TIRES:SIDEWALL
COMPLETE SIDEWALL (360 DEGREES AROUND) SEPARATED FROM TIRE TREAD AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEED CAUSING IMMEDIATE AND DANGEROUS BLOWOUT. TIRES MAINTAINED AT CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE WITH APPROX. 22,000 MILES OF USE. TIRE WAS NEVER REPAIRED OR DAMAGED BEFORE BLOWOUT. VEHICLE USED FOR NORMAL PASSENGER USE. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME EXACT FAILURE AS THE BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRE. NO MENTION HAS BEEN MADE ABOUT THE SIZE 245/50/16 POTENZA, BUT THE FAILURE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE DAMAGE SEEN ON THE RECALLED WILDERNESS. FOR SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS, HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 POTENZA TIRES W/DUNLOPS. KEPT DAMAGED TIRE AND 2 OTHERS. HAVE PICTURES OF DAMAGED TIRE. AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A LARGER SAFETY PROBLEM WITH OTHER BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE TIRES.*AK (TIRESIZE: 245/50/16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 245/50/16 )

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
OIL PAN AND OIL LEVELER MONITOR SWITCH INSIDE PAN COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP, COMPLETE LACK OF QUALITY WITH THIS BRAND. THE MANUFACTURE IS SELLING INFERIOR AND DEFECTIVE, FAR FROM QUALITY TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC COSTS TO REPAIR IT WAS 540.00 ON COMPONENT THAT IS COVERED IN OIL AT ALL TIMES....IMAGINE THAT. I HAVE DEMANDED IMMEDIATE RE-IMBURSEMENT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN IT'S BEEN RAINING THE BRAKES DON'T FUNCTION VERY WELL! I HAVE LITERALLY STOOD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND HAD TROUBLE STOPPING THE CAR! THE TIRES AREN'T LOCKING UP, SO IT'S NOT AN ABS PROBLEM! I KNOW OF SEVERAL OTHERS WHO HAVE ALL HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS! A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED THE ENTIRE FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM WITH EITHER AN AFTERMARKET SYSTEM OR BY USING THE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM OFF OF THE 1998 AND NEWER CAMARO. ALL HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASE WITH THE RESULTS! FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH THE BRAKES DON'T WORK THAT WELL WHEN THERE ISN'T ANY RAIN! I KNOW AT LEAST ONE PERSON I CAN THINK OF THAT HAS TOTALED HIS CAR IN THE RAIN CAUSE THE BRAKES DIDN'T WANT TO STOP THE CAR, AND I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE MY SELF! IT'S REALLY SCARRY TO PUSH THE BRAKES AND NOT STOP! THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE ON 1993-1997 MODELS. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
AUTO TRANSMISSION STARTS OUT IN 2ND GEAR FOR NO REASON. I BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIX. AFTER 10 TRYS I WANT THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. OBVIOUSLY TECHNICIANS ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO FIX PROBLEM. I TRIED TO SELL THE CAR AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL BECAUSE IT STARTED OUT IN 2ND GEAR WHEN SOMEONE WAS TEST DRIVING IT. WHAT GOOD IS THE WARRANTY DOING ME?!?!! THE DIFFERENTIAL-(LOUD NOISE) WAS FINALLY FIXED AFTER THE 3RD TIME OF GOING INTO THE SHOP. YOU SHOULD NOT SELL A GM PROTECTION PLAN IF YOU DO NOT "PLAN" TO BACK UP YOU PRODUCT!!!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
AT IDLE AND IN GEAR, IDLE FLUCTUATES RAPIDLY AND ENGINES RPM IS HIGH ENOUGH THAT THE BRAKES WILL HARDLY KEEP THE CAR STOPPED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND IT JUMPED INTO THE INTERSECTION. HAVE TO PUT INTO NEUTRAL TO KEEP FROM HITTING OTHERS IN THE REAR. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM SO I TOOK IT TO GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. *AK
