Read complaints for CHEVROLET CAMARO (2011)
I was going to work as i came down the off ramp i lost all power and hit a pole there was massive damage to the front end and to the engine also i never received a recall notice i did not find out about the recall until i looked up on the internet what may have happened also my air bags never deployed.
Two days ago while driving the service airbag came on. I went online to research any reasons why and found that many others have the same problem around same mileage, right after warranty expired. I also noticed a lawsuit concerning the 2011 camaro airbags.01/07/2017.
The contact owns a 2011 chevrolet camaro. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated in the vehicle. The dealer stated that the air bag modulator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was unavailable. The failure mileage was 81,000.
Service airbags alert is coming on. The connectors holding the sensors to the seat bottoms are loose and when adjusted, the alert goes off. Car now has 40,954 miles. Alert comes on when car is started.
Passenger air bag kept coming on and stayed on
The contact owns a 2011 chevrolet camaro. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the service air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.
I was turning right while driving the vehicle and then by mistake the back right tire and wheel hit the curve and that made a little damage to the wheel and the wheel is little bit diagonal. Worst case scenario the bearings is broken. My complaint is why would the airbags deploy that moment while the impact is only on the wheel? also my friend was sitting on the passenger seat and after the airbag deployed the powder that comes out from it got on his skin and he got burned from it, since that is a very dangerous and can cause burns if it gets on unprotected skin, and it can severely irritate the lungs if inhaled. The main point is the airbag shouldn't deploy in a small damage as this, i have said that because i experienced it with 2010 s600 mercedes benz, the damage was way way worse then the one on the camaro. The damage on the s600 was to wheels broken and the body got effected and the accident was very similar to the camaro and the airbag on the s600 didn't deploy and mercedes have better quality and more safety then chevrolet. I went to the royal chevrolet in west broad street richmond, virginia. They didn't treat me well they were talking to me as child they didn't even inspect the car they just the airbags did what it suppose to do that was by the service manager. I told him the damage was very minor and the deployment of the airbag shouldn't happen he didn't even say anything he was trying to flip the whole thing on me. He told i have nothing to do go call gm.
The airbag light came on intermittently, and now, stays on all the time.i don't know if the airbags will deploy in an accident.
Service airbag light is on and dealer wants $99 for diagnostics and up to $700 to fix. Found out there are many complaints on this and a lawsuit so it should maybe be a recall! the car hadn't ben driven from october 1st until may 1st because it was in storage and the light came on the minute we drove it.
The contact owns a 2011 chevrolet camaro. The contact's vehicle was rear ended by another vehicle and the air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained back and knee injuries. The vehicle was repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The speed was unknown. The failure mileage was 19,000.
While vehicle is moving at any speed or parked. Airbag chime comes on and passenger seat indicator light turns airbags off even when passenger is seated in seat. Took vehicle to dealer, computer code read passenger pressure sensor was bad. Vehicle not repaired due to high cost. Occurred at 65000 miles.
The passenger's air bag light is on that states the bag is off. Took to dealer and was told the seat sensor needs replaced. Car has 60000 miles. Came on around 52000. Was told that the airbag will not deployed if involved in an accident unless the sensor was replaced. Cost to replace $700.00. Searched and seems to be a problem on this make.researched nhtsa web site and there are close to 200 complaints for the same thing. Do not know why no recall has been issued do to a safety hazard. Light is on where moving or parked.
Service airbag randomly comes on. The service airbag light will come on then go off while the car is moving as well as parked.it will stay on for random durations which also disables the passenger side airbag.this happens in city or on highways.
Passenger air bag sensor turns on and off causing alarm and service airbag warning.this happens when and adult sits in the car or when there is anything in the passenger set.4 year old car should not have this problem.
Service airbag light comes on and stays on when started
While driving on the highway or on city streets, the air bag light comes on an dings about every 20 seconds.i am able to stop the ding bypushing the button to disregard the message. It did this for about 2 weeks. It no longer dings but the air bag indicator light continuously stays lit and the "service airbag" light comes on when the car is started.2011 camaro v6, 100,000 miles

On 4 different occasions, the service airbag indicator has turned on in my car. It has been in the service department each time with work listed as connections cleaned, sensor checked, warning reset.....but no replacement parts and nothing noted as defective. I've been told putting a lap top on the passenger seat could set off the sensor.....a blue-tooth call could set off the sensor, but not why? most recent trip (#5) to hendricks motors was 04/24/2014. We picked the car up, ran errands (appx. 40 miles) and the light is on again - the same day! i have been told the air bags will still deploy, the air bags might deploy, and the air bags will not deploy, as long as the service light is on. What is my next step? i am trying to document everything in case there is an accident and the bags don't deploy.
The air bag sensor in the passenger seat does not work all the time very erratic!
Just picked up car. It was in shop for two days. Car had a grinding and squealing in the steering. Gm technical assistance told them the disconnect shaft to see where noise was coming from. Dealer had to replace angle sensor and srs coil for the air bag. Pick up car and was like new again for about 35 mile. I was backing into drive way and heard a snap from the steering. Now the noise is back and steering iswobbly and clunking along with a strong smell of power steering fluid! i have to take it back tomorrow for their 4th attempt, next step lemon lawyer!

[xxx]march 7, 2012gmpo box 33170detroit, mi 48232-5170re: 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 servicemileagecomments6/28/201131,475module replacement9/15/201122,246sensor and module replacement10/19/201122,856sensor replacement12/21/2011143,916reprogram 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).
At about 34,000 miles on the car, i started getting intermittent codes whenever somebody was sitting in the passenger side seat about the airbag not being activated. After some time the code was steady and now the airbag remains deactivated at all times, even if someone sitting in the passenger seat. I did have this diagnosed and it came up as the passenger airbag module, the replacement cost is approximately $1,000. I have also discovered through a relative that has access to the mechanics communication board that although it comes up as the module it is a known wiring issue. Apparently this issue has been going on through several year models of the camaro. I did reach out to chevrolet about the problem however the only help that they would offer was to call the dealership so the dealership could call me so i can bring it in and have it fixed. From what i understand changing the module does not fix the problem as it has something to do with the wiring system. I'm a little outraged that chevrolet has known about this problem and yet continues to use the same system in other year models and chooses to do nothing about it. So at this moment i am driving around with out an airbag on the passenger side. I'm not really sure why they have not been held accountable on such a safety issue.
Service air bag suddenly came on and will not go off. The car alarms every few seconds and flashes the warning service air bag. It will not go off and prevent me from seeing how fast i am going etc etc. I still have a warrantee on car but i am sure it does not include air bag. It is scary to drive because i don't know if air bag will engage and cause me to wreck. I am terrified. Also the traction ended up frying my computer and after 2000 dollars later my car sounds like starter or battery is drained. Which is exactly what happened before it fried the computer the first time.very frustrating.
I bought this car new and has about 85000 miles on it and took it in because of airbag light being on. I was told passenger present sensor needs to be replaced which causes airbag light to remain on when car is moving. This is ridiculous i looked about this claim and there are hundreds of camaros with this exact same issue. This is a $700 replacement and does not sit well with me as i've always bought chevys and not had issues before. This is a safety issue and if i have to pay $700 to fix a safety issue that was defective with this vehicle and several hundred others then this is a manufacture defect that should not fall on consumer to get it replaced. Let me know what can be done here! thanks

