2010 Chevrolet Camaro

Vehicle Shipped in Unsafe Driving Condition I purchased this vehicle from Cars2us with a clear understanding that the vehicle was in good working order. I paid $500 for shipping along with $3,000 cash down. I purchased it from out of state so I had to have the vehicle shipped to my work site. When I received the vehicle off the trailer, it was borderline underivable due to the rack and pinion and power steering system being faulty. I immediately contacted the dealer and he agreed to have it repaired and advised me to “take it to a mechanic you trust”! I did so and the mechanic called me to inform me that the manager of the dealership tried to convince him to put junkyard parts on the vehicle to fix it. The mechanic was infuriated and insulted by this and advised me to contact an attorney. I paid the full amount for the repairs totaling over $2,000 because he did a job he was asked to do and rightly deserved to be paid for doing so. The mechanic and I tried multiple times to contact him for repayment and he has not paid nor responded. I have all of our conversations and will happily attach them to this email. I’m furious because the vehicle was knowingly shipped to me in an extremely dangerous condition and I was forced to drive it to my house 13 miles away as well as the mechanic shop another 6 miles. I emailed the Attorney General of Virginia and reported the incident. It’s my goal to protect other customers from experiencing this kind of behavior and treatment. If you could please help me out in any way it would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REAR AXLE WAS SLIGHTLY FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY 2010 CHEVY CAMARO 2LT IN 37,000 MILES THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE CALIPER GOT STUCK AND ATE UP MY ROTOR AND PAD. IN 40,000 MILES IT BROKE A VALVE SPRING. EVER SINCE THEY SAY THEY FIXED IT, IT STILL RUNS LIKE CRAP LOSS OF POWER, AND STILL MISSES BUT DEALER SAYS ITS FINE AND FROM DAY ONE EVERYTIME I GO OVER A BUMP AT ANY SPEED IT SOUNDS LIKE GLASS IS SHATTERING AND IT COMES FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION. ITS SAD THAT MY 1995 CHEVY PICKUP WITH OVER 300,000 MILES WITH ALL STOCK PARTS STILL RUNS BETTER THAN MY CAMARO. *TR

FRONT SUSPENSION IS VERY CLUNKY GOING OVER MODERATE BUMPS. WHEN THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS REBOUNDING ONTO A LOWER SURFACE IS BANGS HARD. I HAVE PASSENGERS THAT HAVE ASKED, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR CAR?" UPON HEARING IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. DEALERS RESPONSE IS ALL IS FINE, WE DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS. I TOLD THEM IT HAS SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING WITH IT IS DEFINITELY NOT NORMAL. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 CAMARO WITH A V6. EVERY TIME I RIDE DOWN THE ROAD, I HEAR A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT ALL THEY SAY IS THEY DON'T HEAR ANYTHING. I BELONG TO A CAMARO CLUB AND 90% OF THE OTHER CAMARO'S DO THE SAME THING. WE BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE STRUTS BUT OF COURSE GM DENIES THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG. THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL BEFORE TO MANY PEOPLE GET KILLED. WE HAVE PEOPLE IN OUR CLUB THAT HAVE 2012 CAMARO'S THAT DO THE SAME THING. MINE HAS DONE IT SINCE DAY 1 BUT LIKE I SAID THE DEALER ALWAYS SAYS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE, THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE LEFT FRONT AND REAR PINS AND CALIPERS WERE WEARING THE BRAKES DOWN BY SIXTEEN PERCENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 16,390. UPDATED 07/21/11 *BF THE SERVICE TECH STATED THE LEFT REAR AND LEFT FRONT BRAKES WERE WORKING AT ONLY 20%. THE TECHNICIAN STATED IT WAS DUE TO THE CONSUMER APPLYING BRAKES MORE THAN NORMAL. UPDATED 08/04/11

I OWN A 2010 CHEVY CAMARO THAT HAS A STUBBORN CLUNKING SOUND THAT COMES FROM THE SUSPENSION WHEN DRIVING OVER IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD AT LOW SPEEDS. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE FRONT END BUT CAN'T BE SURE. DOES NOT IMPACT PERFORMANCE BUT DOES NOT SOUND RIGHT EITHER. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS AS WELL. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FROM DEC 2009. *TR
