What 1995 Chevrolet Camaro owners say
Brakes all 64 →
Tl contact owns a 1995 Chevrolet Camaro. While driving 15 MPH, the brakes failed and the vehicle crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The bumpers on both vehicles were scratched. The contact stated that when the brakes were applied, the pedal would drop 3 inches and then re-engage after 2 seconds. The ABS warning indicator light illuminated after the pedal returned. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer. The current and failure mileages were 180,000.
While driving at 45 MPH, the consumer was involved in a front collision and none of the air bags deployed. The dealer was notified. The accident occurred during a rainstorm. The vehicle hydroplaned, spun around, and struck the median. The anti lock brakes failed to help gain control of the vehicle.

I was heading north on the highway and I changed lanes from the left to the right lane. Once I changed lanes my car jerked viciously back to the left I corrected the problem and went back to the right, but the car ran off the road and lost the rear passenger wheel and tire. The tire was still intact with the hub and axle (lug nuts were still connected all of them were tight.) this shouldn't have happened. I believe I wrecked because my rear axle broke. And further more my air bags must have been defective because they did not deploy on impact. They had deployed when the tow trucks brought the car out of the hole.

I also had to replace the battery at 8,000 miles. This car has me affraid to drive it. It is very unreasoable that a driveshaft needs to be replaced at 26,000 miles, or that real axels are replaced then they leak again and have to be replaced again. I was told to drive vehicle into dealership when it wouldn't stop and was under warrantee. I myself scheduled a tow, it could have killed someone they didn';t even care. I called GMC, and they don't care either. I have a lemon that I am affraid off. I also did not get the keyless entry that came with this vechicle. The dealership told me I really didn't want it anyway. It was trouble but I paid for it. I never got the sticker from the window either. I paid 21,000 for this junk heap that is a danger to the road. I am 52 and drive carefully and baby this car. I talked with GMC, and they are not interested in what I have to say. …