The contact owns a 2011 chevrolet camaro. While driving 50 mph, the front driver and passenger and side air bags deployed. The service air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bag sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 55,000.
Air bags light on all the time.
Approximately 1 year ago 2015 my passenger airbag light said off and has continued to stay off no matter who sits in my passenger seat. At the time i had 2 recalls on my car to be fixed and i told my dealership bobby murray chevrolet at the time about the airbag light and they said there was no recall on it so i would have to pay myself for the diagnosis. I'm a single parent and live paycheck to paycheck and only have 1 car for transportation, so i'm unable to shell out the $ to have the airbag diagnose and repaired. My car was outta of original warranty and i have another warranty but the co told me no warranty co will repair anything to do with airbags. So i've been waiting to see if a recall would be issued for this problem. Now my airbag redlight on dash is on and i'm assuming if i'm in a wreck my airbags won't work i don't know. I had 46,636 miles on my 2011 camaro. I've talked with dealer over this past year to see if anything can be done and all they say is they don't have a clue wats wrong with my car and would have to take apart to find the problem & i have to pay. I've spoken to gm headquarters all they said is they'll pay a $100 toward diagnosis. Don't know if they'll pay towards the repair any. I don't have extra money for pay for repair and i've researched other people's repair costs and it runs around $700-$1000. Please help me. I don't want to die in an accident because airbags don't deploy. I'm all my kids have.
"service air bag" warning light is on in instrument panel. Dealer has made three attempts to repair by using zip ties on specific electrical connections. Problem has not been resolved.
The contact owns a 2011 chevrolet camaro. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who diagnosed that the passenger's present detection sensor needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vin was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 33,000.
The contact owns a 2011 chevrolet camaro. While driving approximately 45 mph, the air bag light illuminated and flashed. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bag sensor and air bag module were faulty and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the warranty was expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 54,000.
When the car is started the passenger & drivers side air bag warning lights come on. A message appears that the air bags have been turned off.
Airbag system not working, dealer said it could be a sensor that would cost over $600.00 to replace. It will come on sometimes and work for a few moments then the entire airbag system shuts off again.
I originally had trouble with the airbag sensor in 2013. I took it to my local dealer who stated they where unable to duplicate the issue. They reset the sensor and it was fine. Now with the vehicle out of warranty anytime some one sits in the passenger seat the service airbag light turns on and off the whole time i am driving. Most recently it has started turning on and off even when no one is in the seat. Returned to dealer for repair and it will be $700 plus to fix.
The passenger side air bag works about 50% of the time with an adult passenger in the seat. My wife is normal sized, about 5'6" and 160 lbs.the passenger air bag light will also intermittently show on and then off while driving with a passenger, even when the passenger is making no movements.it was been replicated at the dealer, with more than one passenger, including an employee of the dealership. It was also replicated while connected to an odbc2. After four trips to the dealer, they now declare it is "operating as designed" and there will be no more attempted repairs. The vehicle is now out of warranty and still exhibits the issue.i have found several similar complaints on a chevy forum here:http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122468they all mimic my issue. One consumer had the car replaced under the lemon law.i took my case to bbb arbitration and lost on a technicality. I was told i did not give the dealer enough opportunities to repair the car. However, each time i took it in after the fourth attempt, they refused to repair the car and stated it was "operating as designed".after the arbitration meeting, a chevy employee present at the meeting offereda seat replacement in the form of a written letter. Later, i took him up on his offer, but they had rescinded the offer. I took it up the management chain, and at one point, i was offered a car replacement but this was later rescinded. Now the car is out of warranty after attempting repairs for three years.
Around 60,000 miles, the "service airbag" warning was displayed alongside the airbag light on my vehicle.the warning is displaying at all speeds and whenever the vehicle is turned on.i am trying to sell the vehicle to purchase another vehicle but was told today at a local dealership that the value of my trade-in would be decreased by $2,000 due to this warning which would hamper me from being able to afford another vehicle.i am not able to afford this $2,000, so it seems as though i am driving around with a vehicle of which its airbags are not functioning.i am unsure what more i can do given there seems to be many others with unresolved concerns similar to this.
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 thatairbags depleted need replacing.
The contact owns a 2011 chevrolet camaro. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the driver and passenger side air bags deployed inadvertently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bag sensors needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 30,028.
Approaching a three-way intersection with a stop sign with intent to stop and turn right.vehicle suddenly accelerated without accelerator input from driver.driver was unable to brake/stop vehicle or effectively control steering/path of travel.vehicle, according to state patrol, gains an estimated speed of 65 mph through intersection and collides with embankment/mountain hillside.at this time, car became airborne to an estimated height of 28' and landed on front driver side of vehicle first.front airbags failed to deploy upon impact.driver sustained a serious tbi(traumatic brain injury) & concussion due to blunt force trauma to the head due to lack of airbag deployment.owner still continues to suffer from side effects of the tbi injury and wants to notify the public that life-threatening issues exist with this vehicle.to date, gm has issued two major recalls on this vehicle pertaining to what lead/caused the accident.
Service passenger air bag, would not go off. And check engine light keep coming on.
Air bag sensor is always coming on and dings every few minutes....whether or not there is someone in the passenger seat or not, whether its in drive or in park, when it goes off, i turn the switch to disregard the notification and it comes on every few minutes....also, the evaporator core kit needs replaced, which is about $2000 and 20 hours of labor due to having to remove windsheild. Heater and defrost work fine but ac will not cool, smells funny inside the car and makes noise when you try to turn on a/c. Thankfully its fall.. No recalls but found lots of complaints on the a/c and 2011 chevrolet camaros. The a/c started slowly getting less and less cool each day then the last day before it quit, the driver side wouldnt cool at all but the passenger side would. Put in refrigerant and it cooled for a couple more days then just quit cooling. 75,000 miles, had it 5 years 1 month, no warranty. Dont want to pay that much to cool my car, will not purchase another camaro! not happy.
Takata recall intermittent service airbag light 1st time service light came on car only had about 8k mile dealer fix was a loose connection 2nd time service light came on then went off. 3rd time was about 3yrs after 2nd incidence service light came on and stayed on dealer fix r&r side impact airbag assembly. $420.00 labor $425.00 parts total $907.13.
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.
The airbag need service alert came on while my husband was driving and i on the passenger side. The next morning i called ivory chevrolet and was told the earliest i could be seen was monday @ 8:30am ,because they only had one person that could fix the problem. I arrived @ 7:45am. At 9:00am i was asked, what's my issue and at 11:00 i asked why it was taking so long for a diagnostic and was told someone will check. Guy approach me @ 12:00 and advice me that they reset the sensor and to keep my purse out of the car seat. Three days later the airbag alert & tire alert came on. Onstar system do not show data for the front passenger side tire. I spoke with a serviceman @ ivory and was told to come back in. I really don't understand why there isn't a recall on this issue and request an explanation.
The 'service airbag' notification keeps repeatedly showing on my dashboard. This has been happening for the past month. This message appears whether anything is located in the passenger seat or not. My local chevy dealership stated that this issue 'will cost a couple hundred' to repair.
At 43000 miles service airbag and chime appeared in drivers informationcenter. Light stays on and chimes every few seconds. Vehicle was running but not moving in parking lot when this happened. After looking online this is a fairly common problem with these cars. Concerned about airbags deploying on their own, or not deploying in a crash.
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.
Around 100,000 miles my airbag light came on. The vehicle was not in an accident, the light just came on, while driving one day. Took it to the dealership and they said the airbag needs to be replaced at an expensive price. Currently riding around in a vehicle with faulty airbags for no apparent reason.
The contact owns a 2011 chevrolet camaro. While the contact was driving 35-40 mph, the rear passenger side quarter panel of his vehicle was struck by a heavy truck. The contact's vehicle spun out of control, struck and ricocheted off a pickup truck, struck and ricocheted off a guardrail, and stopped in the middle of the road. The contact stated that the air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact stated that his lower back was sore; however, medical attention was not sought. The vehicle was towed to a body shop. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the insurance company had not determined if the vehicle was destroyed. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 91,000. The vin was not available.
I was leaving work one day with no one in the passenger seat... I got a error saying service airbag. I called the dealer ship and they said my car was out of warranty and there was nothing they can do.. This is the only dealership in my town the next dealer is 250 miles away.. When a passenger gets in the car i get the error every 2 minutes it works then it doesn't it will state the airbag is on and seconds later it says it's off and a passenger is buckled up in the moving car... I'm afraid it will deploy with my young children in the car... Please do a recall on the 2011 camaro i searched recalls and there is a recall for all 2010 and 2012 camaro airbags... Why skip 2011 if something is wrong with the previous and following year then there is something wrong with the 2011 as well..
On august 18th 2020.i was interested in buying this 2011 camarofrom ts auto sales in orlando florida.the salesman name is [xxx].i asked him if there was any extensive damage to the vehicle? he said the driver side was hit and it was replaced.i asked him if there was anything else? he said no.after i purchased the vehicle.i later found out, that he was not being truthful with me.i looked the vehicle up, and found that the air bags had been deployed.which is a major safety violation.i also asked him why the battery was being drained.he said it just need to be charged.i took the car to a steve's auto electric inclermont florida.the technician told me that the air bags needed to be replaced.at the cost of $3,500.this is a rebuild able title.you can not get this vehicle inspected if all of the repairs are not done, and you must have receipts for every part that was repaired, or replaced.this is a very unsafe vehicle.to my understanding.it's the responsibility of the dealership to make any major repairs before selling a vehicle.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Around 60,000 miles, the 'service airbag' warning began displaying from when the car is started until it is shut off.i am interested in selling the vehicle, but when i took the car in to a local dealership, they said they were going to take "$2,000" off of what would be offered for the car because of this airbag problem.when researching this problem, it sounds to be a relatively common problem that others are having - but even more concerning, it sounds like this error may deactivate the airbag altogether which is a considerable safety concern considering i don't have $2,000 to put toward the car to resolve this error.
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 offin 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.
Passenger side air bag sensor in seat is defective, continues to go on and off when someone is sitting in passenger side of car. Or when i have my laptop in the passenger seat. Chevrolet will not acknowledge there is a problem.it appears to be a bad design or defective parts. Car has not been in any accidents that i know of and no kids usually ride in front seat
The passenger airbag light come on the dashboard stating repairs needed & regardless if someone is sitting in the seat the passenger airbag light remains 'off' if the vehicle is moving or stationary. Today i was sitting in the passenger seat while my husband was driving, the airbag was on & all the sudden the warning sound chimes & the light went to the off position.
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 theservice 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.
The passenger curtain side and driver side airbags deployed after making a sharp left hand turn out of a turnout upon trying to reenter the roadway. The tires lost traction for a brief moment and the airbags were deployed over my head on both the right and left side of the vehicle. The seatbelt pretensioners also actuated and tightened very hard. The cab was filled with white smoke and my vision was lost momentarily. I was traveling to words the roadway but managed to stop previous to entering the road. There was oncoming traffic and i was also burned and my neck very severely injured due to the nature of the violent explosion right next to my head. My left eardrum is also permanently ruptured due to this event. My vehicle was located on a mountan road in southern california highway 2. Had this happened in a corner on the actual roadway the consiquences may have been much more severe. Again nothing at all was struck during the deployment and nothing has been hit since. I took the car to the dealer that morning they gave me a loaner but still after a week had nit even looked at the car and informed me i would have to pay for the rental. Whe n i was able to get out of bed i returned to the dealer returned the car and took mine back. I contacted lawyer after l lawyer bone of which wanted to help. I was forced to go back to work as i am self employed and have no other means of supporting myself. The problem is still not fixed and my medical issues still persist.

