In a front end collision none off the air bags deployed on impact. Driver sustained injuries, and vehicle was totalled.the collision was a direct front end hit to the center of the vehicle.the speed of the vehicle was well over the posted speed recommended in the owners manual for the air bags to deploy.neither frontal air bag deployed.*jg
Typically in the afternoon on warm / hot days and after the car has sat all day outside, i'll go to start it, put the key into start position and the starter will not engage.all else seems to be functioning correctly.the fuel and temp gauges go back to 0 position, voltage drops but not by much.i have had to switch to the start position as much as 75 times before the starter engages.when it does engage it is turns over strongly.this isn't a battery problem.i can't find a pattern to tie to when this happens except it is mostly in the afternoon on warm / hot days and after the car has sat all day outside.
Since delivery the left rear of the vehicle rattled.the dealer attempted to fix the problem but the attempts were unsuccessful. The vehicle also experienced sloppy shifting, noisy drive train, no traction control, many squeaks and vibrations.the windshield scratched easily front he wiper blades which caused poor visibility.*mr *scc *nlm
I have a 2002 chevy camaro that is experiencing a security light issue and have been reading up on it online....this is such a hazard and a danger to other drivers i cant beleive it isnt under investigation, given that the numbers of complaints are outrageous! the other thing is the monoply that gm has on this problem, they are the only ones who can fix it, not your favorite home town mechanic, but gm only. The testing equipment used to diagnose this is only sold to them! and let me tell u something, they charge out the yinger for this, cost of cylinder 30.00 they charge you 600.00...bcm module...cost 130 and they charge you 800. This is a endangerment in the fact that your car..ummm say going the speed limit on the highway of say 65...and all of a sudden my car decides somone is stealing it....and cuts off the gas supply....well u can bet there is going to be a pile up of crashed cars and dead people. This is ridicilious and this is america and they shouldnt have a monoply onthis...alot of people cant afford this defect in gm cars so they have to risk mine and their lives.....you need to take action on this and have gm recall this or just give customers the option of them installing some kind of bypass of they system. Its not only older cars but new cars too!!!
On raining days the front windshield leaked waterinside ofthe vehicle.water leaked onto the fuse box/consumer legs/brakes, and gaspedal, resulting inan electrical short.then, vehicle caughton fire. Dealer wasnotified.
2002 chevrolet camaro ss. Consumer states engine failure due to wiring harness placement.*tgwaccording to the dealership, the number 7 cylinder may have passed compressed liquid, most likely fuel that caused the piston and rod to be damaged. It caused damage to the cylinder wall which required replacement of the engine. The technician also indicated that the number 8 cylinder was damaged. The dealer stated the cause for the fuel injectors remaining in the open position was the wiring controlling the fuel injectors was chafed and making contact with the bulkhead which grounded the wiring.the consumer stated one day he started the vehicle and white smoke emitted from the exhaust, he shut the vehicle off and let it sit in the driveway. The consumer stated the distance of the wiring from the bulkhead is less than 1/4 of an inch, the pcm can be made tomove just under 1/2 inch which would be enough distance for the wires to make contact with the bulkhead. It would indicate that over time, vibration from driving conditions would cause the pcm to move back and forth which strongly suggest a flaw in the positioning of the pcm. There was evidence to suggest that an outside source caused the wiring to chafe, such as rodents nesting in the engine compartment.
The contact owns a 2002 chevrolet camaro.the contact stated that the control box in the engine, located near the firewall, caused the fuel injectors to pour fuel into the engine.as a result, the engine was ruined.when the vehicle was started, white smoke appeared from the exhaust.the vehicle was towed to the dealer, but they went out of business.the vehicle was towed to another dealer and they replaced the entire engine.the manufacturer offered him a 10% discount and the contact paid $6,200 for the repair.the contact has a photo of where the box was located in the engine, which he felt was too close to the firewall and the initial cause of the failure.the current and failure mileages were approximately 44,000.

I was the owner of a 2002 camaro which was equipped with the asr (acceleration slip regulation system). This was supposed to provide traction control in wet road conditions.my vehicle had a tendency to fishtail on wet surfaces at normal speeds.
Driving home from work at 40 mph and suddenly all the red warning lights appear as i lose power-steering, alternator not charging, and my engine temperature rises to 300 degrees f.i pulled over to side of the road immediately to check under the hood.the pressed-on power steering pulley had come completely off the power steering pump and consequently causing the serpentine belt to fly off.i rarely drive this care and it has only 15,000 miles.so much general motors quality.

