general problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro

All factory maintenance was completed at a factory service provider, on or before recommended time/mileage. At 58k+/- miles driving at approximately 35mph engine suffered catastrophic failure due to timing chain failure, causing engine to seize, car lost all power steering, power brakes while entering a turn resulting in nearly running over pedestrians otherwise walking safely on the side of the street. Gm has recalled other vehicles with same engine but not the v6 Camaro for a timing chain failure.

P008 code. Timing chain issues. If this fails and the engine seizes while driving,all of us Camaro owners could be in accidents. Death could even occured. I bought my 2010 Camaro February of 2016. I'm am the 2nd owner and only put 66k miles on the engine. 85% to and from work. I've replaced everything possible to get rid of the p008 code but it's still there. You have recalled other vehicles with this issue why not us Camaro owners? please help is!.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. While driving various speeds, the vehicle inadvertently shifted into first gear.

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,000.

Well when I shift from 1st to 2nd gear it won't go into 2nd and seems to lock out of all gears. Have to stop complete and retry to take off. Please help.

The engine light went on and it was brought in for service. I was told the code p0008 meant that it had a stretched timing chain which would need to be replaced and is a very expensive repair. I recently found out that this is very common in other chevy engines and the power train warrantee was extended to cover these repairs in other engines, but not my Camaro. I currently only have 73k miles and would like to see chevy fix the issue as it has been done with the other gm cars.

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.

Car has 46500 miles and is stored winters. Code p0008 timing chain. Nice to know all other 4. 6 liter engines were applied the extended warranty except the Camaro. Now I have to contend with the dealer in hopes they will repair under the goodwill act. I bet I still have to pay. Way to go gm.

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.

P0008 & p0017 engine code on 3. 6 v 6 diagnosed by dealer to be stretched timing chains. 52,724 miles cost to fix $3000. Other gm vehicles with the same engine extended warranty of 10 years 120,000 miles. Camaro needs to be included in recall.

Engine check light came on and I took the car to pine belt chevy in lakewood, NJ. Engine code p0008 & p0017 for camshaft position correlation on 3. 6 v6 engine. Vehicle diagnosed as needing timing chains. Car only has 52,721 miles on it. Estimated cost to repair $3,000. Research indicates that gm has a recall on many different makes and models for timing chain failure with the 3. 6 v 6 engine with the same timing chain part numbers. Gm has extended the warranty to 10 years and 120,000 miles on the affected makes and models on all vehicles except the Camaro. Gm bulliten 10287. Gm needs to step up and include the Camaro to its timing chain recall.

Tl-the contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50 mph, the vehicle will not shift into third or forth gear without warning. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 14,000. Sg.

The vehicle displayed a trouble code on the dash. I took it in to get a reading for the code and it appears to be a p0008 error code. After searching, it seems this code is relating to the timing chains within the engine becoming stretched. It also seems that a lot of owners are seeing this error with their own vehicles and dealer is charging anywhere from 2 to 3k to get the issue resolved. To quote another complaint that I saw regarding the same issue: " when is gm going to address the problem of the timing chains on the Camaro as it has the other models that have the same problem. It is ridiculous for gm to expect the buyer to come out of pocket for a problem that is a known manufacturer problem and not caused due to anything done by the buyer. ".

2010 Camaro rs, v6 manual transmission: passed a car and tried to shift down but the clutch would not shift the car down to 5th. Tried clutch again and all it would do was move around and never catch. Same with the stick shift. It would not go into any speed. It was like the clutch, would move around from 1st - 6th like this was a toy I was trying to shift. Also, I could not brake the car with the regular brake or emergency brake. While this was going on my car was increasing in speed and the motor revved to the point I thought was going to explode. The only way I could stop it was to turn the car off. When I did this l lost steering and headlights. Coasted to a stop finally. Had onstar run a diagnostic on all the car and they said everything was showing up ok. Talked to roadside and they said what I was describing was a burned clutch. The car smelled like it was on fire. Took it to a gm dealer and they said I needed a new clutch and flywheel for $2400. I have to pay big dollars for a repair that almost killed me, and now I find out this is a common problem. Come on gm you got lucky with me or you could of had another fatality.

My car will not downshift into 2nd gear from any speed. My car will also not up-shift from 1st gear to 2nd gear at high rpm's.

Vehicle will intermittently, not go into second gear, and has almost caused me to be rear ended about 4 times now. Vehicle is a standard v6 and has intermittent gear clash going into gears. Wife will not even drive vehicle now cause of this. I had sent an e-mail to you on this already, but want to make sure you got it as I have three other friends that traded in their v6 manual transmission Camaro cause of this. All because gm, fails to address the issue they already know of issues from us v6 Camaro owners complaining. My two dealers have been great, but only so much they can do unless gm addresses this issue. If gm, fails to address,their issue with this transmission, I will see a lawyer about this and go after them, it has become a big safety issue now in traffic. P. S. Vehicle has what gm call transmission a ay6 transmission, that they put in the v6 Camaro with manual transmission.

2010 v6 Camaro 6-speed manual trans grinds when shifting into 2nd gear while merging into highway traffic at higher rpms. Thought it was driver error until researching the problem. Turns out many people are having the same issue and it is said to be that the stock brass synchros in the manual transmissions are at fault.
