2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO.

THE CONSUMER STATED A HUGE HOLE WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSING. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING, THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. *JB

BROUGHT MY CAMARO TO DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL 14294, IGNITION KEY PROBLEM. THE SOLUTION OF REMOVING THE BLADE FROM THE "FLIP" KEY AND ADDING A SEPARATE KEY CREATES A WORSE PROBLEM. ONE, IT WEIGHS MORE DEFEATING THE RECALL CONCERN AND TWO HANGS LOWER INCREASING THE PROBABILITY OF HITTING YOUR KNEE, AGAIN DEFEATING THE REASON FOR THE RECALL AND ADDING A POTENTIAL MEDICAL CONCERN. AND WE WOULD BE RECEIVING AN INFERIOR DESIGN TO WHAT I BOUGHT. I TOLD THEM TO CHANGE IT BACK BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE FLAWS. SINCE THEY STILL SELL THE CARS WITH THE "FLIP" KEY, WHY CANT THEY JUST REPLACE THE KEYS COMPLETE AND NOT JUST BAND AID THE PROBLEM. I BROKE THE BLADE OF THE "FLIP" KEY ON MY 2011 EQUINOX AND COULDN'T JUST REPLACE THE BLADE....A NEW KEY HAD TO BE ORDERED AND BOTH KEYS REPROGRAMMED AT THE COST OF $140. BOTTOM LINE IS THEY SHOULD REPLACE DEFECTIVE MATERIAL WITH SOMETHING EQUAL OR BETTER. AS CONSUMERS WE SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED FOR THEIR DESIGN MISTAKE....ESPECIALLY TWICE! *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO IN MARCH OF 2011 FROM A CHEVROLET DEALER IN GEORGIA. SINCE THAT PURCHASE, THE AIRBAG SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHT/ALERT SYSTEM HAS ACTIVATED THREE (3) TIMES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR ON ALL THREE OCCASIONS FOR REPAIR (04/26/12, 09/8/12 AND 10/5/13). AS OF TODAY'S DATE, THE AIRBAG SERVICE INDICATOR HAS NOW ACTIVATED AGAIN FOR A FOURTH (4) TIME. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AT ANY TIME DURING MY OWNERSHIP. *TR

I WOKE UP ONE DAY TO FIND THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT UNTIL I WENT TO GET THE CAR INSPECTED. THE CAR WAS REJECTED DUE TO THE LIGHT BEING ON. THE DEALERSHIP, WHO HAS DONE ALL THE SERVICE SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, TOLD US IT WOULD BE $90 TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO BE ON. IT TURNS OUT IT IS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR UNTIL THE SEAT, THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 32,000 MILES ON IT. THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS NOT BEEN USED ENOUGH FOR IT TO BE WORN DOWN. THE COST TO CURE THIS IS $729! FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE ISSUE. MY DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH HAD THE SAME THING. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE SEEN OTHER CAMARO OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. I HAVE FILED A COMPLIANT WITH GM AND I AM AWAITING THEIR FINDINGS. *TR

GM SAFETY RECALL 14294, WE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION KEY PRIOR TO THE RECALL. WE TOOK OUR CAMARO TO THE GM DEALERSHIP, HAD THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. UPON DRIVING THE CAMARO AFTER THE IGNITION KEY WAS CHANGED DUE TO THE RECALL, IT IS NOW MORE OF A SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE KEY ACTUALLY DANGLING DOWN ON OUR KNEE/LEGS WHILE DRIVING. WE WOULD APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE PREVIOUS IGNITION KEY REFIGURED AS IT WAS WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAMARO AS WE HAD NO PROBLEMS/ISSUES WITH IT PRIOR TO FOLLOWING THE RECALL INSTRUCTIONS OF TAKING OUR CAMARO TO THE DEALER. *TR

WHILE RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT SWITCH FROM ON TO OFF SETTING SEVERAL TIMES RIDING DOWN THE ROAD, IT WOULD STAY ON THE OFF POSITION FOR SOMETIMES AND THEN SWITCH TO ON SETTING, YOU WOULD HAVE TO TOUCH THE MENU BUTTON IN THE CAR TO GET THE ALARM FROM BEEPING. I CHECK AND FOUND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SERVICE BULLETINS OUT ON THIS ISSUE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASE AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME A SERVICE FEE OF $110.00 BECAUSE THE CAR JUST HAS WENT OUT OF WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. IF I AM RIDING IN THE CAR WITH THE AIR BAG OFF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I DO NOT WANT TO LOOSE MY LIFE OVER SOMETHING THAT GM SHOULD REPAIR AND HAS KNOWN ABOUT SINCE 2009. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECT TO REPAIR THE AIR BAG, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND LIVES ARE AT RISK. *TR

MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 2 YEARS NOW. I HAVE TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 7 TIMES TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY WHEN I TOOK IT IN SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY ANY MONEY FOR THE SERVICES. OUT OF ALL SEVEN TIMES THEY NEVER FIXED THE AIR BAG. NOW I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME $109 FOR SERVICES TO FIX MY AIRBAG. THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 2 YEARS, MEANING IF I GET INTO A WRECK MY AIRBAG WON'T WORK. EVERY TIME MY CAR WAS RELEASED FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MY AIR BAG LIGHT IMMEDIATELY CAME BACK ON AFTER THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS ADJUSTED. I SUPPOSE ALL THEY DID WAS WIGGLE THE WIRE UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT TO GET THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO GO OFF IN ORDER TO RETURN MY CAR TO ME KNOWING THAT IT WASN'T FIXED. NOW THEY ARE CHARGING ME MONEY TO GET THE AIR BAG FIXED WHEN IT'S NOT MY FAULT THE AIRBAG DOESN'T WORK. I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE AT FAULT FOR THIS PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, WHILE MY CAR WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICES DEPARTMENT THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A RENTAL FROM ENTERPRISE. BUT THEY USED MY INSURANCE COMPANY INSTEAD OF PAYING $17 A DAY FOR ENTERPRISE'S INSURANCE COMPANY. I BELIEVE THIS IS WRONG BECAUSE IT IS THE MANUFACTURER'S FAULT THAT MY AIR BAG SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY AND THEY SHOULD PAY FOR ENTERPRISE'S INSURANCE ON THE RENTAL CAR I WAS PROVIDED WITH. THE TRUNK OF MY CAR ALSO IS BROKE AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME $182 IN ORDER TO GET IT FIXED BUT I HAVE FULL COVERAGE WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE. *TR
