1999 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

WHILE INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON ACCIDENT DUAL AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND DRIVER'S SEAT BELT BROKE, CAUSING INJUIRES. *AK VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *SLC

VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALER MULTI TIMES THEY ADVISE CANT DUPLICATE OR NORM. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED IN SUMMARY. *AK

BOTH FRONT ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED TWICE TO RELEIVE WEAROUT. ROTORS WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, AND WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BY MANUFACTURER. DEFECTIVE ROTORS DO NOT ALLOW CONSUMER TO STOP VEHICLE APPROPRIATELY WHICH COULD CAUSE AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. *AK

WHEN TRAVELING AT ABOUT 50 AND PUTTING ON BRAKES STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BADLY.*AK

I HAVE HAD TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR FRONT ROTOR MACHINING OR REPLACEMENT APPOXIMATELY EVERY 8 - 10,000 MILES. THE BRAKES PULSATE AND THE WHEEL VIBRATES WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE DEFECT OCCURS. TURNING THE ROTORS OR REPLACING THEM HAS FIXED THE PROBELM, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE QUITE FREQUENT TO HAVE BRAKE REPAIRS OF THE SAME TYPE TO OCCUR THIS FREQUENTLY, MY PREVIOUS CAR A 1995 CAMARO ONLY REQUIRED THE SAME SERVICE ONCE IN APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES AND ONLY WHEN THE BRAKE PADS HAD WORN OUT AND METAL TO METAL CONTACT WITH THE ROTORS OCCURRED.*AK

THERE IS A RATTLING NOISE FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE CAUSED BY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. *YH
