Check Engine Light On problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro

I have the 2010 Camaro v6, with only 67,700 miles. Like too many others, the check engine light came on and it gave a p0008 error code for premature timing chain wear. Why hasn't gm issued a recall for the Camaro with this engine when they've issued a recall for nearly all other vehicles with this engine?!? I should not be facing an estimate of over $2,000 to replace the timing chain with only 67,200 miles!.

Vehicle has had a code of p008 intermittently then permanently since 68000 miles, it is now at 99,500 miles. The code relates to timing chain stretching which is causing engine misfire. Same problem with identical engine has been addressed in form of warranty extension for several vehicles, including Cadillac cts, extending warranty to 10 years or 120k miles. This has not been done for the Camaro for reasons which elude me. Occasional problems with stalling and reduced power (especially in situations requiring the additional power), as well as engine "roughness" certainly cause safety concerns for me. In addition, the problem with the passenger safety bag seat pad sensor has been ongoing and is also not recalled, although the system keeps passenger airbag off in the presence of a passenger due to a short in the pad, also well-documented and clearly a safety hazard. The interior lighting system is simply a nuisance and not a safety concern at this time. The cost of repairs is staggering, and I've never seen an instance where a timing chain needed to be replaced during the expected operating period of a vehicle with normal use. Clearly it is a design flaw which needs to be addressed, as it has been with other vehicles utilizing this engine. The number of instances which go unreported and simply get repaired at the owner's expense is also quite significant, according to the research I have done. Please note that this problem started intermittently in late 2016 and has become a continual problem as of this writing. The check engine light is always on at this point, with the p008 code.

Engine light illuminated with p0008 obd-ii trouble code: engine positions system performance bank 1. Twice was told by dealership it was an oil issue even though no oil change alerts came on and check engine light kept coming back after service (occasionally intermittent). Mpg was negatively impacted during regular operation and occasional rough idling at stoplights. At 77,000 miles (and just past the 7 years covered by extended warranty), was finally told this was a timing chain issue and $1,700 to fix (of course not covered). Research on stretched timing chain from p0008 error for Camaros indicated many others with issue and extended warranty up to 10 years/120,000 miles issued by gm for other vehicle models using same engine. Bulletin/warranty should be extended to affected 2010 Camaros.

Check engine light came on. Car was in motion. Took to dealer for diagnosis: need to replace the timing chain on a car with 44000 miles on it. Car usually sits in winter. All maintenance has been performed by the dealer. Ordered the car and purchased it to keep it. Always hand washed. It is the v-6 engine and I understand that they will only repair this engine on cadillacs & some Saturn models. It is the same engine used in various vehicles. I feel that this is very premature. I have never had to replace a timing chain. I understand that the gears are plastic and the chain is metal. I do not feel that this should be a cost to me as this is designed to fail. Im sure I am not the only one this has happened to.

Timing chain. Took car to dealership to diagnose check engine light. Revealed code p0008 which was later found to be an issue with a stretched timing chain. Vehicle had just over 50,000 miles and even the dealer admitted it should not have had this issue. After research, discovered that the same engine used in the 2010 llt Camaro was used in other gm vehicles---but those vehicles had power train warranties extended to 10 year/120,000 miles to help cover this potential issue. This was not done for the Camaro, so I was forced to pay nearly $1400 to repair my car since the warranty had expired. Why was the warranty not extended on the Camaro which uses the same engine as those other gm vehicles??.

Obd code p0049 - evap canister purge valve: replaced twice already. Needs to be replaced again at 113,000 miles. Odb code p008: timing chain issue. Replace at 48,000 miles. Needs replacement again at 113,000 miles. No signs of malfunction other than check engine light on. Fails to pass massachusetts annual inspection due to obd codes present.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that while driving, the interior lights in the vehicle flickered. In addition, the front headlamps also flickered. The contact also stated that the check engine warning light remained illuminated while driving which caused the vehicle to drive rough. The vehicle was taken to simpson Chevrolet located at 10150 trask Ave, garden grove, CA 92843, and the ecu was reset however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 37,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. While accelerating at low speeds, the vehicle barely accelerated and the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the metal timing chain damaged the plastic timing gears. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 76,000.

Check engine light code p0008 & p0017. Dealer diagnosed needs timing chains on 3. 6 v6. Milage 52,724 cost approx $3,000. Not covered under warranty. Other gm models with 3. 6 v6 engines covered 10 years 120,000 miles under customer satisfaction program 10287. Camaro not included. Needs to be included in recall.

Tamara recall. The air bag light is on check engine light is on the ac is on and off.

I have had check engine light on in the vehicle several times, codes p0008 and p0017 timing chain. The vehicle was taken to several chevy dealerships for diagnosis per gm and chevy, both times they stated the timing chain should be replaced. The first time the Camaro was still under warranty the carmaro lost power and began to shake, I pulled over put the car in park and noticed a weird idle and shake. I was told after contacting gm and chevy that they are aware of the problem and need has to meet a certain number of complaints before they can include the 2010-14 Camaro into the timing chain recall and extended warranty for 10 years and 100,000 miles. As they have for other vehicles with the same timing chain problem. This is not right, my vehicle has being parked for 1 year since this started.

The check engine light illuminated. Read the code and it comes up p008. This code is for the timing chain. In doing research on this issue there seems to be numerous complaints regarding this problem. Found out that gm has extended the warranty for this engine issue where it is used in other gm vehicles but not for the Camaro. I don't understand why the Camaro isn't included when it has the same engine as the other gm vehicles. These other vehicle warranties are extended under customer satisfaction program 10287. The cel would come on and then go off over the course of a couple weeks. Finally it just stayed on.

This Camaro has been in our family since August 2011, as a daily driver for my wife, purchased from a gm certified used dealer. Leaving the parking lot from a trip to walmart today, not even going 10mph, the vehicle begins to slow down stating "engine power is reduced", with both the check engine light on and the stability trac light on. We were able to limp home under 40mph. Nothing is noticeably wrong, but now the car runs on a rough idle, it's sitting stationary for now. Doing research, I have found this is a common problem with ls3's, mostly having to do with the throttle body itself or accompanying sensors. I'm going to change to throttle body and go from there. My major concern is that why isn't this problem a recall worthy issue. It seems to be a major problem with 2010 Camaro's, and many other gm vehicles of the same year with a v8 engine not necessarily the ls3. Why does it take loss of life for gm to fix a major consistent problem. I am really losing faith in this company and it's products. Our 2010 Camaro ss should not be the vehicle sitting in our driveway broken down over a 2001 Camaro ss and a 2002 s10 truck. What is happening to the quality of gm vehicles these days? if they stand by their product, then they need own up to its shortcomings.