I want to inform you the vehicle dealership blew me off when it came to getting my vehicle recall completed.the following is what i went through with garber automall, 3340 highway 17, green cove springs, florida to get them to process my vehicle recall.as the consumer i was stuck between the manufacturer of the vehicle and the vehicle dealership.august 2014, i received a recall letter on my 2011 chevrolet camaro's ignition key, recall number 14294.at that time, i telephoned garber automall to make an appointment to get the recall completed.they told me the recall was ?optional? and i did not have to get it done, if i did not want to.i re-read the recall letter from chevrolet and did not find the word ?optional? mentioned.on 28 october 2014, i wrote chevrolet, attn:jim moloney, general director, customer & relationship services, post office box 909989, milwaukee, wi, who i received the recall letter from and told him the dealership is telling me the recall is ?optional.?i did not receive an answer from jim moloney.then i started receiving post cards from recall information processing center, post office box 909989, milwaukee, wi, stating their records showed i had not completed the recall service on my vehicle.true because the vehicle dealership told me the recall was ?optional.?on 15 jan 2015, i took my vehicle in for 15,000 mile maintenance.again, i mentioned my recall and was told it was ?optional.?i told the dealership i wanted it done because my recall paperwork says nothing about ?optional.?on 2 feb 2015, i finally got the recall completed.since going through this frustration with my first vehicle recall, i can fully understand why consumers ignore vehicle recalls.i was ready to pack it up and purchase myself a horse and buggy.
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!

1.convertible in the shop over 45 days. 2.cables from top showing on driver and passenger side above windows. 3.cable prohibits opening passenger door/makes opening driver door tough. 4.exhaust rattles incessantly. 5. Had 2 broken bows on top at 1st. 6. Original top had a hole in it. 7. New top and 2 bows replaced. New top had wear marks in various places ? when we got it back, and getting more thread bare each day. Marks were on it the day we got it back. 8. Other convertible owners state their wear went through all the way to the rivets. 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. Large gaps on the side of the top where it meets the body when it is up ? you could place your arm into the holes. Dealer fixed 2 times. 14. Spent over 2.5g lettering the car for our business, decal-deleted, detail company waxing, tinted windshield and windows. Gm corporate says they will place us in a new hard top camaro, but will not pay ttl, re-waxing, re-lettering car, decal deleting or tinting. Ok law states that ttl is indeed covered. 15. 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.

Air bag sensor is always coming on and dings every few minutes....whether or not there is someone in the passenger seat or not, whether its in drive or in park, when it goes off, i turn the switch to disregard the notification and it comes on every few minutes....also, the evaporator core kit needs replaced, which is about $2000 and 20 hours of labor due to having to remove windsheild. Heater and defrost work fine but ac will not cool, smells funny inside the car and makes noise when you try to turn on a/c. Thankfully its fall.. No recalls but found lots of complaints on the a/c and 2011 chevrolet camaros. The a/c started slowly getting less and less cool each day then the last day before it quit, the driver side wouldnt cool at all but the passenger side would. Put in refrigerant and it cooled for a couple more days then just quit cooling. 75,000 miles, had it 5 years 1 month, no warranty. Dont want to pay that much to cool my car, will not purchase another camaro! not happy.

Service air bag suddenly came on and will not go off. The car alarms every few seconds and flashes the warning service air bag. It will not go off and prevent me from seeing how fast i am going etc etc. I still have a warrantee on car but i am sure it does not include air bag. It is scary to drive because i don't know if air bag will engage and cause me to wreck. I am terrified. Also the traction ended up frying my computer and after 2000 dollars later my car sounds like starter or battery is drained. Which is exactly what happened before it fried the computer the first time.very frustrating.

