2017 Chevrolet Camaro

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH AND EXITING THE HIGHWAY, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, WHICH FAILED TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO NORMAL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS TO SIERRA CHEVROLET (721 E CENTRAL AVE, MONROVIA, CA 91016, (626) 605-1537). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE ASSIST MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE BRAKE MODULE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO MAINTENANCE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-5640437071. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 74,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

AS I'M DRIVING AT 55MPH OR HIGHER, ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF AND COMES RIGHT BACK ON AND ALL YOU SEE ARE ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS TURN ON AND OFF ALL AT ONCE WHICH IS SCARY BECAUSE WHEN THAT HAPPENS, YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE CAR BECAUSE ONCE THE CAR SHUTS OFF, FOR THAT ONE OR TWO SECONDS IT DOES THIS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS ON YOU. THE CAR WILL ALSO NOT ALLOW YOU TO PRESS ON THE GAS PEDDLE TO MAKE THE SPEED GO UP, AT TIME WHEN I DEPRESS THE GAS PEDDLE, THE CAR HESITATES AND DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT ACCELERATES AT A VERY HIGH SPEED WITHOUT YOU CONTROLLING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET CAMARO. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AGAIN. TO RESUME NORMAL DRIVING, THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V086000 (STEERING); HOWEVER, A VIN SEARCH SHOWED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN OCTOBER, 2016. MY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS STARTED SOON AFTER OWNING IT, GROWING WORSE AS TIME WENT ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT, ONCE IT DID, IT LURCHED. IT WOULD MISS SHIFTING, LAG, DELAY AND ROUGHLY DRIVE, EVEN THOUGH BEING AN AUTOMATIC. THE DEALER ONLY SERVICED NEW SOFTWARE UPDATES; ALL ELSE WAS IGNORED. IN EARLY AUGUST, 2019, A SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME TO GET A SECOND OPINION. I SOON DISCOVERED THAT GM IS BEING SUED, VIA CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS AS MY PROBLEMS ARE BEING EXPERIENCED BY MANY OTHERS, YET THEY STILL SELL NEW CARS WITH THIS SAME TRANSMISSION. ON AUGUST 17, 2019, I TRADED IT BACK IN TO THE DEALER WITH ONLY 17,400 MILES ON IT, NOT KNOWING THAT I WOULD BE STIFFED ON THE TRADE IN VALUE. GM DID ALMOST NOTHING TO HELP ME, FINALLY ADMITTING THAT THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM, BUT NO SOLUTION. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT MOST TRADE PUBLICATIONS AND MEDIA OUTLETS HAVE NOT RUN THIS STORY ALERTING THE PUBLIC THAT GM IN KNOWINGLY SELLING CARS WITH BAD TRANSMISSIONS. HOW DO I RECOVER MY LOSSES? THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM
