Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) stopped working. During a panic stop on a freeway, I was cut off by a van. The rear wheels locked. The Dealer charged $200 to restore the system. Then, a few months later, it happened again. The Dealer comped the repair. However, they said the car needs to be driven more. A safety system's functionality should not rely on the frequency of driving. This is a serious design flaw warranting a recall.

On the 2010-2014 camaro there is a major problem with the HVAC blend/valve door. The electric actuator connects to the defective blend/valve door it appears to be made of ABS or some type of plastic. The main concern is that in cold or rainy weather the front defrost will not work allowing windshield to fog up obstructing the view where there is no visibility while driving. This is a serious and dangerous problem to the motorist. This not a normal wear part. Chevrolet has not offered any type of warranty to repair the defective product but will charge $2700.00- $3500 to replace a $14.00 part. This caught me of guard a couple of times in rainy weather I had to use passenger side door window and mirror to pull off the highway.

The stereo has a "short" as determined by my local dealer. The local dealer also informed me that this is a "well known issue" for this generation of camaros. The issue causes the stereo and all connected systems to short, turn off, then turn back on. During each cycle of this process a loud pop comes from the stereo speakers that is similar to a balloon popping in close proximity to an individual. Currently this will wither happen once after startup with the radio not turning back on for the duration of the trip, or will happen repeatedly during the duration of the drive. In the situation where the radio shorts and stays off for the remainder of the drive, none of the audio warnings for the car will work while stereo is shorted out. This includes but is not limited to seat belt warnings, low fuel warnings, door ajar warnings, reverse gear notification (manual transmission), engine overheat warning, power steering warning, transmission overheat warning, parking lamp notification, headlamp notification, parking break warning, ABS warning, blinker chime. The popping sound made by the radio while it is shorting can be very distracting while driving and there is no way to turn it off. It can also be unexpected and startling and may cause reactions from the driver. While the radio is shorted out the audio chime for the blinker does not work. There have been several instances where the blinker's audio chime was not operative for the entire time the vehicle was running. In the manual transmission vehicle the reverse gear audio notification does not operate when the radio is shorted. This can cause a driver to unexpectedly place the vehicle in reverse when attempting to quickly shift to 1st gear. In normal operation the vehicle emits a notification sound when the vehicle is placed into reverse along with a r displayed on the gauge cluster.

My camaro's accelerator stopped functioning at highway speeds in heavy traffic. I had to coast to a stop while dodging traffic. The engine ran, at idle. I put it in park. I still could not accelerate. I could floor it. Nothing but idle. I turned off the power and cut it back on and I was able to engaged the accelerator to get off the freeway and have it towed to a dealer. This is almost the same symptoms as the functional hack as demonstrated in the wired magazine "jeep hack" video. After troubleshooting it 9 days, the dealer gave me the following info. U100 data bus: engine control module (ECM) a - no communication u101 data bus: transmission control module (TCM) - no communication u121 data bus: anti-lock brake system (ABS) control module - no communication u176 data bus: supplementary restraint system (SRS) sensor g - no communication I believe this to be either a very serious defect, or a malicious hacking attempt. I lost control of the vehicle at highway speeds. I can't drive this vehicle without the fear of it happening again. Without warning. Gm's official answer is that they will give me an oil change coupon. I do not find this satisfactory. I find it a huge danger to my life and those around me. I am insulted that gm finds it funny. Research I have done shows that they have covered up stuff like this before. I think the public needs to know. I asked gm for contact info on their federal overseer for the ignition issue. They refused. I don't think they have learned their lesson.

While pulling through a fast food drive-thru, I applied the brakes and "brake assist" illuminated on the dashboard. This resulted in reduced braking with the ABS module pulsating. Once at a complete a stop the brakes were still applied although my foot was not pressing the brakes. Giving the vehicle gas let the brakes release. The dealership said they could not duplicate the problem. It happened again and it was driven directly to the dealership with the light on. I have been without my vehicle for weeks and I'm being told it will be another 60-90days before gm has a new program to fix the issue.

I have a chevrolet camaro z28 1994, quite often the ABS inoperable light comes on, meaning the ABS or antilock braking system in which the severity of the ABS operating is crucial to preventing accidents. It happens while driving, at any given speed and it terrifies me when I see it. I am unaware of what because of the antilock braking system failure is. I also owned a pontiac firebird 1997 that had the exact same issue, moreover these two cars are basically the same except for the body. This is a gm problem in lieu of both cars being made by gm. I have not been informed of any recall nor have I seen this issue on any recall list, antilock braking systems have become standard on all vehicles due to the effectiveness of preventing accidents and I have also read many comments from other owners of this vehicle with the same issue. I strongly urge you to please take this into careful consideration moreover investigation. Thank you so much for this website where consumers are able to voice these defects that automotive manufacturers sweep under the rug. I look forward to hearing back from you and thank you once again.

When I first bought the car my mom and dad took it around the block and said that it turned off but failed to mention it because of cars having features that turn car off while at a halt. I've had the car for about 6 months and it is hardly driven. 3 days of the week, and is barely at 5000 miles. Still technically brand new. One day while coming home from work my boyfriend and I noticed the car to be struggling a little power wise. When we came to a stop at a light we made a right turn and the car felt like it was going to stall. Barely turning into our apartment it finally turned off. Took a couple of tries but car finally turned on for about 10 seconds and then turned off again. Finally being able to park the car, we tried starting it after letting it sit for couple minutes and it did not want to start. We drove car to nearby dealer left it overnight and the next day they said about 11 codes were coming up. After that car finally turned on acted normal for a bit so we were given car back. Afterwards check engine light came on and stayed on. Due to not being able to be off work we were going to take car to original dealer we bought it from to get checked out. Halfway into the week the car then stalled again luckily as we turned into work. Messages came up such as "service stability and traction control" as long as "engine power reduced". We were able to park it and had onstar run a diagnostics for it and were told that several codes popped with tranny, stability and traction control, ABS breaks, engine power etc were all affected at the time. We took it to dealer couple hours later and car was checked out and "fixed" couple days later. Turned out to be a short in one of the wires. To think a simple wire defect can affect the car to that extent is scary! And I'm thankful the faultiness didn't occur in injury or death.
