  FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPING PREMATURELY, NEED RESURFACING FOR THE SECOND TIME. DEALER CONTACTED AND STATES NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE BRAKES. PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

• 12/29/1998· SERVICE BRAKES, AIR

  I STARTED EXPERIENCING A PULSATING SENSATION FROM THE BRAKES AFTER ABOUT 5 THOUSAND MILES. THIS SENSATION USUALLY OCCURS DURING MODERATE BRAKING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THE PULSING CONTINUED TO INCREASE OVER TIME. IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE IN MY HANDS AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT 35 MPH. I CONTACTED MY DEALER ABOUT BRINGING MY CAR IN TO HAVE THEM SERVICE THE BRAKES. THEY TOLD ME THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I DECIDED TO PULL THE ROTORS MYSELF AND HAVE THEM RESURFACED. ONCE THIS PROCEDURE WAS PERFORMED THE BRAKES OPERATED PERFECTLY. IT IS NOW 3 THOUSAND MILES LATER AND I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. THIS IS THE FIFTH CAMARO Z28 I HAVE OWNED AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES ON MY OTHER VEHICLES( 2 1992, 1 1995, 1 1996). I DO NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANY DIFFERENTLY THAN MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES. I REALIZE THE BRAKES WERE REDESIGNED FOR THIS VEHICLE IN 1998 AND FEEL THAT THEIR IS A DEFECT IN EITHER THE DISC ROTOR TYPE, MANUFACTURE, OR MATERIAL. THE DISC ROTORS AND OTHER RELATED BRAKE COMPONENTS THAT ARE A DIRECT CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE REPLACED BY CHEVROLET AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER.

• 12/28/2000· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROLCrash

  I HAVE TALKED TO A NUMBER OF CAMARO OWNERS WHO ALL ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THE THE DISC BRAKE ROTORS.

• 12/18/1998· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  BOTH FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AND CAUSED A VIBRATION WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, ESPECIALLY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. BOTH FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE NEW ROTORS HAVE JUST BEGUN TO DEMONSTRATE SIGNS OF WARPAGE AGAIN (11000 MILES).

• 12/16/2001· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINEFire

  NYLON LINE WAS PINCHED WHEN CAR WAS ASSEMBLED RESULTING IN A FUEL LEAK WHICH PROGRESSED OVER MONTHS UNTIL FUEL WAS DRIPPING ONTO PAVEMENT. LEAK WAS SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE FIRE AND A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF POLLUTION. MANUFACTURER HAD NO TSB NOR WARRANTY COVERAGE. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS FAILURE WHICH WAS DIFFICULT TO "CATCH."*AK

• 11/27/1999· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC,EQUIPMENT

  HAVE HAD CHRONIC PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. MOST RECENT BEING THE FAILURE OF THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE ABS COMPUTER MODULE AND OR SENSORS HAVE FAILED. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH CAMAROS. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS NEEDS TO BE A COVERED REPAIR. THE CAR IS PRACTICALLY NEW AND THEY WANT $800.00 TO FIX IT.

• 11/24/1999· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES CAR GOES FROM SIDE TO SIDE.DEALER HAS REPAIRED THE VEHICLE FIVE TIMES, YET THE SAME DEFECT STILL OCCURS. *AK

• 11/11/1999· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  CAMARO WAS BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT 6-99. AT 28000 MILES I BEGAN TO NOTICE WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 55-70 MPH. AND APPLIED THE BRAKES THE FRONT END OF THE CAMARO BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE CAR NOW HAS MORE THAN 33000 MILES AND THE SHAKE IS MUCH WORSE. I WENT TO TOM BANNEN CHEVROLET TO TALK WITH THE SERVICE MGR. AND THE NEW CAR SALES MANAGER. THEY BOTH TOLD ME THE FRONT ROTORS WERE WORN OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH THE TOTAL COST BEING MY RESPONSABILITY. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR MORE THAN THIRTY FIVE YEARS AND NEVER HAD TO REPLACE ROTORS. I'AM A RETIRED TRUCK DRIVER. SHOULD I EVER FIND MYSELF ON ICY SLICK ROADS AND HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKES AT THE SPEEDS MENTIONED, I WILL CERTAINLY GO INTO A SPIN. I FEEL THE THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE PRE WEARING ROTORS ESCPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE INTIAL PRICE CHARGED TO ME FOR THE NEW CAMARO. I HAVE SPOKE WITH OTHER NEW CAR OWNERS AND MANY ARE EXPEIANCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. BRAKES ARE NOTHING TO BE EXPERIMENTING CHEAPER AND THINNER PARTS JUST TO SAVE THAT MIGHTY DOLLAR. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT QUALITY, SAFTEY, FAIR CONSUMER TRUST THAT ALL PARTS ARE OF THE BEST QUALITY WHEN IT COMES TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE IN READING THIS COMPLAINT.

