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.

TPMS SYSTEM AND REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY FAILS TO OPERATE CORRECTLY AFTER INSTALLING NEW TIRES. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM EVEN WITH A CHANGE TO THE KEYLESS ENTRY MODULE. GM REPORTS THAT SOME TIRES HAVE TOO MUCH STEEL IN THE BELTS CAUSING THE SIGNALS TO BE BLOCKED OR BE INTERMITTENT WHICH CAN CAUSE DRIVERS TO DRIVE ON UNDER INFLATED TIRES. FAILURE OCCURS IN ANY TYPE OF DRIVING. GM NEEDS TO REPLACE THE SENSORS WITH ONES THAT PROVIDE A STRONGER SIGNAL TO COMPLY WITH THE TREAD ACT.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 1 YEAR. WHEN I GET TO 55MPH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKE SO BAD, IT'S UNBEARABLE. THIS HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALIGNMENT. THEY ALIGNED FOR ME. WELL IT RAN PRETTY GOOD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN IT STARTED BACK SHAKING. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS OR BRAKES OR SOMETHING TO THAT NATURE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A 18 WHEELER WHEN I STOP. THE ROTORS OR SOMETHING MAKE SOME KIND OF WOBBLING NOISE WHEN I DRIVE. I TURN THE RADIO DOWN QUITE OFTEN SO I CAN HEAR IF ANYTHING IS COMING OFF FROM THE BRAKES. I'M NOT PARANOID, BECAUSE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR ASK ME ALL THE TIME, "WHAT'S THAT NOISE". FOR ME TO HAVE A DECENT CAR LIKE THE CAMARO, I DON'T UNDERSTAND. CAN YOU PLEASE RUN A THOROUGH CHECK ON THE TIRES, ROTORS, BRAKES ON THESE CARS. ALSO CHECK THE TRUNK TOO, BECAUSE SOMETIME MY TRUNK WON'T OPEN WITH THE KEY NOR BY PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I PURCHASED A CAR OVER $30K AND I'M NOT GETTING ANY ENJOYMENT OUT OF IT. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE TOO FAR BECAUSE THE ROTORS OR SOMETHING MAY COME OFF. HELP PLEASE. *JS

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY CAMARO RS 2 LT. I AM EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WITH FRONT PS WHEEL "WASHBOARDING" ;FEELS LIKE DRIVING WITH A FLAT TIRE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED FRONT TIRES, STILL HAVE PROBLEM; THEY PRETTY MUCH WASHED THEIR HANDS OF THIS ISSUE, SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING... IT ONLY DOES THIS IN THE MORNING WHEN STARTING OUT, WHEN I DRIVE VEHICLE LATER IN THE DAY IT DRIVES FINE, BUT I NOW HAVE A METAL ON METAL SOUND COMING FROM THAT WHEEL SO ITS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. I LOVE THE VEHICLE, BUT AM INCREASINGLY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SITUATION AND LACK OF CONCERN WITH DEALER. I DON'T LIVE IN A COLD CLIMATE, JUST THE OPPOSITE, SO TIRE FLATSPOTTING ISN'T A CONSIDERATION HERE...AT TIMES, THE CAR ALSO SEEMS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AS IF ITS RIDING IN A ROAD RUT AND BEING "PULLED" TO ONE SIDE OR ANOTHER. AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY UNTIL ITS FINALLY RESOLVED; DON'T WANT TO HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN VEHICLE EITHER..... ISSUE STILL UNRESOLVED...... *TR

THE 2010 CAMARO RS PACKAGE ONLY COMES WITH PIRELLI P-ZERO TIRES, (P245/45/ZR20 IN FRONT, P275/40/ZR20 IN REAR). THESE ARE "SUMMER ONLY" TIRES. NEITHER GM NOR THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THIS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. IT WAS ALSO NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF THE PAPERWORK DESCRIBING THE VEHICLE OR IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS, WHERE WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE A GIVEN. I ONLY BECAME AWARE OF THIS AFTER THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL, WHEN THE VEHICLE BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IT SKIDS DURING EVEN AT LOW ACCELERATION AND DURING GENTLE BRAKING. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY OR GM COULD DO REGARDING THE SITUATION. THEY ARE SELLING THESE VEHICLES WITH "STANDARD EQUIPMENT" THAT IS CERTAIN TO MAKE THEM UNSAFE TO DRIVE FOR A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE YEAR IN MANY PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. THEY ARE GIVING THE BUYER NO WARNING OF THIS. THIS IS UNETHICAL AT BEST AND COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Official recalls

14V346000 · 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.
