TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STALLING. THE CAUSE OF FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AS A CORRODED CONNECTION OF THE FUEL PUMP WIRING IN THE TANK. THE WIRING OVERHEATED AND THE INSULATION HAD MELTED AS WELL. THE CONTACT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE, BUT IS CONCERNED THAT OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS FAILURE COULD STALL OR BURST INTO FLAMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 67,000.

I JUST PURCHASED 2001 CAMARO Z28 COVERTIBLE. I HAVE OWNED CAMARO'S FOREVER AND WAS NEVER ANYTHING BUT COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH IT. THIS CAR HAS SOME KIND OF "SHAKE" TO IT AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. THE STEERING WHEEL LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE IS IN THE COLUMN SHAKING IT! ALSO IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SPRINGS NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP THAT I DID NOT HEAR INITIALLY. THE CAR ONLY HAS 37K MILES ON IT. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE ALREADY AND BEING TOLD THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM EXCEPT FOR SOME KIND OF A COVERTIBLE SHAKE ISSUE WHICH COMPLETELY SOUNDS LIKE A JOKE AND THEY CAN'T PROVIDE THE BULLETIN THAT THEY SAY WAS ISSUED ON THIS CAR BUT WAS NO BIG DEAL. I ALSO TOOK IT TO ASE CERT. MECHANICS THAT ARE TELLING ME DIFFERENT, I JUST NEED SOME HELP SO I AM NOT TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS ON THIS CAR.

2001 CAMARO WITH LS1 ENGINE, HAVING TERRIBLE PISTION SLAP ISSIUE DUE TO POOR COOLING DESIGN OF CYLINDERS, GM IS FAILING TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. IT ONLY HAS 29000 MILES, NOW I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM....GOING TO TRY AND START A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. MY CAR NEEDS AN ENGINE AND GM WILL NOT REPLACE AT NO COST. *NM

MY 2001 CAMARO WITH LESS THAN 37K MILES WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR NEW BRAKES. NO REASON I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP OTHER THAN I WANTED NEW BRAKES THOUGH NOTHING SQUEAKED & I HAD NO TROUBLE. I DID NOT EXPECT TO BE TOLD I NEEDED NEW ROTORS AS THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THE CURRENT ROTORS WERE TOO THIN AND I NEEDED TO REPLACE THEM AS WELL AS THE PADS AND BRAKE LININGS. I WAS STUNNED AS THE CAR IS HARDLY DRIVEN BUT A MERE 8 MILES ROUND TRIP TO WORK & BACK THE LAST TWO YEARS. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE OTHER CALIFORNIA DEALERSHIP CAR WAS TAKEN TOO JUST 7 MONTHS PRIOR FOR BRAKE INSPECTION AT 33,713 WOULD HAVE ADVISED OF IMPENDING ISSUE? IN REVIEWING THE BRAKE INSPECTION PAPERWORK DATED 7/24/05 I CLEARLY NOTICED THE TECHS LACK OF ATTENTION TO EVEN FILLING IN THE PROPER BOXES IE: BRAKE LININGS. THE $1100 SPENT TO FIX PROBLEM IS NOT AN ISSUE. ITS THE SAFETY ISSUE! LOVE THE CAR & HAVE HAD 3 (95,97 & 2001) BUT AM LEARY TO DRIVE IT WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM WIT...
