2010 Chevrolet Camaro Complaint Log

Vehicle Shipped in Unsafe Driving Condition I purchased this vehicle from Cars2us with a clear understanding that the vehicle was in good working order. I paid $500 for shipping along with $3,000 cash down. I purchased it from out of state so I had to have the vehicle shipped to my work site. When I received the vehicle off the trailer, it was borderline underivable due to the rack and pinion and power steering system being faulty. I immediately contacted the dealer and he agreed to have it repaired and advised me to “take it to a mechanic you trust”! I did so and the mechanic called me to inform me that the manager of the dealership tried to convince him to put junkyard parts on the vehicle to fix it. The mechanic was infuriated and insulted by this and advised me to contact an attorney. I paid the full amount for the repairs totaling over $2,000 because he did a job he was asked to do and rightly deserved to be paid for doing so. The mechanic and I tried multiple times to contact him for repayment and he has not paid nor responded. I have all of our conversations and will happily attach them to this email. I’m furious because the vehicle was knowingly shipped to me in an extremely dangerous condition and I was forced to drive it to my house 13 miles away as well as the mechanic shop another 6 miles. I emailed the Attorney General of Virginia and reported the incident. It’s my goal to protect other customers from experiencing this kind of behavior and treatment. If you could please help me out in any way it would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards.

The battery was taken to an independent mechanic where the battery was checked and found to be in good working order. The battery was placed back into the vehicle where the vehicle; however, the vehicle intermittently failed to start after several attempts. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 09V155000 (Electrical System); which the contact linked to the failure. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 124,000.

The passenger seat airbag indicates OFF on the status display inside the car. I have tried turning it on using the button on the status display with no success.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 MPH, the driver’s right knee struck the ignition key causing the key to break off inside the ignition switch. The contact was unable to turn the vehicle off. The battery was disconnected. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 110,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that while sitting in the vehicle with the engine running, a hospital security guard asked her to turn off the vehicle because exhaust fumes were entering the building. The vehicle was driven to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed as a pressurized gas line leak failure. The contact was informed that the fuel tank needed to be removed to confirm the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was like NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V837000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, neither the VIN nor the model year was included. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal chirping sound coming from the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where shards of metal were found coming out of the rocker arm inside the engine.

The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000. The VIN was not available.

The engine timing is wrong. The camshaft and the reluctor misalign and cause the engine to loose performance. The problem was diagnosed by a Chevrolet dealership because of the illuminated "check engine" light. This seems to be a major historical issue with these type engines produced by Chevrolet. The engine was replaced.

January 2023.. Structural Crack in the air bag dash location/passenger side...Looking at it more closely the crack continues in a perfect oval pattern. As of yet the car component in question has not been inspect by a dealer or others. When sitting back in the front passenger seat i can see that the dash is humped up in just that area..the oval area. This oval area is just above the word air bag on the face of the dash. My concern is that if this is the airbag it could deploy and injury myself and others and cause a serious accident. the car has approximately 74,000 miles on it

My 2010 camaro has the 3.6 v6 engine in it. I had no warning lights or issues with the car. I got in my car and started to drive on a highway the engine exploded on me and I swerved out of control luckily being able to stop the car on the right side of the road. I had the car towed to my house where it sat for months unable to be driven. I have been doing more and more research trying to figure out why it blew up. Me and my passenger could have died that day with how badly the force of the engine through the car out of control. And the chunks of steel that flew from under my car almost killed 2 kids in a car behind me. And upon talking to an associate who is a gm certified mechanic but he doesn't work for a dealership his diagnosis was the timing chain went bad prematurely and snapped and set off a chain reaction making the motor explode. During my time researching I have discovered this issue is already known by general motors for this engine having premature timing chain wear down. I have pictures of other 2010 camaro owners complaints of this issue. I also am aware gm has faced several class action law suits due to this issue. They put a recall out on the engine but specific vin numbers. So when I called gm customer service asking why I can't get my car repaired and my engine replaced they told me it was due to not being a vin number they included in the recalls even though they are aware it is the same engine. The recall should be for all vin numbers for this engine. My safety as well as others safety was put at risk for a known defect. This issue could happen to anyone with this engine and people could be killed due to it and those that survive the situation when it arises get left without a working vehicle. Now my car sits in my driveway without an engine. There should be a mass recall for all the engines. Supporting Links: https://m.carcomplaints.com/Chevrolet/Camaro/2010/engine/premature_timing_chain_wear.shtml Those are other people who had the same issue

