2010 Chevrolet Camaro

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP AND GOING INTO 2ND GEAR IT GRINDS AND IS DIFFICULT TO GO INTO GEAR. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES ME TO LET OFF THE GAS AND THE RE-COMPRESS THE CLUTCH AND TRY TO PUT THE CAR INTO 2ND GEAR. DUE TO MY DECREASE OF SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN THE GRIND HAPPENS. I HAVE REPORTED MY PROBLEM TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION BY GM. WHILE DRIVING I TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTION TO ENSURE THERE IS NO VEHICLES AROUND WHEN I TURN AT AN INTERSECTION OR WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE READ THAT THERE IS A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND THEY HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM OR ARE IN THE PROCESS OF CORRECTING THE PROBLEM ON THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 CAMARO WITH THE AY6 MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND V6 MOTOR. I HAD THE PRESSURE PLATE BOLTS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AFTER MY TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT INTO FIRST,SECOND,OR ANY OF THE OTHER GEARS SUDDENLY AFTER 14,000MILES OF ADULT DRIVEN NORMAL USE..THE TECH FROM GM TOLD ME THE BOLTS WERE NOT TORQUED DOWN FROM THE FACTORY(AISIN/WARNER) AND HAD BEEN REDESIGNED BY GM.....OK. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS MATTER FURTHER I'VE FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND THE DEALERS AND GM ARE TRYING TO IGNORE THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS. THIS TRANSMISSION HAS A FACTORY TORQUE RATING THAT IS 273 FT LBS AND THE GM 3.6 VVT MOTOR THAT IS IN OUR CAMAROS PUTS OUT 278 FT LBS FROM THE FACTORY.SO RIGHT OFF THE BAT THE TRANS IS DESTINED TO FAIL PREMATURELY FROM THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM AND THEY ARE TRYING TO PASS THE COST OFF TO THE CUSTOMER IN ALOT OF CASES.I WAS ONE OF THE FORTUNATE ONES WHO HAD THE FIRST PROBLEM COVERED BUT NOW IM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR LIKE A SPORTS CAR IN FEAR OF FACING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS DUE TO GMS IRRESPONSIBLE ACTIONS BY PLACING AN INADEQUATE TRANSMISSION INTO AN AMAZING CAR.IM SURE YOUR AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FROM THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT NOT ALL HAVE WENT THIS FAR AS TO CONTACT YOU ON THIS SITUATION. THERE ARE FOUR TSBS OUT ON THIS PRESSURE PLATE ISSUE ALONE AS WELL AS OTHER MULTIPLE PROBLEMS THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND I TRULY FEEL THIS CAN BECOME A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GENERAL MOTORS AND NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVED IN BUYING AN AMERICAN PRODUCT ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THIS MAJOR FLAW IN PLANNING AND PURCHASING FROM AISIN/WARNER IS HAPPENING TO THE PUBLIC AND PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD WHO PURCHASED THIS CAR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND UNDERSTANDING AND I HOPE THIS HELPS IN RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM WITH GENERAL MOTORS. *TR

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

THE AY6 MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS MISSING AND GRINDING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO THE SECOND GEAR DURING ENGINE OPERATION ABOVE 5500 RPM. WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR ACCOMMODATES A VIOLENT GRINDING SOUND ORIGINATING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT HAVE GRINDING/HESITATION OR MISSED SHIFTING INTO ANY OTHER GEAR, EXCEPT THE SECOND GEAR. A VAST MAJORITY OF MANUAL TRANSMISSION V6 OWNERS HAVE BEEN REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. SOME OWNERS HAVE GOTTEN THEIR TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED BY GM ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM REOCCUR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS ANY MISSED SHIFTS MAY LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
