ENGINE
CAR STALLS, STUMBLES, AND DIES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER DECELERATING. IT HAPPENS AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. HAVE HAD THE CAR DIE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER BRAKING TO SLOW DOWN. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AT THIS POINT BUT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. HAVE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND RESTART WHILE MOVING. CAR WILL RESTART BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES. SOMETIMES I CAN CATCH IT BEFORE IT COMPLETELY DIES BY PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL 2-3 TIMES. BUT IF NOT QUICK ENOUGH, WILL DIE WHEN I HIT GAS PEDAL. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS LOSS OF ENGINE POWER COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH BRAKING AND STEERING IF CAR CANNOT RESTART.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON FEBRUARY 3RD, 2017, I WAS DRIVING AT 8PM ON A STREET AT 30 MPH. AT THAT TIME MY CAMARO LOST ALL POWER, INCLUDING ENGINE, HEAD-LIGHTS, AND STEERING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR (JUNE 2015). THE FIRST TIME I SUSPECTED THAT MY KNEE HAD PLAYED A ROLE BY ACCIDENTALLY HITTING THE IGNITION AREA. YESTERDAY, (FEB 3RD) I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THIS TIME MY KNEE PLAYED A ROLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT GM RECALLED 500K CHEVY CAMARO'S THAT WERE 2010-2014 MODELS FOR AN IGNITION-SWITCH DEFECT. THE REASON THAT I AM WRITING THIS COMPLIANT IS THAT THE EXACT SAME THING OCCURRED AND THIS IS A 2015 MODEL.

IVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE MOTOR DEALER HAS HAD TO CHANGE PISTONS AND VALES . WHICH ISN'T VERY UNSAFE UNTIL YOUR DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THEN YOU LOSE ALL POWER ..THEN YOU HAVE TO DODGE TRAFFIC..OR ELSE.. IVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TIRE SENSOR THAT KEEPS GOING OUT, DEALER CHANGED IT ONCE AND WITHIN A MONTH IT STARTED ACTING WEIRD AGAIN. KEEPS TELLING ME TO ADD AIR TO THE TIRES WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS FINE . UNTIL I GET A BLOW OUT AND WRECK. IVE HAD ISSUES WITH SOME LIGHTS THAT FLICKER WHILE IM DRIVING . THE DEALER SAYS "THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE LIGHTS" . GM IS BUYING BACK THIS LEMON THEY SOLD ME , HOWEVER THEY WOULD LIKE ME TO KEEP DRIVING THIS CAR WITH TWO COMPLETELY BALD TIRES AROUND WHILE THEY DECIDE EXACTLY HOW MUCH THEY WANT ME TO PAY THEM FOR DEALING WITH THIS OBVIOUS LEMON THAT THEY SOLD ME. THAT'S THE THANKS I GET FOR CHOOSING TO BUY AN AMERICAN MADE VEHICLE. I WILL NOT EVEN DRIVE THIS ONE YEAR OLD CAR BECAUSE IT IS SO UNSAFE, PLEASE LOOK INTO OR AT LEAST MAKE SOME OF THIS INFORMATION AVAILABLE SO THAT OTHER HONEST HARD WORKING PEOPLE DON'T GET CAUGHT IN THIS HORRIBLE SITUATION..

POWER TRAIN, WHEELS
PURCHASED THE CAR 4/2015 NEW - 5/6 I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WHEN IT STARTED TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE. I PULLED OVER AND IT STOPPED . I BROUGHT IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEAL AND IT HAD A DIAGNOSTIC CODE FOR ENGINE MISFIRE - NO PROBLEM WITH CAR SINCE THAT DAY 5/6. ON 5/9 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM SCHOOL AND I PULLED ONTO MY HOME STREET AND THE CAR LIGHT CAME ON TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT - THE CAR COMPLETLEY SHUT DOWN AND I COULD NOT START IT AGAIN. I TOWED IT TO THE DEALER. - I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISION WAS STUCK IN BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETEY FRIED - BURNED - MELTED - NOT 1 REPORT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC NOT 1 WARNING UNTIL IT JUST STOPPED DEAD IN THE ROAD. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED FOR THE CAR JUST SHUTTING DOWN - AND NEVER STARTED AGAIN - TIRES ARE PITTED AND BALD - EVERY 2 WEEKS I REC'D NOTICE TO PUT AIR IN BACK TIRES FROM THE DAY OF PURCHASE THE AIR IN BACK TIRES ALWAYS NEEEDED AIR. DEALERSHIP AND GM HAVE DEEMED THE WARRANTY VOIDED AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION OR WORN TIRES ON A 1 YR OLD CAR - HOW CAN A TRANSMISSION BURN OUT IN 3 DAYS?? IT HAD JUST HAD A DIAGNOSTICS DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 5/6 WHEN THE ENGINE MALFUNCTIONED- I WAS TOLD IT WAS A MISFIRE!!! AND THEN 3 DAYS LATER ON 5/9 THE TRANSMISSION WAS BURNED OUT ???- MECHANIC SAID IT WAS STUCK IN BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS??? HOW CAN THAT HAPPEN IF I ONLY DRIVE IN AUTOMATIC?? HOW COME THERE WAS NO WARNINGS ABOUT THE SLIP IN GEARS AS WELL?? OR A WARNING ABOUT THE OVERHEATING OF THE TRANSMISSION BEFORE IT MELTED?