The headlight assembly has a reflective plate and has a manufactures defect that is a safety hazard. The reflective plate becomes yellow due to the heat of the HID light bulbs and causes the low beam lights to become dim and not put out the required output for safety and visibility. This part can not be replaced individually and the whole headlight assembly has to be replaced at a cost of $1200 per each side. Changing out the HID bulb with a comparable one does not increase the visibility either. I’ve taken my car to the dealership and have it on record what is wrong with it and that there is no other reason for the dim headlight other than that one defective piece. The visibility is awful.

My 2010 Chevy Camaro has a check engine light for a code P0008 which is an engine preformace bank 1 code. It is affecting my acceleration. I have noticed with other General Motors vehicles that have the 3.6L V6 have thrown this code for a timing chain issue around 100,000 miles and I belive other makes and models have been recalled for this issue and was concerned that it could be unsafe. I also wanted to know why this has not already been recalled on this make and model but has on others. If you could look in to this that would be great. Thank you

When driving I keep getting a airbag warning notification on for the passenger side saying there's an issue. And now my driver's seat is stuck all the way forward and won't recline. I can't even drive the vehicle now because the seat won't move back to get behind the wheel. I don't know what to do!

THE AIRBAG ALERT LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF. THIS HAPPENS STATIONARY, MOVING, WHEN SOMEONE IS THE SEAT OR NOT, ON BUMPY ROADS, AND ALL SPEEDS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, WHO SAID IT'S THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT NEEDS REPLACING. HE SUGGESTED I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE IT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $800 TO FIX IT. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING MEANWHILE AND THIS LOOKS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 CAMARO. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I WOULD BE ASKED TO PAY THAT MUCH TO FIX SOMETHING THAT ISN'T MY FAULT AND IN FACT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ERROR. ON TOP OF THAT, THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $150 TO DIAGNOSE WHAT I TOLD THEM WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN!!!!

TPMS SYSTEM AND REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY FAILS TO OPERATE CORRECTLY AFTER INSTALLING NEW TIRES. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM EVEN WITH A CHANGE TO THE KEYLESS ENTRY MODULE. GM REPORTS THAT SOME TIRES HAVE TOO MUCH STEEL IN THE BELTS CAUSING THE SIGNALS TO BE BLOCKED OR BE INTERMITTENT WHICH CAN CAUSE DRIVERS TO DRIVE ON UNDER INFLATED TIRES. FAILURE OCCURS IN ANY TYPE OF DRIVING. GM NEEDS TO REPLACE THE SENSORS WITH ONES THAT PROVIDE A STRONGER SIGNAL TO COMPLY WITH THE TREAD ACT.

Evaporative emisions vent valve selenoid malfunctions. Parts has manufacturing deffect and fails regularly. It’s Location makes it very complex and expensive to repair. This malfunction disables the remote start which is, in my case, a safety issue. The cost to fix is prohibitive an users postpone it or disregard it. This well known issue among owner of this model, dealers and mechanics.it does trigger a “check engine light.

A 'SERVICE AIRBAG' NOTIFICATION HAS BEEN TURNING ON SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 CAMARO (REGARDLESS OF SPEED AND/OR IF A PASSENGER IS IN THE CAR). WHEN I TOLD MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHILE I WAS THERE GETTING AN OIL CHANGE, THE EMPLOYEE TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $120 FOR THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC AND THAT IF I GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT MY AIRBAG WOULDN'T DEPLOY. I THINK IT'S UNFAIR AND IRRESPONSIBLE OF THEM TO CHARGE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC, FROM WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE, MANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 CAMARO AND GM KNOWS ABOUT THE DEFECT AND THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. THE FACT THAT THIS IS STILL NOT A RECALL IS CRIMINALLY NEGLECTFUL AND I BELIEVE THERE IS CURRENTLY A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THE COMPANY.

