2017 Chevrolet CAMARO: complaints, problems and recalls

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THROUGH CORNERS, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL INTERMITTENTLY STEER IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THAT I'M TURNING. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED MAY 12, 2017.

THEY HAVE A FLAW WHERE THERE IS ALWAYS VENT FROM WHEN THE AC IS ON TO THE DEFROST VENT ON THE WINDSHIELD, HERE IN TEXAS WHERE THERE IS 100 HUMIDITY MOST OF THE YEAR. I HAVE POOR VISIBILITY BECAUSE OF ALL THE CONDENSATION FROM COLD AIR HITTING THE WINDSHIELD ALL THE TIME. I AM HAVING TO RUN MY WIPERS ANYTIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE, EVEN WITH NO RAIN. IT CAUSES FOR A MAJOR DISTRACTION AND I HAVE ALMOST WRECK SEVERAL TIMES

I DROVE THE CAR 4 MILES THEN TURNED IT OFF AND PARKED. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN THE POWER STEERING FAILED. A WARNING ON THE DASH INDICATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING AND TO DRIVE CAREFULLY. I DROVE THE CAR BACK HOME 4 MILES AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE. THE CONDITION CLEARED AFTER I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED.

PULLEY BEARING OR PULLEY TENSIONER IS SQUEAKING. THE SERVICE ADVISORS AT MY DEALER REFUSED TO BELIEVE ANY SORT OF NOISE, EXCEPT ANOTHER SERVICE REP SAID HE HEARS IT. THEY REFUSED TO FIX ANY ISSUE BECAUSE THEY'RE LAZY AND DONT WANT TO PAY FOR THE PART.

THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION BOGS IN FIRST GEAR UNDER AGGRESSIVE ACCELERATION FROM A STANDING START. THIS MOST OFTEN OCCURS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE ALMOST STALL ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS IWHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE IS EXCESSIVE TORQUE MANAGEMENT IN THE VEHICLE'S ECU PROGRAM.

2017 CAMARO ZL1 MANUAL THIS IS SPECIFIC FOR THIS CAR MODEL. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN MOVING OUT OF A STOP. ENGINE STALLS AND RPM COMES BACK AFTERWARD VERY HIGH. THIS IS DANGEROUS ON CROSS ROAD STOPS AND STOP LIGHTS. HAD FEW EVENTS THE CAR WOULD ALMOST STALL AND BE IN A DANGEROUS PLACE IN THE ROAD WITH UPCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE A COLLISION. IT REQUIRES NEW IGNITION TIMING PROGRAMMING OF THE ECU. CHEVROLET IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE FOR A LONG TIME AND HAS NOT ISSUED ANY FIXES YET.

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP, AT NORMAL SPEED, THE ENGINE BOGS AND ALMOST STALLS. THIS REQUIRES A RE APPLICATION OF THE CLUTCH AND MORE THROTTLE TO PREVENT STALLING. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A DRIVEWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH A CLUTCH FOR OVER 30 YEARS ON BOTH CARS AND MOTORCYCLES. THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ON THIS CAR. THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS MANY OF THIS MODEL OF CAMARO THERE IS AN ONLINE FORUM THAT HAS AN IN DEPTH DISCUSSION…
