About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
As I'm driving at 55mph or higher, all of the sudden the car shuts off and comes right back on and all you see are all the dashboard lights turn on and off all at once which is scary because when that happens, you have no control of the car because once the car shuts off, for that one or two seconds it does this you have no control and the steering wheel locks on you. The car will also not allow you to press on the gas peddle to make the speed go up, at time when I depress the gas peddle, the car hesitates and does not want to accelerate and then all of the sudden it accelerates at a very high speed without you controlling it.

Gas peddle stuck to the floor twice while I was in motion on a country highway, forcing me to high speeds before I could shut down engine stop and pull peddle up off floor. Rear of peddle mount broke loose from floor causing peddle to overlap front of mount. Dealer tried to say it is fine just dont push it hard and it wont stick I insist it be replaced dealer is reluctant to fix sent me home with broken peddle and says they are ordering parts. These peddles are cheap junk and I beleive more will fail.

When taking off from a stop, at normal speed, the engine bogs and almost stalls. This requires a re application of the clutch and more throttle to prevent stalling. This happens almost daily. It has happened while pulling into traffic from a driveway and almost caused an accident. I have been driving with a clutch for over 30 years on both cars and motorcycles. There is a real problem with the torque management system on this car. This problem affects many of this model of Camaro there is an online forum that has an in depth discussion of the problem: www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?T=498180&page=10