Having issues with car maintaining oil levels.1st instance did oil consumption then found it was leaking from engine seal, replaced that then another oil consumption @ 1000 miles later to find out it was leaking from some sort of plug, replaced that, another oil consumption test @ 2000 miles to only find out it was low on oil again, gm told the dealer to do a top engine cleaner on it.then gm replaced the whole engine cover assembly and seals and informed me that you couldn't use dextose full synthetic because the seals and rings wouldn't sit right and that oil was made for corvettes and cadillac , three days later check engine light came on.went back to the dealer they just cleared the code and told me to drive it.not even 1/2 way home noticed the car wouldn't accelerate, called dealer and took it back, finding out the catalytic converter was bad needed to be replaced.replaced that.it's only been 2000 and now the oil level is on the end of the dip stick.when speaking to the service manager he said not to go by the oil % life on the car as it wasn't accurate.to change at 5000 miles.but being at the end of the dip stick the math isn't adding up.car at the dealer now and got a call everything is in spec per gm and it's burning 1 qt per 2000 miles, nothings wrong.clearly you can see oil residue on the alternator and brand new engine cover they just put on.

The timing chain on my camaro 3.6l was stretched causing the engine to run rough and stall out while driving. The dealership was well aware of the issue based on a service alert from the manufacture. The vehicle had 53000 miles and was repaired at my cost for a know manufacturer defect. Had to get the vehicle repaired for safety because it was unsafe to drive.

While traveling 60 mph my car started shaking violently and the check engine light came on. I safely pulled to the side of the road. Checked the engine could physically see anything wrong with it. I checked the oil and the dipstick was almost dry. My oil change was overdue by 3000 miles. Last oil changed i used full synthetic oil thinking i could go a little further between oil changes. Never received a oil pressure indicator light on my display. I would have thought that i should have received some type of indication that my oil pressure or oil level was low. Now left with the high cost of replacing the engine.

I have a 2011 chevy camaro with 68k on it, recently the heater core went out and i think it is to soon for the heater core to go out. A recall should be considered for the heater core as the hot fluids from the leak can cause serious accidents. In order to replace the heater core chevy will have to remove the windshield to get to it. I was told it would be $1700 to fix and an additional $400 if the windshield breaks which is up-surd!
I was going to work as i came down the off ramp i lost all power and hit a pole there was massive damage to the front end and to the engine also i never received a recall notice i did not find out about the recall until i looked up on the internet what may have happened also my air bags never deployed.
I'm writing, because i believe the chevy camaro may possibly have some faulty parts. Today there was a,deadly crash involving a chevy camaro that exploded,on impact. Apparently the passengers,burned to death in this vehicle. Since i myself drive a,2011,chevy camaro i was wondering what would cause this vehicle to,explode. I googled "camaro fire impact" to see,if any possible recalls, how ever i noticed,i came across several articles online where they stated of camaros bursting into,flames,upon impact, and according to these,articles people have died in these vehicles,due,to,the,fires.
My car began to over heat causing my vehicle to suddenly lose power. Also caused fogged windshield .. The heater core on the camaro from 2010 - 2013are having malfunctions causing the car to overheat and or spill boiling liquid onto your passengers feet, if you were to have a passenger start to scream when this burning liquid were to hit their feet while wearing high heels or sandals you can easily get distracted and lose control of you vehicle from just someone screaming out of now where, there are countless stories on the camaro forum about these heater cores going bad..

I went out to my driveway and noticed oil i never drive this car hard it is babies as we show it so i did some research and found that many of us driving 2010 to 2012 v6 camaro have had issues with the oil filter adapter housing were the housing meets the block the seal is deteriorating and gushing oil out i lost a quarter of oil in less than 500 miles others have seized there engines my concern is what if we are cruising down the interstate and the engine seizes it could cause injury or death i have found many of us complaining on different forums about the oil issue
78000 miles, timing chain issue, spun rod bearings, and low compression in the engine.oil and maintenance done on a regular basis. Check engine light did not go on, no warning signs, and did not automatically shut off, kept running. I was going 40 miles per hours on a highway, was driving and started hearing the engine sound like a tractor trailer, hearing bangs every 3/4 of a second.hearing multiple reports on camaro forums about this, and nothing is being done, chevy said it is an owner issue, i needed to get my entire engine replaced because of it. This is not normal for 78,000 miles on a car, but i guess that is why they brought their power train warranty down about the same time people started reporting these issues.contacted gm directly and they said their was nothing they can do about it but make a report about it, and if they ever come around to a recall they will pay me back the cost of the prior repair.
I have a 2011 chevrolet camaro with a 3.6 engine.the timing chains on this motor are knownto stretch which messes up the emissions among other things.the same engine is in a saturn,gmc acadia, and some cadillacs.these three vehicles are covered by the recall but the camaro is not even though it is the same engine. It is a very expensive repair and i'm not sure what my next step should be.the car has 80,000 miles.any information is greatly appreciated.thank you.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
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.
Ac started to blow out really cold air (could see the cold air coming out) and would hear the compressor being turned on and off and then no more cold air would blow out. Took it in to the dealer and they said it was the condenser. Purchased a condenser and another mechanic said that the compressor would not turn on. Researched problems and seems that it has something to do with the control module not communicating with compressor to turn on and off. I can not find any recalls or a dealer that will repair this or if this is even what it is.

The headlights on my camaro 2ss with hid headlights have gotten so dim that i am afraid to drive the car at night because the car doesn't light up the road at all. I only use it during the day.if i need to go somewhere at night i have to use my other vehicle. I went to the local chevrolet dealer and was told it was $125.00 to see what is going on.i've read all over the internet that everyone that has these cars are having the same problem.i think there needs to be a recall on these lights so we can be safe without having to spend $1500.00 to replace both headlights.

My transmission not working the car won't move when i put it in gear .at first when i stop at a light or stop sign when getting ready to pull off step on the gas the car won't move it would hesitate then jump into gear.
^6 speed manual transmission, bypass/lockout will not allow correct shift forcing vehicle to hesitate or be become bogged down. Forces you to 4th gear or 6th. In traffic this a hazard while trying to build up speed,for on ramp,merging,passing sometimes car will stall. Only to correct temporarily is pull on side of road and stop put car in reverse then vehicle shifts normal for a slight while. Gm is in denial!!! in motion on highway and city streets.
My car began to over heat causing my vehicle to suddenly lose power. Also caused fogged windshield .. The heater core on the camaro from 2010 - 2013are having malfunctions causing the car to overheat and or spill boiling liquid onto your passengers feet, if you were to have a passenger start to scream when this burning liquid were to hit their feet while wearing high heels or sandals you can easily get distracted and lose control of you vehicle from just someone screaming out of now where, there are countless stories on the camaro forum about these heater cores going bad..

Leaving work and the clutch stuck when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear then there was a terrible burning smell and it stalled in the middle of an intersection. Then while i was on the highway driving 65mph i down-shifted from 6th to 5th for upcoming slower traffic and the clutch stuck again and the car starts to stall. Both times i had pressed on the gas thinking the clutch would come out and it didn't so then there was terrible burning smell. I finally got the clutch unstuck both times and proceeded home. It didn't do it while driving to work but my car had been in the garage all night. However, at work my car sits outside all day and it was really cold that day. I notified the dealer first thing in the morning and they are looking at it.
I was on my way to a car show and stopped at a stop sign. As i continued on at about 3/4 throttle o was shifting gears as i went from 2nd to 3rd gear i heard and felt a loud bang on bottom of car. I lost all acceleration and pulled over. I picked up the parts from the road. After having car towed to a friend's shop we were able to get it on a lift and see that the drive shaft had exploded at the mid point. After further inspection we found that the emergency brake cables had bet completely destroyed and the drive shaft that was left attached to transmission had ripped into the tunnel of the car. I could see the carpet and plastic to center console through this hole.
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.
When merging into high speed traffic the transmission grinds/rejects second gear in the manual transmission causing the car to jerk and slow down unexpectedly. I almost was in a accident due to the missed shift.

