1994 CHEVROLET CAMARO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINE MELTED NEAR THE CHECK VALVE, WHICH CAUSED THE FAILURE. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 139,000.

MY 2010 CAMARO THAT WAS PURCHASED NEW HAD 36,280 MILES ON IT WHEN IT FAILED THE REQUIRED EMISSION TEST DO TO THE CRANKSHAFT (TIMING BELTS) BEING BAD . I HAVE CONTACTED GMC AND HAVE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP IN HOMEWOOD IL TO ASSIST ME IN THE REPAIRS AS THE REPAIRS WERE $1,700.00. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36,000 MILES OR 6 YEARS. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND GMC ARE AWARE THE THIS YEAR AND MODEL CAR HAS THIS ENGINE PROBLEM AND ARE NOT WILLING TO CORRECT THEM CAUSING THE OWNERS TO REPAIR THE ISSUE AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS CAR COST AROUND $38,000 DOLLARS TO PURCHASE NEW.

I HAVE A CHEVROLET CAMARO Z28 1994, QUITE OFTEN THE ABS INOPERABLE LIGHT COMES ON, MEANING THE ABS OR ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IN WHICH THE SEVERITY OF THE ABS OPERATING IS CRUCIAL TO PREVENTING ACCIDENTS. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, AT ANY GIVEN SPEED AND IT TERRIFIES ME WHEN I SEE IT. I AM UNAWARE OF WHAT BECAUSE OF THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE IS. I ALSO OWNED A PONTIAC FIREBIRD 1997 THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, MOREOVER THESE TWO CARS ARE BASICALLY THE SAME EXCEPT FOR THE BODY. THIS IS A GM PROBLEM IN LIEU OF BOTH CARS BEING MADE BY GM. I HAVE NOT BEEN INFORMED OF ANY RECALL NOR HAVE I SEEN THIS ISSUE ON ANY RECALL LIST, ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEMS HAVE BECOME STANDARD ON ALL VEHICLES DUE TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PREVENTING ACCIDENTS AND I HAVE ALSO READ MANY COMMENTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CAREFUL CONSIDERATION MOREOVER INVESTIGATION. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS WEBSITE WHERE CONSUMERS ARE ABLE TO VOICE THESE DEFECTS THAT AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURERS SWEEP UNDER THE RUG. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM YOU AND THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE TURNING THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FUEL LINES MELTED DURING THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 93V199000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FIRE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

FOR NO APPARENT REASON, MY ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER LIGHTS, A/C & AIR CONTROL KNOB LIGHTS, AND THE LIGHT FOR THE SHIFTER ALL STOPPED WORKING. ALSO, MY TRIP ODOMETER DOES NOT FUNCTION EITHER. I CHECKED THE FUSE PANEL LOCATED ON THE LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND NOTICED I WASN'T MISSING ANY OF THEM & NONE WENT BAD EITHER. WHAT ELSE COULD BE CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN? OBVIOUSLY IT'S AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OF SOME SORT.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING IN HER VEHICLE. SHE DROVE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL LINE WAS MISROUTED, WHICH CAUSED IT TO STRIKE THE AIR PRESSURE EXHAUST AREA, BURN, AND LEAK FUEL. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 93V199000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS); THEREFORE, THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

