FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN REFUELING THE CAR, GAS WILL SPILL OUT WHILE FILLING THE TANK. THERE IS SOME KIND OF ISSUE WITH VENTING OF THE GAS TANK WHEN REFUELING. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE CAR RUNS FINE. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALLS OR TSB'S FOR THIS ISSUE, AND THE TECH I SPOKE WITH SAID HE HAS NOT HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE DONE SEARCHES ON CAMARO RELATED TECHNICAL WEB SITES AND ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CAMARO, FIREBIRD AND TRANSAM COMMUNITY, BUT DIDN'T FIND A RESOLUTION. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

SEAT BELTS:FRONT
THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT DOES NOT FULLY ENGAGE, BUT APPEARS TO BE FASTENED PROPERLY. I HAVE HAD MANY DIFFERENT OCCASIONS (MORE THAN 10) IN WHICH I FASTENED MY SEATBELT AND BEGAN TO DRIVE AWAY AND THE SEATBELT POPPED OUT OF THE RECEIVER, OR EVEN ARRIVING AT MY LOCATION, AND BEFORE I UN-SNAPPED MY SEATBELT, IT CAME LOOSE FROM THE RECEIVER. THE SEATBELT LIGHT WAS NOT ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING, BUT THE SEATBELT APPARENTLY WAS NOT ENGAGED PROPERLY.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED OPERATING WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN. THIS CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEARLY CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND MANY COMPLAINTS, THE WIPER MOTOR WAS REPLACED, AND THE WIPERS FAILED AGAIN. THE WIPER STALK WAS REPLACED AND REPAIRED AND THE WIPERS FAILED AGAIN. THE MOTOR WAS AGAIN REPLACED TWO MORE TIMES. THEY CURRENTLY ARE WORKING, BUT I EXPECT THEM TO FAIL AGAIN SOON.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
DRIVING ALONG HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY MY CAR BEGINS TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL. ACCELERATION IS STUCK, I CAN'T STOP THE CAR OTHER THAN BY RIDING THE BRAKES OR TURNING ENGINE OFF. I REACH SPEEDS UP TO 90 MILES AN HOUR. WHEN I CUT THE ENGINE OFF, IT CAUSES LOSS OF POWER, BUT LUCKILY NOT STEERING. TURN ENGINE BACK ON AND ENGINE REDLINES (CLUTCH LET OUT). I POP CLUTCH BACK IN AND CAR BEGINS TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. TURN HAZARDS ON, COP THEN PULLS UP BEHIND ME TELLING ME TO PULL OVER. FEAR AND ANXIETY COMPOUNDED, BUT CAR STILL WILL NOT WORK. I CUT THE ENGINE AND HIGHWAY PATROL GUIDES ME OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. COP IS FORCED TO PUSH MY CAR SINCE IT CANNOT CONTINUE ON ITS OWN. CAR TOWED IN AND DEALER SAID A ROCK WAS WEDGED ON THE THROTTLE RETURN SPRING CAUSING THROTTLE TO BE WIDE OPEN. ROCK WAS REMOVED AND DEALER SAYS CAR IS FUNCTIONING. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS WITH HOW THE ROCK EVER GOT THERE. THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING, EVEN AT 1 IN A MILLION CHANCE. I KNOW MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF MY PASSENGER WERE IN DANGER. COP COULD PROBABLY ATTEST TO THAT AS WELL. *AK
