When shifting the vehicle from 1st gear to second gear, the vehicle makes a grinding noise and struggles to go into gear. It seems to happen more often when trying to shift it when it is at a higher gear. All the other gears seem to never have a problem shifting.

Code U0100 vehicle shows reduced power and stops while driving and will not restart. Also say service stabiltrak have heard that a lot of GM vehicles experience the same problem. Very dangerous because the vehicles can just shut down at anytime.

As I search the web for my HVAC problem and learn there is a defect with HVAC blen doors. Either your vehicle is extremely cold or hot or possibly hot on one side and cold on the other. The uncontrolled heat can put you to sleep behind the wheel on driving trip. I believe GM is aware of the problem but refuse to recall. This not a normal wear and tear part. There our thousands of Camaro owners with this problem and the dealership is charging up to $3000 to repair. Hope you can help!!!!!!

The steering wheel always shakes and grinds. The brakes squeal for no reason. The engine makes a loud noise and sounds louder at running now, I hade it looked at and they said nothing is wrong there is something wrong it uses way to much gas and it makes to many noises. The engine just does not sound good and it makes a loud grounding noise.

I brought brand new 2011 from Chevy paul conte in freeport long island. Since 2012 I was get big leak from the convertible roof that was leak it in car behind passenger seat. I complaint 5 different occasions and Chevy would say their nothing wrong. So I decided get extend after market warranty after factory warranty ran out. When 1st thing happen to Chevy I include leak roof. Do you know they found problem in one hour. I still have all paper work for everything. Said they couldnt cover it. Which their not surpose.but show Chevy lieing game. I told owner ken and all my paper work. The manager was upset and give ken some problem til ken owner broke it down to him. Manger claim I'm get free work done mean while it should cover under warranty. They claim to fix never get leak water in car no more.but did notice I hear water ocean when going up the hill. Than one day 4 months ago while driving car just cut off. I didnt know what to do call my guy. He cut the battery but that the truck was wet.in back of my trunk. He said you haven't noticed he said you see water mark's. I was shock. He open my truck to see battery. And entire battery was sitting water for real. I was hurt and angry cause should be going threw this. I been have problems with this convertible since I brought this car brand new. I also have video and pics.

I took the car to nash Chevrolet in lawrenceville, ga for the recall work on the fob (#14294).they performed the work according to the GM process. The result is unacceptable. Now I have a hole where the key was which is susceptible to dirt and water. See attached picture. The dealer will not correct and defers to the GM. GM will not correct. You initiated the corrective work and must have approved the process. You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves! I've seen on the internet a replacement plastic "cover" that could be inserted but was never offered the solution. The fee was rumored to be $46. Again, you all ought to be ashamed of yourselves! don't you think a small circuit board open to the environments is just as dangerous not to mention aesthetically unpleasing? at a minimum, I am requesting the appropriate corrective action to be taken and the NHTSA re-open the case and investigate!

I was told last year that I had a bad transmission due to water damage to my vehicle and that they would not cover the repair because they said that I drove it through water which was not true so, I had to pay a $250ded out of pocket, and $3856.97 was paid by my insurance company. Not even 2 months later the same problem. The car will drive and then it will stop on you and not change into gear. The car has been in the shop about 8 times for the same problem and they can't seem to tell me what the problem is. Who can I contact to help me with this issue since the manufacturer cant tell what's wrong with their own product.

Air bag sensor is always coming on and dings every few minutes....whether or not there is someone in the passenger seat or not, whether its in drive or in park, when it goes off, I turn the switch to disregard the notification and it comes on every few minutes....also, the evaporator core kit needs replaced, which is about $2000 and 20 hours of labor due to having to remove windsheild. Heater and defrost work fine but ac will not cool, smells funny inside the car and makes noise when you try to turn on A/C. thankfully its fall.. no recalls but found lots of complaints on the A/C and 2011 Chevrolet Camaros. The A/C started slowly getting less and less cool each day then the last day before it quit, the driver side wouldnt cool at all but the passenger side would. Put in refrigerant and it cooled for a couple more days then just quit cooling. 75,000 miles, had it 5 years 1 month, no warranty. Dont want to pay that much to cool my car, will not purchase another Camaro! not happy.

Left work to grab dinner with a coworker who rode in the passenger front seat. After going into pick up our dinner my coworker noticed fluid on my passenger side front floor mat. I drove back to work and checked the fluid on the mat and it was coolant (dexcool). Drove home and checked the mat again and there was more fluid. I used a mirror and flashlight to look under the dash inboard of the glove box and with the heat on and fan running found fluid leaking from the plastic pan under the heater core.

Heater core went out in my car with 12167 miles. The car is stored in the garage every winter and not driven. I called customer care for Chevrolet and did not get any where. With the mileage being so low I'm concern the part is faulty or put in my car wrong. Please help me this is not right.
