THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A "HILL ASSIST" FEATURE FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION CARS. IT DOES NOT RELEASE PROPERLY OR ACTIVATES IMPROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HOLDS EXCESSIVELY LONG ON INCLINES, WILL NOT RELEASE WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC OR EVEN ACTIVATES ON LEVEL GROUND WITH NO INCLINE! I HAVE COMPLAINED MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE GENERAL MOTORS SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHEN I TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE AND IT HAS BEEN CHECKED REPEATEDLY. IT IS ALWAYS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED!" I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE SERVICE PERSONNEL INCLUDING THE SHOP SUPERVISOR AND THEY ALL KNOW IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES! IT SEEMS TO BE A JOKE THAT THE SYSTEM OPERATES SO POORLY EXCEPT THAT I BELIEVE IT IS INEVITABLE THAT IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. EITHER TO MYSELF OR TO SOMEONE ELSE. THE MESSAGE BOARDS ARE FULL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FEATURE AND IT IS UNIVERSALLY DESPISED BY EVERYONE ON EVERY VEHICLE IT IS INSTALLED ON! I HAVE ASKED FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED OR REMOVED BY THE DEALER YET THEY TELL ME THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO SO. THE MESSAGE BOARDS HAVE FOUND A WORK AROUND SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING A YAW SENSOR WITHOUT THE LATERAL ACCELEROMETER THAT THE VEHICLE USES! I AM WILLING FOR THE DEALER TO DO THIS AT THEIR EXPENSE NOT MINE, BUT THEY REFUSE. IT IS A GM PART INSTALLED ON A GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE AND DOES NOT DISABLE THE STABILITY SYSTEM. ONLY THE HILL ASSIST PORTION. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE CLUTCH AND BRAKES AS I HAVE LEARNED TO OVER REV THE ENGINE TO DRAG IT OUT OF THIS LOCK POSITION TO SMOOTHLY MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. I AM COMPLETELY AWARE OF THE TECHNOLOGY AS I AM AN ASE MASTER AND L-1 CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN WITH OVER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING INCLUDING GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIPS! *TR

2013 CAMARO LS FUEL INJECTORS POSE A CHANCE AT BEING DEFECTIVE, AFTER BUYING THE CAR AND NOTICING TWO OF THE INJECTORS HAVING ALREADY BEEN REPLACED, I AM NOW LESS THEN A MONTH OF OWNING THE CAR.

THE CAR IS SUPPOSE TO PUT ITS SELF IN "LIMP" MODE REDUCING POWER AND THE CHANCE OF HARMING THE ENGINE, IT WILL ALSO DISPLAY A SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE. SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ARE REQUIRED TO ONLY REPLACE THE BAD INJECTORS HOWEVER IF YOU CONTACT CORPORATE GM THEY WILL WORK WITH YOU TO REPLACE THE REMAINING INJECTORS IF THE PROBLEM CONSISTS AS DID MINE. THERE ARE NO PREEMPTIVE SIGNS OF THE INJECTORS GOING BAD. OVERALL SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE PROVIDED. *TR
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2013 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Camero, Sonic, and Volt vehicles. The driver-side air bag inflator may explode during deployment due to a manufacturing defect.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the driver-side air bag module, free of charge. On some 2013 Volt vehicles, the steering wheel will be replaced as well, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 23, 2023. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300 and Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N232413120.
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.
General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Coupes manufactured June 9, 2013, through September 6, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the required air bag warning label on the sun visor may peel off. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208 "Occupant Crash Protection."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the air bag warning label detaches from the visor, the driver and front seat passenger may not be warned of the risks of air bag deployment, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and instruct owners how to inspect the visor sticker. As necessary, dealers will replace the sun visor, free of charge. The recall began on October 28, 2013. Owners may contact GM at 1-800-521-7300. GM's recall campaign number is 13284.
