2012 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

SMELL OF RADIATOR FLUID. NOTIFIED DEALER AT 28000 MILES. STATES HEATER CORE MAY HAVE A SLIGHT LEAK. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. VERY EXPENSIVE AND INTRUSIVE TO REPAIR / REPLACE

HEADLIGHT HOUSING DETERIORATED CAUSING LOSS OF ROAD ILLUMINATION AT NIGHT. MAJOR SAFEY ISSUE AND WILL FAIL INSPECTION.

ON RS MODELS WITH THE HID HEADLIGHTS, THE PLASTIC REFLECTOR FOR THE HID CAPSULE CRACKS AND BREAKS DOWN, GREATLY REDUCING LIGHT OUTPUT. THIS IS AN INTERNAL COMPONENT TO THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER WITH A FLUID LEAK AT TH PASSENGER REAR SIDE OF THE CAR.. IT WAS VERY MINOR, PRODUCING ONLY A SMALL "BASEBALL" SIZED STAIN IN MY DRIVEWAY OVER A 3 MONTH PERIOD. FLUID WAS GREASY AND STICKY. THE DEALER REPORTED THAT THE CLAMP FOR THE FILLER TUB WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED BUT RHE FACTORY. THEY SAID THEY REPAIRED IT BY REMOVING AND RECLAMPING IT ON. ONCE I RETURNED HOME WITH THE CAR, I HAD A WHOLE NEW PROBLEM. GAS NOW LEAKS OUT ON MY DRIVEWAY ANYTIME THE TANK IS ABOVE ONE-FOURTH FULL. THE FLUID ON THE DRIVEWAY IS DISTINCTLY GAS, WHEREAS BEFORE, IT DID NOT HAVE THE ODOR OR APPEARANCE OF GAS. IT WAS STICKY, MORE TACKY LIKE A GREASE. I RETURNED TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I HAVE A CRACKED GAS TANK. THEY WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THEY INADVERTENTLY CRACKED IT DURING THE PREVIOUS REPAIR. THIS ONLY LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT CHEVROLET HAS AN INHERENT ISSUE WITH THEIR GAS TANKS IN THAT THEY WILL CRACK WITHOUT CAUSE BY THE DRIVER. THIS CAR WAS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CHEVROLET. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 23,200 MILES ON IT AL THE TIME AND THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED DUE TO TIMING: THE 24 MONTHS WAS OVER IN APRIL 2018. THE "CRACKED" GAS TANK WAS DISCOVERED IN AUGUST. PLEASE REVIEW. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE.

INDICATOR CAME ON TO RECOMMEND MAINTENANCE ON AIRBAG, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS RECALL BACK IN 2014 BUT BECAUSE MINES WAS NOT RECALLED IT MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO WHERE IT WAS MANUFACTURED. ACCORDING TO THEM IN ORDER TO FIX WHAT IS TRIGGERING THE INDICATOR WILL COST AROUND 700.00 INCLUDING PARTS FOR A NEXT PART AND LABOR. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO BE DEALING WITH AIRBAG ISSUES ON A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A WARRANTY THAT JUST SO HAPPENS NOT TO COVER THIS PART. WHEN I CALLED THE WARRANTY COMPANY THEY DID STAY THEY COVERED ANYTHING DEALING WITH THE COMPUTER WHICH I THOUGHT THIS DID.

MY 2012 CAMARO CONVERTIBLE DEVELOPED LEAKS (HOLES) IN THE WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE DAMAGE APPEARS TO BE DONE BY THE ROOF MECHANICAL SYSTEM. DEALER REPORTS THIS IS A 20 HOUR JOB AND WILL COST A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE. MY CONTENTION IS THAT THE DESIGN AND BUILD OF THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE HOLES IN THE WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND GM SHOULD HOLD SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. THE WHOLE INTERIOR AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS ARE AT RISK OF FAILURE AND CREATES A SAFETY RISK TO DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS SHOULD THE WATER GET TO THE ELECTRIC SEATS OR ANY ELECTRIC WIRING UNDER THE CARPET.. ALSO RENDERS THE CAR UNSELLABLE.

2012 CAMARO WITH 56000 MILES ON IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH HEATER CORE BEING PLUGGED. CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD TO FOG OVER SUDDENLY LOSING VISIBILITY WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A CAR THATS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD WITH LOW MILES. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND GOOGLE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF NEWER MODEL CAMAROS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM BUT GM REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. I JUST HAD TO PAY 1400.00 OUT OF POCKET WITH NO HELP OR ASSISTANCE FROM GM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN SHOULD THE WINDOW FOG UP TO THE POINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO PROPERLY SEE. I AM REPORTING THIS ON BEHALF OF OTHER DRIVERS OF NEWER MODEL CAMAROS WHO ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF MY REGULAR MECHANIC WHO SAID WITH THE NUMBER OF REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG MODULE FAILED AND CAUSED THE AIR BAGS TO BECOME INOPERABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

2012 CAMARO HAS HAD POWER DOWN PROBLEMS WHILE JUST MERGING ON INTERSTATE STARTED AT 40,000 MILES. AIR BAG MODULE CLAIMED BY DEALERSHIP IF THE PROBLEM AND WILL COST TO FIX ALONG WITH THROTTLE CONTROL BODY. CAR HAD BEEN DIAGNOSED BY ANOTHER DEALER BUT NOTHING WAS TOLD COULD BE THE TAKA AIRBAG RECALL BUT NOT SURE WITH PRICE OF 1500 FOR REPAIRS THIS ALSO INCLUDES BREAK CHANGING I'M SURE IS NOT THE MAJOR COST. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS AIRBAG ISSUE ADDRESSED. THE POWER DOWN AND A DASH INFO POP UP FIRST CAME AT 36000 MILE. ALL ISSUES HAVE BEEN ON HIGHWAY 90 ALSO INTERSTATE 10 ON RAMP AND GENERAL DRIVING.

ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT WHILE GETTING OFF HIGHWAY, CAR SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. I CANT IMAGINE WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED HAD I STILL BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH CHEVY & GM CARS. I HAVE SEEN MANY FORUMS AND IT SEEMS NOTHING RESOLVES THIS ISSUE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL CHEVROLET & GM CARS.