Cold and hot engine knock,istons replaced,ylinder walls in #1 and 8 out of specification.
The vehicle burned an excessive amount of oil.
All four rotors became warped mysteriously just days after taking car to dealership to have oil leak, rear speaker, and left power window fixed. Baffled at how this could occur on a vehicle with such low miles and easy driving. However, mechanics at dealership drove my car for 30 miles - so who knows what occurred during that time. Had to pay brake shop $85 to get 4 rotors resurfaced, since dealer would not warranty. (stereo speaker still not fixed, and window still rattles). *nlm
Camaro bought november 2002,brakes and tires replaced six months later.engine had sounded like a diesel within that same six months time.within three years rear end producing an ever increasing howl.had contacted dealer two times within first year about high oil consumption.was told it was normal for a quart to be lost within 3000 miles.i have to drive this car to work and i really don't know when one of my rear axles is going to fall off.i cannot afford a new rear end and my warranty expired by mileage.i don't know if this is going to do much good but it feel good to be able to write about what a 33,000 black camaro piece of crap can do to a man who has always been loyal as possible to chevy and had a dream to own such a car only to find out he would have been better off with a hyundai.i will tell you one thingand maybe this will tell you what i really think of chevy and their cars.

The contact owns 2002 chevrolet camaro. The contact stated that the passenger side turning signal failed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnose that the right signal compartment area retained water and caused the bulb to fail. The bulb compartment was cut for the water to leak and the bulb was replaced, however the failure was not corrected. The right directional bulb continued to fail. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 67,463 and the current mileage was 73,000.
The contact owns a 2002 chevrolet camaro.theleft turn signal light burned out and melted the wires.both of the blinkers burned out one year ago and the dealer replaced both sockets.the current mileage is 76,000,and failure mileage was 70,000.
Front left turn signal/parking light keeps burning out.both sides have been replaced with new sockets costing around $400.00, right after the warranty expired.since then the left side has gone out 3 more times in the last year costing $45.00 each time.it is impossble to reach the bulb to replace it yourself.dealer insists that the parking lens was cracked causing moisture to enter the socket.when insepcting the vehicle, there is no crack.. Now they say its the seal around the parking lens.i just replaced another burnt out bulb 6 weeks ago and it happened again. It also has not rained to cause any moisture in the last 6 weeks.

While driving, skip shift feature forces shifts to move from first to forth by passing second and third gears, no acceleration.on several occasions, other vehicles have had to take evasive action to avoid collison.

Since delivery, vehicle has left rear rattle. 4 attempts to repair did not correct problem. Also, sloppy shifting & noisy drive train, no traction control, many squeaks and vibrations. Also, windshield scratches easily (from wipers?) and vision is distorted. Gm promised to have area service manager contact me, but no one has. Seeking replacement or repurchase of auto due to many different problems, and complete dissatisfaction.
While driving 5 mph consumer's vehicle wasrear ended.both passenger and driver seat belts failed to retract.this caused driver/passenger to sustain minor injuries, and were transported to the hospital by ambulance. Consumer drove the vehicle to the dealer for inspection. *mr
I have a 2002 camaro convertible which is still under new vehicle warranty that has a driver?s side seat belt that will not retract when exiting the car.yesterday i met with gm?s factory rep who examined the car and insists that the belts operate normal.even though this belt ?may? engage properly in the event of a collision, the fact that it does not retract is a deterrent to using it.the driver always has to reach around to find the buckle in a different location.how many drivers with camaros are deterred from using their seat belts because of this condition?how many injuries and deaths have occurred because people don?t wear their seat belts because of this deterrent condition?regards, joe zoltak, 414 pine dr n, surfside beach, sc 29575, 843-828-8490.

2002 camaro, car started to shake when brakes were applied at abt 8,000 miles. Took into dealer to be checked out. Was told rotors needed to be turned.for this to happen with such low miles must be defective. Should have been given new rotors. Has there been a recall?

