SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SUSPENSION:FRONT
I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE NEW 7 MONTHS AGO. NOW THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS GETTING WORSE. THE FRONT-END, STEERING WHEEL, SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES DURING NORMAL DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE PROBLEM 3 DAYS AGO, AND THE SERVICE MAN TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY WARPED FRONT ROTORS SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TODAY. I WENT IN AND THE SERVICE MAN (A DIFFERENT ONE) TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD FIX IT, BUT THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS WHAT UPSETS ME MOST. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, SO WHY DO I STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ROTORS TO BE FIXED? THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 1998 AND NEWER CAMARO'S AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY. *AK

POWER TRAIN
TACHOMETER IS REPORTING INCORRECTLY. AS A RESULT, ENGINE IS OVERSPEEDING WITH POTENTIAL REPAIR PROBLEMS. TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS HAVE TRIED TO REPAIR WITH NO SUCCESS. BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE TACHOMETER, THE ENGINE UNDERSTATES ACTUAL RPM IN EACH GEAR. I HAVE OVERSPEEDED THE ENGINE NUMEROUS TIMES AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT POTENTIAL DAMAGE BECAUSE OF THIS.
