I PURCHASED MY 2010 CAMARO, IN AUGUST,2010, I NOTICED THIS FRONT END POPPING NOISE SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT 300 KMS, I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER,AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT,THEY AGREED THEIR WAS OBVIOUS A NOISE. THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAMARO UNTIL I MENTIONED THE TBS # PIO197 GM HAD IN PLACE. I WENT WITH THE SERVICE TECH. ON A ROAD TRIP AND HE AGREED THERE WAS A NOISE, HE FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS ACCORDING TO THE TBS,AND TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL GM ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM,AND WOULD HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE TSB, I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH OTHER CAMARO OWNERS WHO IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, WHO HAVE GONE TO THEIR DEALER AND HAVE THEM SAY IT IS NORMAL. OTHER PEOPLE THAT OWN THE CAMARO IS NOT EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM ,THEREFORE HOW CAN IT BE NORMAL WHEN ALL CARS DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. YOU PAY THIS KIND OF MONEY FOR A VEHICLE AND THIS IS THE SERVICE WE GET FROM GM IN RETURN,I FELT THAT WHEN YOU PURCHASE A VEHICLE FROM GM THEY ARE IS SUPPOSE TO BE FAITHFUL AND LIVE UP TO IT'S BINDING CONTRACT WRITTEN IN IT'S WARRANTY. MY FIRST CHOICE WAS TO PURCHASED A DODGE CHALLENGER, BUT CHANGED MY MIND BECAUSE I LIKE THE STYLE A LITTLE BETTER, BUT IF I COULD CHANGES THINGS I WOULD HAVE STUCK WITH MY FIRST CHOICE. I WILL BE DETERMINED TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND LET PEOPLE/ MEDIA KNOW THAT GM PRODUCTS/SERVICE AND THE QUALITY OF THERE PRODUCT IS JUST ONE BIG HEADACHE. AND DON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. WHY DON'T GM ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND FIX IT AND MAKE ALL US HAPPY CAMARO OWNERS,THIS PUBLICITY WILL NOT HELP THE SALE OF GM PRODUCTS. CHECK OUT THE FORUMS IN 5THGEN. CAMARO UNDER( POPPING IN THE FRONT END) IF YOU WANT TO SEE HOW MANY CAMARO OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. MY CAR IS IN WINTER STORAGE AT THE MOMENT WITH 1200 KMS ON IT, AND IS HOPING THERE WILL BE FIX IN PLACE BEFORE I TAKE IT ON THE ROAD IN THE SPRING. *TR

Official recalls
214V346000 · Electrical System:ignition
Jun 20, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling all 2010-2014 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles manufactured December 3, 2008 to May 23, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position could cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will remove the key blade from the original flip key/RKE transmitter assemblies, and provide two new keys and two key rings per key. The recall began August 25, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14294. Note: Until the recall has been performed, it is very important that drivers adjust their seat and steering column to allow clearance between their knee and the ignition key.