Vapor began coming in through the air vents, along with a super-sweet smell; this smell was later identified as leaking engine coolant. The front windshield quickly fogged up, beginning on the passenger side, and absolutely would not clear. Using the vehicle's defrost only increased the windshield fogging and severely decreased visibility. Fogging and visibility is worse when the weather is cool or it is raining, and the coolant smell inside the car can make you sick and give you headaches. Fog-free window treatment is ineffective. Taken to the chevrolet dealership service center, the camaro has a bad heater core - to fix this extremely hazardous issue, the camaro's windshield must be taken out along with the dash and seats just to gain access to the heater core... At a cost around $2,000 and over a week in the service center... Beware this is not covered under chevy's powertrain warranty (the heater core is excluded). This is a very common problem with newer model camaros and should be a gm recall by now. I was able to pull off the interstate before my visibility was reduced to zero... Somebody else may not be so lucky, or may not know what's going on when their windshield begins to fog.

Manual transmission occasionally seems like it will go into 2nd gear, but does not actually engage. Problem seems relatively random.
I was told last year that i had a bad transmission due to water damage to my vehicle and that they would not cover the repair because they said that i drove it through water which was not true so, i had to pay a $250.00ded out of pocket, and $3856.97 was paid by my insurance company. Not even 2 months later the same problem. The car will drive and then it will stop on you and not change into gear. The car has been in the shop about 8 times for the same problem and they can't seem to tell me what the problem is.who can i contact to help me with this issue since the manufacturer cant tell what's wrong with their own product.
After only 12,500 miles and 9 months, the clutch in my 2011 v6 camaro ls burnt out. The dealership is telling me that it looks like i drove it "aggressively." i have not, as it is my only vehicle and i obviously need it for work. They are not covering the clutch because it is 500 miles over my "wearable parts warranty." now i have sent an email complaining about the issue to chevrolet and they are sending a regional technician out to look at the car. But the fact remains that this is a common issue (check the camaro5.com forums) and should be fixed somehow.
2011 chevy camaro less than 10,000k miles.driving in traffic in maybe a 1% grade hill. Burning smell, the car wouldn't catch in 1st or 2nd gear.lost all acceleration, had to cross multiple lanes on the highway. Sat in the car for over 2 hours for towing company.then shop test drove next day, gears work, but bad burning smell continues. Shipped to chevrolet. I did research online and see multiple people have this problem.this is a safety hazard and it placed my life into danger!
Second gear grind .2011 camaro ls. Six speed transmission. Second gear grind occurs with every up shift or down shift .this occurs during acceleration and deceleration. At times car will not go into second gear at all causing concern for safety .i have contacted gm who has addressed the issue once but the repair was made with the same defective products.the issue returned after 3,000 miles.the attempted repair was.synchronizers, new first and second gears, ball bearings and forks.again after 3,000 miles the grind and second gear failure has returned and what appears to be worse then the first time.my car has not been modified and is full stock.
The passenger curtain side and driver side airbags deployed after making a sharp left hand turn out of a turnout upon trying to reenter the roadway. The tires lost traction for a brief moment and the airbags were deployed over my head on both the right and left side of the vehicle. The seatbelt pretensioners also actuated and tightened very hard. The cab was filled with white smoke and my vision was lost momentarily. I was traveling to words the roadway but managed to stop previous to entering the road. There was oncoming traffic and i was also burned and my neck very severely injured due to the nature of the violent explosion right next to my head. My left eardrum is also permanently ruptured due to this event. My vehicle was located on a mountan road in southern california highway 2. Had this happened in a corner on the actual roadway the consiquences may have been much more severe. Again nothing at all was struck during the deployment and nothing has been hit since. I took the car to the dealer that morning they gave me a loaner but still after a week had nit even looked at the car and informed me i would have to pay for the rental. Whe n i was able to get out of bed i returned to the dealer returned the car and took mine back. I contacted lawyer after l lawyer bone of which wanted to help. I was forced to go back to work as i am self employed and have no other means of supporting myself. The problem is still not fixed and my medical issues still persist.
On august 18th 2020.i was interested in buying this 2011 camarofrom ts auto sales in orlando florida.the salesman name is [xxx].i asked him if there was any extensive damage to the vehicle? he said the driver side was hit and it was replaced.i asked him if there was anything else? he said no.after i purchased the vehicle.i later found out, that he was not being truthful with me.i looked the vehicle up, and found that the air bags had been deployed.which is a major safety violation.i also asked him why the battery was being drained.he said it just need to be charged.i took the car to a steve's auto electric inclermont florida.the technician told me that the air bags needed to be replaced.at the cost of $3,500.this is a rebuild able title.you can not get this vehicle inspected if all of the repairs are not done, and you must have receipts for every part that was repaired, or replaced.this is a very unsafe vehicle.to my understanding.it's the responsibility of the dealership to make any major repairs before selling a vehicle.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Passenger seat airbag sensor chimes and says service airbag, and is off when someone sits in it or weight of some kind is put on the seat
Stationed vehicle knee too close to key ignition causing vehicle to turn off
While driving on a rural road, approx. 55 mph, twice my driver side electric seat started to move forward and up by itself. It will now only move up and forward not backward. The seat is now in a position while driving to high to see safely and forward where my foot is now pushing on the gas causing unsafe conditions. Since that day (1/18/2021) googling the internet i see a safety recall back in 2014 for this same safety issue and can happen all by itself. Can i take it in to be fixed without cost to me ?
I received a letter in the mail in 2015 regarding the adjustable seat for the passenger and driver seats. The recall involved a problem in which the seat was fallen to the lowest position. When i received the letter, i did not have any problems, but in my attempt to be responsible i took my car to the dealership. Recently i faced the problem, the lever to adjust the incline of the seat is stuck, and my seat is in its lowest position. It's inclined all the way to the back. I contacted gm and they said the repair was going to be covered through the recall, so i made an appointment and took my car to the dealership. My car was in the dealer for 1 1/2 weeks, and it was not repaired. I received a text and they said it was going to cost me $381 to repair. Then i contact the headquarters of gm and they explained my car was not going to be fixed because it was checked back in 2015 (when it worked fine). Then they said they were going to contact me in 3 business days to provide me with a coupon to lower the price of the repair. Today i received a call from another representative and she mentioned they do not offer coupons. I asked everyone for a written statement explaining why my car was not repair and they did not provide it; therefore, i please ask for your help to work through this recall and get my car repaired.fortunately, when my seat got stuck in its lower position due to the lever not working the car was stationary; however, it's unsafe to drive the car without having a seat backrest.
Passenger air bag light and alarm sounding. Passenger seat air bag sensor went bad.

