2016 Chevrolet Camaro

I HAVE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT TWICE BASED ON THE TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY AND THE CAR LOOSING TRACTION BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. CHEVY HAS FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION 3 TIMES WITH NO CHANGE. 3 WEEKS AGO THE ENGINE FAILED WHILE I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON A HIGHWAY. THIS CAUSED A TRUCK TO ALMOST RAM THE BACK OF MY CAR AND ANOTHER CAR ALMOST HIT ME AS I TRIED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER. AUTO NATION CHEVROLET ON LEE VISTA BLVD, ORL. FLORIDA. THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN TAKEN APART INTO MANY PIECES AND MUCH OF IT IS SITTING ON THE DEALERSHIP SHOP FLOOR. THE MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE VALVE CASING AND A DEFECTIVE SPRING..DAMAGING THE CAMSHAFT. ALL VALVES AND SPRINGS AND CAMSHAFT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. CHEVY HAS DECLINED MY REQUEST FOR A NEW ENGINE..THEY SAID THAT DECISION IS UP TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER. I SPOKE TO HIM...HE SAID THAT THE COST TO REPLACE THE ENGINE MUST BE WITHIN A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS VS REBUILDING THE ENGINE FOR HIM TO AUTHORIZE THAT THE ENGINE BE REPLACED.. THIS IS NOW 3 WEEKS IN DURATION WITH NO CAR, WHICH COST ME CLOSE TO $50,000 AND ALMOST HAS CAUSED ME TO BE IN 3 ACCIDENTS. I AM APPEALING FOR YOUR INTERVENTION.

DURING ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION, THE 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS SEEMS TO JUMP AS IF IT IS MISSING GEARS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR SOME MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2016 WITH ONLY 12 MILES. DIAGNOSTIC TESTING HAS BEEN PERFORMED AND NOTHING HAS BEEN FOUND. HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. ALSO, THE BACKUP CAMERA, RADIO, AND ENTIRE MYLINK SYSTEM WENT OUT. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE HMI MODULE WAS BAD--THE CAR WAS NOT 3 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS A $1000 DEALERSHIP REPAIR TICKET. GM HAS STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. ALSO, OTHERS IN THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS OUTSIDE LICENSED REPAIR SHOPS SAID THEY HAD THE SEEN THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE CAMARO.

MY TRANSMISSION JERKS AND RUMBLES, AS IF I AM DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STROPS. IT JERKS WHEN I PUT IT INTO GEAR. IT JERKS AND RUMBLES WHEN I ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE. WHEN I GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE IT JERKS FORWARD AND ACTUALLY MOVE FORWARD A FEW FEET WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE GAS. AND THE SAME WHEN I AM STOPPED WAITING FOR A LIGHT, IT FEELS LIKE I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. ITS A VERY ROUGH AND HARD JERK FORWARD. THE TRANSMISSION JERKS CHANGING GEARS IN DRIVE AND WHILE DRIVING, EVEN IN REVERSE. ITS A HORRIBLE SCARY RUMBLE JERKING. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL JUST TAKE OFF BY ITSELF. THE INCIDENTS HAPPEN ON ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS, CITY STREETS, HIGHWAY, TURNING, SLOWING DOWN, COASTING. ESPECIALLY TURNING IT JERKS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS FOR OVER A YEAR. I BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE MY CONCERNS, BUT IT DID IT WHEN I DROVE OFF AND BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION AT THAT TIME. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS EVENT FOR THE PAST TWO OR SO YEARS.
