WHEN THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THEY WERE TOLD THAT A STONE BROKE THE CONDENSER ON THE POWER STEERING MODULE.

THE 2010 CAMARO RS PACKAGE ONLY COMES WITH PIRELLI P-ZERO TIRES, (P245/45/ZR20 IN FRONT, P275/40/ZR20 IN REAR). THESE ARE "SUMMER ONLY" TIRES. NEITHER GM NOR THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THIS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. IT WAS ALSO NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF THE PAPERWORK DESCRIBING THE VEHICLE OR IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS, WHERE WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE A GIVEN. I ONLY BECAME AWARE OF THIS AFTER THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL, WHEN THE VEHICLE BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IT SKIDS DURING EVEN AT LOW ACCELERATION AND DURING GENTLE BRAKING. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY OR GM COULD DO REGARDING THE SITUATION. THEY ARE SELLING THESE VEHICLES WITH "STANDARD EQUIPMENT" THAT IS CERTAIN TO MAKE THEM UNSAFE TO DRIVE FOR A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE YEAR IN MANY PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. THEY ARE GIVING THE BUYER NO WARNING OF THIS. THIS IS UNETHICAL AT BEST AND COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

I PURCHASED A 2010 SS CAMARO IN NORTHEAST OHIO. AFTER PURCHASE I FOUND OUT THAT THE CARS COME WITH "SUMMER ONLY" TIRES. THE TIRES DO NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT BEING "SUMMER ONLY" SO I TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR IN OUR WINTER SEASON. THE CAR IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE IN AS LITTLE AS AN INCH OF SNOW. I PURCHASED WINTER TIRES FOR THIS SEASON FOR OVER $1000.00. PIRELLE INFORMED ME THAT THE TIRES AN NOT TO BE USED IN TEMPS UNDER 41 DEGREES, THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING (2010) TEMPS IN FLORIDA WERE UNDER 35 DEGREES. THESE TIRES CAN NOT BE USED IN MORE THAN 50% OF AMERICA! WHY SHOULD A CUSTOMER OF A NEW CAR BE EXPECTED TO PURCHASE TIRES? THEN ARE UNSAFE AND UNUSABLE IN MOST PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. *TR

2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE DRIVER SEAT HAS AN AREA ON THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE THAT COMES UP BY THE CENTER CONSOLE. THIS AREA IS NOT COVERED IN MATERIAL WHICH EXPOSES THE SEAT FRAME AND PARTS.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP AND GOING INTO 2ND GEAR IT GRINDS AND IS DIFFICULT TO GO INTO GEAR. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES ME TO LET OFF THE GAS AND THE RE-COMPRESS THE CLUTCH AND TRY TO PUT THE CAR INTO 2ND GEAR. DUE TO MY DECREASE OF SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN THE GRIND HAPPENS. I HAVE REPORTED MY PROBLEM TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION BY GM. WHILE DRIVING I TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTION TO ENSURE THERE IS NO VEHICLES AROUND WHEN I TURN AT AN INTERSECTION OR WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE READ THAT THERE IS A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND THEY HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM OR ARE IN THE PROCESS OF CORRECTING THE PROBLEM ON THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

THE AY6 MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS MISSING AND GRINDING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO THE SECOND GEAR DURING ENGINE OPERATION ABOVE 5500 RPM. WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR ACCOMMODATES A VIOLENT GRINDING SOUND ORIGINATING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT HAVE GRINDING/HESITATION OR MISSED SHIFTING INTO ANY OTHER GEAR, EXCEPT THE SECOND GEAR. A VAST MAJORITY OF MANUAL TRANSMISSION V6 OWNERS HAVE BEEN REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. SOME OWNERS HAVE GOTTEN THEIR TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED BY GM ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM REOCCUR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS ANY MISSED SHIFTS MAY LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

2010 / 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO - FRONT SUSPENSION POPPING / CLUNKING NOISES WHEN HITTING BUMPS. IN SOME CASES, THERE WERE REPORTS OF THE STRUT PENETRATING THROUGH THE ENGINE FRAME.