THE AIR BAG IN MY CAMARO DEPLOYED AT THE SPEED OF 20 MPH COMING OUT AT 200 MILES PER HOUR; 2,000 LBS. OF PRESSURE PER SQUARE INCH AND THE FORCE OF A 12-GUAGE-SHOTGUN BLAST (ACCORDING TO YOUR WEBSITE AND OTHER RESEARCH- WHICH I HAVE A FULL OUTLINE ON, COMPLETE WITH SOURCES) IN MY FACE. HAD THE AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED, I WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE, WHERE THE SHOULDER HARNESS AND/OR SEATBELT WOULD HAVE MORE THAN SUFFICED. THE WARNING POSTED ON THE DASH AND STEERING WHEEL OR VISOR IS FOR CHILDREN UNDER 12; HOWEVER, I STAND 61 INCHES IS TALL AND 112 POUNDS; THE AVERAGE 12-YEAR OLD IS ABOUT THIS SIZE. THERE IS NO WARNING FOR SMALL WOMEN. THE AIR BAG CAUSED A FRONTAL LOBE INJURY, (I WAS UNCONSCIOUS FOR 45 MINUTES) A BROKEN NOSE, ABRASIONS ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE, RUPTURED TWO DISCS IN MY NECK (C5 AND C6) AND FURTHER INJURING MY SPINAL CORD (MYLEOMALACIA). THE RUPTURED DISCS IN MY NECK ARE PRESSING INWARDS AGAINST MY SPINAL CORD, AND THE RESULTING SPINAL CORD AND NERVE COMPRESSION ARE AFFECTING PRIMARILY MY HANDS, AS WELL AS MY NECK, LEFT SHOULDER, SHOULDER BLADE AND LEG MOVEMENTS. THE PAIN IS HORRENDOUS-THE NERVE PAIN. THIS COST ME MY CAREER AS A LEGAL SECRETARY OF 23 YEARS BECAUSE THE NERVES THAT ARE AFFECTED ARE PRIMARILY IN MY HANDS. I HAVE TO HAVE SURGERY OR I MIGHT PICK UP A SUITCASE ONE DAY AND PARALYZE MYSELF, ACCORDING TO MY NEUROLOGIST. I HAVE APPLIED FOR DISABILITY AND AWAITING THE ROUND OF APPEALS AS IT ALWAYS GOES HERE IN TEXAS. I AM NOT MARRIED AND HAD NO OTHER RESOURCES. I LOST MY CAR, MY HOUSE AND MY HEALTH DUE TO THIS AIR BAG. THERE ARE TWO ISSUES HERE: 1) THE SENSITIVITY OF THE AIR BAG; THE SPEED AT WHICH IT HIT ME AND THE SUBSEQUENT PERMANENT INJURIES; AND 2) THE LAW THAT STILL SAYS IF YOU HIT SOMEONE IN THE REAR, IT IS AUTOMATICALLY YOUR FAULT. THERE ARE MANY STAGED ACCIDENTS WHERE THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS TO PAY AND PEOPLE ARE INJURED, ALL FOR THE SAKE OF GETTING LARGE SUMS OF MONEY FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANIES. *JB

WHEN IT'S BEEN RAINING THE BRAKES DON'T FUNCTION VERY WELL! I HAVE LITERALLY STOOD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND HAD TROUBLE STOPPING THE CAR! THE TIRES AREN'T LOCKING UP, SO IT'S NOT AN ABS PROBLEM! I KNOW OF SEVERAL OTHERS WHO HAVE ALL HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS! A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED THE ENTIRE FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM WITH EITHER AN AFTERMARKET SYSTEM OR BY USING THE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM OFF OF THE 1998 AND NEWER CAMARO. ALL HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASE WITH THE RESULTS! FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH THE BRAKES DON'T WORK THAT WELL WHEN THERE ISN'T ANY RAIN! I KNOW AT LEAST ONE PERSON I CAN THINK OF THAT HAS TOTALED HIS CAR IN THE RAIN CAUSE THE BRAKES DIDN'T WANT TO STOP THE CAR, AND I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE MY SELF! IT'S REALLY SCARRY TO PUSH THE BRAKES AND NOT STOP! THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE ON 1993-1997 MODELS. *AK

AUTO TRANSMISSION STARTS OUT IN 2ND GEAR FOR NO REASON. I BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIX. AFTER 10 TRYS I WANT THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. OBVIOUSLY TECHNICIANS ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO FIX PROBLEM. I TRIED TO SELL THE CAR AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL BECAUSE IT STARTED OUT IN 2ND GEAR WHEN SOMEONE WAS TEST DRIVING IT. WHAT GOOD IS THE WARRANTY DOING ME?!?!! THE DIFFERENTIAL-(LOUD NOISE) WAS FINALLY FIXED AFTER THE 3RD TIME OF GOING INTO THE SHOP. YOU SHOULD NOT SELL A GM PROTECTION PLAN IF YOU DO NOT "PLAN" TO BACK UP YOU PRODUCT!!!
