2010 Chevrolet Camaro

I HAVE THE 2010 CAMARO V6, WITH ONLY 67,700 MILES. LIKE TOO MANY OTHERS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT GAVE A P0008 ERROR CODE FOR PREMATURE TIMING CHAIN WEAR. WHY HASN'T GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE CAMARO WITH THIS ENGINE WHEN THEY'VE ISSUED A RECALL FOR NEARLY ALL OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE?!? I SHOULD NOT BE FACING AN ESTIMATE OF OVER $2,000 TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN WITH ONLY 67,200 MILES!

I WAS DRIVING HOME ONE DAY AND THE CAR NO LONGER WANTED TO GO SO I SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY ROLLED DOWN A HILL AND WENT INTO THE PARKING LOT THE CAR NO LONGER WANTED TO START I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY OR THE ALTERNATOR SO I CHANGED BOTH I EVEN CHECKED MY OIL TO MAKE SURE I WAS GOOD ON THAT END I ENDED UP GETTING THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE HOUSE THE MECHANIC CHECKED IT OUT AND NO CODES WERE POPPING UP THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND RAN BUT I TRIED TO GO DOWN THE STREET AND IT JUST STOPPED THEN THE AREA AROUND MADE SOME STRANGE NOISES AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT MIGHT BE THE ENGINE I THEN TOOK IT THE SHOP AND I WAS TOLD IT'S THE ENGINE I JUST DIDNT NOT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS IT'S A 2010 CAMARO 6 CYLINDER WITH A 3.6 LLT ENGINE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH IT BUT I DON'T KNOW IF CHEVY EVER DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT IT WAS ON A CITY STREET WHEN IT STOPPED ITS JUST BEEN SITTING SINCE IT WENT BAD AND THE 2012 AND UP MODELS ENGINE COST AROUND $1700 BUT THE 2010'S ENGINE COSTS OVER $3000 MANY PEOPLE STATE THAT IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE BECAUSE OF HOW MANY PEOPLES ENGINES HAVE GONE BAD AND IT'S USUALLY AROUND 100K MILES IT'S WAS ALWAYS SERVICED AND WHEN IT WOULD STOP THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK UP AND WOULD NOT WANT TO START

ON 2010 MODEL SS/RS WITH HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE HEADLAMPS (REGULAR PRODUCTION OPTION CODE T4F; I BELIEVE THE CODE IS), THE VISIBILITY OF THE HEADLAMPS IS SEVERELY DIMINISHED AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE OF YEARS DUE TO HEAT FROM THE REQUIRED ZENON BULB. HEAT FROM THE BULB, CAUSES THE PLASTIC REFLECTIVE DISH AT THE REAR OF THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY TO WARP AND CRACK THE MIRROR REFLECTIVE FINISH CAUSING DIMINISHED THROW (DISTANCE) FROM THE HEADLIGHTS. WITH THE SEVERELY DIMINISHED VISIBILITY FROM THE HEADLIGHTS, A DRIVER (ME) CANNOT SEE MUCH FURTHER THAN 30 FEET OR SO IN FRONT OF THE CAR AT NIGHT. IF RAIN IS PRESENT AT NIGHT, A DRIVER (ME) CANNOT SEE THE ROAD AT ALL EXCEPT FOR THE CENTER LINE STREET MARKINGS AND SOMETIMES THE ROAD SHOULDER OR CURB JUST NEAR THE FRONT END OF THE CAR. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY IN RAINING CONDITIONS. I HAVE CHANGED THE BULBS TWICE USING THE SAME MANUFACTURER BULBS BEFORE IDENTIFYING THIS DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING WITH NO CHANGE IN RESULT. THIS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL 2010 AND UP MODELS WITH HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE HEADLAMPS WITH SEVERELY DIMINISHED VISIBILITY PUTTING DRIVERS AT HARMS RISK AND OTHER DRIVERS AROUND VEHICLES WITH THE SAME DEFECT. MAKING IT DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE LINES IN THE ROAD ADEQUATELY, PEDESTRIANS, CONSTRUCTION MARKERS AND ROADWAY SHOULDERS AND CURBS AND COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS THAT COULD'VE BEEN PREVENTED. THERE HAS BEEN NO TSB OR RESPONSE FROM CHEVROLET THAT I COULD FIND REGARDING REMEDY TO THIS ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE RESEARCHED AND LOOKED AT. IT HAS TAKEN ME THIS LONG TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AFTER RESEARCHING WITH OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WITH THE DIFFICULTY TO DIAGNOSE THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS THE PROBLEM, OTHER UNSUSPECTING OWNERS CONTINUE TO DRIVE THEIR CARS EACH DAY WITH THIS SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. ISSUE IS INSIDE THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING GEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ALL AMERICAN CHEVROLET OF KILLEEN (LOCATED AT 1802 E CENTRAL TEXAS EXPY, KILLEEN, TX 76541, (254) 213-5397) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,129.

MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION IN HER 2010 CHEVY CAMARO. THIS VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A KEY FOB RECALL AND THE RECALL WAS NOT DONE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING N/B ON HY 99 THROUGHT ACAMPO CA AND APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. IT WAS RAINING. THE CAR POSSIBLY HYDROPLANED IN THE RAIN BUT THEN SHE LOST ALL STEERING, BRAKES AND POWER AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT THE CAR LEFT THE ROADWAY AND THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT FRONT END IMPACT WHEN THE FRONT OF THE CAR HIT A DRAINAGE DITCH. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A UNCONTROLLED SPIN AND CAME TO REST BACK IN THE #2 LANE OF N/B HY 99. THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING WHEN THE CAR STOPPED. MY WIFE DID HAVE SEVERAL KEYS ON HER KEY RING. WE BELIEVE THAT SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE HAD THE FLAWED KEY FOB NOT SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. THERE WAS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH FRONT END IMPACT THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IF THE CAR WERE RUNNING WHEN THE COLLISION OCCURRED. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I EXPLAINED THE KEY FOB ISSUE TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE CHP OFFICER WHO TOOK THE ORIGINAL REPORT. NEITHER RESEARCHED THIS AND THEY DID NOT BELIEVE THIS FLAW COULD HAVE BEEN THE PRIMARY FACTOR IN THIS COLLISION. MY WIFE'S INJURIES WERE MINOR. WE ARE AT A LOSS AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. MOST ATTORNEYS WILL NOT TAKE THIS CASE BECAUSE THE INJURIES WERE MINOR. I TRUELY BELIEVE THIS CRASH WAS CAUSED BY THE FAULTY KEY FOB AND I DO NOT THINK THE INSURANCE OR THE CHP SHOULD HOLD MY WIFE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I WILL ATTACH PHOTOS OF OUR CAR SHOWING THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BUT DIDN'T. I CAN GET COPIES OF THE POLICE REPORT AND THE LETTERS I SENT TO MY INSURANCE AND THE CHP. CHP'S RESPONSE WAS THAT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR SHUT OFF, IT COULDN'T HAVE CAUSED THIS COLLISION. LIKE I SAID THEY DID NOT LOOK INTO THIS. ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
