2015 Chevrolet Camaro

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE ON AN INCLINE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE MESSAGE 'HILL START ASSIST IS ON" WAS DISPLAYED ACROSS THE MESSAGE BOARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. UPDATED 09/25/15*LJ

PURCHASED CAMARO LS 2015 - JUNE 26, 2015 CAR MILAGE AT TIME OF FIRST INCIDENT 115 MILES STALLED X 3 #1 JULY 2, 2015 WHILE DRIVING 20 MILES PER HOUR (ENGINE SHUT DOWN, PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND STOPPED, CAR RESTARTED). #2 JULY 3, 2015 WHILE DRIVING 45 MILES PER HOUR IN MODERATE TRAFFIC (ENGINE SHUT DOWN, PUT IN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, CAR RESTARTED). #3 JULY 3, 2015 WHILE DRIVING HOME, ANOTHER ENGINE SHUT DOWN IN MODERATE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC AT 45 MILES PER HOUR, PUT IN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, CAR RESTATED). EACH OF THE ABOVE SHUT DOWN EVENTS SHOWED NO RPM WITH SUDDEN SLOWING OF VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC. I AVOIDED THE BRAKES FOR FEAR OF INCREASING RISK OF REAR END COLLUSION. IF SUCH AN EVENT OCCURRED ON A FREEWAY ON MODERATE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC, AT A SPEED OF 65 MILES PER HOUR WOULD CREATE A SERIOUSLY UNSAFE SITUATION. THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND I HAD THE DEALERSHIP PICK UP THE CAR FROM MY HOME 7-6-15.

PURCHASED ON 2/14/15-2 DAYS AFTER PURCHASED CAR SEAT BEGAN SQUEAKING & DRIVER SEAT CUSHION FRAME REPLACED. 2 WEEKS LATER THE CAR WAS HAVING STEERING ISSUES & POPPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WAS SERVICE ON 3/10/15 & REPLACED PROPELLER SHAFT FLANGE NUT, CLEAN & APPLY THREAD ADJUSTED REAR CAMBER ON RR AND REAR TOE ADJUSTED RF CAMBER & ADJUSTED FRONT TOE. ON 3/16/15, CAR WAS SERVICED DUE TO CRACKING NOISE FROM UNDERNEATH & THE DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER DRAIN OR PLUG REPLACEMENT WAS MADE; IN ADDITION ADDED FRICTION MODIFIER TO REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO REDUCE NOISE, ON THIS REPAIR ATTEMPT I WAS ALSO GIVEN A NEW 2015 CAMARO WHICH ALSO HAD SQUEAKING NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER WHICH I INFORMED MAC HAIK OF AND THEY STATED THEY NEEDED TO CHECK ALL VEHICLES TO SEE IF THIS WAS AN ISSUE. ON 3/27/15, CAR MADE KNOCKING NOISE ON STOPPING & TAKE OFF THE CAR WAS DRIVING WITH GM TECH BRIAN WHO HEARD THE SAME NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF CAR. PER REPAIR ORDER IT STATED THAT THE NOISE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DUPLICATED, HOWEVER WAS ADVISED BY TECHS THAT ALL SUSPENSION WAS TAKEN DOWN & PLACED BACK TOGETHER, SWOOSHING NOISE THAT I HEAR WHEN BACKING UP BOTH WERE NOT ABLE TO BE DUPLICATED PER MAC HAIK. ON 5/5/15, THE RADIATOR HOSE CAME LOOSE PER THE REPAIR ORDER CLAMPS WERE NOT PLACED ON PROPERLY. I HAVE ALL RECORDS OF SPEAKING WITH GM REPS AS WELL AS MAC HAIK REPS AND TO NO AVAIL WAS I ABLE TO GET HELP. I HAVE AN ATTORNEY AS OF TODAY AND GM WAS GIVING ONE FINAL ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE CAR RIGHT ON 5/21/15 FOR ALL ISSUES WITH THE CAR: SWOOSHING NOISE, CLUNCKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING, WOBBLING NOISE WHEN DRIVING AT 50MPH OR MORE, CLICKING NOISE WHEN PUTTING CAR IN GEAR, CAR SMELLS OF OVERHEAT, ON LEFT TURN HEARD A LOUD SPRING POPPING NOISE FROM CAR. THE CAR WAS GIVING BACK TO ME ON 5/22/15, AND PER THE TECH THERE WAS NOT REPAIRED, SIMPLY JUST LOOKED AT.

WE RECEIVED A 2015 CHEVY CAMARO CONVERTIBLE AS A RENTAL CAR. THIS CAR WAS FRESH OFF THE DELIVERY TRUCK WITH ONLY 6 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. BETWEEN THE AIRPORT AND OUR FINAL DESTINATION THAT EVENING, WE RACKED UP APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES. IN THAT TIME, THE CAR (ENGINE) STALLED/LOST POWER/CUT OUT 3 TIMES AS OF WRITING THIS COMPLAINT. THERE WAS NO LOSS OF BRAKES OR STEERING. THE CAR WAS PROVIDED WITH A TRADITIONAL KEY AND NOT THE GM SWITCHBLADE, AND THE DRIVER WAS NOT SITTING CLOSE ENOUGH TO BUMP THE KEY INTO THE OFF POSITION. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT NORMAL, AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. WHOEVER IS AT FAULT, GM OR THE RENTAL COMPANY FOR IMPROPER INSPECTION BEFORE PUTTING THE CAR IN THE RENTAL FLEET, NEEDS TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS IT IS DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY. *TR

AUTOMOBILE INEXPLICABLY LOST POWER, TWICE, (ENGINE STOPPED, NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES) WHILE DRIVING ON ROUTE 4 FROM LAKELAND TO THE ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. AN INQUIRY OF THE RECALL DATABASE REVEALS THAT THESE VEHICLES WERE SUBJECT TO A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS SPECIFIC EVENT. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT PROPERLY SERVICED FOR THIS RECALL BY HERTZ RENT A CAR AND SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN IN THEIR RENTAL FLEET PUTTING MY LIFE AT RISK. RES # G3801958844. RR65215040. *JS
