2010 Chevrolet Camaro

I HAVE THREE ISSUES FOR MY CAMARO 2010. FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT IS THE THE TIMING CHAIN, THE CHAIN MOVED AND ACTIVATED THE CAM SENSORS. THE COST TO CHANGE IT IS PRINCELY. SECOND , THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER IS ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND PAID AND STILL THEY COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE SO THEY WANTED MORE MONEY. THIRD, THREE OF THE TIRE SENSORS WHEN ON AND DEALER WANTS MORE MONEY. THE CAR RUNS WITH POOR PERFORMANCE SO I STOP USING IT.

AFTER PUTTING GAS IN MY CAR 1 MILE DOWN THE ROAD MY ENGINE STARTED TO KNOCK I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC HE SAID ENGINE WAS BAD I CALLED GM FOR HELP I WAS UNDER THE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILE WARRANTY BUT THE YEAR OF MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 8 YEAR GM TOLD ME TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND THEY WOULD PAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT THEIR DEALERS SAID IT NEEDS A TIMING CHAIN I HAD TIMING CHAIN REPLACED ONCE ALREADY ON IT AT 51000 MILES AND NOW AT 96,000 MILES IT WENT AGAIN I MADE APPOINTMENT FOR FOLLOWING WEEK TO GET IT FIXED THEY TOLD ME I COULD DRIVE IT BUT TOO BABY IT THE DAY BEFORE I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET IT FIXED THE ENGINE LOCKED UP ON ME AND WAS STRANDED WITH NO CELL SERVICE WITH MY DAUGHTER NOT TO MENTION IT WAS SNOWING OUT AFTER LOOKING INTO IT I FOUND OUT THESE ENGINES ARE KNOWN FOR BURNING OIL LIKE A COUPLE QUARTS OR 3 BETWEEN OIL CHANGES THESE ENGINES ARE IN THE CADILLAC CTS AND A BUNCH OTHERS AND ARE KNOWN FOR WEAK TIMING CHAIN GM EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THOSE TIRES FOR 120000 MILES 10 YEARS BUT THEY REFUSED TO DO THAT FOR THE CAMARO WHICH HAS THE SAME ENGINE IF THEY DID NOT TELL PEOPLE TO CHANGE OIL AT 15000 MILES OR 10000 MILES THIS PROBLEM WOULD NEVER HAPPEN ALSO THERE IS NO OIL LOW OIL LIGHT SO WHEN YOU GO BY WHAT YOUR CAR TELLS YOU TO YOU WILL LOSE YOUR TIMING CHAIN THIS IS GM'S FAULT THEY HAVE YOU GO TOO FAR IN BETWEEN TO CHANGE YOUR OIL AND THESE ENGINES BURN OIL BAD AND GM HAS KNOWN FOR YEARS IF YOU GO ON CAMARO FORUMS THAT'S ALL YOU HEAR ABOUT WITH THE 2010 CAMAROS AND CADILLAC CTS AND ACADIA RAYBURN OIL BAD AFTER VON HOLZEN ASHLAND WISCONSIN TOLD ME GM WOULD NOT HELP THEY OFFERED ME $1,000 FOR A NEW CAR THAT IS A SLAP IN THE FACE HOW DISRESPECTFUL CAN YOU BE IT SEEMS LIKE GM ONLY WANTED TO GET ME IN THE DOORS OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS SO I WOULD BUY A NEW CAR BECAUSE THEY KNEW MY CAR WAS ALREADY OUT OF WARRANTY SO I OFFER TO HV IT LOOKED AT IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HELP.

GMC ACADIA, SATURN OUTLOOK 2007-2009,CADILLAC CTS,SRX,STS ;2009 MODEL YEAR BUICK ENCLAVE,CHEVY TRAVERSE, WHAT THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON IS THEY ALL USE THE SAME PART NUMBER TIMING CHAIN AS THE 2010 CAMARO. THE ABOVE MENTIONED VEHICLES GET THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED AT NO CHARGE BUT CAMARO OWNERS HAVE TO COVER THE COST OF OVER $2K. THE CAMARO'S NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE GM EXTENDED WARRANTY SO THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT CAN BE COVER.

ONE EVENING I GOT IN MY CAR AND TURNED THE HEATER ON. IMMEDIATELY, MY WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP AND THE AIR COMING OUT OF THE VENTS HAD A VERY STRONG ODOR, WHICH SMELT LIKE COOLANT. FOR THE ENTIRE DRIVE (20 MIN) I COULD NOT GET THE WINDSHIELD TO DEFOG. THE NEXT DAY, I DROVE MY CAR AND IT WAS RUNNING EXTREMELY HOT (ABOUT 220-250F). WHEN I PARKED, I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS LEAKING COOLANT. I TRIED TO LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK, BUT IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE CAR- ABOUT WHERE THE RADIO IS. NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCATE THE LEAK, I FILLED UP THE RADIATOR WITH WATER TO GET ME HOME WITHOUT OVER HEATING. WHEN I GOT HOME I FOUND A LARGE PUDDLE OF COOLANT WHERE MY CAR WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND MANY OTHER CAMARO OWNERS WHO HAD FOGGY WINDSHIELDS, COOLANT SMELL IN HVAC SYSTEM, AND LEAKING COOLANT. THEY SAID THESE WERE THE SIGNS THAT THE HEATER CORE "WENT OUT." I THEN WENT TO LOOK NEAR MY HEATER CORE, AND SURE ENOUGH, I HAD COOLANT ON MY PASSENGERS FLOOR BOARD AND FOUND DRIPS OF COOLANT BELOW THE HEATER CORE. MANY OF THE CAMARO OWNERS HAVE SHARED THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH HAVING THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE FRONT SEATS, WINDSHIELD, AND DASH HAVE TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE. THIS IS ON AVERAGE ABOUT A $2000 REPAIR AT A DEALERSHIP. WITH HOW MANY CASES THERE SEEMS TO BE JUST FROM A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE, THIS SHOULD BE ISSUED A RECALL! THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN- HOT COOLANT COULD HAVE DRIPPED ON MY PASSENGER'S FEET AND BURNT THEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ON AND OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN JANUARY OF 2015. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,433. UPDATED 09/10/15*LJ UPDATED 11/02/2017*CN

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS INTERMITTENT. I HAVE ONSTAR. ONSTAR SAID IT WAS A CAMSHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR. I WAITED AND THE LIGHT WAS STILL OFF A LONG TIME, BUT CAME ON AND ONSTAR SAID IT WAS CAMSHAFT SENSOR AGAIN AND ANOTHER CODE P008. I FINALLY WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD TIMING BELT AND THAT MY WARRANTY WAS NOW UP. THEY WOULD NOT HELP, I CALLED GM AND THEY DENIED A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINES. BUT OFFERED A 20 % DISCOUNT IF I USED A CHEVY DEALER. I HAVE SEEN MANY ARTICLES ONLINE ABOUT BAD TIMING CHAINS IN THE V6 ENGINES. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD PAY FOR A KNOWN DEFECT. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2009. THANK YOU