AIR BAG SERVICE OPTION KEEP COMING UP ON MY SCREEN WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND CITY STREETS I TURNED OFF ONTO AFTER BEING FRIGHTENED BY THE MESSAGE. BARELY HAD THE CAR 5 MONTHS AND IT STARTED. IT WOULD CHIME THEM DISAPPEAR. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND MAKES ME VIEW MY CAR AS A TICKING DEATH TRAP. I DONT FEEL I NEED TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS. AS IT DEALS WITH THE SAFETY OF THE CAR FROM A COMPANY I TRUST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A FRACTURE IN THE DASHBOARD BY THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG HOUSING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE INSPECTED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER A DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BECOME PROGRESSIVELY DIMMER OVER TIME. REPLACING THE BULBS AND THE BALLAST DOES NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. WHAT HAPPENS IS THE REFLECTOR INSIDE THE PROJECTOR STARTS TO FAIL WHICH DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE LIGHT OUTPUT. THE ONLY FIX FOR THIS IS COMPLETELY NEW HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS.WHICH ARE ALMOST $2,000 JUST FOR THE ASSEMBLIES. AS OF NOW IT IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT SAFELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO APPLE CHEVROLET DEALER (8585 W. 159TH STREET, TINLEY PARK, IL 60487, (708)429-3000) TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST PERFORMED. THE MECHANIC LOCATED THE FAILURE CODE AS THE AIR BAGS SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAIN SYSTEM FAILED AND CAUSED THE PASSENGER'S SIDE INTERNAL DETECTION SYSTEM TO FAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

WATER SHORTED THE APP CIRCUITS AND CAUSED THE THROTTLE TO ACTIVATE WITH OUT DRIVER INPUT. WATER IS A POTENTIAL CAUSE FOR SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH POTENTIOMETER TYPE APP SENSOR'S THROUGH EXTENSIVE RESEARCH BETWEEN AUGUST 2019 AND SEPTEMBER 2020, I HAVE DETERMINED THAT A WATER INTRUSION PROBLEM INTO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL (IP) TO BODY HARNESS CONNECTOR, WHICH CARRIES THE APP SENSOR SIGNALS TO THE ECM/PCM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN MANY OF THE 2005-2018 GM PRODUCT LINE. WATER CAN ENTER THE CONNECTOR THROUGH BODY LEAKS AND MAY CAUSE AN INCREASE IN VOLTAGE ON APP 1 AND APP 2. ON SOME VEHICLES THIS CAN ALSO CAUSE A MALFUNCTION IN THE BPP/BRAKE SWITCH STATUS CIRCUIT. AS A RESULT THIS MALFUNCTION CAN MISTAKENLY APPEAR AS A PEDAL MISAPPLICATION IN THE EDR REPORT FROM THE SDM. THIS FINDING APPLIES TO MANY OTHER VEHICLE USING A POTENTIOMETER TYPE APP SENSOR BUT THE RESEARCH WAS DONE SPECIFICALLY ON GM VEHICLES. I HAVE ALSO DETERMINED WATER INTRUSION INTO THE CONNECTOR 109 ON THE FULL SIZE TRUCK LINE HAS THE POSSIBILITY TO CAUSE FALSE ACTIVATION OF THE APP CIRCUIT. USING WATER I HAVE CONFIRMED THAT WATER CAN CAUSE THE VOLTAGE INCREASE ON APP CIRCUIT 1 AND APP CIRCUIT 2 AND NOT ENTER REDUCED POWER MODE, IT ALL COMES DOWN TO SURFACE AREA EXPOSED AND SODIUM CONTENT IN THE WATER AS TO THE FINAL RESULTS. AS THESE VEHICLES BECOME OLDER THE LIKELY HOOD OF THESE EVENTS OCCURRING INCREASES. VEHICLES NEAR SALT WATER OR WHERE SALT IS USED ON THE ROADS ARE MORE LIKELY TO FAIL WITH HIGHER APP %. BECAUSE OF THE KNOWN WATER LEAK INTO THE CONNECTOR'S CONTAINING APP WIRES AND VERIFICATION THAT WATER CAN CAUSE FALSE ACTIVATION OF THE APP CIRCUITS. IT IS MY CONCLUSION IN RARE EVENTS THIS WATER COULD CAUSE FALSE ACTIVATION OF BOTH APP SIGNAL IN MANY OF THE 2005-2018 GM VEHICLES. THIS VEHICLE WAS USED FOR CONFIRMATION.

