The vehicle has a surge in throttle while in gear at a complete stop. This forced the vehicle against the power of the breaks into a fence and a wooden parking stop causing significant damage. This has happened several times while the vehicle was stationary overpowering a normal pressure on the breaks while in gear.this has happened a total of at least 10 times. Last occurring the last day I drove the vehicle. I placed the vehicle in storage afterwards.

I took my car to the dealer with a fluid leak at th passenger rear side of the car.. it was very minor, producing only a small "baseball" sized stain in my driveway over a 3 month period. Fluid was greasy and sticky. The dealer reported that the clamp for the filler tub was not properly installed but rhe factory. They said they repaired it by removing and reclamping it on. Once I returned home with the car, I had a whole new problem. Gas now leaks out on my driveway anytime the tank is above one-fourth full. The fluid on the driveway is distinctly gas, whereas before, it did not have the odor or appearance of gas. It was sticky, more tacky like a grease. I returned to the Chevrolet dealership and they informed me that I have a cracked gas tank. They will not admit that they inadvertently cracked it during the previous repair. This only leads me to believe that Chevrolet has an inherent issue with their gas tanks in that they will crack without cause by the driver. This car was a certified pre-owned Chevrolet. It had approximately 23,200 miles on it al the time and the warranty had expired due to timing: The 24 months was over in April 2018. The "cracked" gas tank was discovered in August. Please review. This is a safety issue and could result in injury or death to the occupants of the vehicle.

2012 Camaro has had power down problems while just merging on interstate started at 40,000 miles. Air bag module claimed by dealership if the problem and will cost to fix along with throttle control body. Car had been diagnosed by another dealer but nothing was told could be the taka airbag recall but not sure with price of 1500 for repairs this also includes break changing I'm sure is not the major cost. I've been trying to get this airbag issue addressed. The power down and a dash info pop up first came at 36000 mile. All issues have been on highway 90 also interstate 10 on ramp and general driving.