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY CAMARO RS 2 LT. I AM EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WITH FRONT PS WHEEL "WASHBOARDING" ;FEELS LIKE DRIVING WITH A FLAT TIRE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED FRONT TIRES, STILL HAVE PROBLEM; THEY PRETTY MUCH WASHED THEIR HANDS OF THIS ISSUE, SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING... IT ONLY DOES THIS IN THE MORNING WHEN STARTING OUT, WHEN I DRIVE VEHICLE LATER IN THE DAY IT DRIVES FINE, BUT I NOW HAVE A METAL ON METAL SOUND COMING FROM THAT WHEEL SO ITS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. I LOVE THE VEHICLE, BUT AM INCREASINGLY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SITUATION AND LACK OF CONCERN WITH DEALER. I DON'T LIVE IN A COLD CLIMATE, JUST THE OPPOSITE, SO TIRE FLATSPOTTING ISN'T A CONSIDERATION HERE...AT TIMES, THE CAR ALSO SEEMS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AS IF ITS RIDING IN A ROAD RUT AND BEING "PULLED" TO ONE SIDE OR ANOTHER. AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY UNTIL ITS FINALLY RESOLVED; DON'T WANT TO HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN VEHICLE EITHER..... ISSUE STILL UNRESOLVED...... *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2010 CAMARO, IN AUGUST,2010, I NOTICED THIS FRONT END POPPING NOISE SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT 300 KMS, I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER,AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT,THEY AGREED THEIR WAS OBVIOUS A NOISE. THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAMARO UNTIL I MENTIONED THE TBS # PIO197 GM HAD IN PLACE. I WENT WITH THE SERVICE TECH. ON A ROAD TRIP AND HE AGREED THERE WAS A NOISE, HE FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS ACCORDING TO THE TBS,AND TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL GM ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM,AND WOULD HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE TSB, I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH OTHER CAMARO OWNERS WHO IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, WHO HAVE GONE TO THEIR DEALER AND HAVE THEM SAY IT IS NORMAL. OTHER PEOPLE THAT OWN THE CAMARO IS NOT EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM ,THEREFORE HOW CAN IT BE NORMAL WHEN ALL CARS DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. YOU PAY THIS KIND OF MONEY FOR A VEHICLE AND THIS IS THE SERVICE WE GET FROM GM IN RETURN,I FELT THAT WHEN YOU PURCHASE A VEHICLE FROM GM THEY ARE IS SUPPOSE TO BE FAITHFUL AND LIVE UP TO IT'S BINDING CONTRACT WRITTEN IN IT'S WARRANTY. MY FIRST CHOICE WAS TO PURCHASED A DODGE CHALLENGER, BUT CHANGED MY MIND BECAUSE I LIKE THE STYLE A LITTLE BETTER, BUT IF I COULD CHANGES THINGS I WOULD HAVE STUCK WITH MY FIRST CHOICE. I WILL BE DETERMINED TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND LET PEOPLE/ MEDIA KNOW THAT GM PRODUCTS/SERVICE AND THE QUALITY OF THERE PRODUCT IS JUST ONE BIG HEADACHE. AND DON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. WHY DON'T GM ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND FIX IT AND MAKE ALL US HAPPY CAMARO OWNERS,THIS PUBLICITY WILL NOT HELP THE SALE OF GM PRODUCTS. CHECK OUT THE FORUMS IN 5THGEN. CAMARO UNDER( POPPING IN THE FRONT END) IF YOU WANT TO SEE HOW MANY CAMARO OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. MY CAR IS IN WINTER STORAGE AT THE MOMENT WITH 1200 KMS ON IT, AND IS HOPING THERE WILL BE FIX IN PLACE BEFORE I TAKE IT ON THE ROAD IN THE SPRING. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS TO MAKE THE NHTSA AWARE OF A SAFETY HAZARD THAT EXISTS WITH CERTAIN 2011 CHEVROLET CAMAROS. I OWN A 1LT EQUIPPED WITH THE RS PACKAGE. THIS PACKAGE INCLUDES 20" RIMS. UNFORTUNATELY, SHORTLY AFTER TAKING POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE, I LEARNED THAT GM EQUIPS RS CAMAROS WITH PIRELLI P-ZERO TIRES. THESE TIRES ARE RATED AS "SUMMER ONLY" TIRES AND WILL POSE AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO THOSE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE IN SNOW, OR TEMPERATURES BELOW 45 DEGREES F--ESSENTIALLY MAKING THE VEHICLE UNDRIVABLE IN WINTER WEATHER. GM, NOR THE DEALERSHIP, WARNED THE DRIVER THAT THESE TIRES CAN ONLY BE USED IN THE SUMMER. UNAWARE DRIVERS MAY BECOME STUCK OR LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH, DUE TO THE TIRE'S LOSS OF TRACTION AND HARDENING OF RUBBER IN COLD/WINTER CONDITIONS. *TR

THE NEW CHEVROLET CAMARO HAS A DEFECT IN THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE CLUTCH TO BURN OUT AFTER ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL RECOGNIZED OVER THE INTERNET AND CLEARLY GM KNOWS ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALREADY DESIGNED A NEW CLUTCH WHICH WAS INSTALLED ON MY CAR LAST WEEK. HOWEVER THEY DID NOT NOTIFY ME AS A NEW OWNER OF THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DEFECT AND DID NOT EVEN NOTIFY MY DEALER UNTIL I BROUGHT THE CAR IN. I KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM A MONTH AGO BUT NEVER CONSIDERED THE POSSIBILITY OF A CLUTCH PROBLEM IN A CAR WITH ONLY 5,000 MILES ON IT. HAD I KNOWN OF THE PROBLEM, I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN ELECTIVELY RATHER THAN AFTER I COULD NO LONGER GET INTO 1ST GEAR OR REVERSE! *TR

CAR IS 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO SS WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION (LS3). PROBLEM: CRUISE CONTROL CAN BE ACTIVATED WHEN THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL.
