2010 Chevrolet Camaro

THE AC COMPRESSOR IN VEHICLE KEEPS GOING OUT. ITS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES SINCE OCTOBER 2014. IT DOES NOT COOL VEHICLE, MECHANICS HAVE CHECKED FOR LEAKS AND OTHER ISSUES THAT MAY BE CAUSING IT TO GO OUT BUT IT JUST SEEMS TO BE A BAD OEM PART. AFTER EACH FIX THE AC WORKS FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR LESS BEFORE GOING OUT AGAIN. NOW THE COMPANY IS REFUSING TO SEND A REPLACEMENT OR AN UPGRADED PART FOR A FIX THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY STILL AND WITH SUMMER IN THE SOUTH COMING AND NO AC THIS CAN BE A PROBLEM EVEN WITH WINDOWS DOWN. THE MECHANIC FOUND A TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE OF THE COMPANY KNOWING THIS WAS AN BACK IN 2011 YET I RECEIVED NO BULLETIN PRIOR TO 2014 OR ASSISTANCE GETTING THIS FIXED. I MADE CALLS TO THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT AND BECAUSE I WAS JUST OVER THE 80,000 MILES FOR THIS PART BUT UNDER 100,000 MILES BUMPER TO BUMPER THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND NO ASSISTANCE WITHOUT PAYING AN ADDITIONAL FEE TO DIAGNOSE AND REPLACE AT OVER $1000 AFTER I ALREADY FORKED OUT $400 ORIGINALLY. *TR

DUE TO A STRUCTURAL DEFECT OF THE CAR , WATER ACCUMULATED AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED COMPLETELY. THE DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THAT THERE WAS A STRUCTURAL DEFECT RELATED TO THE SUNROOF . THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER SINCE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED . THEREFORE THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING , AND I WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE CAR SINCE ALL POWER FAILED . THIS WAS AN IMMEDIATE LIFE THREATENING DANGER . THE DEALERSHIP " REPAIRED " THE PROBLEM AFTER AN EXTENSIVE ASSESSMENT WHICH INCLUDED CORRESPONDENCE WITH GENERAL MOTORS . THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $1200 . MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS MAY BE A LIFE THREATENING SAFETY HAZARD IN OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL . I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED THE FULL AMOUNT OF THIS REPAIR SINCE THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT . THE OUTCOME OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC . PLEASE ADVISE ME ON HOW I WOULD IMPLEMENT THE PROCESS OF REIMBURSEMENT . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V346000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE. UPDATED 7/9/15*CN UPDATED 10/11/2017*CN

FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS THERE HAS BEEN A TEAR IN THE TOP OF THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IT APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING UNDER THE DASH IS PUSHING UP TO CREATE THE SLIT IN THE DASH. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT IS THE AIRBAG AND I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS GETTING READY TO GO OFF ON ITS OWN OR EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT AS IT IS GROWING. THE SLIT OR TEAR IS APROX. 4 INCHES LONG AND THE BUMP UP IS TO THE RIGHT OF IT. *TR

AIR BAG SENSOR BEGAN GOING OFF ON MY 2010 CAMARO ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ALMOST $1000 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHICH AIRBAG SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THEY ALSO COULD NOT TELL ME IF THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY IF VEHICLE IS HIT. THEY DID LOOK FOR AIR BAG RECALLS AND FOUND NONE; HOWEVER, THE FACT THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE IF THEY AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT I AM ASKING YOU TO LOOK INTO. A CAR THIS NEW SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANY SAFETY ISSUES. ALL SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AT THE GM DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. *TR

2/25/15 - (CAMARO 2010 SS2, AUTO) UPON STARTUP THE "CHECK AIRBAG " ALARM SOUNDED AND DISPLAYED FOR ABOUT 5-8 SECONDS, AND THEN NORMALIZED. I DROVE ABOUT TOWN 15-20 MILES WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. 3/3/15 - WHILE DRIVING UNTO CITY STREET, THE "CHECK AIRBAG" ALARM SOUNDED AND FLASHED A MOMENTARY NOTICE TO HAVE AIRBAG SERVICED. I DROVE ABOUT 350 MILES, STOPPING AND STARTING AT VARIOUS TIMES WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENCE. 3/14/15 - WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET (ABOUT 2 MILES FROM HOME), THE SAME OCCURRENCE AS ABOVE WAS NOTED. I KEEP MY CAMARO SPOTLESS AND MOSTLY IN THE GARAGE. I'VE DISMISSED THESE INCIDENTS, BUT AFTER READING OTHER REPORTS OF SIMILAR RESPONSES, I FEEL COMPELLED TO MAKE OFFICIAL NOTE THEREOF. *TR

I HAVE WHAT I BELIEVE A HEATER CORE GOING BAD. WITH THE HEAT ON I HAVE A VERY STRONG MAPLE SYRUP SMELL AND MY WINDSHIELD FOGS UP REALLY BAD WHEN IT IS COLD OUT. I ONLY HAVE 30K MILES ON MY CAMARO AND RARELY USE THE HEAT. IT IS OBVIOUSLY LEAKING. IT US A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT CAN GET DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN YOUR ENTIRE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP, ALSO BREATHING IN THE ANTIFREEZE FUMES. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR CAME ON. IT GOES ON/OFF AT WILL. IT APPEARS AFTER READING OTHER POST, THAT THIS IS A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE SEAT AND THE DEALERS KNOW ABOUT IT. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL? I AM NOT SURE IF AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY ACCIDENTALLY OR IF IT WON'T DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT. EITHER WAY, IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT, THEY ARE SURE THE GET INJURED. *TR

THIS CAR IS ONLY DRIVEN IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. ON OCCASION I TAKE IT OUT WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE AND THERE ISN'T ANY SNOW JUST TO WASH IT AND RUN IT BECAUSE IT STAYS PARKED IN THE WINTER. WHILE I WAS OUT,THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IT NEEDS A TIMING CHAIN ALREADY AND IT WILL COST BETWEEN 800.00-1,000.00 TO FIX. OF COURSE IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE 5 YEAR/ 100,000 MILE WARRANTY BECAUSE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN 2009 WHICH IS OVER THE 5 YEARS BUT STILL UNDER THE MILEAGE. I DID MY RESEARCH ON IT AND THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE TIMING BELT ON THESE ENGINES BUT GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE CONSUMERS ARE DISHING OUT MORE MONEY. THIS IS SOMETHING GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS! *TR
