What owners say
After having the car for a year with regular maintenance and service, out of nowhere car was giving electrical problems that was making my car battery die and the ABS brake system giving out completely to the point where the vehicle has no brakes at all & engine failure due to cylinder #1 no compression, car kept giving codes p0300 , C0299 , B1517 , notice there’s an service bulletin from GM NO. Pi1178F is know as a common problem for LTG engines, also the only way I found out that the engine was damaged when I took the vehicle to the dealership for diagnostic and was told that one of the Cylinders had no compression which had came down the line that an Piston ring had internally damaged my engine, vehicle has 145K and was running smoothly until sudden electrical problems.
I purchased my 2017 camero with only 36 miles on it. The vehicle has been back to the dealership several times for maintenance within the first year of me purchasing the vehicle. It has been twice for the vibration of the transmission. At first they told me it was a issue with the tires. I ended up purchasing new tires, however the problem still persisted. I took the vehicle back to the dealership and they finally stated that it was a issue with the transmission fluid and they had to wait on gm to send some to the dealership. The most recent issue I have with my 2017 camero is that the stability track light came on, this caused my car to cut off while I was driving it. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership. The dealership stated they repaired the stability track issue but I need a new engine or to have the engine rebuilt. The dealership stated a code#2 cylinder misfire internal code displayed. The dealership stated that a new engine would cost me around $8900.00 plus labor. They stated to rebuild it it would be over $10,000.00. They stated my warranty was up at 60,000 miles and that there is nothing that they or gm can do to to assist me. This is the first car that I have ever purchased and it 's unthinkable that a engine goes out on a car with 70,000 miles on it. I also kept up with my regular scheduled maintenance . I don't know what to do.
Car developed stabilitrack message on dashboard, check engine light on, engine misfire, reduced power, and intermittent no start,( like dead battery) after let sit for some time, all symptoms go away. Car was taken 2 times to dealership for service, at first time they replaced engine lifters, at second visit they were unable to duplicate concern. Car had continued to show same symptoms. Contacted general motors customer service, and they opened a case # [xxx] they stated will call back. Days later cr acted again, no power, engine misfire, check engine light on and no start condition, and finally cached on fire on 01/10/2020. All symptoms were present when car moving and when charging gas for example had to shut engine off, it will not restart, like battery was dead, called road assistance triple a, and diagnosed battery to be fine.they stateted car has electrical issues. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
