2 Clutch Pedal/linkage problem of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro

Failure Date: 09/01/2014

Clutch pedal stayed low to the floor intermittently and stays low durning hard acceleration for a stop and during a shift. The 9/1/2014 incident I was on the interstate going 70 mph and down shifted for exiting. The clutch stayed to the floor as I came to a stop and would not return. Car was turned off and restarted. Clutch still did not return to operating position. I had to speed shift the vehicle to drive it to a dealer for repair. Repair was not covered by the warranty and has not been recalled. I believe this is a manufacturing defect and a safety issue. If a driver panicked in this situation it could have resulted in injury to the driver and passengers in the car and possibly other travelers.

6 Clutch Pedal/linkage problem of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro

Failure Date: 09/21/2010

The ay6 manual transmission is missing and grinding while attempting to shift into the second gear during engine operation above 5500 rpm. With the clutch pedal fully depressed shifting from first to second gear accommodates a violent grinding sound originating from the transmission area. The transmission does not have grinding/hesitation or missed shifting into any other gear, except the second gear. A vast majority of manual transmission v6 owners have been reporting the same issue. Some owners have gotten their transmissions replaced by gm only to have the same problem reoccur. This is a major safety issue as any missed shifts may lead to a serious accident.

7 Clutch Pedal/linkage problem of the 2000 Chevrolet Camaro

Failure Date: 07/15/2008

The clutch pedal return spring on my 2000 Camaro ss broke two years ago. I purchased another one from a local gm dealer. I could not believe the spring was so expensive. ($70. 00). I installed the spring my self in 2006 and two years later 2008 the spring broke again. I only drive the car in the summer months. (26,000 kilometers). I do not abuse the car in any way. I believe this is a design defect. I think that a clutch pedal return spring should last longer than two years at $70 a pop.