• 11/04/2003· AIR BAGSCrash

  MY 1998 CHEVROLET METRO LSI WAS TOTALLED YESTERDAY IN AN ACCIDENT WITH A SCHOOL BUS. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEFLATE, AND JUDGING THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE ACCIDENT, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR MUTILATED. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE. *AK

• 11/04/1999· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  THERE HAS BEEN A SLIGHT SHIMMY IN THE FRONT END WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. THE SHIMMY PROGRESSIVLY GOT WORSE AND WORSE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. HE SAYS THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND NEED TO BE RESURFACED. HE SAID THAT IT IS NOT A WARRANTEE REPAIR AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I ARGUED THAT THE CAR HAS ALWAYS HAD THE SHIMMY BUT I DIDN'T SUPECT A PROBLEM, THIS BEING MY FIRST CAR WITH ABS BRAKES. THE CAR ONLY HAS 18,577 MILES, THE BRAKE ROTORS SHOULD NOT BE WARPED. MY ARGUING WITH THE DEALER HAS NOT GOTTEN ANYWHERE, SINCE THE CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE TO BE DRIVEN IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION, I AGREED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. NOW, AFTER DOING SOME LOOKING AROUND ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT MANY CAMARO OWNERS HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THOUGH SOME DEALERS HAVE BEEN REPAIRING THE ROTORS UNDER WARANTEE, BUT MOST DON'T. AND I'VE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT RESURFACING THE ROTORS(WHICH I AM PAYING FOR!), AND EVEN REPLACING THE ROTORS WITH OEM PARTS DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW AND THE PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO RECUR IF GM REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE USED. IN THIS DAY, A $20K-$30K NEW CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE DEFECTIVE ROTORS THAT THE OWNERS ARE FORCED TO CONTINUALLY GET REPAIRED. A CARS BRAKING SYSTEM IS ITS NUMBER ONE SAFETY COMPONENT, HOW CAN THE CONSUMER BE SUBJECTED TO THIS?

• 11/02/2004· VISIBILITY

• 10/19/1999· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC,POWER TRAIN

  CAR HAS BEEN IN REPAIR 5 TIMES FOR THE BRAKES. 2 TIMES FOR A CALIPER BOLT THAT FELL OUT, AND THE WHEEL LOCKED. BOTH TIMES I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT IF MY WHEEL WOULD HAVE LOCKED UP ON THE INTERSTATE. THEY NEVER DO ANYTHING AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT TURN/CLEAN ROTERS WHICH BECOME FAULTY AGAIN. I'M LOOKING INTO SUEING CHEVROLET IF THEY DON'T FIX THIS DEFECT. IT IS WAY TOO DANGEROUS FOR SOMETHING OF THIS NATURE TO KEEP OCCURING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. NEXT TIME I MIGHT NOT BE SO LUCKY. *AK

• 09/23/1999· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  WARPED ROTORS - TWICE. DEALERS/GM WON'T REPLACE DEFECTIVE MATERIALS BECAUSE "THEY DON'T HAVE TO". IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD THAT GM DOESN'T CARE AT ALL ABOUT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE METAL FOR THE ROTORS ON THESE CARS WASN'T PROPERLY HARDENED. THESE CARS WERE ASSEMBLED JUST PRIOR TO THE BIG GM STRIKE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. WITH ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS WITH THE NHTSA, ONE WOULD THINK THERE'D BE A RECALL OR TSB RELEASED ON THESE BY NOW. IS NHTSA DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? BTW - I ALSO PLAN TO CONTACT MY STATE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL ABOUT THIS.

• 09/21/2003· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  98 CHEVY CAMARO: RUNNING LIGHTS MELT AND CAUSE BULB TO FUSE WITH FIXTURE. THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED ON THIS CAR THREE TIMES. I THINK THAT THIS PROBLEM REALLY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR RECALL REPLACEMENT AT CHEVY'S COST. THEY KNOW THIS PART MELTS. THEY KNOW IT HAS A HISTORY. THE PART SEEMS TO HAVE A LIFESPAN OF 2 1/2 YEARS. I AM EXPECTING THE OTHER ONE TO MELT SOON AS THEY DID THE LAST TIME WITHIN A MONTH OR SO OF EACH OTHER. IT SEEMS THAT CHEVY WOULD RATHER BE FORCED TO REPLACE A PART, THEN SIMPLY PROTECTING IT'S DRIVERS. THIS IS MY LAST HOPE TO GET THE RUNNING LIGHTS REPLACED SINCE THE PART IS DEFECTIVE. OTHER DEFECTIVE PARTS, MOODY IGNITION, DRIVER SIDE MIRROR, AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS.*JB
