Strange smell coming from AC for a while. 2 weeks ago AC stopped working completely. Took it to mechanic told me it was the evaporator core. He replaced it and it was very expensive and tedious job. Read some forum and other were complaining about the same smell and eventually the same problem. A car with only 60,000 miles should not have this problem.
2010 Chevrolet Camaro engine complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 84 of 84, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I took my car into a chevrolet dealership immediately after I noticed my engine started to make noises. A couple of hours later, I got a call from the dealership and they told me there was engine damage. The service employee asked me why I waited so long to change the oil in the car. I told him that I waited for the car oil life system (ols) to alert me to change the oil, and that it doesn't alert me until 8,000 to 10,000 miles. He told me that I shouldn't wait that long, and he recommended to change the oil after 4,000 to 5,000 miles. I told him that gm needs to fix the (ols) to alert consumers sooner to change the oil. After I got off the phone, I did a google search and learned that there was a recall on the 2010-2012 chevrolet equinox with a four-cylinder engine, and it will get its (ols) monitor recalibrated to shorten the interval between oil changes. So I think gm need to expand the recall to cover all models that have this problem. The dealership never recalibrated my (ols) system, and told me to just bring it in sooner for oil changes.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. While driving approximately 65 MPH, the engine power reduced message displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle would not exceed 20 MPH. The dealer stated that the throttle body induction needed to be cleaned and the induction kit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 71,523.
I have taken this vehicle in several times for loss of power while driving on the freeway. In addition to the vehicle losing power, reduced speed vehicle dropped from 60 MPH to 25mph. The first time the dealership stated the vehicles computer had 5 error messages & just needed to be reset. The second time occurred a couple of months later. I addressed the manufacturer & dealership manager...they said nothing could be done. They reset the computer again, after the 3rd incident almost caused me to have an accident the dealership provided me a rental & thoroughly inspected the vehicle to diagnose the issues. The vehicle was also making a grinding noise between 20-30mph between 2nd & 3rd gear. The vehicle has only been serviced by an authorized gm dealership since I purchased it. This time the service manager said the catalytic converter was the main culprit, however the vehicle was almost entirely void of oil....this was in between the manufacturer recommended oil change interval- apprx had driven in 4700 miles the grinding noise was said to be due to lack of oil but no oil leak was detected. I researched this issue in several auto forums & discovered that the high output 3.6 liter v6 engines had a known problem for burning oil & causing the engine to wear & breakdown prematurely. Dealer advised me that I would need to take the vehicle in every 1000 miles to check how quickly the oil was burning in between oil changes. They confirmed that if indeed it was burning oil they would replace the engine under warranty. I believe this to be very dangerous, loss of power at highway speeds multiple times is very alarming & was not taken seriously by gm customer support - dealership service advisor was more helpful than the manager.
This camaro has been in our family since august 2011, as a daily driver for my wife, purchased from a gm certified used dealer. Leaving the parking lot from a trip to walmart today, not even going 10mph, the vehicle begins to slow down stating "engine power is reduced", with both the check engine light on and the stability trac light on. We were able to limp home under 40mph. Nothing is noticeably wrong, but now the car runs on a rough idle, it's sitting stationary for now. Doing research, I have found this is a common problem with ls3's, mostly having to do with the throttle body itself or accompanying sensors. I'm going to change to throttle body and go from there. My major concern is that why isn't this problem a recall worthy issue. It seems to be a major problem with 2010 camaro's, and many other gm vehicles of the same year with a v8 engine not necessarily the ls3. Why does it take loss of life for gm to fix a major consistent problem. I am really losing faith in this company and it's products. Our 2010 camaro ss should not be the vehicle sitting in our driveway broken down over a 2001 camaro ss and a 2002 s10 truck. What is happening to the quality of gm vehicles these days? If they stand by their product, then they need own up to its shortcomings.
