2010 Chevrolet Camaro

TRUNK LATCH JUST STOPPED OPENING TRUNK. IT STILL MAKE THE SOUND THAT IT ALWAYS MADE BUT IT DOESN'T RELEASE THE LID. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE TRUNK IS TO PULL THE EMERGENCY TRUNK RELEASE INSIDE THE TRUNK AS THERE IS NO MANUAL KEY OPERATED RELEASE OF THE TRUNK FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUNK. MANY OTHERS HAVE VOICED THIS EXACT COMPLAINT POSTED ONLINE ON AUTOMOBILE FORUMS. ALSO REPLACING THE BULBS IN THE HEADLIGHTS SEEMS TO PRODUCE VERY POOR LIGHT FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. THE REPLACEMENT BULBS WERE 4300K HID BULBS 35W JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURERS EQUIPMENT, PURCHASED FROM A VERY RESPECTABLE PARTS SUPPLY COMPANY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V346000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE AN INTERIM FIX. A CASE MANAGER WAS SCHEDULE TO REVIEW THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE PERTAINING TO THE REMEDY OF THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE.

I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. IN ADDITION TO THE VEHICLE LOSING POWER, REDUCED SPEED VEHICLE DROPPED FROM 60 MPH TO 25MPH. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE VEHICLES COMPUTER HAD 5 ERROR MESSAGES & JUST NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE SECOND TIME OCCURRED A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER. I ADDRESSED THE MANUFACTURER & DEALERSHIP MANAGER...THEY SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THEY RESET THE COMPUTER AGAIN, AFTER THE 3RD INCIDENT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT THE DEALERSHIP PROVIDED ME A RENTAL & THOROUGHLY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO MAKING A GRINDING NOISE BETWEEN 20-30MPH BETWEEN 2ND & 3RD GEAR. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED BY AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALERSHIP SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THIS TIME THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS THE MAIN CULPRIT, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST ENTIRELY VOID OF OIL....THIS WAS IN BETWEEN THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE INTERVAL- APPRX HAD DRIVEN IN 4700 MILES THE GRINDING NOISE WAS SAID TO BE DUE TO LACK OF OIL BUT NO OIL LEAK WAS DETECTED. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE IN SEVERAL AUTO FORUMS & DISCOVERED THAT THE HIGH OUTPUT 3.6 LITER V6 ENGINES HAD A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR BURNING OIL & CAUSING THE ENGINE TO WEAR & BREAKDOWN PREMATURELY. DEALER ADVISED ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN EVERY 1000 MILES TO CHECK HOW QUICKLY THE OIL WAS BURNING IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THEY CONFIRMED THAT IF INDEED IT WAS BURNING OIL THEY WOULD REPLACE THE ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS, LOSS OF POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MULTIPLE TIMES IS VERY ALARMING & WAS NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY GM CUSTOMER SUPPORT - DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR WAS MORE HELPFUL THAN THE MANAGER. *JS

A ELECTRICAL FUSE SHORT HAS CAUSED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TO NO LONGER ACTIVATE/ TURN ON WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. THUS, WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT, THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. BOTH THE FUSE AND THE MODULE ARE REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED. NO DAMAGE OR CHANGE WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE TO CAUSE THE SHORTAGE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR DID NOT DETECT A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT, HAD TO PAY $$ TO HAVE THIS REPLACED. ON STAR RED LIGHT WAS ALSO ON THEN GREEN ON & OFF. ON STAR SAID IT A COMMUNICATION FAILED & WITH THE ACCIDENT NOTIFICATION. THE CAR WAS CHECKED AT DEALERSHIP SAME TIME THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS CHECKED. THEN CHECKED 2 MORE TIMES SINCE. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM & TOLD US THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE DASH & CONSOLE OUT TO FIND PROBLEM AT OUR EXPENSE & OUR EXPENSE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AGAIN. WE NOW HAVE THE CAR AT A DIFFERENT GM DEALERSHIP THAT HAS A TESTING INSTRUMENT FOR THE ANTENNA AND. IT CHARGING US FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR OFF SHOW ROOM AT DEALERSHIP FOR OUR DAUGHTER TO HAVE A DEPENDABLE SAFE CAR TO GET HER THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE. NO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HASN'T COVERED ANY OF THIS. *TR
