1995 CHEVROLET CAMARO Power Train Problems

I WAS HEADING NORTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND I CHANGED LANES FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT LANE. ONCE I CHANGED LANES MY CAR JERKED VICIOUSLY BACK TO THE LEFT I CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AND WENT BACK TO THE RIGHT, BUT THE CAR RAN OFF THE ROAD AND LOST THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL AND TIRE. THE TIRE WAS STILL INTACT WITH THE HUB AND AXLE (LUG NUTS WERE STILL CONNECTED ALL OF THEM WERE TIGHT.) THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. I BELIEVE I WRECKED BECAUSE MY REAR AXLE BROKE. AND FURTHER MORE MY AIR BAGS MUST HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT. THEY HAD DEPLOYED WHEN THE TOW TRUCKS BROUGHT THE CAR OUT OF THE HOLE. *NM

Mileage: 104,042

UNABLE TO DEPRESS SHIFT LEVER BUTTON WHEN VEHICLE IS COLD. BUTTON DOES WORK WHEN VEHICLE IS WARM. *AK

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND APPLYING BRAKES A LOW TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON, AND THERE ARE NO BRAKES. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER. WAS TOLD THAT SENSOR NEEDED TO REPLACE ON THE HUBS. *AK

ABS SYSTEM DOES NOT ALWAYS COME ON WHEN STARTING THE CAR. WHEN IT IS ON IT OFTEN MALFUNCTIONS. WHEN BRAKING, JUST BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE BRAKES LOCK UP THEN QUICKLY RELEASE, AND THE LOW TRACKING LIGHT COMES ON. *AK

INTERMITTENTLY WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND THE LOW TRACTION LIGHT ILLUMINATES, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE DEALER HAS REPAIRED VEHICLE THREE TIMES. *AK

THE REAR AXEL SEAL IS LEAKING AGAIN, THE TRIM GLUE IS MELTING ON ALL THE WINDOWS,THE FUEL PUMP OR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IS OCCURING AGAIN AND THE CAR BUCKS AND JERKS WITH ACCELERATION,THE DEALER STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT HAVE A GLUE THAT HOLDS UP IN HOT WHEATHER. ALSO THE SUN VISOR STRAPS MELTED AND STRETCHED. VIN# NOT WITH ME AT THIS TIME

WHEN I PUSH IN THE CLUTCH TO CHANGE GEARS, IT VIBRATES AND MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC AT SATURN AND HE SAYS IT IS THE THROW OUT BEARING. ANOTHER MECHANIC AT FIRESTONE SAYS THE SAME THING, AND THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE GOING OUT THAT EARLY. IT IS CONSTANTLY GETTING WORSE AND I AM FRUSTRATED THAT IT IS BAD.

I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AT 8,000 MILES. THIS CAR HAS ME AFFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT IS VERY UNREASOABLE THAT A DRIVESHAFT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT 26,000 MILES, OR THAT REAL AXELS ARE REPLACED THEN THEY LEAK AGAIN AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP WHEN IT WOULDN'T STOP AND WAS UNDER WARRANTEE. I MYSELF SCHEDULED A TOW, IT COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE THEY DIDN';T EVEN CARE. I CALLED GMC, AND THEY DON'T CARE EITHER. I HAVE A LEMON THAT I AM AFFRAID OFF. I ALSO DID NOT GET THE KEYLESS ENTRY THAT CAME WITH THIS VECHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I REALLY DIDN'T WANT IT ANYWAY. IT WAS TROUBLE BUT I PAID FOR IT. I NEVER GOT THE STICKER FROM THE WINDOW EITHER. I PAID 21,000 FOR THIS JUNK HEAP THAT IS A DANGER TO THE ROAD. I AM 52 AND DRIVE CAREFULLY AND BABY THIS CAR. I TALKED WITH GMC, AND THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN WHAT I HAVE TO SAY. WHAT WILL BRAKE NEXT? MY MECHANIC WAS APPALLED THAT THIS LAST THING. A DRIVE SHAFT ON A CAR FAILED WITH 26,000 MILES. SOMETHING IS WRONG. *AK