WHEN I GO TO PUT GAS IN MY CAR WHEN I GO TO START IT . IT DOESN'T WANNA START THE CAR WILL TURN OVER AND SPUTTER AND WON'T START YOU TURN IT OFF AND IT WILL STILL BE SPUTTERING ON IT'S ON WITH THE IGNITION OFF THAN AFTER MIN IT STOPS THAN U GO TO CRANK IT AGAIN DOES SAME BUT YOU HAFT TO PUT THE PEDDLE TO FLOOR TO GET IT TO LEVEL OUT YOU CAN'T PUMP GAS RUNNING IT MAKES A WIRED NOISE FROM THE THE GAS TANK ... IT IS AT GAS STATIONS WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND SOMETIMES ON HIGHWAY WILL SPUTTER ...EVEN SITTING A RED LIGHTS ...DRIVING

THE HID HEADLAMPS ON THE 2010 CAMARO SS ARE NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE THE ROAD WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS OVER THE LAST YEAR HAVE BECOME UNACCEPTABLY DIM. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF 2010 CAMARO SS THAT REPORT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MANY POINTING TO THE PROBLEM BEING THE HID SYSTEM REFLECTOR HOUSING GETTING DAMAGED BY THE HEAT FROM THE BULB CAUSING INSUFFICIENT LEVEL OF LIGHT BEING REFLECTED OUT IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. WITH THE SEVERELY DIMINISHED VISIBILITY FROM THE HEADLIGHTS A DRIVER CANNOT SEE FURTHER THAN 30 FEET OR SO IN FRONT OF THE CAR AT NIGHT. VISIBILITY IS MUCH WORSE IF RAIN PRESENT AT NIGHT. I'M FORCED TO USE MY CAR AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY INCLUDING NIGHT AND I HAVE BEEN VERY CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN FATALITIES REPORTED RELATED TO THIS ISSUE YET BUT IT S A MATTER OF TIME AND WE SHOULDN'T WAIT UNTIL THERE ARE FATALITIES OR INJURIES BEFORE THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED AND A RECALL IS ISSUED BY CHEVY. THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE OTHER UNSUSPECTING OWNERS THAT CONTINUE TO DRIVE THEIR CARS EACH DAY WITH THIS SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU

ALL FACTORY MAINTENANCE WAS COMPLETED AT A FACTORY SERVICE PROVIDER, ON OR BEFORE RECOMMENDED TIME/MILEAGE. AT 58K+/- MILES DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH ENGINE SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE DUE TO TIMING CHAIN FAILURE, CAUSING ENGINE TO SEIZE, CAR LOST ALL POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES WHILE ENTERING A TURN RESULTING IN NEARLY RUNNING OVER PEDESTRIANS OTHERWISE WALKING SAFELY ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET. GM HAS RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES WITH SAME ENGINE BUT NOT THE V6 CAMARO FOR A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. *TR

ENGINE CODE P008, TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT REQUIRED AT 75,000 MILE, APPROXIMATELY A $2000 REPLACEMENT COST, MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE EXACT SAME ENGINE HAS HAD RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM, CHECK ENGINE DOES NOT ALLOW THIS VEHICLE TO PASS CALIFORNIA SMOG, REGISTRATION OF THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE COMPLETED, LOCAL DEALERS NOT HELPFUL, ENGINE COULD SEIZE IF THE TIMING CHAIN ASSEMBLY FAILS CAUSE ACCIDENTS RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH.

