1994 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON WET SURFACE 20-25 MPH, CONSUMER WENT TO STEP ON BRAKES AND VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, HAD TO USE HAND BRAKES, THEN THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. WENT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ABS MODULE WAS BAD. *YC

I HAVE HAD TWO FAILURES OF THE GAS CAP. IT IS A NON-VENTED GAS CAP WITH A RATCHETING MECHANISM. THERE IS A RUBBER SEAL THAT IS SUPPOSE TO SEAL THE GAS CAP TO THE FILLER NECK WHEN THE CAP IS TIGHTENED SO THE RACHET CLICKS THREE TIMES. THE PLASTIC SCREW THREAD ON THE CAP IS GALLING. THE CAP DOES NOT TIGHTEN AND SEAL THE TANK BEFORE THE RACHET BEGINS TO CLICK. I BELIEVE A COMBINATION OF WEAR AND CHEMICAL ATTACK IS CAUSING THE THREADS TO BIND IN THE FILLER NECK. WHEN THE CAP DOES NOT SEAL, I CAN SMELL GASOLINE FUMES COMING FROM THE TANK WHEN I STOP AND THE WINDOW IS DOWN. THIS IS BOTH A FIRE HAZARD AND NEEDLESS RELEASE OF VOC'S TO THE ENVIRNMENT. I WILL REPLACE THE CAP MYSELF, BUT IF THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON TO THESE GAS CAPS THEY SHOULD ALL BE REPLACED. *AK

CONSUMER NOTES THAT SEAM WHICH PROTECTS AIR BAG HAS SPLIT OPEN, CAUSING AIR BAG TO COME OUT. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER, DEALER HAS YET TO REPLACE PARTS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

CONSUMER HAS TWO 1994 CAMAROS. THE FIRST VEHICLE'S PASSENGER POWER WINDOW GOT STUCK AND DEALER REPLACED IT. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 01-JAN-96, AT WHICH TIME DRIVER'S POWER WINDOW HAS BEEN REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS ALSO GETTING STUCK. AFTER BEING REPLACED, DRIVER'S POWER WINDOW CONTINUED TO GET STUCK THE SAME WAY AS THE PASSENGER'S POWER WINDOW. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. DEALER CANNOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

I HAVE READ MANY OTHER PEOPLES COMPLAINTS ABOUT BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS AND I FEEL BOTH SHOULD BE EITHER RECALLED OR FIXED AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. I ALSO FEEL THAT THE DOOR SHELL FALLING APART COULD BE A MAJOR SAFTEY PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ITSELF OUT OF PARK AND INTO REVERSE. DEALER CONTACTED AND IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM CANNOT BE REMEDIED AND STILL EXISTS. PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

CAR WAS RUNNING IN PARK, UNOCCUPIED. REVERSE ENGAGED. CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS AND HIT ANOTHER CAR.

CONSUMER'S PARENTS SAY THAT THE BRAKES HAVE FAILED, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR CONSUMER TO STOP, VEHICLE LOST CONTROL, RESULTING IN A COLLISION AND TWO FATALITIES. *AK

WHEN VEHICLE WAS STARTED THE OWNER HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND SAW THICK SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE DEALER HAD REPAIRED THE MOTOR PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTFIED. *AK

WHILE DRIIVNG 25 TO 30 MPH AND APPLYING ABS BRAKES BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO DEALER, AND SEVERAL PARTS HAS BEEN REPLACED, SUCH AS WHEEL CYLINDERS ETC. *AK
