5-26-2012: CONVERTIBLE TOP SUPPORT BROKE. FIXED BY DEALER. NOW SEVERE OTHER ISSUES WITH CONVERTIBLE TOP, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE CAR FLOORS FLOODING WHEN IT RAINS, WIND NOISE FROM THE REAR QUARTER GLASS, AND SEVERE "RUB" MARKS FROM THE STRUCTURAL TOP ASSEMBLY. CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR 69 DAYS AND AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 44 DAYS. IT IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. GM/CHEVROLET HAS BEEN NEGLIGENT IN THE HANDLING OF THE REPAIRS, ALONG WITH THE COMPLETE IMPROPER DESIGN OF THE TOP ASSEMBLY. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT AND GM/CHEVROLET HASN'T PROVIDED ENOUGH SUPPORT TO GET THE ISSUES RESOLVED. *TR

AIR BAGS
[XXX] MARCH 7, 2012 GM PO BOX 33170 DETROIT, MI 48232-5170 RE: CASE [XXX] GREETINGS: I WISH TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT REGARDING MY 2011 CAMARO 2SS/RS CONVERTIBLE. THE SAFETY CRITICAL PASSENGER AIR BAG (INFLATABLE RESTRAINT) DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AND READS OFF WHEN A PASSENGER IN EXCESS OF 160 LBS IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME, BUT REPRODUCIBLE. IT HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED AND REPRODUCED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BY CERTIFIED GM MECHANICS AT FREEWAY CHEVROLET IN CHANDLER, ARIZONA, WITH MULTIPLE EMPLOYEES OF FREEWAY CHEVROLET OF VARYING WEIGHTS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE SUMMARIZED THE REPAIR ATTEMPTS BELOW: DATEDAYS OUT OF SERVICEMILEAGECOMMENTS 6/28/201131,475MODULE REPLACEMENT 9/15/201122,246SENSOR AND MODULE REPLACEMENT 10/19/201122,856SENSOR REPLACEMENT 12/21/2011143,916REPROGRAM MODULE. SERVICE REP ABLE TO REPRODUCE PROBLEM ON THIS CAR BUT NO OTHER IDENTICAL MODELS WITH MULTIPLE PASSENGERS AND WEIGHTS. 3/5/201224,854REPRODUCED CONNECTED TO ODBC INTERFACE AT FREEWAY CHEVROLET WITH 160 LB PASSENGER IN CAR (MY WIFE). LEVEL 4 INDICATED ON ODBC (NON ADULT PASSENGER PRESENT). WIFE EXITED AND RE-ENTERED PASSENGER SEAT. LEVEL 6 INDICATED ON ODBC. WIFE SAT IN IDENTICAL CAR ON LOT AND PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED. THE LATEST RESPONSE ADVISED BY SHANE SCHMITT OF GM IS THE VEHICLE IS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THIS RESPONSE IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE: 1.A 160 LB ADULT PASSENGER MUST ACTIVATE THE AIR BAG SENSOR. 2.THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT (ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME). THE SAME PERSON SHOULD NOT BE CLASSIFIED AS LEVEL 4 AND LEVEL 6 WITH THE SEAT IN THE IDENTICAL POSITION AND NO CHANGE IN BODY POSITION. 3.THIS INTERMITTENT ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED IN ANY OTHER GM VEHICLE, INCLUDING AN IDENTICAL MODEL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SUSPENSION
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2011 CAMARO SS. THIS WAS A GIFT TO MY WIFE BECAUSE SHE HAD ALWAYS LOVED THE CAMARO. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AT A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR HOME ABOUT 70 MILES WITH NO TROUBLE AT ALL. A FEW DAYS LATER THE TEMPERATURE IN NORTH CAROLINA DROPPED TO AROUND 40 DEG AND STARTED TO RAIN. MY WIFE TOOK MY DAUGHTER TO THE STORE AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO GET ABOVE 30 MPH BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNCONTROLLABLE DUE TO THE REAR END CONSTANTLY FISH TAILING. I WAS CALLED BY HER CRYING BECAUSE SHE WAS SO SCARED. I CONTACTED A FRIEND TO GO AND GET THE CAR AND HE CALLED ME AS HE WAS DRIVING TELLING ME WHAT THE CAR WAS DOING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON LINE I FOUND OUT THAT THE PIRELLI PZERO TIRES THAT COME STANDARD ON THE SS AND RS CAMARO ARE SUMMER ONLY? TIRES. THESE TIRES ARE ONLY TO BE DRIVEN IN TEMPERATURES ABOVE 45 DEG AND IN DRY CONDITIONS! I AM CURRENTLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND RELIED TOTALLY ON THE DEALERSHIP TO INFORM MY WIFE OF ANY ISSUES OR WARNINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE COME WITH THE CAR. ALSO CHEVROLET IS TOTALLY AT FAULT BY SELLING, AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT, A TIRE THAT IS DANGEROUS TO THE POINT OF BEING CRIMINAL WHEN DRIVEN IN WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT COVER MOST OF THE UNITED STATES. I HAD TO PURCHASES, AT THE COST OF OVER $1000.00, A SET OF TIRES THAT ARE ?ALL SEASON? SO MY WIFE CAN DRIVE SAFELY. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE PAYING OVER $40,000.00 FOR A CAR THAT I NEED TO SPEND ANOTHER GRAND ON JUST TO MAKE IT SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. I WILL NOTIFY EVERYONE AND ANYONE THAT I CAN ABOUT THE HAZARDS OF THIS SITUATION. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THERE IS A NOTCHINESS WHEN SHIFTING INTO SECOND GEAR FROM FIRST UNDER HARD ACCELERATION. THIS RESULTS IN A SECOND GEAR GRIND AND I AM UNABLE TO GET INTO SECOND GEAR SOMETIMES. ALSO, OCCASIONALLY THE TRANSMISSION WILL POP OUT OF SECOND GEAR AND RETURN TO NEUTRAL RESULTING IN NO ACCELERATION, WHICH IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE READ ABOUT SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS ME, ESPECIALLY WITH GRINDING SECOND GEAR, AND GM SIMPLY NEEDS TO FIX THE ISSUE INSTEAD OF SAYING THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS "OPERATING AS INTENDED". I HAVE BEEN DREAMING OF OWNING A NEW CAMARO SINCE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT IT WAS COMING BACK TO MARKET, BUT IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE WITH TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE DAY 1 WITH NO FIX FROM THE DEALER. *TR

