NHTSA complaint #11244231 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
VEHICLE WOULD NOT START; REPAIRED AND THEN SYMPTOM HAPPENED AGAIN. SAID TO BE A FAULTY WATER BLADDER DESIGNED TO REMOVE LEAKING WATER FROM CONVT TOP IN THE TRUNK AREA, CAUSED BY TWO BUTTONS ON THE CONVERTIBLE TOP MISSING. DEALER SUGGESTED USING A CAR COVER TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. PROBLEM: THE DESIGN IS FLAWED AND THERE IS NO NOTICE THAT SOMETHING THIS DANGEROUS COULD HAPPEN. WHEN THE ELECTRICAL PARTS FAILED, (ENTIRE WIRE LOOM WAS COMPROMISED WITH NO WARNING!) NO SAFETY ITEMS WOULD WORK. IF VEHICLE WAS ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, DEATH WOULD PROBABLY OCCUR. VEHICLE(S) SHOULD BE RECALLED AND NEW SYSTEM DESIGNED TO ELIMINATE WATER INTRUSION. I UNDERSTAND FROM INTERNET THIS IS AN ONGOING SAFETY PROBLEM. I WAS CHARGED $ BECAUSE WATER LEAKS ARE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW AND NO NOTIFICATION FROM THE COMPANY OF THE DANGERS OF THIS DESIGN FLAW; NO MENTION ANYWHERE IN THE OPERATIONS MANUAL REGARDING THE LOCATION OF THE? BUTTONS? OR THE WATER BLADDER, OR THE CHANCE THAT THE VEHICLE COULD BECOME DISABLED DUE TO THE DESIGN FLAW. THIS VEHICLE, WITH THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE SHUT DOWN ON ANY OF THE MANY HIGHWAYS I DRIVE LEAVING ME, OR WORSE, MY WIFE IN DANGER AND POWERLESS WITH NO WARNING OF ANY PROBLEM. WHEN THE WIRE LOOM IN MY CAMARO AND FUSE BOX FAILED, ALL BRAKE LIGHTS AND ALL OTHER POWER FAILED. THIS REMINDS ME OF AN INCIDENT YEARS AGO ON THE PENNSYLVANIA/NEW JERSEY WALT WHITMAN BRIDGE WHERE A NEW FORD PRODUCT WAS RUN OVER AND ALL FOUR OCCUPANTS KILLED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. THE CAUSE WAS FOUND TO BE A BAD COMPUTER MODULE.

WE BOUGHT THIS CAR OFF SHOW ROOM AT DEALERSHIP FOR OUR DAUGHTER TO HAVE A DEPENDABLE SAFE CAR TO GET HER THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE. NO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HASN'T COVERED ANY OF THIS.

THE CONVERTIBLE TOP HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY SLOWER WHEN PUTTING IT UP AND DOWN. THERE ARE SIGNS ON THE TOP OF THE CAR WHERE IT LATCHES OF SOMETHING GRINDING. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE TOP OPERATED AT NORMAL SPEED WHEN COMPARED TO A SIMILAR MODEL. CURRENTLY OPERATION IS EXCEEDING 20 SECONDS FOR THE TOP TO BE LOWERED OR RAISED. ALSO TOP IS NOT GOING DOWN ALL THE WAY AS THE FABRIC OBSCURES THE MIRROR WHEN DRIVING.
NHTSA complaint #10510205 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I HAVE A 2010 CAMARO WITH A V6. EVERY TIME I RIDE DOWN THE ROAD, I HEAR A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT ALL THEY SAY IS THEY DON'T HEAR ANYTHING. I BELONG TO A CAMARO CLUB AND 90% OF THE OTHER CAMARO'S DO THE SAME THING. WE BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE STRUTS BUT OF COURSE GM DENIES THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG. THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL BEFORE TO MANY PEOPLE GET KILLED. WE HAVE PEOPLE IN OUR CLUB THAT HAVE 2012 CAMARO'S THAT DO THE SAME THING. MINE HAS DONE IT SINCE DAY 1 BUT LIKE I SAID THE DEALER ALWAYS SAYS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG.

TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON INTERSTATE 80 FROM RENO TO SAN FRANCISCO 55-65 MPH, WITHOUT WARNING MY 2010 CAMARO HAD 100 % LOSS OF ALL POWER AND OPERATING FUNCTIONS; OUT OF CONTROL DOWN THE MOUNTAIN DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY JAMMING INTO THE GUARDRAIL, TRAPPING MYSELF IN CAR. NOTHING WORKED...NO ONSTAR...I CALLED MY DAUGHTER IN RENO AND TOLD HER TO SEND HELP..I WAS IN SHOCK. I HAD NO CLUE WHAT HAPPENED OR WHY..BUT AFTER THE TRAFFIC SLOWED DOWN I EXITED THE VEHICLE, STILL NO HELP OR RESPONSE. CAR STARTED WITH LIMITED ABILITIES 25 MPH; WAS ADVISED THAT IT WAS OKAY TO DRIVE BACK TO RENO AND "BRING IT ON IN" AT MY CONVENIENCE. NOTHING WAS DONE. THE CAR READY BEFORE THE SHUTTLE GOT BACK TO THE SHOP. THE SERVICE MEN SHRUGGED IT OFF AND TOLD ME TO WATCH FOR THE WARNING SIGNS; I CAN'T HAVE ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THESE CARS ACROSS THE BOARD??!I HAD NO WARNING SIGNS..I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT KILLED AND DID NOT KILL ANYBODY WITH MY IMAGINARY CAR PROBLEMS. 2ND INCIDENT ALL SYSTEMS WENT CRAZY, EXTREME HEAT COMING FROM DASH, NO HEAT TURNED ON, FALSE READINGS, ALL WARNING LIGHTS AND GAUGES WENT OFF, POWER LOCKS DON'T WORK, NO MORE AUTO START I REQUESTED SERVICE WITH NO RESPONSE FOR 5 DAYS. I LEFT A VERY EXPRESSIVE MESSAGE FOR FLEET MANAGER AND SERVICE DEPT FINALLY RESPONDED. BAD SERVICE..RUDE. I PAID OVER 300 FOR CAR RENTAL GM PICKED UP 1 DAY THEY CONCLUDED AGAIN NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR. MALFUNCTION WAS CAUSED BY SNOW AND COLD WEATHER (NOT ACCEPTABLE)BECAUSE IT WASN'T DRIVEN IN SNOW. 3RD TIME DRIVING WITH KIDS ON FREEWAY IN RENO...GUESS WHAT NO POWER!! WAS ADVISED ONCE AGAIN THAT I COULD DRIVE IT ON IN THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY. WELL I LEARNED THE GM SECRET. LET HER SIT AND SHE'LL RESET. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF A DEATH CAUSED BY A $50000 TIME BOMB. DREAM CAR NOT WORTH A LIFE OR THE FEAR OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN EVERYTIME YOU START IT.

ALL FOUR ROTORS BECAME WARPED MYSTERIOUSLY JUST DAYS AFTER TAKING CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE OIL LEAK, REAR SPEAKER, AND LEFT POWER WINDOW FIXED.
