2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

THE TIMING CHAIN ON MY CAMARO 3.6L WAS STRETCHED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO RUN ROUGH AND STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP WAS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE BASED ON A SERVICE ALERT FROM THE MANUFACTURE. THE VEHICLE HAD 53000 MILES AND WAS REPAIRED AT MY COST FOR A KNOW MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED FOR SAFETY BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I BELIEVE GENERAL MOTORS IS ISSUING RECALLS FOR THIS SAME ENGINE BUT ON OTHER MODELS.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN NORTHWEST EXPRESSWAY, MY CAMARO HIT MANY POTHOLES AND UNEVEN LANES CAUSING MY RIMS TO BE BENT AND CAUSING FLAT TIRE. CAR WAS GOING SPEED LIMIT OF 45 AND HIT A HUGE POTHOLE AND IT SOUNDED VERY BAD. PARKED MY VEHICLE AT WORK AND TIRE WAS FLAT AND RIM WAS BENT IN 3 DIFFERENT PLACES.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY CAMARO 2SS WITH HID HEADLIGHTS HAVE GOTTEN SO DIM THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE CAR DOESN'T LIGHT UP THE ROAD AT ALL. I ONLY USE IT DURING THE DAY. IF I NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE AT NIGHT I HAVE TO USE MY OTHER VEHICLE. I WENT TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS $125.00 TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON. I'VE READ ALL OVER THE INTERNET THAT EVERYONE THAT HAS THESE CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE LIGHTS SO WE CAN BE SAFE WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND $1500.00 TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHTS.

AROUND 100,000 MILES MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT, THE LIGHT JUST CAME ON, WHILE DRIVING ONE DAY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE AIRBAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT AN EXPENSIVE PRICE. CURRENTLY RIDING AROUND IN A VEHICLE WITH FAULTY AIRBAGS FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BRIDGEWATER CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 1548 US-22, BRIDGEWATER TOWNSHIP, NJ 08807, (732) 226-7264) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE VALVE LIFTER, VALVE LIFTER, HEAD GASKETS, VALVE COVER GASKETS, EXHAUST GASKET, AND BOLTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,136.

AROUND 60,000 MILES, THE 'SERVICE AIRBAG' WARNING BEGAN DISPLAYING FROM WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED UNTIL IT IS SHUT OFF. I AM INTERESTED IN SELLING THE VEHICLE, BUT WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE "$2,000" OFF OF WHAT WOULD BE OFFERED FOR THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS AIRBAG PROBLEM. WHEN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT SOUNDS TO BE A RELATIVELY COMMON PROBLEM THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING - BUT EVEN MORE CONCERNING, IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS ERROR MAY DEACTIVATE THE AIRBAG ALTOGETHER WHICH IS A CONSIDERABLE SAFETY CONCERN CONSIDERING I DON'T HAVE $2,000 TO PUT TOWARD THE CAR TO RESOLVE THIS ERROR.

AROUND 60,000 MILES, THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" WARNING WAS DISPLAYED ALONGSIDE THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE. THE WARNING IS DISPLAYING AT ALL SPEEDS AND WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON. I AM TRYING TO SELL THE VEHICLE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT WAS TOLD TODAY AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT THE VALUE OF MY TRADE-IN WOULD BE DECREASED BY $2,000 DUE TO THIS WARNING WHICH WOULD HAMPER ME FROM BEING ABLE TO AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. I AM NOT ABLE TO AFFORD THIS $2,000, SO IT SEEMS AS THOUGH I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH A VEHICLE OF WHICH ITS AIRBAGS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. I AM UNSURE WHAT MORE I CAN DO GIVEN THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY OTHERS WITH UNRESOLVED CONCERNS SIMILAR TO THIS.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH SEAT BACK COLLAPSED ALMOST CREATING AN ACCIDENT. SEAT WILL NOT LOCK BACK IN PLACE. VEHICLE HAS 40,000 MILES

SERVICE PASSENGER AIR BAG, WOULD NOT GO OFF. AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEP COMING ON.
