2010 Chevrolet Camaro

2010 CAMARO RS, V6 MANUAL TRANSMISSION.--VEH SHIFTS HARD AND AT TIME'S CAN NOT GET INTO SECOND GEAR AND THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME 3 ACCIDENTS ALREADY. WHILE IM IN TRAFFIC--WHEN ITS NOT SHIFTING TO BAD, IT GETS WHAT I CALL GEAR CLASH, OR TECH TERM IS THAT IT IS THE SYNCROS IN TRANSMISSION GRINDING GOING INTO GEARS AS YOU SHIFT.- ALSO CLUTCH IS INTERMIT RELEASING HIGH AND CAUSES BIG JERK IN VEH LIKE SOMEONE PULLING ON E BRAKE AS YOU RELEASE CLUTCH. DEALER HAS BEEN GRAT [TWO OF THEM] BUT THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH THEY CAN DO UNTIL G.M. ADMITS THERE IS A PROBLEM, AND I KNOW 6 PEOPLE WHO ALREADY GOT RID OF VEH AS GM WONT COME UP WITH FIX, ON THE V6 MANUAL OR THE V8 MANUAL TRANS, WHICH V8 MANUAL HAS A SHIFT ISSUE THAT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IM REAR ENDED IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF VEH WONT GO INTO SECOND GEAR. IN WHICH SHOULD BE ADDRESS FOR SAFETY ISSUE. WIFE WONT DRIVE VEH NOW BECAUSE OF THIS. *KB

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

WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP IN BROOKDALE, MN. ON FREEWAY APPROX 70MPH WHEN CAR COMPLETELY GOES DEAD. QUICKLY I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND COMPLAINED TO DEALER. DRIVING IN ST CLOUD,MN AT INTOWN SPEEDS WHEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AGAIN. THEN IT ALSO SHUT DOWN TWICE ON ME IN BRAINERD, MN AT A SPEED OF 50MPH WHILE DRIVING NORMAL. THEN ON 3 MAY 2010 I WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE WITH 2 FRIENDS WHEN IT AGAIN SHUT DOWN AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THIS TIME WHILE ON THE CURVE I WENT INTO THE DITCH AND HIT A MAIL BOX. THUS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TOWED AND IS PRESENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP IN BRAINERD, MN. THIS CAR IS TO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE; WILL I HAVE A HEADON COLLISION WHILE TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER CAR? *TR