POWER TRAIN
THE CAR MAKES A LOAD POPPING NOISE WHEN STARTED BUT ONLY ONCE RIGHT AFTER IT STARTS. THE CAR WILL RUN LIKE IT IS IN GEAR OR MISSING AND WANT TO MOVE FORWARD, EVEN WITH THE CLUTCH PRESS DOWN AND IN GEAR. IT IS VERY HARD TO GET IN GEAR WITH THE CLUTCH PRESSED OR WILL NOT GO IN TO GEAR, 1ST OR 2ND SO DRIVING CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS.

CAR DOES NOT START OR CRANK AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, 5 REPAIR ATTEMPTS REPLACING MODULES, TRANSPONDERS, AND REPAIRS TWO SHORTS HAVE NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. THE CAR DOES NOT CRANK OR MAKE ANY SOUND INDICATING IT'S STARTING. THE CAR GIVES CODES AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND EACH TIME IT'S A DIFFERENT CODE AND REPAIR FOR THE SAME NON START ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN
2015 CHEVY CAMARO RS / 2LT COMMEMORATIVE EDITION: THE TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION ON THIS VEHICLE IS HAZARDOUS. FIRST GEAR IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE REVERSE GEAR ON THE UPPER LEFT. VERY LITTLE BUFFER BETWEEN FIRST AND REVERSE AND IS EFFORTLESS TO MOVE THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE WHEN YOU WANT TO CHOOSE FIRST GEAR. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION IT IS VERY COMMON TO MOVE THE SHIFTER INTO REVERSE INSTEAD OF FIRST GEAR. I'VE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WITH THE VEHICLE MOVING BACKWARD INSTEAD OF FORWARD. THIS POOR CONFIGURATION IS HAZARDOUS AND CAN BE POTENTIALLY FATAL. I STRONGLY ADVISE THE NHTSA TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. PLEASE VIEW THREAD BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS: HTTP://WWW.CAMARO5.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?P=9015025&POSTED=1#POST9015025

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 20 MPH AROUND A TRAFFIC CIRCLE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, WHEN, AFTER TURNING RIGHT, THEN LEFT, THEN RIGHT AROUND THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE, THE BACK END SLID OUT AND THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL SLAMMED SIDEWAYS AGAINST A CURB. THE WHEEL WAS INSTANTLY CRACKED, THE WHEEL AND SPINDLE BENT. "SERVICE STABILITRACK" INSTANTLY CAME ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER, AND ALL THREE STABILITY INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. THE P-ZERO NERO TIRES ON THIS CAR ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR WET ROADS IN THE CITY. THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 50 DEGREES. THE CAMARO AND THESE TIRES MAKE IT UNSAFE, AND THE CAR SHOULD COME EQUIPPED DEFAULT WITH ALL-SEASON TIRES, NOT RACING Z-RATED SUMMER ONLY TIRES. REPAIR COST IS $1,500 AND THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS "PERFORMANCE" CAR.

WHEELS
ON A VERY COLD WINTER DAY ( TEMPERATURES IN THE TEENS), I TOOK A TEST RIDE ON THIS 2015 CAMARO FROM A LOCAL BUICK DEALER. ALTHOUGH THIS CAMARO WAS ONLY A 6 CYLINDER, IT WAS EQUIPPED WITH PIRELLI ZERO NERO HIGH PERFORMANCE SUMMER TIRES. AS I PULLED AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND GOT UP TO 50 MPH, I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS COMING APART DUE TO THE EXTREME TIRE NOISE. I WASN'T AWARE THAT THE CAMARO HAD SUMMER TIRES AND I FEEL THAT I WAS PUT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION BY DRIVING THIS CAR. AS PER AN EXCERPT OF THE OWNER'S MANUAL "IF THE TIRES HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO 20 DEGREES OR LESS, LET THEM WARM UP IN A HEATED SPACE TO AT LEAST 40 DEGREES FOR 24 HOURS OR MORE BEFORE BEING INSTALLED OR DRIVING A VEHICLE ON WHICH THEY ARE INSTALLED". ALSO, GM BULLETIN #13-03-10-0001A CLEARLY STATES THE CAR IS NOT TO BE DRIVEN IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 45 DEGREES!!! IN LIGHT OF HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE INJURED OR KILLED IN FORD EXPLORERS WITH A TIRE SITUATION, I'M SURPRISED THAT THERE IS NO OBVIOUS WARNING POSTED ON VEHICLES WITH SUMMER TIRES THAT IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THOSE TIRES IN COLD CLIMATES. EVEN PIRELLI HAS NOTATIONS ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUES WITH THESE TIRES.

THE CONTACT REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE PEDAL REMAINED STUCK TO THE FLOOR. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. A TECHNICIAN COULD NOT FIND THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

AIR BAGS
I HAVE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. MY WIFE OFTEN RIDES WITH ME IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SHE WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY 130 POUNDS AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG FAILS TO TURN ON ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, WE HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THEN SHE HAS TO EXIT AND RE-ENTER THE SEAT. THIS USUALLY TURNS THE AIRBAG ON. THIS IS AT BEST, INCONVENIENT, BUT AT WORST IN SOME SITUATIONS IT IS HAZARDOUS! THE LOCAL DEALER CONTACTED GM/TAC IN DETROIT AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS AS FOLLOWS: "YOUR VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE PER TAC THAT ANYONE 120 POUNDS AND UNDER WILL NOT TRIGGER THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS IS THE FINAL GM RESOLUTION AT THIS TIME" THE 120-130 POUND AIRBAG THRESHOLD SEEMS UNUSUALLY HIGH TO ME. IS THIS A NORMAL DESIGN FEATURE FOR ALL OF THESE CARS? WHY IS THIS WAY? IF I HAD KNOWN THAT WHEN CONSIDERING THE VEHICLE I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IT STARTED IN SEP. 2015 AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY (JAN. 10, 2016)
