2016 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

TRUNK LEAKS WITH ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS LOCATED IN THE BASE OF THE TRUNK WHERE A SPARE TIRE WOULD BE LOCATED. WATER POOLS IN THIS AREA AND EXPOSES THE FUSE BOX, AMPLIFIER AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS TO WATER. THIS POSSES A MALFUNCTION AND POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD WHEN THE FUSE PANEL SHORTENS OUT. DUE TO THE HALF-MOON SHAPE OF THE TOP OF THE TRUNK WHERE THE BACK WINDOW MEETS WATER TO POOLS AND THEN SEEPS UNDER THE TRUNK WEATHERSTRIPPING AND ULTIMATELY INTO THE TRUNK.

ISSUE 1 - 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISION IS SHIFTING HARD BETWEEN GEARS AND ALSO HAS A SHUTTER AT LOW ENGINE RPM BETWEEN 1200 TO 1500 RPM. THE SHUTTER WILL OCCUR IN MOST GEARS. ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL. IT HAPPENS IN ALL ROADS IN ALL CONDITIONS AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS + GEAR.. ISSUE 2 - "SCRUBBING OR GRINDING NOISE" IN THE REAR END WHEN I FIRST GET IN THE CAR AFTER IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE. THE NOISE IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN I MAKE TURNS AT LOW SPEED. THEN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES IT GOES AWAY. IT HAS BEEN MORE NOTICEABLE WITH LOW TEMPERATURES. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 13K MILES.

I HAVE A DEFECTIVE WHEEL, IT CRACKED. THERE WAS NO IMPACT, I HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THE WHEEL SPINNING ON A BALANCER TO PROVE THIS. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BECOME MORE COMMON SINCE WHEEL MANUFACTURING WENT TO CHINA. GM IS WEASELING OUT OF THE WARRANTY, NO BIG DEAL. THE DANGER IS THAT I WAS INFORMED THAT GM WELDS LOW PRESSURE CAST WHEELS TO FULFILL WARRANTY CLAIMS. WHICH THE DEALERSHIP HAD DONE TO THIS WHEEL WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE, AGAIN NO BIG DEAL I ALREADY REPLACED THE WHEEL AND CERTAINLY WOULDN'T PUT THAT WHEEL BACK ON MY CAR. IN MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION THIS IS DANGEROUS. ESPECIALLY ON A HEAVY CAR THAT IS MADE TO RUN ON A TRACK AT 150 MPH PLUS. A CRACK IS CAUSED BY IMPURITIES IN THE ALLOY. IF THE ALLOY HAS IMPURITIES THEY USUALLY AREN'T ISOLATED TO ONE SPECIFIC SPOT. THIS CRACK ACTUALLY GREW FROM THE LIP INTO THE BARREL OF THE WHEEL IN A COUPLE DAYS TIME, ANOTHER WAY YOU CAN TELL IT WASN'T CAUSED BY IMPACT AND THAT THE IMPURITIES ARE MOST LIKELY IN SEVERAL PARTS OF THE WHEEL. I REALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE WARRANTY ISSUE, I JUST DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT SOMEONE BEING KILLED FROM AN ISSUE LIKE THIS BECAUSE I NEGLECTED TO REPORT IT. IF YOU WANT THAT WHEEL FOR INSPECTION OR TESTING I CAN SEND IT TO YOU. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. I'M ONLY ABLE TO SEND ONE PHOTO. I HAVE MORE AND A VIDEO.

BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE CENTER LANE OF AN EMPTY, 3-LANE ROAD, WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 40. THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO HAVE CAUSED THEM TO DEPLOY. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE BODY, TIRES, ETC.

THE 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS A SHUTTER AT LOW ENGINE RPM BETWEEN 1200 TO 1500 RPM. THE SHUTTER WILL OCCUR IN 2ND, 3RD, 4TH, 5TH, AND 6TH GEAR WHEN ENGINE RPM IS 1200 TO 1500. THE VEHICLE HAS 10,000 MILES ON IT. THIS HAPPENS ON OPEN ROADS IN ALL CONDITIONS AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS + GEAR.

SEAT BELT BROKE 34000 MILES LIGHT DRIVING NO ACCIDENT, DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT BROKE OFF METAL FROM FLOORBOARD . TOOK IN FOR WARRANTY REPAIR.

I WAS DRIVING DURING RUSH HOUR AT 70MPH WHEN MY AXLE SHAFT ABRUPTLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE CAR. IT WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY, AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO COAST THROUGH THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. I ALMOST DIED WHEN THE PERSON BEHIND ME ALMOST DROVE THROUGH ME WHEN THE SHAFT DISCONNECTED AND THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED WITHOUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS GOING OFF.

NEW VEHICLE EMISSIONS FUEL SYSTEM. EMISSION ERROR CODE FOR SOLENOID DEVELOPED WHEN VEHICLE WAS VERY NEW. DEALER HAS HAD THE VEHICLE 4 X'S AND ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE ERROR CODE. MANY EXPLANATIONS HOWEVER VEHICLE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PASS STATE EMISSIONS INSPECTION IN THE FUTURE. VEHICLE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE REGISTERED IN THE STATE OR ANY OTHER STATE. DEALER IS INDIFFERENT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM??

ISSUE WITH ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. I HAVE RECEIVED AN DIAGNOSTIC ALERT FROM ONSTAR IN REFERENCE TO THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME TOOK VEHICLE TO SHOP I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM. THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AGO. I RECEIVED ANOTHER ALERT FROM ONSTAR APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AGO TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP RAN A DIAGNOSTICS CODE CAME BACK THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE AIR FLOW SYSTEM SO THEY REPLACED THE PART. REPAIRS WERE DONE ALMOST TWO WEEKS AGO AND I RECEIVED THE SAME ALERT FROM ONSTAR YESTERDAY IN REFERENCE TO ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ALERT. MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE FIRST TWO INCIDENCE BUT NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I RECEIVED THE ALERT FROM ONSTAR I CAN NOT USE REMOTE START TO CRANK UP VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN ALERT WAS NOTICED THE SECOND AND THIRD TIME WAS STATIONARY.
