2016 Chevrolet Camaro

ISSUE WITH ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. I HAVE RECEIVED AN DIAGNOSTIC ALERT FROM ONSTAR IN REFERENCE TO THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME TOOK VEHICLE TO SHOP I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM. THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AGO. I RECEIVED ANOTHER ALERT FROM ONSTAR APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AGO TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP RAN A DIAGNOSTICS CODE CAME BACK THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE AIR FLOW SYSTEM SO THEY REPLACED THE PART. REPAIRS WERE DONE ALMOST TWO WEEKS AGO AND I RECEIVED THE SAME ALERT FROM ONSTAR YESTERDAY IN REFERENCE TO ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ALERT. MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE FIRST TWO INCIDENCE BUT NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I RECEIVED THE ALERT FROM ONSTAR I CAN NOT USE REMOTE START TO CRANK UP VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN ALERT WAS NOTICED THE SECOND AND THIRD TIME WAS STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER AND A LACK OF ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE REDUCED PERFORMANCE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NALLEY CHEVROLET (4200 JONESBORO RD, UNION CITY, GA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH FAILED AND RECOMMENDED IT BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE STABILITRAK WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTERWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUSPENSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP AND DRIPS WITH AIR ON THE FEET. NO WAY TO CLEAR THE INCREASING FOG UNLESS YOU TURN THE AIR-CONDITIONING OFF AND INCREASE THE HEAT THERE FOR ON THE 90+ HOT AND MUGGY DAY YOU ARE LEFT WITH HEAT EXHAUSTION OR PULLING OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAYS WHICH IS NEVER SAFE. WHEN IT RAINS GOOD LUCK DECIDING IF YOU WANT TO TURN THE WINDOW DEFOGGERS ON AND CAUSE CONDENSATION OR OPEN THE WINDOWS IN THE RAIN TO GET WET WHICH MAKES THE WINDOWS STEAM UP COMPLETELY OR LAST RESORT IS TO TURN THE HEAT UP ON THE DEFROSTERS AND HEAT UP THE WHOLE CAR. . OR AGAIN, PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD INDEFINITELY OR DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR IN 80% OF THE SOUTH'S WEATHER CONDITIONS. REALLY SAD THAT GM AND THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS FIX TO THIS ISSUE IS TO SAY "WELCOME TO THE SOUTH" AND LAUGH. THIS HAPPENS WHEN ITS MUGGY OUT, RAINING, COOL AND WET, EARLY MORNING OR LATE EVENING. IT ONLY GETS WORSE WITH THE WIPERS, ONLY GETS BETTER WITH HIGHER HEAT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. SO IN ESSENCE MOST OF THAT OR THOSE DAYS.

EVER SINCE THE FIRST DAY I TOOK DELIVERY OFY BRAND NEW CAMARO THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP EXCESSIVELY WHEN RUN INTO THE AC NO MATTER HOW IT'S SET. I'VE HAD IT BACK AT THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES INCLUDING ONCE WHERE THEY PERFORMED AN ON THE FLY REMOVAL OF A PIECE OF FOAM TO SUPPOSEDLY HELP SEAL THE DASH TO WINDSHIELD MODE ACTUATOR DOOR WHICH DIDN'T FIX IT. WINDSHIELD WAS REMOVED TO PERFORM THIS AND IT CRACKED HAD TO GET A NEW WINDSHIELD INSTALLED OVERALL THIS IS NOT ONLY AN ANNOYANCE BUT A SAFETY HAZZARD I CAN'T DRIVE IT IN THE SUMMER WITHOUT SWEATING INSIDE THE CABIN BECAUSE WITH THE AC ON AND DAY VENTS ONLY IT ACTS AS IF THERE IS AN ICE CHEST AND A TURBO FAN BLASTING ICE COLD AIR ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE HUMIDITY JUST PLASTERS THE WINDSHIELD WITH FOG ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. FOG TREATMENT SPRAYS DON'T WORK. NOTHING HAS. GM DOESN'T EVEN TRY TO SOLVE IT. MY WIFE WON'T DROVE THE CAR DUE TO THE VISION BEING IMPEDED. HAPPENS WHEN SITTING STILL OR DRIVING.

DEFECTIVE HVAC SYSTEM: EXCESSIVE MOISTURE ON OUTSIDE WINDSHIELD, DUE TO HVAC BLOWING AC COLD AIR ONTO WINDSHIELD INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHILE RUNNING AC UNIT. EVERY TIME I USE MY AC THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP WITH EXCESSIVE MOISTURE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND IT A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM, AS YOU HAVE TO RUN THE WIPERS TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD FOR ANY VISIBILITY FOGGING ISSUES. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE YET TO COME UP WITH A FIX, AS ALL 2016-2018 CHEVROLET CAMARO'S HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND YET THEY STILL SELL THEM AND ARE NOT INTERESTED IN FIXING THIS LIFE THREATENING ISSUE! GUESS GM IS WAITING FOR THEIR CAMARO CUSTOMERS TO GET KILLED FIRST BEFORE THEY ACT TO FIX THIS ONGOING PROBLEM.

