I HAD TO GO TO THE DEALER AND HAVE IT REPAIRED. (IN MOTION) ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT I HAVE IS IN THE WHEELS, THEY HAVE A SOUND LIKE THEY HAVE A PINK CAN. BUT IT IS ONLY HEARD SOMETIMES NOT ALWAYS. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM BUT THE SOUND LEFT.

IN 6/2018, I DISCOVERED THAT MY CAR WAS BEGINNING TO CORRODE ABOVE THE WHEEL WELL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE (MY CAR WAS STILL 5 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME OF THE DISCOVERY, BUT OVER 100K MILES). WITHIN ONE WEEK, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER--AT WHICH I PURCHASED IT NEW IN 2012--WHO CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS INDEED CORROSION AND INDICATED ON THE WRITTEN ESTIMATE THAT THE "HEM FLANGE WAS NOT PROPERLY SEALED FROM FACTORY CAUSING CONTAMINANTS TO ENTER AND START CORROSION ON THE LEFT QUARTER PANEL." THE DEALER QUOTED ME $3,000 TO REPAIR THE QUARTER PANEL. IN 6/2018, I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WAS DENIED ASSISTANCE FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR FROM THE CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGERIAL LEVEL. IN ABOUT 7/2018, I CONTACTED GM EXECUTIVES, WHICH RESULTED IN A DENIAL OF ASSISTANCE FROM THE CHEVROLET EXECUTIVE RESOLUTIONS TEAM. IN 8/2018, I MADE A BBB COMPLAINT AND AS A RESULT RECEIVED CONTACT FROM GM'S BUSINESS DIVISION, WHO ALSO ULTIMATELY DENIED ME ASSISTANCE. MOREOVER, THE BBB HAS INDICATED THAT MY CAR IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE AUTO LINE PROGRAM DUE TO # OF YEARS OLD. I ALSO RECENTLY MADE A STATE OF MI ATTORNEY GENERAL REFERRAL. I WILL UPLOAD THE PACKET THAT I SENT TO THE BBB WHICH CONTAINS MOST, IF NOT ALL, OF THE DOCUMENTATION I HAVE TO DATE (NOT INCLUDING THE BBB DENIAL).

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ROUTE 9 IN VA AND THE CAR STARTED STALLING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR DIED. WHEN I WENT TO RESTART IT, WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS IT MADE A KNOCKING SOUND. HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT, AND WAS TOLD ITS THE MOTOR. SHERIFF SHOWED AND BECAUSE ITS ONLY A 2 LANE HIGHWAY HE HAD TO PUSH THE CAR WITH HIS CAR TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD AND ONTO A SIDE STREET BECAUSE THEY COULDNT WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR AND THE MY STABILITRAK LIGHTS CAME ON, ALONG WITH ALL MY TRACTION AND BRAKE LIGHTS. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THAT, I LOST SPEED AND IT SOUNDED LIKE I RAN OVER SOMETHING. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 88K MILES ON IT. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN AROUND TO GO BACK HOME AND MY CAMARO SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR BUT IT WOULD NEVER TURN OVER. I HAD MY CAR TOWED HOME SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WAS ALREADY CLOSED. I TRIED ONCE MORE CRANK IT BUT THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER, I JUST GOT A CLICK CLICK CLICK. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT DURING THAT WEEK TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER IN THE AM. I WAS CALLED MIDDAY AND WAS ADVISED THAT MY ENGINE WAS SEIZED (OR LOCKED UP). WHEN I INQUIRED HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN WITHOUT WARNING OR INDICATION, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED TO BREAK DOWN THE MOTOR TO SEE IF THERE WAS A DEFECT AND IT WOULD COST ME $1200. OTHERWISE A NEW ENGINE WITH INSTALLATION WOULD COST ME $7K OR A USED ENGINE WITH 55K MILES INSTALLED WOULD BE $6090.00(HUH???). I RARELY DRIVE MY VEHICLE SO IN THE PAST YEAR, I MAY HAVE PUT A 1K MILES ON IT. JUST 3 WEEKS AGO I HAD THE OIL CHANGED WITH A 40 POINT INSPECTION. I AM PUZZLED AS TO WHY, IF MY CAR WAS HAVING AN ISSUE, WHY DID THE COMPUTER NOT READ OR REPORT IT AT THAT TIME. ALL OF MY SERVICING HAS ONLY COME FROM ONE DEALERSHIP SINCE I HAD IT. THIS ISSUE IS CLEARLY DANGEROUS AND I SEE THAT OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEM. PLEASE RECALL THIS ISSUE. NO CAR SHOULD EVER JUST TURN OFF. WHAT IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND GOTTEN RUN OVER BY A BIG INDUSTRIAL TRUCK. THERE WOULD BE NO ONE TO TELL WHAT HAPPENED. MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THOSE IN MY CAR COMES FIRST. KNOWING THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT COULD EVENTUALLY COST THE MANUFACTURER GRAVELY IN THE LONG RUN. NHTSA NUMBER 14V34600 WAS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED BY ANOTHER DRIVER.

