Design flaw. E-brake dragging constantly which eventually warps the rotor and if left alone makes a horrible clunking noise that almost sounds like your differential spit a tooth. A little difficult to explain exactly what's happening but find it hard to believe chevrolet hasn't figured it out. Yes, of course they have! It's just that hundreds of people haven't died.

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.

Purchased a 2000 chevy. Camaro with only 50k miles two months ago. Three weeks ago I was finding that it would not start right away when hot and my gas gauge is not working. If the car was left overnight, in the morning it would start fine. The cause is a bad fuel pump, it loses pressure when hot but here is the real problem. The pump and sending unit is in the gas tank and I have to replace it with a gm unit, after market would be stupid and as you read on you will understand why. The fuel pump is $795.00, the exhaust system and the rear axle/suspension needs to come off to take the tank out. This is 5 hours of work according to my mechanic. It is going to cost over $1,100.00 to change this pump. There is no sane reason why a fuel pump should fail with only 50k miles on the car the car has never been abused, fact is that the original owner only drove it once a month and he is 58 years old so he does not abuse a car.

The catalytic converter has failed on the vehicle. The car failed emissions testing. Found out the warranty was 8 years/80,000 miles, so took the car to the dealer to diagnosis. Vehicle has 21,000 miles on it and gm refused to pay for the repair because they said the converter was "rusted". Vehicle is 8 years old and only driven less than 3,000 miles annually and stored for 6 months out of the year. The problem with the converter has nothing to do with rust, the baffles are breaking up inside. Gm refuses to offer any assistance. Very costly repair, part alone is $750.00 and that does include any labor.

The vehicles check engine light came on. The catalytic converter failed per the diagnostic check at the dealership. The catalytic converter is covered by special 10 year or 120,000 mile warranty. The dealership says the good oxygen sensor is probably seized and it will break due to age when they replace the catalytic converter. They want us to pay $208 for a new oxygen sensor.
