I STARTED TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION IN MY CAR. AT ALL DIFFERENT TIMES THE KEY WOULD STICK AND NOT TURN IN THE CAR. I BROUGHT IT IN AND TOLD HEM AND THEY AID IT WAS THE WAY I WAS STARTING IT. THAT THE WHEELS WERE NOT STRAIGHT. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE AS IT HAPPENED AT ALL DIFFERENT TIMES AND I NOW THE WHEELS NEED TO BE STRAIGHT. I CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS UNTIL THIS DAY. A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN I WAS AT A DEALERSHIP IN FL WHERE I MOVED I HAD SUCH A BAD EXPERIENCE AND NO HELP FOR A CONTINUED BREAK ISSUES I PRINTED PAPERWORK TO FILE FOR A LEMON LAW YET HAVE NOT PURSUED THIS AS OF NOW. TODAY I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL ON THE IGNITION. THIS IS VERY TROUBLING TO ME AS I HAVE SAID SINCE MY CAR WAS NEW THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS IN MY CAR YET NO ONE WOULD HELP ME. NOW WITH THE RECALL NOTICE AND THE BRAKE ISSUE I AM WANTING TO PURSUE THE LEMON LAW. PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT I SHOULD DO. *TR

I PARKED MY CAR AROUND 815PM SUNDAY NIGHT 8/24/14.. AROUND 10 PM I WENT BACK TO MY CAR AND GOT MY PAPERS OUT THE TRUNK. AROUND 1 AM MY NEIGHBOR CAME TO MY DOOR TO LET ME KNOW MY CAR WAS ON FIRE .. BEFORE I WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS ON FIRE I DID HEAR A LOUD BOOM NOISE BUT THOUGHT IT WAS A DIESEL ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

I PULLED OUT OF MY PARKING PLACE AT MY CONDOMINIUMS. I COULD NOT GET MY CAR TO STOP. THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BUT THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY WILL ONLY FIX IT IF IT DOES IT WHILE IT IS IN THEIR CARE. I HAVE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED BUT IT HAS NOT HAPPENED WHILE I HAVE BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AND I RAN INTO POLL AND MY BUMPER NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED A REDUCTION IN ENGINE POWER AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SIX-ROD BEARING HAD SPUN WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT ALL FOUR OXYGEN SENSORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,800 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,200.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO CLASSIC CHEVROLET GRAPEVINE DEALERSHIP AFTER NOTICING WHILE I CHANGED MY BRAKES THE WEEK BEFORE, THERE WAS AXLE GREASE SCATTERED ALL OVER THE REAR OF MY RIM, HUB, AXLES, AND BRAKE COMPONENTS. AFTER INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THE CV BOOT HAD LET GO ON THE INSIDE SEAL NEAR THE HUB WHERE THE WHEEL MOUNTS. MY CAR IS TWO YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 42600 MILES. I HAVE ALSO HEARD FROM SEVERAL OTHER CAMARO OWNERS ON FORUMS AND IN PERSON DISCUSSIONS. FAILURE OF THE AXLE BECAUSE OF IMPROPER LUBRICATION TO THE AXLE CONNECTION CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH SHOULD THE AXLE FAIL WHILE DRIVING. CAN YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND DETERMINE IF A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THANK YOU! *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 85 MY CAR SUDDENLY LOSS POWER IT DID NOT CUT OFF COMPLETELY BUT IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS SHUTTING DOWN. IT SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ANY FASTER. LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO WORK AND TOOK THE STREET ROUTE AND MADE IT TO WORK. THE ENGINE LIGHT DID COME ON AND IT SAID IT WAS LOW ENGINE POWER. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WITHIN 3 MONTHS. I CALLED ONSTAR THE FIRST TIME AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC WHICH CAME BACK SAYING SERVICE ENGINE WITH SOME OTHER DYNAMICS I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. ONCE I GOT TO WORK AND CUT THE CAR OFF I CUT IT OFF THEN TRIED TO START IT AGAIN TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESET ITSELF BUT THIS TIME IT WOULDN'T START. CALLED CHEVY AND THEY SAID TO WAIT A COUPLE HOURS AND TRY IT AGAIN OTHERWISE I WOULD NEED TO TOW IT THERE. I WAITED TWO HOURS THEN CHECKED AND IT CRANKED RIGHT UP AND ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF, CALLED CHEVY BACK AND THEY SAID IT PROBABLY WAS JUST COMPUTER PROBLEMS. NOW THIS IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR THREE DAYS. BUT AGAIN IT WENT AWAY AFTER THAT. I'M STARTING TO THINK THAT ITS JUST SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE AND NEXT TIME I WONT BE SO LUCKY. *TR

WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH/ KEY IS SLIGHTLY BUMPED WITH KNEE, THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THREE TIMES NOW. DEALERSHIP NOT RESPONSIVE. TAUGHT MY TEEN DRIVERS WHAT TO DO IF THIS HAPPENS AND THIS SAVED MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE WHEN IT HAPPENED TO HER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD, THE AIR BAG CURTAINS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED. I WAS NOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT, I WAS NOT TURNING ANY CORNERS, I DID NOT HIT A BUMP, NOTHING. I WAS ONLY DRIVING DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE PLACE OF PURCHASE (JOHN L SULLIVAN IN ROSEVILLE, CA) BECAUSE IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN THE SERVICE TECH CALLS ME BACK, THEY ADVISE THAT THEY ARE GETTING CODES FROM THE BLACK BOX THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH AND/OR HAS HAD THIRD PARTY PARTS INSTALLED. THIS IS A BUNCH OF CRAP BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING INSTALLED OTHER THAN THE LOJACK THAT THEY INSTALLED FOR ME AND THE REPLACEMENT OF A PART (I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS) THAT WAS CAUSING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON EVEN THOUGH I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 WEEKS, WHICH ONCE AGAIN THEY ALSO INSTALLED. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THEM ON 4/18/14 FOR AN OIL CHANGE, I LET THE SERVICE TECH KNOW THAT MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AND HE ADVISED THAT I WILL NEED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO COME BACK ANOTHER DAY BECAUSE IT TAKES 2-3 HOURS JUST FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE BUT THAT ITS PROBABLY JUST A BAD SENSOR (BASICALLY BLOWING IT OFF LIKE IT WAS NO BIG DEAL). SO I SAID OK AND KEPT DRIVING IT WITH THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ON BECAUSE HE MADE IT SEEM LIKE IT WAS NO BIG DEAL. I ALSO DO NOT LIVE NEAR THE DEALERSHIP AND USE THIS CAR TO GET TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY SO I WAS ALSO WAITING FOR A CONVENIENT TIME FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO TAKE AND LEAVE THE CAR WITH THEM FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT I NEED TO GO THROUGH MY INSURANCE TO GET THE REPAIRS PAID FOR. THIS IS WRONG! JOHN L SULLIVAN AND/OR GM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND NEED TO COVER THE REPAIRS UNDER MY WARRANTY OR THEY NEED TO GIVE ME A NEW CAR. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING CHEST PAIN CAUSED FROM THE INCIDENT AND WILL BE GOING TO THE DOCTORS TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT TODAY. *TR
