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.
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.
