problem #5

Apr 042002

Camaro

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Upon take off, transmission started making noise and did not want to go into second gear. Tried backing up and reverse was gone. Car will shift into second gear with help. Car has always been maintained properly and transmission serviced at required time. Presently awaiting word from Chevy to see if they will replace transmission at no cost or little cost as mileage is low and car has been well maintained.

problem #2

Apr 011999

Camaro

  • miles
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.

problem #1

Mar 211999

(reported on)

Camaro

  • miles
My car has done a 'tink-tink' sound since I took it out of the dealer with only 8 miles on the odometer. Every time I put it in drive or reverse, it makes a double tink-pop from under. When you accelerate, it sounds again, and sometimes sounds as the trasmission changes gears (automatic) or you brake. I'm concerned that it could break while driving, and causing a potential hazard with a crash as it becomes undriveable.
