general problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro

Air bags.

I'm a owner of a 2011 Chevrolet aveo . 65,000 miles. I only had this car for about 15 months I have change out tires twice since I had it , I got my car fixed on 4 times already one being spark plugs , the container that holds the antifreeze replace, the brakes, and also the part that holds the oil that is removed during oil change metal was stripped when I went for my first oil change and I had to get that replaced. . . It slows down going up a heel and also when turning left or right especially on a heel. Just the other day I was driving up a heel and my brakes wouldn't push down my car had a electrical glitch that made my clock restart . . . Also there is a weird noise my car has been make from day 1 when I start driving it sounds like I'm driving a small helicopter that's about to take off I've been told that it was how those cars sound . . . . . Idk what to believe I hate I ever got this car the dealer dont even want the car back they only offered me 2,500 for the car I paid 11,000 for. I was told its not in high demand no one wants the car. . . .

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.

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!.

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 gaurd 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 that that airbags depleted need replacing.

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 flys 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.