When applying pressure to the brake pedal, the vehicle shook violently.the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and the mechanic determined that the front rotors were warped and must be replaced.ceramic brakes were placed on the vehicle which caused the rotors to warp. *scc
Since around 5000 i started to feel a ribration in the steering wheel while braking. It has slowly got worst till now at 10,000 miles. I am told it is the rotors and they a warped. Shoes have plenty of good pad left and no grooves are worn it the rotor face. The starting date is estimated date that the problem started.
The brake pedal went to the floor when the brake was applied which caused extended stopping distance.the dealer was notified.*nlm
The vehicle experienced a vibration, when the brake was applied.
My 2002 gm chevrolet camaro's abs brake system has failed.there were no incidents that led up to the failure of the component. As to date 03/02/2010 my abs braking system is inoperable,i have no abs. Only a warning light telling me i have no abs. The failure occurred approx. 11/2 years ago,and since it was not under warranty gm will not fix this problem.again i believe that gm knows of this failure in their systems(abs..anti-lock braking system)the cost to repair or replace this abs components is apprx.$2,500.00. My inquires with other gm ownersof other models ie;corvette state the same problems as the camaros. Failure of this components is very critical for safety in preventing wheels from locking up and causing a skid leading to a very dangerous accident.(the main reason consumers want anti-lock brakes!)
While driving and applying the brakes the steering wheel vibrated uncontrollably.a loud clanking noise was heard coming from the driver's side and passenger side wheels.the consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it to the dealer.the mechanic determined that the wheel rims were not the correctrims.the mechanic replaced the rim spacer for the front.but the rear rim spacer were on back order.the wheel studs were broken and the lug nuts were working themselves loose, the wheel centering spacers were not installed when the rims were replaced, the studs weren't long enough for the rims.*sc
While applying the brakes pedal went to the floor.abs braking light appeared on the dashboard and remained on.consumer drove the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, anddealer was notable to duplicate the problem.
In august 2002, i produced brakes in 542 dept. At delphi chassis systems, dayton, ohio. The department was scheduled to cease work 2 months after the end of gm f-car production i was placed in inspection behind brake assembly. I inspected all brakes produced as service parts.before i arrived, there were problems with porosity in the brake castings. Instead of requiring the castings producer to bring in an x-ray machine, general foreman sam hanakeri, on orders from vp guy hachey, installed an air gun driver and water tank to check parts as they ran. The air gun would shoot a special screw connected to a compressed air connection, and the part was dunked while the compressed air was attached to the brake casting.the problem: the compressed air attachment cross threaded about 5% of the connection holes in the casting. Since these connections have to withstand hydraulic pressure when the brakes are in use, cross threading causes leaks and potential brake failure.a gm assembly plant had issued a prr for the cross threading, but only for one side of the brakes delphi management only wanted to inspect the threads on the brakes mentioned in the gm prr, not mirror images. They knew that the inspection process damaged both sides, but wanted to ignore the problems on the non prr side.sam hanakeri, gf, ordered me to inspect only the prr sides. He stated that the inspection process came from guy hachey, and could not be changed or improved. I inspected these parts 60 days. Sam hanakeri objected to the scrap resulting from my finding bad threads, stating that previous inspectors had found less. I told him that i signed the forms, and as long as my name was on the forms, they would reflect what i saw.these service parts are still on shelves. The assembly parts have been in use since 2002.the inspection forms are still in existence, maintained by bill englund at delphi need more brake plant.
Intermittently the brake pedal shuttered/shimmied and pulsated when depressed. This was due to a failure in the brake rotors.

My 2002 camaro has had excessive vibration in the steering wheel cased by warped front rotors.rotors were turned but 8k miles later they were so warped again that they had to be replaced. Put new pads and aftermarket slotted rotors to redue warping.
2002 camero has developed excessive rotor wear and warping at low mileage and normal driving conditions. Dealer cliams it is not covered by warranty since it is not a defect in labor or material.dealer service agent told me in confidence they have seen numerous cases and believe it to be a bad batch of rotors...still won't fix under warranty!!!
The dealership informed the consumer that when the vehicle pulsated, the problem was due to warped rotors. Please provide more information.
When applying brakes at high speedvehicle shutters. Steering wheel vibrates, and braking distance is extended. Also,rotors were resurfaced at 4000 miles, then replaced. Rotors need resurfacing again at this time.
Front disc brake rotors warped prematurely.
Vehicle vibrates during braking. Have had rotors replaced and turned. Problem returns every time. Rotors are warping due to normal braking. Dealer says it is due to hard driving, will not service under warranty.*nlm

Brake rotors were warped and had to be turned twice within the first 15,000 miles of ownership under normal driving conditions.dealer would not replace under warranty however, they machined the rotors as a "courtesy" and advised me not to stop so hard in the future - ridiculous!
All four rotors became warped mysteriously just days after taking car to dealership to have oil leak, rear speaker, and left power window fixed.

I have noticed bubbling in the paint around the edges of the roof and sail panel.i was told this is caused by a defective glue used by gm which causes the paint to delaminate and corrode.i tried to contact two dealerships and chevrolet customer service but was denied each time.i believe this problem should be covered under the 6yr/100,000 mile paint warranty.

2002 chevrolet camaro. Consumer writes in regards to a design defect. *ldthe consumer stated there was a recurring problem with the sail roof panel bubbling through the black paint of the vehicle. The consumer was advised, by the dealer, that the adhesive was causing the failure. The sail roof is no longer being manufactured. The only way to repair the part would be to find a replacement at a junk yard. The consumer stated that was unacceptable.