The steering wheel always shakes and grinds. The brakes squeal for no reason.the engine makes a loud noise and sounds louder at running now,i hade it looked at and they said nothing is wrong there is something wrong it uses way to much gas and it makes to many noises. The engine just does not sound good and it makes a loud grounding noise.
Brake fluid leaks from master cylinder resovoir. Tsb for the 2010 models but the 2011s also do it!replaced and still leaks. Power steering has a screeching ,rubbing sound and gets hard to turn. The dealer i boughtthe car, verified the issue, but service manager and advisor who drove the car and admit there's an issue said they don't want to work on my car!very dangerous situation!
Picked up car after being in back and forth all week at lucas chevy,in nj. The car was driven less than 40 miles after they replaced the steering rack. Picked up on wed 8/8/12 after car was supposed to be done on 8/7. I had to bring the car back on 8/9/12 as the car was pulling and steering wheel off center. They never aligned the front end! i had to drop car back on 8/9/12 again that night as steering was binding and shuddering again!the dealer called me that friday 8/10 and said the pick up the car everything was fine ,it was low on fluid. When i checked the fluid on wed 8/8 the fluid was clear as power steering fluid is. When i picked the car back up on 8/10/12 i had to bring back again because p/s reservoir was soaked with fluid/i also saw they switched p/s fluid to transmission fluid!the service manager who didn't even know where the reservoir was or how to remove the engine cover wiped it clean and said have a nice day. On 8/12/12 while trying to back in driveway the steering locked and is now clunking with a metallic grind and also the brake fluid reservoir was wet with brake fluid again after cap was replaced two months ago! i also noticed they replaced both outer tie rod ends without telling me or putting it on the paperwork!the car is so dangerous it had to be towed to lucas chevrolet again!they are being dictated on what to do by gm legal as i had enough and filed a lemon law claim!its been to 3 dealers and has had a new steering column, intermediate shaft, angle sensor, srs coil, new tie rod ends and that just in the steering alone! what right is right,they did fix the clunking in the rear from the drive shaft on the first try!
1.convertible in the shop over 45 days. 2.cables from top showing on driver and passenger side above windows. 3.cable prohibits opening passenger door/makes opening driver door tough. 4.exhaust rattles incessantly. 5. Had 2 broken bows on top at 1st. 6. Original top had a hole in it. 7. New top and 2 bows replaced. New top had wear marks in various places ? when we got it back, and getting more thread bare each day. Marks were on it the day we got it back. 8. Other convertible owners state their wear went through all the way to the rivets. 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. Large gaps on the side of the top where it meets the body when it is up ? you could place your arm into the holes. Dealer fixed 2 times. 14. Spent over 2.5g lettering the car for our business, decal-deleted, detail company waxing, tinted windshield and windows. Gm corporate says they will place us in a new hard top camaro, but will not pay ttl, re-waxing, re-lettering car, decal deleting or tinting. Ok law states that ttl is indeed covered. 15. 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.
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 thatairbags depleted need replacing.
Picked up car after being in back and forth all week at lucas chevy,in nj. The car was driven less than 40 miles after they replaced the steering rack. Picked up on wed 8/8/12 after car was supposed to be done on 8/7. I had to bring the car back on 8/9/12 as the car was pulling and steering wheel off center. They never aligned the front end! i had to drop car back on 8/9/12 again that night as steering was binding and shuddering again!the dealer called me that friday 8/10 and said the pick up the car everything was fine ,it was low on fluid. When i checked the fluid on wed 8/8 the fluid was clear as power steering fluid is. When i picked the car back up on 8/10/12 i had to bring back again because p/s reservoir was soaked with fluid/i also saw they switched p/s fluid to transmission fluid!the service manager who didn't even know where the reservoir was or how to remove the engine cover wiped it clean and said have a nice day. On 8/12/12 while trying to back in driveway the steering locked and is now clunking with a metallic grind and also the brake fluid reservoir was wet with brake fluid again after cap was replaced two months ago! i also noticed they replaced both outer tie rod ends without telling me or putting it on the paperwork!the car is so dangerous it had to be towed to lucas chevrolet again!they are being dictated on what to do by gm legal as i had enough and filed a lemon law claim!its been to 3 dealers and has had a new steering column, intermediate shaft, angle sensor, srs coil, new tie rod ends and that just in the steering alone! what right is right,they did fix the clunking in the rear from the drive shaft on the first try!
Brake fluid leaks from master cylinder resovoir. Tsb for the 2010 models but the 2011s also do it!replaced and still leaks. Power steering has a screeching ,rubbing sound and gets hard to turn. The dealer i boughtthe car, verified the issue, but service manager and advisor who drove the car and admit there's an issue said they don't want to work on my car!very dangerous situation!
I own a 2011 camaro ss, i had 2 incidents , both times at a lunch break. Whilie leaving work to go home for lunch , the first incident i went to make a left turn at approx. 15mph . As i began the left turn unknowingly my car shut off power steering locked up and i slammed into curb and ended up on the landscape. The second time the exact thing but at a higher speed aprox. 45mph.at the bottom of the vincent thomas bridge heading west as i approach to bear left to gaffey st my vehicle did the same exact thing, meaning that the engine shutdown and steering wheel locked sending me into a k rail., knocking me unconscious ,the vehicle stopped 150 ft after impact. My vehicle was totaled
I started to hearing a scrubbing noise each time i turned the steering wheel. The noise has gotten louder. I called the dealership and asked if it could be related to the recall and was told no. Therefore, i took it to the dealership in greenacres, fl. After a two hour wait for testing, i was told the repair would be $1377.00. The service tech urged me to get the repair done asap before it worsens and the steering will be inoperable.
Just picked up car. It was in shop for two days. Car had a grinding and squealing in the steering. Gm technical assistance told them the disconnect shaft to see where noise was coming from. Dealer had to replace angle sensor and srs coil for the air bag. Pick up car and was like new again for about 35 mile. I was backing into drive way and heard a snap from the steering. Now the noise is back and steering iswobbly and clunking along with a strong smell of power steering fluid! i have to take it back tomorrow for their 4th attempt, next step lemon lawyer!

At 70 miles per hour the boot cover would blow off. Went to two different dealers they didnt know what to do.i was looking at one on showroom floor and figured out two bolts was missing on mine. They fixed it and give me a new boot end of that problem. The other problem when you turn steering all the way to left it makes a grinding noise. One dealer told me he couldt hear anything.the next dealer told me they all did it. The next dealer changed rear end oil.still makes noise. It sounds like the bump stop lets it go to far. If you bring the wheel back a half inch it quitsthisis my wifes car she really likes this car.

Top seal on the rack & pinion started leaking. Replaced the seal twice then replaced the rack & pinion & power steering pump. Then the return hose blew off where it attaches to the cooler. Put the hose back on with a better clamp and then the hose failed. The hose was just replaced & just waiting for the new power steering issue.
The contact owns a 2011 chevrolet camaro. While driving at 75 mph, the vehicle stalled, the signal lights flashed, and the radio and speedometer failed. Additionally, the steering wheel veered to the right independently and the vehicle jerked violently. The vehicle was able to restart and resume normal operation. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 18,000.
Hello i purchased a 2011 camaro ss in march of 2016.last year as i was going to work i stopped to show the security gaurd my twic card and as i left i only had to go 75 feet then i had to turn left.as i tried to turn left i loss all control and had no steering at all and slammed into the curb wich caused alote of damage.now in 2019 i was coming home for lunch and as i got to the bottom of the vincent thomas bridge i had to beer left to get to gaffey street and as i tried to go with the raod again i lost all control of my car and was unable to steer so i slammed into the gaurd rail and both air bags above each window were deployed and i was knocked unconious.so after i came threw i wasnt sure what had happen until i was outside of my car and realised my car did the same thing as the last accident .but this time my car is now a total loss and my insurance wants to take my car.well i dont no what to do because i have been paying 700.00 dollars a month for four years no.i am not sure even what i can do because i cant fix my car so they want to take my car and pay off the finance comp so that leaves me loosing out the 30,000 dollars i have payed already and also i loose my car all this from 2 accidents that happen because of no fault of my own.can you please tell me why my car would do the same exact defect that would make me get into to accidents and now totaling my car and thank the lord i am still alive.can you please steer me in the right direction as to what i can do please thank you very much.yes my car was in motion and both times i was making a left turn and the second time i was beering left following the bottom of the bride also in motion.
The drivers front wheel has a really funny feel when turning left it dont feel right.?my tire sencors are not working on the dash just 1 tire works and tells me the air presure since i had the car in 2017?
I saw spots of liquid on my driveway and when i checked my car's various fluid levels, the power steering fluid was so low it didn't show on the dip stick. I contacted my dealer service center and made an appointment right away. They discovered that the inner seal on the steering gear had failed. It was not due to an accident, collision, hitting a pothole or anything caused by me. This was a factory failure and a problem that is very rare on cars with mileage that low (so i was told). The car was just over 5000 miles outside its factory warranty and the repair cost me $1034.07. Fortunately, the power steering pump was not damaged from being completely out of fluid or the repair would have been even more costly. The most disturbing thing is that i had absolutely no warning of this problem at all. It was a sudden and complete failure.

