The timing chain on my camaro 3.6l was stretched causing the engine to run rough and stall out while driving. The dealership was well aware of the issue based on a service alert from the manufacture. The vehicle had 53000 miles and was repaired at my cost for a know manufacturer defect. Had to get the vehicle repaired for safety because it was unsafe to drive. I believe general motors is issuing recalls for this same engine but on other models.

^ 6 speed manual transmission, bypass/lockout will not allow correct shift forcing vehicle to hesitate or be become bogged down. Forces you to 4th gear or 6th. In traffic this a hazard while trying to build up speed,for on ramp,merging,passing sometimes car will stall. Only to correct temporarily is pull on side of road and stop put car in reverse then vehicle shifts normal for a slight while. Gm is in denial!!! In motion on highway and city streets.

Leaving work and the clutch stuck when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear then there was a terrible burning smell and it stalled in the middle of an intersection. Then while I was on the highway driving 65mph I down-shifted from 6th to 5th for upcoming slower traffic and the clutch stuck again and the car starts to stall. Both times I had pressed on the gas thinking the clutch would come out and it didn't so then there was terrible burning smell. I finally got the clutch unstuck both times and proceeded home. It didn't do it while driving to work but my car had been in the garage all night. However, at work my car sits outside all day and it was really cold that day. I notified the dealer first thing in the morning and they are looking at it.
