1 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 01/16/2023

Car has new engine and transmission everything is new and well maintained, p2138 pops up throttle quits working causing me to almost wreck into another vehicle, I was stuck in traffic 1 hour waiting for a tow truck, 7 shops have worked on the issue and replaced every part including all the technical service bulletins provided here on the site and car is still doing the same thing. The electric system in the car is prone to these issue as is the ecm . Now it's either sell the car to someone with it being unsafe or spend another couple grand hoping to get it repaired. Chevys drive by wire system is a known issue with these cars yet no recall, why, why not recall and repair the issue or is our safety not a issue.

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.

5 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2015

I have a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro with a 3. 6 engine. The timing chains on this motor are known to 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. Steven kaldor.

8 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 01/28/2015

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!.

10 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

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 vehcile 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.

12 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 02/19/2012

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.
