Driving down the freeway and the driver side rear tire locks up and brakes become hard as a rock, and cause me to spin out on the freeway. Radio cut off and felt like the car was picking up speed rather then slowing down! OnStar then proceeded to tell me via email there is an issue with my anti braking system and stability trac system after the crash.
My vehicle has been at kuni Chevrolet in sacramento, ca since 2/1/19 and they have been unable to fix the problem, stability control light on, when I drive over a bump at highway speeds it caused me to veer across 2 lanes. Thankfully I did not hit another car.
Car developed stabilitrack message on dashboard, check engine light on, engine misfire, reduced power, and intermittent no start,( like dead battery) after let sit for some time, all symptoms go away. Car was taken 2 times to dealership for service, at first time they replaced engine lifters, at second visit they were unable to duplicate concern. Car had continued to show same symptoms. Contacted general motors customer service, and they opened a case # [redacted] they stated will call back. Days later cr acted again, no power, engine misfire, check engine light on and no start condition, and finally cached on fire on 01/10/2020. All symptoms were present when car moving and when charging gas for example had to shut engine off, it will not restart, like battery was dead, called road assistance triple a, and diagnosed battery to be fine.they stateted car has electrical issues.
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.
I was driving at about 20 MPH around a traffic circle in a residential area, when, after turning right, then left, then right around the traffic circle, the back end slid out and the right rear wheel slammed sideways against a curb. The wheel was instantly cracked, the wheel and spindle bent. "service stabilitrack" instantly came on the driver information center, and all three stability indicator lights came on. The p-zero nero tires on this car are not suitable for wet roads in the city. The ambient temperature was about 50 degrees. The Camaro and these tires make it unsafe, and the car should come equipped default with all-season tires, not racing z-rated summer only tires. Repair cost is $1,500 and this is not covered under warranty. I am very unhappy with the performance of this "performance" car.
I was headed south making a left turn onto 167th off of cicero ( busy street) and an oncoming vehicle struck me on the passenger side front quarter panel, then pushing my car over the median and into another vehicle and afterwards into a curb. None of my airbags deployed after basically four impacts.
The car was making a turn in inclement weather when it lost traction. In every effort to slow the vehicle, my husband (whom was driving) downshifted to third gear, as the car was sliding into a ditch the clutch stuck to the floor (as it has done before on several occasions and has been mentioned to the local dealership), the brakes went out, the e-brake was pulled in an intense effort to slow the vehicle during the loss of control from impacting an electrical pole. When the first impact was made into the ditch, all 4 curtain airbags deployed. After the second full frontal impact into the electrical pole, the driver's side airbag deployed, however, the passenger side airbag did not even though it had an occupant.
Radio shuts off randomly during driving city streets and at highway speeds. Blowers will sometimes shut off when the radio turns off. Dash lights also flicker 5-10 times when radio shuts off and after turning the car off. When pulling the key from the ignition, speakers pop loudly. Extremely distracting and dangerous. No issue with battery or alternator. GM says they don't know about the issue, however there are multiple videos on youtube and forums online of this issue. Apparently there's a possible solution by cutting the 18th wire, furthest white wire to the left behind the stereo face plate. This problem needs to be recalled.
