2016 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

I was leaving the gas station when a message showed up on my dash saying "Service Power Steering Drive With Care" My steering wheel got very hard and I had a very hard time turning the steering wheel to the right or left, somehow I manged to leave the store. I was really worried for my safety and others because If an accident were to happen I would not be able to turn my steering wheel to get out of the way to avoid a major accident. As I was driving home the message dispersed and the steering wheel went back to normal. I took the car into the dealership and they looked at it and said nothing was wrong with it, when clearly there was a problem with it.

The RPM gauge is malfunctioning, it’s hard pin point when it exactly it happens because i could be driving one day and it would be fine but the next it would be happening. What happens with the gauge is that It jumps to high rpms without any rev sounds the meter just seems to jump like crazy, it coursed a safety concern because the first time it happened was in a freeway going around 60mph and it started to bounce a lot and braked thinking my car was revving high and almost got rear ended, i pulled over and turned my E-Lights and turned the car off and turned it back on and it was fine after that, i took it to the dealer and they said they could not find anything and that it was probably something that would go away, i left and to this day it still does it not every time but there is times it randomly jumps a lot, sometimes when I accelerate sometimes when I’m decelerating i really don’t know what causes it. The car also seems to have no lights or warning lights of what it could be no warning lights are on the dash. I bought the car used from the dealership 4/5/2022 on the way home on that day was the first time it happened.

I took my 2016 Camaro in to get checked out because bit was driving funny. Come to find out the sensor in the transmission was going out. After i put it in for the warranty, my screen , dash, and all the sound went out in my vehicle. The next day on November 27th my car battery drained out and i had to get it replaced. 2 days later on November 29th 2021 my car battery went out again and had to get another battery. So at this point something is draining the battery down so i changed the batter and noticed there was water in the trunk of my car after it rained. But didn’t think nothing of it. That same day i parked my car at work turned the car off and went inside the building. 45 mins later they said my car was on fire from the trunk. The fire department came and put the fire out… the fire and smoke cleared and the thing that caught on fire was the fuse box which is in the trunk and everything around it. I took my car to the Chevy dealership clay Cooley Chevrolet in Dallas Texas and they couldn’t figure out why it caught on fire and that everything was too burnt up to tell what happened alls they know is that the fuse box shorted out. I took my complaints to GM and they did an investigation. It took 2 months and i did not get a rental till 3 days before they completed my investigation and they didn’t search for one i had to go look for one . Then they told me that they are not going to help with the vehicle because the fire was located in the “luggage compartment space”. They said you can’t exactly tell where the fire came from because the fire burned everything up. Today they are telling me to give the rental back after just getting it 3 days ago and I’m without a car.

The power steering shuts of randomly with loss of steering. When I try to turn under this condition, the steering wheel bounces back and forth violently. I have ran into curbs and almost hit other vehicles due to the loss of power steering. There has never been an engine light or warning lamp displayed during the loss of steering while driving the vehicle. There’s no way to have the issue diagnosed without a stored code.

Around 3/2/2021 I received a dash warning light for the electronic parking brake indicating some form of malfunction. The electronic parking brake began to stay on once set and when I would accelerate a bit, it would release. Thereafter the rear brakes and calipers completely locked up while sitting in my garage and would not move. I had to have it towed out of my garage and to a Chevrolet dealership for repair. The Chevrolet dealer repaired it after approximately one week or more and five or six days later the indicator light returned stating electronic parking brake malfunction so I took it back to the Chevrolet dealership and they repaired again. I had also contacted the dealership I purchased from in Tennessee and made them aware of the problem and they agreed to pay for the repair because my warranty did not cover this repair because it happened to be from prior damage to the car before i purchased it. After speaking in great detail with the Chevrolet dealer, it was explained to me that this is beyond repair at this point if I were to have any further issues with this and strongly recommended having this replaced and that it is currently unsafe considering this could happen again including while I am driving and could result in to an accident and possible injury to myself and others. I then hired an attorney to dispute this with the dealership I purchased from and they on many occasions declined any compensation for this. It is very pricy and the salesperson had told me at one point the car tire had had a blowout and defected a wiring issue with the electronic parking brake and that the switch had been replaced and that the side indicator lights were not working off and on. He assured me that this had been fixed, meaning it only needed a switch. The whole Body Wiring Harness was very badly effected and there are currently seventeen wires that are not secure in which control a lot of the car. I did also retrieve the service records.

WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, IT TURNS ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TURNS OFF, IT TRIES TO TURN ON AND STAYS ON FOR A WHILE HAD A TURN ON. THE CHECK ENGINE IS NOT CLEARED. IT IS AS IF THERE IS NO GASOLINE IN IT. THEY INDICATED TO ME IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GASOLINE TAIL OF THE GASOLINE BOMB. THERE IS A RECALL BUT IT IS NOT REPORTED. VEHICULO HAVE ONLY 31,600 MILES.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AND THANK GOD THERE WAS TRAFFIC WHEN I LOST POWER IN STEERING WHEEL AND THEN MY CAR.. I TURN MY CAR.. WHEN I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT ON MY JOB I LOST POWER AGAIN. I CALL THE DEALER TO GET MY CAR FIX.
