2016 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THERE IS A LOUD SOUND WHAT SOUNDS LIKE RUBBING COMING FROM REAR TIRES. TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION IN WHICH THE MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND AN ISSUE. THREE DAYS LATER I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION ON MY SCREEN STATING TO SERVICE THE PARKING BREAK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS SON WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED. AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE JUMPED A CONCRETE MEDIAN, HITTING A VEHICLE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED BY EITHER VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AS A RACK AND PINION FAILURE THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER OR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

PURCHASED CAR WITH 20908 MILES ON 12/18/19. NOTICED ENGINE RPMS FLUCTUATING ABOUT 200 RPMS WHEN AT STEADY CRUISING SPEED 2ND DAY OF OWNING CAR. 3RD DAY NOTICED BAD SHUDDER WHEN IN V4 MODE ALONG WITH RPM FLUCTUATION.

I HAVE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT TWICE BASED ON THE TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY AND THE CAR LOOSING TRACTION BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. CHEVY HAS FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION 3 TIMES WITH NO CHANGE. 3 WEEKS AGO THE ENGINE FAILED WHILE I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON A HIGHWAY. THIS CAUSED A TRUCK TO ALMOST RAM THE BACK OF MY CAR AND ANOTHER CAR ALMOST HIT ME AS I TRIED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER. AUTO NATION CHEVROLET ON LEE VISTA BLVD, ORL. FLORIDA. THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN TAKEN APART INTO MANY PIECES AND MUCH OF IT IS SITTING ON THE DEALERSHIP SHOP FLOOR. THE MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE VALVE CASING AND A DEFECTIVE SPRING..DAMAGING THE CAMSHAFT. ALL VALVES AND SPRINGS AND CAMSHAFT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. CHEVY HAS DECLINED MY REQUEST FOR A NEW ENGINE..THEY SAID THAT DECISION IS UP TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER. I SPOKE TO HIM...HE SAID THAT THE COST TO REPLACE THE ENGINE MUST BE WITHIN A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS VS REBUILDING THE ENGINE FOR HIM TO AUTHORIZE THAT THE ENGINE BE REPLACED.. THIS IS NOW 3 WEEKS IN DURATION WITH NO CAR, WHICH COST ME CLOSE TO $50,000 AND ALMOST HAS CAUSED ME TO BE IN 3 ACCIDENTS. I AM APPEALING FOR YOUR INTERVENTION.

STEERING ASSIST UNSTABLE. WHEN SUDDENLY TURNING THE WHEEL, THE TENSION IN THE WHEEL JUMPS - MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO TURN SHARPER THAN EXPECTED. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE INTERNMENT - SOMETHING STOPPING AFTER DRIVING A WHILE. NOTICED ISSUE WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS IN THE CITY AND WHILE STATIONARY. MAY HAPPEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS BUT DON'T TURN AT HIGH SPEEDS. MAY HAPPEN IF TRYING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT.

DURING ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION, THE 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS SEEMS TO JUMP AS IF IT IS MISSING GEARS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR SOME MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2016 WITH ONLY 12 MILES. DIAGNOSTIC TESTING HAS BEEN PERFORMED AND NOTHING HAS BEEN FOUND. HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. ALSO, THE BACKUP CAMERA, RADIO, AND ENTIRE MYLINK SYSTEM WENT OUT. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE HMI MODULE WAS BAD--THE CAR WAS NOT 3 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS A $1000 DEALERSHIP REPAIR TICKET. GM HAS STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. ALSO, OTHERS IN THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS OUTSIDE LICENSED REPAIR SHOPS SAID THEY HAD THE SEEN THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE CAMARO.

TRANSMISSION STALLS OUT DURING ACCELERATION AND AND ALSO LOUNGES FORWARD WITH OUT ANY ACCELERATION VERY SCARED OF DRIVING MY CAR IN DAILY BASIS AND HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO GM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE FRONT WHEELS SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS IT SPUN AROUND TWICE AND CRASHED INTO A METAL DIVIDER. NONE OF THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE COMPUTER GENERATES A MESSAGE: REDUCED PERFORMANCE, REDUCE CLUTCH USE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE POWER OF THE ENGINE IS REDUCED TO 1/3 OR TO TWO CYLINDERS, AND THE SPEEDOMETER GOES FLYING ALL AROUND, VARYING BY ABOUT 25 MPH UP AND DOWN. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR FOUR TIMES TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL REPLACED, TIGHTENED, ETC., AND THEY HAVE REPROGRAMMED SEVERAL THINGS IN COMPUTER. TWO SEPARATE CASES HAVE BEEN FILED WITH GM AND TO THIS POINT THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY SAY ITS NOT THAT. THIS CREATES AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION.

WHEN IT RAINS HEAVY WATER IS GETTING INTO THE TRUNK OF THE CAR, WHERE THE WHEEL WELL IS THERE IS A FUSE BOX AND THAT'S WHERE THE WATER SITS. THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS OF THE CAR HAD TO BE REPLACED THE CORDS WERE BURNT AND SMOKE IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR 2018 NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN THIS YEAR 2019
