2011 Chevrolet Camaro

^ 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION, BYPASS/LOCKOUT WILL NOT ALLOW CORRECT SHIFT FORCING VEHICLE TO HESITATE OR BE BECOME BOGGED DOWN. FORCES YOU TO 4TH GEAR OR 6TH. IN TRAFFIC THIS A HAZARD WHILE TRYING TO BUILD UP SPEED,FOR ON RAMP,MERGING,PASSING SOMETIMES CAR WILL STALL. ONLY TO CORRECT TEMPORARILY IS PULL ON SIDE OF ROAD AND STOP PUT CAR IN REVERSE THEN VEHICLE SHIFTS NORMAL FOR A SLIGHT WHILE. GM IS IN DENIAL!!! IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.

I TOOK THE CAR TO NASH CHEVROLET IN LAWRENCEVILLE, GA FOR THE RECALL WORK ON THE FOB (#14294).THEY PERFORMED THE WORK ACCORDING TO THE GM PROCESS. THE RESULT IS UNACCEPTABLE. NOW I HAVE A HOLE WHERE THE KEY WAS WHICH IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO DIRT AND WATER. SEE ATTACHED PICTURE. THE DEALER WILL NOT CORRECT AND DEFERS TO THE GM. GM WILL NOT CORRECT. YOU INITIATED THE CORRECTIVE WORK AND MUST HAVE APPROVED THE PROCESS. YOU ALL OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES! I'VE SEEN ON THE INTERNET A REPLACEMENT PLASTIC "COVER" THAT COULD BE INSERTED BUT WAS NEVER OFFERED THE SOLUTION. THE FEE WAS RUMORED TO BE $46. AGAIN, YOU ALL OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES! DON'T YOU THINK A SMALL CIRCUIT BOARD OPEN TO THE ENVIRONMENTS IS JUST AS DANGEROUS NOT TO MENTION AESTHETICALLY UNPLEASING? AT A MINIMUM, I AM REQUESTING THE APPROPRIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION TO BE TAKEN AND THE NHTSA RE-OPEN THE CASE AND INVESTIGATE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED, BUT WAS ABLE TO RESTART ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (JIM CAUSLEY BUICK GMC TRUCK, 38111 S GRATIOT AVE, CLINTON, MI 48036) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CHARCOAL CANISTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CANISTER WAS INFESTED WITH SPIDERS AND SPIDER WEBS THAT BLOCKED THE FLOW OF FUEL FUMES, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE FAILURE. NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

78000 MILES, TIMING CHAIN ISSUE, SPUN ROD BEARINGS, AND LOW COMPRESSION IN THE ENGINE. OIL AND MAINTENANCE DONE ON A REGULAR BASIS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT GO ON, NO WARNING SIGNS, AND DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF, KEPT RUNNING. I WAS GOING 40 MILES PER HOURS ON A HIGHWAY, WAS DRIVING AND STARTED HEARING THE ENGINE SOUND LIKE A TRACTOR TRAILER, HEARING BANGS EVERY 3/4 OF A SECOND. HEARING MULTIPLE REPORTS ON CAMARO FORUMS ABOUT THIS, AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE, CHEVY SAID IT IS AN OWNER ISSUE, I NEEDED TO GET MY ENTIRE ENGINE REPLACED BECAUSE OF IT. THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR 78,000 MILES ON A CAR, BUT I GUESS THAT IS WHY THEY BROUGHT THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY DOWN ABOUT THE SAME TIME PEOPLE STARTED REPORTING THESE ISSUES. CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY AND THEY SAID THEIR WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT BUT MAKE A REPORT ABOUT IT, AND IF THEY EVER COME AROUND TO A RECALL THEY WILL PAY ME BACK THE COST OF THE PRIOR REPAIR.