P008 CODE. TIMING CHAIN ISSUES. IF THIS FAILS AND THE ENGINE SEIZES WHILE DRIVING,ALL OF US CAMARO OWNERS COULD BE IN ACCIDENTS. DEATH COULD EVEN OCCURED. I BOUGHT MY 2010 CAMARO FEBRUARY OF 2016. I'M AM THE 2ND OWNER AND ONLY PUT 66K MILES ON THE ENGINE. 85% TO AND FROM WORK. I'VE REPLACED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO GET RID OF THE P008 CODE BUT IT'S STILL THERE. YOU HAVE RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE WHY NOT US CAMARO OWNERS? PLEASE HELP IS!

THE 2010 CAMARO WITH THE 3.6L LLT MODEL ENGINE HAS PREMATURE TIMING CHAIN ISSUES. THESE CHAINS ARE STRETCHING OUT AND CAUSING PERFORMANCE ISSUES AND CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE. MY VEHICLE GAVE ME A DECREASED ENGINE POWER WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND DECREASED MY SPEED DRAMATICALLY. I HAD TO FLOOR THE GAS PEDDLE TO KEEP IT ABOVE 40 MPH IN A 65 MPH SPEED LIMIT. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOSED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A WORN TIMING CHAIN AND THAT 2 CAMSHAFTS WERE NOW OUT OF ALIGNMENT. GM HAS RECALLED ALMOST ALL OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINE AND TIMING CHAIN FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE ALSO DISCONTINUED USE OFF THE CHAIN ITSELF AND SELL A DIFFERENT MODEL FOR REPLACEMENT. BUT THEY REFUSE TO RECALL THE 2010 CAMARO FOR THIS ISSUE SO THE ONLY OPTION IS TO REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WITH THE NEWER ONE OUT OF POCKET.

AIR BAG SENSOR UNDER PASSENGER WIRING DEFECTIVE GIVING SERVICE AIR BAG CODE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES

I HAVE THE 2010 CAMARO V6, WITH ONLY 67,700 MILES. LIKE TOO MANY OTHERS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT GAVE A P0008 ERROR CODE FOR PREMATURE TIMING CHAIN WEAR. WHY HASN'T GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE CAMARO WITH THIS ENGINE WHEN THEY'VE ISSUED A RECALL FOR NEARLY ALL OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE?!? I SHOULD NOT BE FACING AN ESTIMATE OF OVER $2,000 TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN WITH ONLY 67,200 MILES!

HAD NEW TIMING CHAIN ADDED WITH OIL CHANGE ENGINE LOCKED UP. INSURANCE WON'T, HELP. PLACE I BOUGHT THE CAR WON'T HELP

SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING. COMES ON ONLY WHEN PASSENGER IN SEAT. PASSENGER PAD SENSOR FAULTY.

