Problems with 2002 Chevrolet Camaro EQUIPMENT

051406 driving 35 mph when check engine light came on when car lost all acceleration . car was going downhill and i barely managed to brake and steer it clear into a lot. towed to dealer. 49,000 miles. fuel pump needs replacement which i found was way too soon. cost $1300. complaint is too soon for a replacement and more important was the heavy non responding steering and non responding braking. very very lucky other cars were clear. *nm

I have a 2002 chevrolet camaro i purchased in october of 2004. myself and a friend were on our way to work @ 6:15 am when we were struck head on by a large suv. we were running 45 mph (head on" and driver nor passenger air bags deployed leaving my passenger"best friend" with a large bruise on the right side of her brain which causes terrible headaches for her, and myself with conflicting back and neck problems had the airbags went off they would have at least kept us from jamming our bodies at full force forward into the windshield and myself the steering wheel. this accident did $7000.00 worth of damage to the front of the camaro and messed up our lives forever. instead of totaling the car like it should have been it was fixed and it is still defective the insurance company which did not do there job right in examining the car thoroughly for the extent of damage it had, all they did was look at the car take one picture estimated the cost at $3500.00 less than what it ended up costing to repair, they never looked under the hood nor the front end to see that the front end on the driver side was completely destroyed the tire was falling off and not attached to anything completely destroyed and still no air bags. he would not even authorize the body shop to check the air bags nor censors. i have a son that has to ride in this defective car and that scares me to death. we were almost killed!! we still cant work due to the extent of our injuries. i pay $400.00 a month for a car i once loved my first nice car which is now a car i hate and am scared of. i cant get a different one i have no income. i feel gm should step up help out and take responsibility for this mistake. if not we may have to take further action. *jb

Driver's side seat belt fails to retract when exiting car. dealer refuses to replace it saying it is normal. *jb

All four rotors became warped mysteriously just days after taking car to dealership to have oil leak, rear speaker, and left power window fixed. baffled at how this could occur on a vehicle with such low miles and easy driving. however, mechanics at dealership drove my car for 30 miles - so who knows what occurred during that time. had to pay brake shop $85 to get 4 rotors resurfaced, since dealer would not warranty. (stereo speaker still not fixed, and window still rattles). *nlm

My complaint is with a gm product..a 2002 chevrolet camaro. not long after purchase (apprx) less than a few months of taking possession of my "new" vehicle the drivers side window regulator(power assisted ) was having problems...the regulator would stick in any position up/down and would not operate correctly . the vehicle was under warranty and was repaired..the regulator on the passenger side then went out the same way not long after...again it was repaired.this problem has re-occurred several times since 2002 to the present date as of 03/02/2010.i have spoken to many camaro owners and the response is exactly the same...we all know that our vehicle (camaros) do "that" . first of all the cars are now out of warranty and the financial responsibility falls on us ! these repairs can exceed $500.00 dollars. there is no doubt gm knows of this. i have spoken to many other camaro owners and all say that an aftermarket window regulator solved their problem,its obviously defective window regulators permiated there stock and gm replaced them with the same defective parts. these problems occurred without incident ie; accidents,misuse etc. failure of these components are very dangerous, if a driver becomes trapped inside his/her vehicle and cannot exit through the door normally and has to depend on the window as an exit they will become trapped inside that vehicle and could be seriously injured or killed. not being able to roll the windows up or down when needed can be very dangerous (ie. floods,fire,,submerged vehicle or assailant.) *tr
