THE 2010 CAMARO SS AUTOMATIC IS EQUIPPED WITH THE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WHICH DEACTIVATES THE VALVES ON FOUR CYLINDERS AT LOW SPEEDS. UPON ACCELERATING THE FOUR CYLINDERS ARE RE-ACTIVATED AND A SURGE OF APPROXIMATELY 200 HUNDRED HORSEPOWER IS SENT TO THE REAL WHEELS WHICH CAUSES A TRACTION LOSS AND LOSS OF CONTROL ON ICY OR SNOW COVERED ROADWAYS. THIS IS A HAZARD WHICH CAN CREATE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO THE REAR WHEELS LOSING TRACTION AND SLIPPING. THE DEALER HAS CHECKED MY VEHICLE AND STATED THAT GM CONSIDERS THIS NORMAL AND NOT A PROBLEM. *KB
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.
