ON THE 2010 CAMARO SS ARE NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE THE ROAD WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS OVER THE LAST YEAR HAVE BECOME UNACCEPTABLY DIM. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF 2010 CAMARO SS THAT REPORT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MANY POINTING TO THE PROBLEM BEING THE HID SYSTEM REFLECTOR HOUSING GETTING DAMAGED BY THE HEAT FROM THE BULB CAUSING INSUFFICIENT LEVEL OF LIGHT BEING REFLECTED OUT IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. WITH THE SEVERELY DIMINISHED VISIBILITY FROM THE HEADLIGHTS A DRIVER CANNOT SEE FURTHER THAN 30 FEET OR SO IN FRONT OF THE CAR AT NIGHT. VISIBILITY IS MUCH WORSE IF RAIN PRESENT AT NIGHT. I'M FORCED TO USE MY CAR AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY INCLUDING NIGHT AND I HAVE BEEN VERY CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN FATALITIES REPORTED RELATED TO THIS ISSUE YET BUT IT S A MATTER OF TIME AND WE SHOULDN'T WAIT UNTIL THERE ARE FATALITIES OR INJURIES BEFORE THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED AND A RECALL IS ISSUED BY CHEVY. THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE OTHER UNSUSPECTING OWNERS THAT CONTINUE TO DRIVE THEIR CARS EACH DAY WITH THIS SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDS REPLACED AT A COST OF $1500.00. GM KNOWS ABOUT THE DEFECT AND THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. THERE IS CURRENTLY A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THE COMPANY.

THE 2010 CAMARO WITH THE 3.6L LLT MODEL ENGINE HAS PREMATURE TIMING CHAIN ISSUES. THESE CHAINS ARE STRETCHING OUT AND CAUSING PERFORMANCE ISSUES AND CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE. MY VEHICLE GAVE ME A DECREASED ENGINE POWER WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND DECREASED MY SPEED DRAMATICALLY. I HAD TO FLOOR THE GAS PEDDLE TO KEEP IT ABOVE 40 MPH IN A 65 MPH SPEED LIMIT. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOSED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A WORN TIMING CHAIN AND THAT 2 CAMSHAFTS WERE NOW OUT OF ALIGNMENT. GM HAS RECALLED ALMOST ALL OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINE AND TIMING CHAIN FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE ALSO DISCONTINUED USE OFF THE CHAIN ITSELF AND SELL A DIFFERENT MODEL FOR REPLACEMENT. BUT THEY REFUSE TO RECALL THE 2010 CAMARO FOR THIS ISSUE SO THE ONLY OPTION IS TO REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WITH THE NEWER ONE OUT OF POCKET.
