My camaro's accelerator stopped functioning at highway speeds in heavy traffic. i had to coast to a stop while dodging traffic. the engine ran, at idle. i put it in park. i still could not accelerate. i could floor it. nothing but idle. i turned off the power and cut it back on and i was able to engaged the accelerator to get off the freeway and have it towed to a dealer. this is almost the same symptoms as the functional hack as demonstrated in the wired magazine "jeep hack" video. after troubleshooting it 9 days, the dealer gave me the following info. u100 data bus: engine control module (ecm) a - no communication u101 data bus: transmission control module (tcm) - no communication u121 data bus: anti-lock brake system (abs) control module - no communication u176 data bus: supplementary restraint system (srs) sensor g - no communication i believe this to be either a very serious defect, or a malicious hacking attempt. i lost control of the vehicle at highway speeds. i can't drive this vehicle without the fear of it happening again. without warning. gm's official answer is that they will give me an oil change coupon. i do not find this satisfactory. i find it a huge danger to my life and those around me. i am insulted that gm finds it funny. research i have done shows that they have covered up stuff like this before. i think the public needs to know. i asked gm for contact info on their federal overseer for the ignition issue. they refused. i don't think they have learned their lesson.

I have a serious safety issue with this vehicle. my wife often rides with me in the passenger seat. she weighs approximately 130 pounds and the passenger airbag fails to turn on about 50% of the time. in order to activate the airbag system, we have to stop the vehicle, then she has to exit and re-enter the seat. this usually turns the airbag on. this is at best, inconvenient, but at worst in some situations it is hazardous! the local dealer contacted gm/tac in detroit and their response was as follows: "your vehicle is operating as designed. this is normal operation of the vehicle per tac that anyone 120 pounds and under will not trigger the airbag light to come on. this is the final gm resolution at this time" the 120-130 pound airbag threshold seems unusually high to me. is this a normal design feature for all of these cars? why is this way? if i had known that when considering the vehicle i would not have purchased it. this is an ongoing problem. it started in sep. 2015 and continues to this day (jan. 10, 2016)
While driving my 2015 camaro on the highway going the speed limit (65mph)both side airbags deployed for no reason. there was no suddenly braking or crash they just deployed.
