2001 Chevrolet Camaro

HAVE HAD 2 SETS OF ROTORS ON THIS CAR SINCE PURCHASED. NOW NEEDS ANOTHER SET. WARRANTY WILL NO LONGER COVER THIS. CAR IS DRIVEN LESS THAN 20 MILES PER DAY, AND CURRENTLY HAS 28K ON THE 3RD SET OF ROTORS, DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL. THIS IS NOT NORMAL!! CAR SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. IT IS A PERFORMANCE CAR, AND SHOULD IT BE DRIVEN LIKE ONE, THE ROTORS MAY HEAT, WARP AND CAUSE A HAZARDIOUS CONDITION THAT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH!. DEALERS HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS, & SO DOES CHEVROLET, WHY ARE THEY DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS? *AK

DISK BRAKE ROTORS. THE DISK BRAKE ROTORS WARP SO OFTEN THAT THEY CONSTANTLY NEED TURNED OR REPLACED. I HAVE HAD THEM TURNED AT APPROX 11000 MILES AND THEY ALREADY NEED ATTENTION AGAIN. THEY MAKE INTERMITANT NOISE AND YOU CAN FEEL THE WOBBLE WHEN YOU GO TO STOP. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE ROTORS.*AK

2001 CAMARO SS WITH LS1 ENGINE, HAS TERRIBLE PISTON SLAP THAT LASTS FOR OVER 5 MINUTES, VERY LOUD, AND HAS TO BE CAUSING WEAR IN THE CYLINDERS. THIS IS A COMPLAINT THAT MANY OWNERS SEEM TO HAVE BUT MINE LASTS VERY LONG AND IS VERY LOUD. PEOPLE KEEP ASKING ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY ENGINE AS IT SOUNDS VERY BAD FOR THE FIRST 5 - 8 MINUTES ESPECIALLY WHEN COLDER OUT.*AK

PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE CUTTING OFF.*MR THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, IT DIED TWICE AS IT WAS BEING MOVED ON THE LOT. IT WAS EXPLAINED AS CARBON BUILD-UP AND THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN ON A TRUCK FOR A WEEK FROM ANOTHER DEALER. THE MOTOR WAS PINGING AND A MECHANIC STATED IT WAS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THAT PARTICULAR MOTOR, APPARENTLY DUE TO A DESIGN DEFECT, THE OUTER CYLINDERS DID NOT COOL EFFICIENTLY WHICH RESULTED IN A SCORCHING OF THE CYLINDERS, RINGS AND PISTONS, WHICH WAS THE SOURCE OF THE PINGING. THE CONSUMER DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF AT THE DEALER AND AFTER TEARING DOWN THE MOTOR, IT WAS DETERMINED THE MOTOR WAS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THERE WAS A NATIONAL BACK ORDER FOR THAT PARTICULAR MOTOR. *CB *JB

THE ORIGINAL MOTOR IN THIS VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE. POOR DESIGN DOES NOT ALLOW THE OUTSIDE CYLINDERS TO COOL PROPERLY RESULTING IN A SCORCHING AND BREAKDOWN OF THE PISTON, RINGS AND CYLINDER WALLS. GM IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM (AND HAS BEEN FOR SOME TIME) AND IT IS LARGE ENOUGH THAT GM IS CURRENTLY UNABLE TO PROVIDE ENOUGH REPLACEMENT MOTORS TO CUSTOMERS. *LA

CONSUMER STATES THAT LAST WEEK SHE COULD NOT GET INTO VEHICLE, BECAUSE BATTERY WAS GONE. SHE CALLED AAA, AND THEY GAVE HER A JUMP START, AND SHE DROVE VEHICLE TO WORK, IT WAS OK, UNTIL SHE WAS READY TO COME HOME. SHE HAD TO GET ANOTHER JUMP. SHE HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER, AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SHE ALSO STATED THAT AAA TOLD HER IT LOOKED AS THROUGH ACID WAS LEAKING ALL OVER BATTERY. SHE WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE BECAUSE WHEN SHE GOT WHERE SHE IS GOING IT MIGHT NOT BRING HER BACK HOME.*AK