Vehicle was purchased not knowing there was a problem with the convertible tops. Top started coming in a whole so took to dealership and would not fix. Filed a complaint with gm they put a new top on it then had to have new frame because it was bent picked up last week and now top has pulled away from windows after top had been on car less than a week. If we were to be in a wreck back passenger's arm could go out opening and be cut off. Gm needs to be made to purchase these cars back before someone gets killed, have material where people have posted these tops coming completely off cars going down the road once they separate from windows as mine have. I am scared to drive my car and it has stayed in the shop more than i have got to drive it. Back floor board is wet from water pouring in where opening is and it sounds like a train is coming through you car their so much wind noise.

After having been replaced under warranty, the convertible top suddenly came a lose at the mounting points behind the side windows.it was as if a parachute, or a drag chute opened.this startled the driver into steering sharply towards the shoulder, causing the car to spin out and resulted in a neck pain in the driver.
I was going to work as i came down the off ramp i lost all power and hit a pole there was massive damage to the front end and to the engine also i never received a recall notice i did not find out about the recall until i looked up on the internet what may have happened also my air bags never deployed.
Within only one month convertible top had to be replaced. After 6 months another hole is developing on the convertible top due to chaffing from the frame assembly when down. It looks like the frame assembly is causing the damage to the convertible top. Gm has changed the first top but has put the second top in a status of awaiting engineering. Top is still not changed. Almost 4000 miles on car now.
The contact owns a 2011 chevrolet camaro convertible. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph within cross winds, the convertible top cover, which was referred to as a tonneau, detached from the vehicle.

1.convertible in the shop over 45 days. 2.cables from top showing on driver and passenger side above windows. 3.cable prohibits opening passenger door/makes opening driver door tough. 4.exhaust rattles incessantly. 5. Had 2 broken bows on top at 1st. 6. Original top had a hole in it. 7. New top and 2 bows replaced. New top had wear marks in various places ? when we got it back, and getting more thread bare each day. Marks were on it the day we got it back. 8. Other convertible owners state their wear went through all the way to the rivets. 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. Large gaps on the side of the top where it meets the body when it is up ? you could place your arm into the holes. Dealer fixed 2 times. 14. Spent over 2.5g lettering the car for our business, decal-deleted, detail company waxing, tinted windshield and windows. Gm corporate says they will place us in a new hard top camaro, but will not pay ttl, re-waxing, re-lettering car, decal deleting or tinting. Ok law states that ttl is indeed covered. 15. 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.

As i search the web for my hvac problem and learn there is a defect with hvac blen doors. Either your vehicle is extremely cold or hot or possibly hot on one side and cold on the other. The uncontrolled heat can put you to sleep behind the wheel on driving trip.i believe gm is aware of the problem but refuse to recall. This not a normal wear and tear part. There our thousands ofcamaro owners with this problem and the dealership is charging up to 3000.00 to repair. Hope you can help!!!!!!
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.
Summer tires come standard with vehicle. Temperature 38 degrees tires loose all handling capabilities. Numerous other camaro owners have lodged complaints and can be found on internet. These tires are dangerous.
The tires on my 2011 chevy camaro (and other models) are perelli p-zero tires which are "summer" tires as indicated by the manufacturers.these tires are not recommended for near freezing temps.the auto manufacturer failed to inform me the tires (which are stock) are only recommended for warm weather.i believe the manufacturer has not informed most customers of the situation.my research indicates these tires exhibit more problems with handling in cold temps as tire wear increases. The manufacturer of the auto has indicated to me that their engineers are confident these tires are safe, but the tire manufacturer continues to recommend against using these tires in near freezing temps.as most of the continental usa is exposed to near freezing and below freezing temps, i am concerned these tires will result in crashes which could be avoided if the auto manufacturer provided proper tires for our climate. This is a problem which may go unnoticed as most accidents go un-investigated or an investigator will not consider the temps were near or below freezing at the time of the accident.
I had just purchased this camaro in february, not knowing that these tires were not to be used in cold weather. We had some very cold weather in the last part of february and i decided to take the camaro to work. When i entered the paved road it started to spin the tires on the pavement. There was no moisture on the roads and no reason to loose traction. When i got home i researched this problem on line and found out about the tires being warm weather tires only. I think chevrolet should replace the tires with all weather tires.ps tires were not listed i had to use unknown or other to be able to use this site. Thanks
The airbag need service alert came on while my husband was driving and i on the passenger side. The next morning i called ivory chevrolet and was told the earliest i could be seen was monday @ 8:30am ,because they only had one person that could fix the problem. I arrived @ 7:45am. At 9:00am i was asked, what's my issue and at 11:00 i asked why it was taking so long for a diagnostic and was told someone will check. Guy approach me @ 12:00 and advice me that they reset the sensor and to keep my purse out of the car seat. Three days later the airbag alert & tire alert came on. Onstar system do not show data for the front passenger side tire. I spoke with a serviceman @ ivory and was told to come back in. I really don't understand why there isn't a recall on this issue and request an explanation.
I was told last year that i had a bad transmission due to water damage to my vehicle and that they would not cover the repair because they said that i drove it through water which was not true so, i had to pay a $250.00ded out of pocket, and $3856.97 was paid by my insurance company. Not even 2 months later the same problem. The car will drive and then it will stop on you and not change into gear. The car has been in the shop about 8 times for the same problem and they can't seem to tell me what the problem is.who can i contact to help me with this issue since the manufacturer cant tell what's wrong with their own product.
The steering wheel always shakes and grinds. The brakes squeal for no reason.the engine makes a loud noise and sounds louder at running now,i hade it looked at and they said nothing is wrong there is something wrong it uses way to much gas and it makes to many noises. The engine just does not sound good and it makes a loud grounding noise.
Heater core went out in my car with 12167 miles. The car is stored in the garage every winter and not driven. I called customer care for chevrolet and did not get any where. With the mileage being so low i'm concern the part is faulty or put in my car wrong. Please help me this is not right.
Left work to grab dinner with a coworker who rode in the passenger front seat. After going into pick up our dinner my coworker noticed fluid on my passenger side front floor mat. I drove back to work and checked the fluid on the mat and it was coolant (dexcool). Drove home and checked the mat again and there was more fluid. I used a mirror and flashlight to look under the dash inboard of the glove box and with the heat on and fan running found fluid leaking from the plastic pan under the heater core.
The drivers front wheel has a really funny feel when turning left it dont feel right.?my tire sencors are not working on the dash just 1 tire works and tells me the air presure since i had the car in 2017?

