chevrolet camaro 2014 Complaints

TIRES

made a turn in rain going approx 10 mph and car slid. luckily no accident, however it is utter nonsense to sell an automobile in the northeast with summer tires only and then offer all weather tires and rims as a $1000.00 after market option. i feel this is not only unsafe but lethal to the driver and all occupants. i believe that chevy should be selling the car with all weather tires (safety first) and the summer tires as an option. i feel that paying $45,000.00 for a vehicle it should be safe. i feel that there will be many accidents to come and i would like to know "does someone have to die" to get this investigated. i feel chevy should recall all autos with these summer tires and replace them with all weather or at least have the owner sigh a waiver.

AIR BAGS

burlingto chevrolet in new jersey sold me and put inspection stickers on my 2014 camaro,which does not comply with federal regulations for air bag labels.the camaro does not have smart air bags,so warning labels are required notifying occupents of the dangers of air bags.please note i also have a nasty ruubbing in my air bag which gm claims is fine.however in 2012 when this style air bag came out the sent letters to customers that if the air bags are makinh noises to bring them in for repair and inspection!i was told the noise is caused by too much pressure on the clock spring!they also have a tsb about the techs not being able to get the air bags off due to this condition!gm needs to recall these air bags as i have 2 other generation 5 camaros and one was a 2012 which has the smae air bag and wheel as my 2014.my 2012 didnt make any noise or have steering isssues!

WHEELS

after the first 100 miles of use i always check the wheel lug nuts for proper torque value as per the owners manual and did so on my new 2014 camaro 2ss, purchased on 23 may 2014. i found all the wheel lug nuts way under torqued at approximately 80 lb ft of torque., the 2014 camaro factory owners manual that came with the car stated 110lb ft of torque on each lug nut. also noted that on each lug nut there appeared to be a special coating material on the mating surface of each nut. looks & feels like a teflon coating. i always thought that this surface should be free of any lubrication so that when seated against the wheel surface it would be metal to metal with no lubrication required. could this coating be affecting the wheel lug nut torquing done during the wheel installation at the gm assembly plant?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

this vehicle was purchased brand new january 2014 with less than 10 miles on it. upon taking the vehicle in three or more times for a fuel system issue, i experienced a rapidly flashing engine light two times. i called the service department. they said do not drive the vehicle anywhere other than to the dealership because the engine may blow. i took the car to the dealership on 5/29. the dealership "replaced" all parts on the vehicle including the fuel line, fuel injectors, pistons, all fuel injectors and this did not help. they then attempted to even out the compression in the cylinders to fix the issue of the compression leaking. this did not work. the vehicle was still having compression issues. they finally requested a replacement engine from gm. the engine was installed and i was called to pick up my vehicle after 29 days at the dealership. i requested a buy back, as from what they have told me regarding the car having a defect and this is a huge safety concern for me. the dealer and gm west coast liaison denied buy back due to the warranty still being in effect. this car is not safe and should be bought back by the dealer. we are pursuing with the bbb and a lawyer. the dealership has not cooperated and will not assist any further. the main concern is lack of knowledge as to what was wrong with the vehicle and that being it had 5000-6000 miles, how do we know it will be safe and will not have issues in the future.

i was turning onto the highway that the speed limit is 65 mph from a side road. i waited for oncoming traffic to pass and then pulled out. as i pulled out, turning right, my car had a sudden loss of power. i tried to restart and it would not restart. i had difficulty pulling over to the side of the road due to the steering wheel being stiff and hard to handle. after i got to the side of the road, i was able to restart my car. i did not bump the ignition switch when this happened either.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

while sitting at a stop light for a busy intersection, the check engine light and message appeared with the statements engine power reduced and service stabilitrak. i was able to pull off into a parking lot and shut the car down for a restart. upon restart, the messages continued. i researched my owner's manual in which it said given these messages, the car was safe to drive but needed to be checked out. i attempted to proceed to my destination, however the transmission would not shift into second gear, and the vehicle would top out at approximately 30 mph. while i was in a 55 mph zone, i decided to again pull off the road and contact onstar. my vehicle was towed to the dealer. the following afternoon, the dealership contacted me saying the problem was a bad high-pressure fuel pump. the dealer had a spare fuel pump in-stock, however the fuel line is non-serviceable, and i was told they were on a back-order of 3-5 days. seven days later the dealer called to let me know that gm was re-engineering that fuel line and it could be upwards of a month before the car would be repaired. after a total of 17 days, the car was repaired and everything seems to be back in order.
