2018 Chevrolet Camaro

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE AND THE WINDOW WOULD NOT SHUT ALL THE WAY. THE DOORS WOULD START UNLOCKING ON THEIR OWN AND THE DRIVER WINDOW WOULD TRY TO ROLL ALL THE WAY UP UNSUCCESSFULLY. THE CONTROL PANEL WOULD FLASH A NOTICE THAT THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN PARKED AND ENGINE TURNED OFF. ONE EVENT LASTED 45 SECONDS WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND ANOTHER EVENT WHILE I WAS SITTING AT MY LOCAL CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER. THIS EVENT HAPPENED WHILE THE REMOTE KEY WAS SITTING ON THE DASH IN SERVICE CENTER ENVELOPE AND THE CAR WAS OFF. THE DOORS STARTED UNLOCKING AND LOCKING AND DRIVER WINDOW STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN. THEN ALL THE DOORS LOCKED WITH ME INSIDE OF THE CAR AND I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR TO GET OUT ALL WHILE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON. I RECORDED THE EVENTS AS THEY OCCURRED BUT THEY ARE IN ,MP4 FORMAT AND I AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD THEM.

CAME IN DUE TO AN EXHAUST RATTLE ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE. THE ISSUE WAS DUPLICATED BY THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM THAT IS CAUSING THIS RATTLE NOISE. THE LEAK IS IN THE CENTER OF THE EXHAUST PIPE, UNDERNEATH THE CENTER CONSOLE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO OPERATE, HOWEVER THAT IS NOT MY EXPERIENCE. THERE IS EXCESSIVE NOISE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST CAUSING DISTURBANCE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, AND ALSO THE SMELL OF EXHAUST GAS IS AT TIMES APPARENT IN THE CABIN. THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED FOR OVER 2 MONTHS NOW, WITH DEALERSHIP CONTINUING TO PUSH THE DELIVERY DATE OF THE PART ON A WEEKLY BASIS, WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY INTERIM SOLUTION TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE PART IS AVAILABLE.

ON OR ABOUT NOVEMBER 26, 2020, AT 1:30 AM WHILE DRIVING ON I-30 WESTBOUND IN TEXARKANA, TX TRAVELING AT THE POSTED SPEED OF 75 MPH IN A 2018 CAMARO ZL1. THE TRANSMISSION BLEW OUT WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL AND ALL SYSTEMS THAT TRANSMIT POWER FROM THE ENGINE OR PROPULSION DEVICE TO THE WHEELS WERE LOST AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO COAST ONTO THE EMERGENCY SHOULDER UNTIL IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AWAY FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAD CONTACTED CHEVY EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE VEHICLES ONSTAR AND THIS SERVICE WAS OF NO AVAIL.

THIS IS TO DOCUMENT AND REPORT THAT I PURCHASED MY 2018 CHEVY CAMARILLO ON APRIL 15, 2020 WITH 18,000 MILES. MY CAR ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON AUGUST 20, 2020 AT APPROXIMATELY 6:15PM. IT WAS A CLEAR EVENING AS I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I WAS STOPPED AT THE INTERSECTION, READY TO TURN RIGHT TO CATCH THE FREEWAY ENTRANCE. AS I PROCEEDED TO TURN RIGHT, FROM A TWO LANE RIGHT TURN LANE, I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND BEGAN ATTEMPTING THE RIGHT HAND TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DRASTICALLY HARDER AND ULTIMATELY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN TO CONTROL CAUSING ME TO HOP THE CENTER ISLE HITTING A CENTER DIVIDER. A CHP OFFICER PATROLLING THE AREA, WHO WITNESSED THE ACCIDENT, CONFIRMED I WAS NOT SPEEDING AS HE NOTED THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF TREAD MARKS TO SUGGESTS I WAS SPEEDING. ADDITIONALLY, NO ACCIDENT REPORT WAS TAKEN. BY PURE LUCK, I DID NOT HIT OR INJURE ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PROPERTY. I DID HOWEVER, SUSTAIN BRUISING FROM THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING, BACK PAIN AND OTHER ACHES. I REVIEWED THE HISTORY OF THE CHEVY CAMERON'S TO CONFIRM THAT ALTHOUGH NOT A RECALL AT THE TIME OF MY ACCIDENT, I TRULY AND HIGHLY ENCOURAGE THAT THE 2018S ALSO BE LOOKED AT FOR THE SAME RECALLS ISSUED WITH THE 2016 AND 2017 RECALLS.

I HAVE A 2018 CAMERO THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW. I KEEP UP MY SERVICE ON MY CAR. ONE DAY I NOTICED A SMOKEY SMELL WHEN I CRANK THE CAR. THE CAR STARTED TO HESITATE TO START AT TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO AND SHOWED THEM THE ENGINE LIGHT SENSOR WAS ON AND TOLD THEM MY CAR WOULDN'T START FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS. THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME IT WAS MY BATTERY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE CAR DROVE FINE BUT I STILL SMELLED FUMES WHEN I CRANK THE CAR AND SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. ON 8/25/2020 MY CAR WOULDNT START AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO BOMIN CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THAT MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW A 2018 NEW CAR THAT'S NOT TWO YEARS OLD FUEL PUMP GOES OUT.I RESEARCHED FOR RECALLS AND I NOTICED 11/21/2019 A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR CHEVY CAMERO DUE TO FUEL PUMP ISSUES. PLEASE KNOW THAT IM NOT TRYING TO GET OUT OF PAYING FOR REPAIRS IF THAT'S NEED BE. I JUST WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION PLEASE. I KNOW OF TWO OTHER FRIENDS THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR CAMERO. RIGHT NOW AT A TIME LIKE THIS DOING THIS PANDEMIC AND OUT OF WORK I CANT AFFORD TO PAY $1200 IN REPAIRS IF ITS A POSSIBLE DEFECT. PLEASE HELP ME!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE FAILED TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DRIFTED TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT CAUSING THE DRIVER TO OVER COMPENSATE WHILE STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL UNKNOWN DEALERS WHERE THE MECHANICS PERFORMED ALIGNMENTS AND TIRE ROTATIONS HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TRAMLINING WHICH WAS A NATURAL VEHICLE RESPONSE TO THE ROAD SURFACE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

MY CONVERTIBLE TOP REAR WINDOW IS STARTING TO COME OUT. THE GLUE IS SEPARATING AND I HAVE SEEN 20 PLUS TOPS THAT ARE DOING THE SAME THING. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL THE GLASS SHOP SAYS IT'S AN ABSOLUTE SAFETY HAZARD IT COULD BLOW OUT ON THE FREEWAY. THERE ARE PLENTY OF FORAMS TALKING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS WELL. APPARENTLY THE TOP AND GLASS ARE ONE PIECE SO THE WHOLE TOP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AS IT IS SAFETY-RELATED. SOMEBODY COULD GET HURT IF THAT GLASS FLIES OUT ON THE FREEWAY
