I have three issues for my camaro 2010. first and most important is the the timing chain, the chain moved and activated the cam sensors. the cost to change it is princely. second , the air bag light on the passenger is on. took it to the dealer and paid and still they couldn't find the issue so they wanted more money. third, three of the tire sensors when on and dealer wants more money. the car runs with poor performance so i stop using it.
I took my car into a chevrolet dealership immediately after i noticed my engine started to make noises. a couple of hours later, i got a call from the dealership and they told me there was engine damage. the service employee asked me why i waited so long to change the oil in the car. i told him that i waited for the car oil life system (ols) to alert me to change the oil, and that it doesn't alert me until 8,000 to 10,000 miles. he told me that i shouldn't wait that long, and he recommended to change the oil after 4,000 to 5,000 miles. i told him that gm needs to fix the (ols) to alert consumers sooner to change the oil. after i got off the phone, i did a google search and learned that there was a recall on the 2010-2012 chevrolet equinox with a four-cylinder engine, and it will get its (ols) monitor recalibrated to shorten the interval between oil changes. so i think gm need to expand the recall to cover all models that have this problem. the dealership never recalibrated my (ols) system, and told me to just bring it in sooner for oil changes. *tr
The check engine light was intermittent. i have onstar. onstar said it was a camshaft positioning sensor. i waited and the light was still off a long time, but came on and onstar said it was camshaft sensor again and another code p008. i finally went to the dealer and they said it was a bad timing belt and that my warranty was now up. they would not help, i called gm and they denied a problem with the engines. but offered a 20 % discount if i used a chevy dealer. i have seen many articles online about bad timing chains in the v6 engines. i don't think i should pay for a known defect. i bought the car new in 2009. thank you

This camaro has been in our family since august 2011, as a daily driver for my wife, purchased from a gm certified used dealer. leaving the parking lot from a trip to walmart today, not even going 10mph, the vehicle begins to slow down stating "engine power is reduced", with both the check engine light on and the stability trac light on. we were able to limp home under 40mph. nothing is noticeably wrong, but now the car runs on a rough idle, it's sitting stationary for now. doing research, i have found this is a common problem with ls3's, mostly having to do with the throttle body itself or accompanying sensors. i'm going to change to throttle body and go from there. my major concern is that why isn't this problem a recall worthy issue. it seems to be a major problem with 2010 camaro's, and many other gm vehicles of the same year with a v8 engine not necessarily the ls3. why does it take loss of life for gm to fix a major consistent problem. i am really losing faith in this company and it's products. our 2010 camaro ss should not be the vehicle sitting in our driveway broken down over a 2001 camaro ss and a 2002 s10 truck. what is happening to the quality of gm vehicles these days? if they stand by their product, then they need own up to its shortcomings. *tr
I have taken this vehicle in several times for loss of power while driving on the freeway. in addition to the vehicle losing power, reduced speed vehicle dropped from 60 mph to 25mph. the first time the dealership stated the vehicles computer had 5 error messages & just needed to be reset. the second time occurred a couple of months later. i addressed the manufacturer & dealership manager...they said nothing could be done. they reset the computer again, after the 3rd incident almost caused me to have an accident the dealership provided me a rental & thoroughly inspected the vehicle to diagnose the issues. the vehicle was also making a grinding noise between 20-30mph between 2nd & 3rd gear. the vehicle has only been serviced by an authorized gm dealership since i purchased it. this time the service manager said the catalytic converter was the main culprit, however the vehicle was almost entirely void of oil....this was in between the manufacturer recommended oil change interval- apprx had driven in 4700 miles the grinding noise was said to be due to lack of oil but no oil leak was detected. i researched this issue in several auto forums & discovered that the high output 3.6 liter v6 engines had a known problem for burning oil & causing the engine to wear & breakdown prematurely. dealer advised me that i would need to take the vehicle in every 1000 miles to check how quickly the oil was burning in between oil changes. they confirmed that if indeed it was burning oil they would replace the engine under warranty. i believe this to be very dangerous, loss of power at highway speeds multiple times is very alarming & was not taken seriously by gm customer support - dealership service advisor was more helpful than the manager. *js
My 2010 chevy camaro 2lt in 37,000 miles the front right brake caliper got stuck and ate up my rotor and pad. in 40,000 miles it broke a valve spring. ever since they say they fixed it, it still runs like crap loss of power, and still misses but dealer says its fine and from day one everytime i go over a bump at any speed it sounds like glass is shattering and it comes from the front suspension. its sad that my 1995 chevy pickup with over 300,000 miles with all stock parts still runs better than my camaro. *tr

I purchased my 2010 chevy camaro 2ss, in february of 2012. it had 4,400 miles on it. about a month or two, after i bought it, it completely shut off on me, on a major highway, while doing 65 mph. i threw it into neutral and turned the key and it started right back up. about a month after that, i was doing about 20mph on a back road and it did the same exact thing. just recently, about 2 weeks ago, i was in 6th gear, on cruise doing 60mph and i felt the car "jerk" or buck" a little bit. followed immediately by the car decelerating. i down-shifted to 4th gear and was giving it gas, but still wouldn't speed up. it fell down to about 40mph, before finally catching itself and speeding back up. about a mile later, i got off my exit and was coming down to the stop sign,when all the indicator lights came on for about 10 seconds. they went off and i made a left hand turn and went about a mile up the road. at that point, the car completely shut off doing about 35mph. there was heavy traffic, so i pulled over and started it back up. i called the chevy dealership, where i bought it from, and they had no openings for a week. so i took it last week to get it checked and they found nothing that could have caused it, they say. i am very upset, but very thankful that my two children were not with me when it happened. i am currently contemplating trading it in, cuz i am worried that if it happens again,and my children are in the car, that it might shut off in very congested bumper to bumper traffic, on the highway at night, and a tractor trailer is behind me and i can't get it started or someone doesn't see me cuz my lights would be off. the thought of that completely scares me. *tr