ON 2010 MODEL SS/RS WITH HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE HEADLAMPS (REGULAR PRODUCTION OPTION CODE T4F; I BELIEVE THE CODE IS), THE VISIBILITY OF THE HEADLAMPS IS SEVERELY DIMINISHED AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE OF YEARS DUE TO HEAT FROM THE REQUIRED ZENON BULB. HEAT FROM THE BULB, CAUSES THE PLASTIC REFLECTIVE DISH AT THE REAR OF THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY TO WARP AND CRACK THE MIRROR REFLECTIVE FINISH CAUSING DIMINISHED THROW (DISTANCE) FROM THE HEADLIGHTS. WITH THE SEVERELY DIMINISHED VISIBILITY FROM THE HEADLIGHTS, A DRIVER (ME) CANNOT SEE MUCH FURTHER THAN 30 FEET OR SO IN FRONT OF THE CAR AT NIGHT. IF RAIN IS PRESENT AT NIGHT, A DRIVER (ME) CANNOT SEE THE ROAD AT ALL EXCEPT FOR THE CENTER LINE STREET MARKINGS AND SOMETIMES THE ROAD SHOULDER OR CURB JUST NEAR THE FRONT END OF THE CAR. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY IN RAINING CONDITIONS. I HAVE CHANGED THE BULBS TWICE USING THE SAME MANUFACTURER BULBS BEFORE IDENTIFYING THIS DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING WITH NO CHANGE IN RESULT. THIS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL 2010 AND UP MODELS WITH HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE HEADLAMPS WITH SEVERELY DIMINISHED VISIBILITY PUTTING DRIVERS AT HARMS RISK AND OTHER DRIVERS AROUND VEHICLES WITH THE SAME DEFECT. MAKING IT DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE LINES IN THE ROAD ADEQUATELY, PEDESTRIANS, CONSTRUCTION MARKERS AND ROADWAY SHOULDERS AND CURBS AND COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS THAT COULD'VE BEEN PREVENTED. THERE HAS BEEN NO TSB OR RESPONSE FROM CHEVROLET THAT I COULD FIND REGARDING REMEDY TO THIS ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE RESEARCHED AND LOOKED AT. IT HAS TAKEN ME THIS LONG TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AFTER RESEARCHING WITH OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WITH THE DIFFICULTY TO DIAGNOSE THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS THE PROBLEM, OTHER UNSUSPECTING OWNERS CONTINUE TO DRIVE THEIR CARS EACH DAY WITH THIS SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. ISSUE IS INSIDE THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY.

NO AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ON RECENTLY PURCHASED VEHICLE. SEE CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED ON THIS AND MANY COMPLAINTS, BUT NO INVESTIGATIONS OR REACALLS. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION IN HER 2010 CHEVY CAMARO. THIS VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A KEY FOB RECALL AND THE RECALL WAS NOT DONE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING N/B ON HY 99 THROUGHT ACAMPO CA AND APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. IT WAS RAINING. THE CAR POSSIBLY HYDROPLANED IN THE RAIN BUT THEN SHE LOST ALL STEERING, BRAKES AND POWER AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT THE CAR LEFT THE ROADWAY AND THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT FRONT END IMPACT WHEN THE FRONT OF THE CAR HIT A DRAINAGE DITCH. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A UNCONTROLLED SPIN AND CAME TO REST BACK IN THE #2 LANE OF N/B HY 99. THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING WHEN THE CAR STOPPED. MY WIFE DID HAVE SEVERAL KEYS ON HER KEY RING. WE BELIEVE THAT SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE HAD THE FLAWED KEY FOB NOT SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. THERE WAS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH FRONT END IMPACT THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IF THE CAR WERE RUNNING WHEN THE COLLISION OCCURRED. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I EXPLAINED THE KEY FOB ISSUE TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE CHP OFFICER WHO TOOK THE ORIGINAL REPORT. NEITHER RESEARCHED THIS AND THEY DID NOT BELIEVE THIS FLAW COULD HAVE BEEN THE PRIMARY FACTOR IN THIS COLLISION. MY WIFE'S INJURIES WERE MINOR. WE ARE AT A LOSS AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. MOST ATTORNEYS WILL NOT TAKE THIS CASE BECAUSE THE INJURIES WERE MINOR. I TRUELY BELIEVE THIS CRASH WAS CAUSED BY THE FAULTY KEY FOB AND I DO NOT THINK THE INSURANCE OR THE CHP SHOULD HOLD MY WIFE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I WILL ATTACH PHOTOS OF OUR CAR SHOWING THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BUT DIDN'T. I CAN GET COPIES OF THE POLICE REPORT AND THE LETTERS I SENT TO MY INSURANCE AND THE CHP. CHP'S RESPONSE WAS THAT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR SHUT OFF, IT COULDN'T HAVE CAUSED THIS COLLISION. LIKE I SAID THEY DID NOT LOOK INTO THIS. ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

It doesn’t matter if someone is in the passenger seat or not, the airbag light keeps coming on on my dashboard saying that the passenger airbag has been disabled. The light will keep turning on and off even when someone is not in the passenger seat.