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER WITH A FLUID LEAK AT TH PASSENGER REAR SIDE OF THE CAR.. IT WAS VERY MINOR, PRODUCING ONLY A SMALL "BASEBALL" SIZED STAIN IN MY DRIVEWAY OVER A 3 MONTH PERIOD. FLUID WAS GREASY AND STICKY. THE DEALER REPORTED THAT THE CLAMP FOR THE FILLER TUB WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED BUT RHE FACTORY. THEY SAID THEY REPAIRED IT BY REMOVING AND RECLAMPING IT ON. ONCE I RETURNED HOME WITH THE CAR, I HAD A WHOLE NEW PROBLEM. GAS NOW LEAKS OUT ON MY DRIVEWAY ANYTIME THE TANK IS ABOVE ONE-FOURTH FULL. THE FLUID ON THE DRIVEWAY IS DISTINCTLY GAS, WHEREAS BEFORE, IT DID NOT HAVE THE ODOR OR APPEARANCE OF GAS. IT WAS STICKY, MORE TACKY LIKE A GREASE. I RETURNED TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I HAVE A CRACKED GAS TANK. THEY WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THEY INADVERTENTLY CRACKED IT DURING THE PREVIOUS REPAIR. THIS ONLY LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT CHEVROLET HAS AN INHERENT ISSUE WITH THEIR GAS TANKS IN THAT THEY WILL CRACK WITHOUT CAUSE BY THE DRIVER. THIS CAR WAS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CHEVROLET. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 23,200 MILES ON IT AL THE TIME AND THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED DUE TO TIMING: THE 24 MONTHS WAS OVER IN APRIL 2018. THE "CRACKED" GAS TANK WAS DISCOVERED IN AUGUST. PLEASE REVIEW. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE.

INDICATOR CAME ON TO RECOMMEND MAINTENANCE ON AIRBAG, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS RECALL BACK IN 2014 BUT BECAUSE MINES WAS NOT RECALLED IT MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO WHERE IT WAS MANUFACTURED. ACCORDING TO THEM IN ORDER TO FIX WHAT IS TRIGGERING THE INDICATOR WILL COST AROUND 700.00 INCLUDING PARTS FOR A NEXT PART AND LABOR. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO BE DEALING WITH AIRBAG ISSUES ON A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A WARRANTY THAT JUST SO HAPPENS NOT TO COVER THIS PART. WHEN I CALLED THE WARRANTY COMPANY THEY DID STAY THEY COVERED ANYTHING DEALING WITH THE COMPUTER WHICH I THOUGHT THIS DID.

MY 2012 CAMARO CONVERTIBLE DEVELOPED LEAKS (HOLES) IN THE WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE DAMAGE APPEARS TO BE DONE BY THE ROOF MECHANICAL SYSTEM. DEALER REPORTS THIS IS A 20 HOUR JOB AND WILL COST A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE. MY CONTENTION IS THAT THE DESIGN AND BUILD OF THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE HOLES IN THE WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND GM SHOULD HOLD SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. THE WHOLE INTERIOR AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS ARE AT RISK OF FAILURE AND CREATES A SAFETY RISK TO DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS SHOULD THE WATER GET TO THE ELECTRIC SEATS OR ANY ELECTRIC WIRING UNDER THE CARPET.. ALSO RENDERS THE CAR UNSELLABLE.

2012 CAMARO WITH 56000 MILES ON IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH HEATER CORE BEING PLUGGED. CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD TO FOG OVER SUDDENLY LOSING VISIBILITY WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A CAR THATS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD WITH LOW MILES. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND GOOGLE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF NEWER MODEL CAMAROS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM BUT GM REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. I JUST HAD TO PAY 1400.00 OUT OF POCKET WITH NO HELP OR ASSISTANCE FROM GM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN SHOULD THE WINDOW FOG UP TO THE POINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO PROPERLY SEE. I AM REPORTING THIS ON BEHALF OF OTHER DRIVERS OF NEWER MODEL CAMAROS WHO ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF MY REGULAR MECHANIC WHO SAID WITH THE NUMBER OF REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

TAKATA RECALL MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON RECENTLY. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND. THEY FIRST SAID MY RECALL NOTICED EXPIRED AND WHEN I CALLED ANOTHER TIME THEY SAID THE RECALL HAD BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. I WAS NOT EVER ONCE NOTIFIED BY THE DEALER THAT THEY "FIXED" A RECALL. I HAD SOMEONE RUN THE DIAGNOSTICS TEST ON FRIDAY AND IT SAID IT WAS THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG SHORTENING BAR (RECALL# 12661). I SPOKE TO GM AND THEY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP I GO TO AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO FIX IT. THEY SAID I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THEY JUST WANT THEIR MONEY! THIS IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURER ISSUE THAT THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD TAKE CARE OF! MY SAFETY DOES NOT CONCERN THEM. THE RECALL SPECIFICALLY SAYS IF THE BAR AND TERMINALS ARE CONTACTING EACH OTHER AT THE TIME OF A CRASH NECESSITATING DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER'S FRONTAL AIRBAG, THAT AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY, INCREASING THE DRIVER'S RISK OF INJURY. THE DEALER SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE! MY SAFETY SHOULD BE THEIR PRIORITY!