I took the car to nash chevrolet in lawrenceville, ga for the recall work on the fob (#14294).they performed the work according to the gm process.the result is unacceptable.now i have a hole where the key was which is susceptible to dirt andwater. See attached picture. The dealer will not correct and defers to the gm.gm will not correct.you initiated the corrective work and must have approved the process.you all ought to be ashamed of yourselves!i've seen on the internet a replacement plastic "cover" that could be inserted but was never offered the solution.the fee was rumored to be $46.again, you all ought to be ashamed of yourselves!don't you think a small circuit board open to the environments is just as dangerous not to mention aesthetically unpleasing?at a minimum, i am requesting the appropriate corrective action to be taken and the nhtsa re-open the case and investigate!
Air bag sensor is always coming on and dings every few minutes....whether or not there is someone in the passenger seat or not, whether its in drive or in park, when it goes off, i turn the switch to disregard the notification and it comes on every few minutes....also, the evaporator core kit needs replaced, which is about $2000 and 20 hours of labor due to having to remove windsheild. Heater and defrost work fine but ac will not cool, smells funny inside the car and makes noise when you try to turn on a/c. Thankfully its fall.. No recalls but found lots of complaints on the a/c and 2011 chevrolet camaros. The a/c started slowly getting less and less cool each day then the last day before it quit, the driver side wouldnt cool at all but the passenger side would. Put in refrigerant and it cooled for a couple more days then just quit cooling. 75,000 miles, had it 5 years 1 month, no warranty. Dont want to pay that much to cool my car, will not purchase another camaro! not happy.
Code u0100vehicle shows reduced power and stops while driving and will not restart. Also say service stabiltrak have heard that a lot of gm vehicles experience the same problem. Very dangerous because the vehicles can just shut down at anytime.
I have got alot of sensors going out at one time .now the car is over heating and fans and fuilds are good . Nothing is showing on a computer for a code!

When shifting the vehicle from 1st gear to second gear, the vehicle makes a grinding noise and struggles to go into gear. It seems to happen more often when trying to shift it when it is at a higher gear. All the other gears seem to never have a problem shifting.

Throttle body positioner is bad after barely over 3 years of use.was reducing speed from 55 to 0, after coming off a highway approaching a stop light, and while in neutral "engine power is reduced" warning displayed on screen, vehicle began idling irregularly (bouncing between 800 and 1100 rpms) and then when the light turned green the car would not accelerate.was able to limp at about 20 mph until i reached a parking lot, turned the car off and waited a few minutes, restarted and it was fine again.problem has occurred on 3 separate occasions recently, gm mechanic said throttle body positioner was determined to be at fault.should not be any faults after 3 years and 40k unless the part itself is faulty.
Approaching a three-way intersection with a stop sign with intent to stop and turn right.vehicle suddenly accelerated without accelerator input from driver.driver was unable to brake/stop vehicle or effectively control steering/path of travel.vehicle, according to state patrol, gains an estimated speed of 65 mph through intersection and collides with embankment/mountain hillside.at this time, car became airborne to an estimated height of 28' and landed on front driver side of vehicle first.front airbags failed to deploy upon impact.driver sustained a serious tbi(traumatic brain injury) & concussion due to blunt force trauma to the head due to lack of airbag deployment.owner still continues to suffer from side effects of the tbi injury and wants to notify the public that life-threatening issues exist with this vehicle.to date, gm has issued two major recalls on this vehicle pertaining to what lead/caused the accident.

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.
Front driver's side windshield has distortion in line of sight.had new manufacturer's part installed and 2nd windshield has same issue.it causes dizziness and is very distracting.

My car began to over heat causing my vehicle to suddenly lose power. Also caused fogged windshield .. The heater core on the camaro from 2010 - 2013are having malfunctions causing the car to overheat and or spill boiling liquid onto your passengers feet, if you were to have a passenger start to scream when this burning liquid were to hit their feet while wearing high heels or sandals you can easily get distracted and lose control of you vehicle from just someone screaming out of now where, there are countless stories on the camaro forum about these heater cores going bad.. Others experience counting fogged windshield which could cause a visibility issue and cause an accident and a vehicle breakdown causing a accident if you break down in heavy traffic... My camaro is at the dealer now getting diagnosed . But this issue has not been addressed as a recall and should be..
Vapor began coming in through the air vents, along with a super-sweet smell; this smell was later identified as leaking engine coolant. The front windshield quickly fogged up, beginning on the passenger side, and absolutely would not clear. Using the vehicle's defrost only increased the windshield fogging and severely decreased visibility. Fogging and visibility is worse when the weather is cool or it is raining, and the coolant smell inside the car can make you sick and give you headaches. Fog-free window treatment is ineffective. Taken to the chevrolet dealership service center, the camaro has a bad heater core - to fix this extremely hazardous issue, the camaro's windshield must be taken out along with the dash and seats just to gain access to the heater core... At a cost around $2,000 and over a week in the service center... Beware this is not covered under chevy's powertrain warranty (the heater core is excluded). This is a very common problem with newer model camaros and should be a gm recall by now. I was able to pull off the interstate before my visibility was reduced to zero... Somebody else may not be so lucky, or may not know what's going on when their windshield begins to fog.
On the 2010-2014 camaro there is a major problemwith the hvac blend/valve door.the electric actuator connects to the defective blend/valve door it appears to be made of abs or some type of plastic. The main concern is that in cold or rainy weather the front defrost will not work allowing windshield to fog up obstructing the view where there is no visibility while driving. This is a serious and dangerous problem to the motorist. This not a normal wear part. Chevrolet has not offered any type of warranty to repair the defective product but will charge $2700.00- $3500 to replace a $14.00 part. This caught me of guard a couple of times in rainy weather i had to use passenger side door window and mirror to pull off the highway.
The contact owns a 2011 chevrolet camaro. While driving various speeds, there was an odor of coolant inside the vehicle. The contact stated that the heater core failed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000.
Front driver's side windshield has distortion in line of sight.had new manufacturer's part installed and 2nd windshield has same issue.it causes dizziness and is very distracting.
I was turning right while driving the vehicle and then by mistake the back right tire and wheel hit the curve and that made a little damage to the wheel and the wheel is little bit diagonal. Worst case scenario the bearings is broken. My complaint is why would the airbags deploy that moment while the impact is only on the wheel? also my friend was sitting on the passenger seat and after the airbag deployed the powder that comes out from it got on his skin and he got burned from it, since that is a very dangerous and can cause burns if it gets on unprotected skin, and it can severely irritate the lungs if inhaled. The main point is the airbag shouldn't deploy in a small damage as this, i have said that because i experienced it with 2010 s600 mercedes benz, the damage was way way worse then the one on the camaro. The damage on the s600 was to wheels broken and the body got effected and the accident was very similar to the camaro and the airbag on the s600 didn't deploy and mercedes have better quality and more safety then chevrolet. I went to the royal chevrolet in west broad street richmond, virginia. They didn't treat me well they were talking to me as child they didn't even inspect the car they just the airbags did what it suppose to do that was by the service manager. I told him the damage was very minor and the deployment of the airbag shouldn't happen he didn't even say anything he was trying to flip the whole thing on me. He told i have nothing to do go call gm.
When driving down northwest expressway, my camaro hit many potholes and uneven lanes causing my rims to be bent and causing flat tire. Car was going speed limit of 45 and hit a huge pothole and it sounded very bad. Parked my vehicle at work and tire was flat and rim was bent in 3 different places.
Summer tires come standard with vehicle. Temperature 38 degrees tires loose all handling capabilities. Numerous other camaro owners have lodged complaints and can be found on internet. These tires are dangerous.
My issue is with the stock tires!in cooler weather, appr. 40 degrees f, the rear stock pirelli tires lost grip completely causing the vehicle to spin out of control.these tires are a huge hazard in cooler weather and should not be on any car, period!