My husband and I was out and waiting to pull into a parking space and the car just shut down, without any warning and after the fact that it shut down it gave a message of "reduced engine power". He continuously tried to start the car back up with no luck. We contacted onstar who stated that the car needed to be on for them to give a diagnostics. We waited for about an hour and the car started back up but the engine light was on. The following monday my husband took the car to the dealer and they stated they did this and that. Keep in mind the car is rarely driven, and two days after we received the car back it shut down again. Back to the shop it went, again they told us different things were done to the car. To keep a long story short the car has been to the shop 4 times with the same problem. The last time we were on the interstate moving with traffic and it shut down again. I found this to be very disturbing because if a 18-wheeler or another car was close enough to knock the car off the interstate, I probably wouldn't be making this complaint. I have never seen in my life a car that gives no warning until it is off and while you are driving in the midst of traffic. The car is a nice car on the outside but under the hood it is horrible. As I type this complaint the car is in the shop again with different excuses. I hope they can get to the bottom of the problem because I would really hate for there to be any more fatalities reported especially mine or one of my family members. I just want the problem to be corrected and not anymore running around about the problem. I am on my last leg of having any faith in gm.
I purchased my 2010 chevy camaro 2ss, in february of 2012. It had 4,400 miles on it. About a month or two, after I bought it, it completely shut off on me, on a major highway, while doing 65 MPH. I threw it into neutral and turned the key and it started right back up. About a month after that, I was doing about 20mph on a back road and it did the same exact thing. Just recently, about 2 weeks ago, I was in 6th gear, on cruise doing 60mph and I felt the car "jerk" or buck" a little bit. Followed immediately by the car decelerating. I down-shifted to 4th gear and was giving it gas, but still wouldn't speed up. It fell down to about 40mph, before finally catching itself and speeding back up. About a mile later, I got off my exit and was coming down to the stop sign,when all the indicator lights came on for about 10 seconds. They went off and I made a left hand turn and went about a mile up the road. At that point, the car completely shut off doing about 35mph. There was heavy traffic, so I pulled over and started it back up. I called the chevy dealership, where I bought it from, and they had no openings for a week. So I took it last week to get it checked and they found nothing that could have caused it, they say. I am very upset, but very thankful that my two children were not with me when it happened. I am currently contemplating trading it in, cuz I am worried that if it happens again,and my children are in the car, that it might shut off in very congested bumper to bumper traffic, on the highway at night, and a tractor trailer is behind me and I can't get it started or someone doesn't see me cuz my lights would be off. The thought of that completely scares me.
My 2010 chevy camaro 2lt in 37,000 miles the front right brake caliper got stuck and ate up my rotor and pad. In 40,000 miles it broke a valve spring. Ever since they say they fixed it, it still runs like crap loss of power, and still misses but dealer says its fine and from day one everytime I go over a bump at any speed it sounds like glass is shattering and it comes from the front suspension. Its sad that my 1995 chevy pickup with over 300,000 miles with all stock parts still runs better than my camaro.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. The contact stated that while driving 5 MPH and making a turn, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who performed a diagnostic and replaced a component to correct the failure. The contact was unable to determine the exact component however, the failure recurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to dealer however, no failure was determined. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and an incident recorder was installed on the vehicle to determine any future failures. The failure mileage was 23,000. The current mileage was 24,000.
While driving vehicle first shut off at a red light for no reason on feb 28 2012 same incident on march 1st shut off a red light third time it was while driving 10 MPH making a turn in a parking spot. Was able to turn back car on with no problems but it is of great concern now if this should happen at a high speed I am sure car can cause injuries to others as well as myself.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. The contact was driving 5 MPH when the vehicle became hesitant to acceleration and smoke was released from the engine compartment. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer where the dealer diagnosed the failure as a blown piston. The vehicle was repaired with a new motor. The failure mileage was 25,000 and the current mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.
The 2010 camaro ss automatic is equipped with the fuel management system which deactivates the valves on four cylinders at low speeds. Upon accelerating the four cylinders are re-activated and a surge of approximately 200 hundred horsepower is sent to the real wheels which causes a traction loss and loss of control on icy or snow covered roadways. This is a hazard which can create a serious accident due to the rear wheels losing traction and slipping. The dealer has checked my vehicle and stated that gm considers this normal and not a problem.
Tl*the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle started producing toxins which started coming into the vehicle. He also stated that due to those toxins, he became sick and was taken to the hospital as a result of an existing heart condition. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 1,975 and current mileage is 5,000.
2010 camaro shutters when I think about !@#$% at gm wasting government money to bash toyota in tv and print ads.
