VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY, NOT GO INTO SECOND GEAR, AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE REAR ENDED ABOUT 4 TIMES NOW. VEHICLE IS A STANDARD V6 AND HAS INTERMITTENT GEAR CLASH GOING INTO GEARS. WIFE WILL NOT EVEN DRIVE VEHICLE NOW CAUSE OF THIS. I HAD SENT AN E-MAIL TO YOU ON THIS ALREADY, BUT WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GOT IT AS I HAVE THREE OTHER FRIENDS THAT TRADED IN THEIR V6 MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAMARO CAUSE OF THIS. ALL BECAUSE GM, FAILS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE THEY ALREADY KNOW OF ISSUES FROM US V6 CAMARO OWNERS COMPLAINING. MY TWO DEALERS HAVE BEEN GREAT, BUT ONLY SO MUCH THEY CAN DO UNLESS GM ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE. IF GM, FAILS TO ADDRESS,THEIR ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION, I WILL SEE A LAWYER ABOUT THIS AND GO AFTER THEM, IT HAS BECOME A BIG SAFETY ISSUE NOW IN TRAFFIC. P.S. VEHICLE HAS WHAT GM CALL TRANSMISSION A AY6 TRANSMISSION, THAT THEY PUT IN THE V6 CAMARO WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION

CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES ALONG WITH REPLACEMENT OF BRAND NEW PARTS ON VEHICLE. EVEN AFTER ALL OF THE REPAIRS THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT PROPERLY WORK. THE TRANSMISSIONS WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ENGAGING INTO FIRST GEAR AND SECOND GEAR AT CERTAIN TIMES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE TRANSMISSION AND KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT AN OPERATING FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER VEHICLE IN THE PAST THAT HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND HAVE THE SAME EXACT ISSUES. GENERAL MOTORS HAS PROVIDED WARRANTY WORK ON THE VEHICLE BUT PROBLEMS STILL PERSIST EVEN AFTER A NEW TRANSMISSION AND NEW CLUTCH HAVE BEEN PUT IN THE VEHICLE. I FEEL UNSAFE AT TIMES TO BE DRIVING THIS CAR WHEN IT PREVENTS ME FROM DOWNSHIFTING INTO CERTAIN GEARS. *TR

I OWN A 2010 CHEVY CAMARO THAT HAS A STUBBORN CLUNKING SOUND THAT COMES FROM THE SUSPENSION WHEN DRIVING OVER IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD AT LOW SPEEDS. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE FRONT END BUT CAN'T BE SURE. DOES NOT IMPACT PERFORMANCE BUT DOES NOT SOUND RIGHT EITHER. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS AS WELL.

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.
GM IS RECALLING 1,243 MY 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO EQUIPPED WITH A V8 ENGINE. THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE MAY CONTACT THE STARTER MOTOR HOUSING AND CAUSE WEAR ON THE CABLE INSULATION. IF THE INSULATION WEARS THROUGH TO THE CABLE, IT COULD CREATE A SHORT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A SHORT COULD RESULT IN A NO START CONDITION, CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO RESTART, OR RESULT IN AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REROUTE THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE TO ENSURE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 6, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 OR AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
