The tires spun out of control while going the speed limit and wearing a seatbelt. The brakes ultimately failed. The car had no functional safety features, and I couldn't control the steering. It went airborne and rolled over. The airbags failed to deploy after hitting a tree. My safety and others were put at risk, and I almost died from the accident. I suffer from life-threatening/altering injuries.

THE WHEEL WAS INSTANTLY CRACKED, THE WHEEL AND SPINDLE BENT. "SERVICE STABILITRACK" INSTANTLY CAME ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER, AND ALL THREE STABILITY INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. THE P-ZERO NERO TIRES ON THIS CAR ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR WET ROADS IN THE CITY. THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 50 DEGREES. THE CAMARO AND THESE TIRES MAKE IT UNSAFE, AND THE CAR SHOULD COME EQUIPPED DEFAULT WITH ALL-SEASON TIRES, NOT RACING Z-RATED SUMMER ONLY TIRES. REPAIR COST IS $1,500 AND THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS "PERFORMANCE" CAR.