WINDSHIELD FOGS UP AND BLOCKS VISIBILITY TREMENDOUSLY (ON A VEHICLE WITH LOW VISIBLE ALREADY, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS). THIS IS CAUSED BY COLD AIR LEAKING FROM THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER VENT, AND HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF DEFROSTER SETTING. IT BECOMES A PROBLEM ON HOT AND HUMID DAYS AND WHEN IT RAINS, RENDERING THE AC USELESS IF YOU WANT TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. FURTHER, TURNING THE AC OFF DOES NOT DECREASE THE FOGGING, NOR DOES DRIVING THE CAR OR SITTING STATIONARY. THE ONLY WAYS TO KEEP IT AT BAY ARE TO RUN HOT AIR (HORRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE ON HOT/HUMID DAYS) OR TO CONSTANTLY RUN THE WIPERS ON A HIGH SPEED. ASIDE FROM THOSE, RUNNING COLD AIR CONDITIONING (WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER OFF) CAUSES A DANGEROUS AMOUNT OF FOGGING IN THE AFOREMENTIONED CONDITIONS.

'INCIDENT #1: ON JUNE 15, 2018, AFTER MAKING MY NORMAL COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK, I ARRIVED HOME. LATER THAT EVENING, WHEN I TRIED TO START MY CAR, I WAS NOT ABLE TO START IT AT ALL. I WAS UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE ISSUE WAS THE STARTER - AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT NEED TO BE OF CONCERN TO A NEW CAR OWNER. WHILE I WAS PROVIDED WITH A LOANER CAR, I WAS HIGHLY INCONVENIENCED DURING MY FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND. 'INCIDENT #2: WHILE DRIVING CAR TO AN APPOINTMENT ON THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 2018, THE GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK AND I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. I REPEATEDLY TRIED TO APPLY BRAKES BUT THIS DID NOT WORK. TO AVOID CRASHING, RISKING MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THE OTHER ROAD USERS, I HAD TO MAKE A QUICK DECISION. THIS DECISION WAS FOR ME TO KICK THE GAS PEDAL TO BREAK IT. IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A SAFE LOCATION, I LITERALLY HAD TO USE AN UMBRELLA IN PLACE OF THE GAS PEDAL TO GIVE POWER TO THE CAR.

I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS APPROX. 8 DIFFERENT TIMES DUE TO MALFUNCTION OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS THIS VEHICLE STARTED THESE PROBLEMS 1 MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT ,IT ONLY HAD 95 MILES ON IT, IN THE MEAN TIME DUE TO GENERAL MOTORS CLOSING THE CASE AND NOT WILLING TO FIX THE ISSUE I HAVE CONTACTED THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU , I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED NBC NEWS " CALL 12 FOR ACTION" SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN STALLING IN THE IN TRAFFIC, THE COMPUTERS WILL GO BLANK AND WHEN THEY COME BACK ON THEY HAVE TO REBOOT, AS I MENTIONED I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN 8 DIFFERENT TIMES AND NOBODY CAN FIX THE ISSUE, I EVEN REQUESTED A FIELD MECHANIC WHICH GENERAL MOTORS SET UP AFTER THE BBB CONTACTED THEM. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN ON JUNE 12TH AND CANNOT GET ANYONE TO RETURN MY CALL THE ISSUES ARE STILL HAPPENING NBC NEWS CONTACTED ME YESTERDAY AND ASKED IF I HAD CONTACTED THE NHTSA DUE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE NBC NEWS " CALL 12 FOR ACTION" GAVE ME THIS WEBSITE SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT CONTACT YOU UNTIL I HAD FILED A COMPLAINT. SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT PEOPLE AT GENERAL MOTORS TRYING TO GET THIS VEHICLE FIXED AND HAVE BEEN GETTING THE RUNAROUND UNTIL THE BBB HAS GOT INVOLVED. THESE ISSUES HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN JUST SITTING IN A PARKING LOT I WOULD BE AT A STOP LIGHT AND GO TO ACCULTURATE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY STOP AND THE COMPUTERS IN THE VEHICLE WOULD BLACK OUT. CHEVROLET HAS TRIED 8 DIFFERENT TIMES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL EVERY TIME. GENERAL MOTORS EVEN HAD ME TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP THEY CANT SEEM TO FIND THE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.