THE FIRST FAILURE WAS AT 4500 MILES IN THE MIDDLE LANE AS CAR PULLED INFRONT AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES THE CAR WHEN INTO A SKID AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AT APPROX 40 MPH.THIS DEFECT DID NOT CRASH THE CAR. THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS AT APPROX 70 ON THE FREE WAY AS A CAR CAME THROUGH THE TRIANGLE AT A JUNCTION I HIT THE BRAKES THE STEERING WHEEL CRANKED ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT AND LOCKED UP AS DID THE BRAKING SYSTEM THROWING ME HEAD ON INTO A GUARD RAIL AT APPROX 60. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS WELL. THE FOLLOWING DAY AT THE CAR YARD WHILE THE KEY WAS INSERTED BY THE TECHNICIAN THE CAR SAID THAT AIRBAGS DEPLETED NEED REPLACING. *TR

VISIBILITY
THE WINDSHIELD IN MY 2011 CAMARO APPEARS TO HAVE OPTICAL DISTORTION WHICH CREATES A GHOSTING EFFECT THAT IS VERY DISTRACTING. IN PARTICULAR, AT NIGHT WHEN THERE ARE HEADLIGHTS, TAIL-LIGHTS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, ROAD SIGNS, AND ETCETERA IT IS ESPECIALLY BAD. THIS IS EVEN SEEN WITH SUNLIGHT REFLECTIONS DURING DAYTIME DRIVING. THE REASON I FEEL IT IS OPTICAL DISTORTION IN THE WINDSHIELD IS BECAUSE IF I RAISE MY HEAD TO THE VERY TOP PORTION OF THE WINDSHIELD, THE OPTICAL DISTORTION GOES AWAY. I FEEL THIS IS INDICATIVE OF AN ANOMALY/DEFECT IN THE WINDSHIELD ITSELF. I HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED ONCE WITH A NEW FACTORY WINDSHIELD AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME OPTICAL DISTORTION ISSUES. I'M CURRENTLY TRYING TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS INDEED A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN WHICH I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE EVER DRIVEN (WHICH MAKES IT EVEN MORE STRANGE). IT IS MY HOPE THAT THIS TESTIMONY WILL BE HELPFUL TO ANYONE ELSE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

OTHER OWNERS CALLING US FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF US TO COMPARE NOTES, SAME ISSUES, SAME RESULTS WITH GM. CONCERNED TOP MAY FLY OFF. 9. RUBBER PARTS FROM TOP FALLING OFF/WILL NOT STAY ON. 10. CANNOT PUT TONNEAU COVER ON OR KEEP IT ON OVER 50 MPH. IT FLIES OFF & HITS CARS BEHIND US.11. WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHEN TOP CLOSED W MOTOR DRIVE. 12. WIND NOISE IN IT WAS LESS THAN OUR PAST NEW CAMAROS. NOW NOISE LEVEL WITH THE TOP UP IS NOISY ENOUGH TO HAVE TO YELL WHEN ON SPEAKERPHONE. AT 1ST, IT WAS VERY QUIET. 13.

THIS IS NOT A DEALER ISSUE, THIS IS A GM ISSUE. 16. DEALERS CANNOT FIX THE TOP IN A MANNER THAT GM HAS NOT PUT A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON. WE DO NOT WANT TO BRING IT BACK IN UNTIL THEY HAVE SAID BULLETIN. 17. WE DO NOT FEEL AS THOUGH LONG GM FANS SHOULD BE OUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR RE-LETTERING, CUSTOMIZATION AND TTL FOR GETTING A VEHICLE THAT THEY STILL CLAIM THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX. *TR
