2017 CAMARO PURCHASED CAR ON FEBRUARY 2017; RECENTLY MY CAR HAS BEEN SHOWING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVERY TIME I GO OVER A SPEEDBUMP OR POT HOLE OR ANYTHING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO AWAY IN A DAY OR TWO AFTER THAT. THE THIRD TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON, I GOT A READING DONE AT AUTOZONE, SHOWED IT WAS TRANSMISSION FLUIDS OR TRANSMISSION SENSOR. FEW DAYS AFTER THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND TOOK IT TO ED BOZARTH, WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR, SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO DETECT FOR A WHOLE WEEK FROM 11/24/2020 TO 11/30/2020 WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY FINALLY GOT BACK TO ME AND STATED MY CAR IS READING P0711 FOR TRANSMISSION FLUID SENOR PERFORMANCE AND THEY NEED TO REPLACE TWO TRANSMISSION HARNESS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS NOT SURE HOW IT HAPPEN OR WHAT CAUSED IT. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE PART OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN:15111 SPECIAL COVERAGE.

HELLO! I WANT TO REPORT GM ON THE INFAMOUS 8L45 TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. I HAVE HAD THE FLUID CHANGED IN 2018, THE TORQUE CONVERTER CHANGED IN 2018, AND THE FLUID FLUSHED WITH THE NA-18-355 BULLETIN BACK LAST YEAR. ALTHOUGH THE SHUDDER HASN'T RETURNED. I DON'T TRUST THAT THIS TRANSMISSION SHOWS QUALITY. I WORRY THAT THIS WILL LAST UNTIL OUR WARRANTIES ARE UP AND WE'RE ON OUR OWN. THIS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THIS IS A WEAK POINT OF THIS AMAZING CAR. I HAD ROUGH SHIFTING AND I'VE HAD SHIFTS THAT BUCKED. THIS IS NOT SAFE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL OR GM SHOULD GIVE EVERYONE A LONGER WARRANTY ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS.

STEERING WHEEL TORQUE SENSOR FAILED OPEN CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING. ERROR CODE C0545. THERE IS AN ACTIVE GM FACTORY RECALL FOR POWER STEERING FAILURE, RECALL NUMBER: N182182760 AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V086000. UNFORTUNATELY, MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. POWER STEERING FAILURE OCCURRED AT 27,280 MILES ON VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS A 2017 CHEVY CAMARO SS CONVERTIBLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT ON NAVAL STATION NORFOLK IN NORFOLK VA. A MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE CONSOLE READING SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE. AT THAT POINT STEERING THE CAR AT LOW SPEED REQUIRED SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. FORTUNATELY, THE FAILURE DID NOT OCCUR WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION OR ON AN ON/OFF RAMP OR IN TRAFFIC AS IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

WHEN I GOT HOME I NOTICED THAT THE SOFT TOP WAS MAKING NOISES WHEN IT WAS GOING UP AND AS I WAS CLOSING IT.

I CONTACTED TOM BELL CHEVY IMMEDIATELY AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THE 'UPHOLSTERY GUY' WHO I'VE NEVER MET IN MY LIFE. THEY GAVE ME A NUMBER TO CALL AND TOLD ME THAT THE PERSON OR COMPANY THEY USED TO REPLACE THE SOFT TOP THAT WAS RECALLED ON MY 2017 CAMARO WOULD COME TO MY HOME AND FIX THE ISSUE. IT HAS BEEN NOW MONTHS AND NO ONE HAS EVER CAME TO FIX IT NOR HAS TOM BELL CHEVY IN REDLANDS CALIFORNIA CALLED ME BACK. I E LEFT VOICEMAIL AFTER VOICEMAIL, EMAILED THEM MANY TIMES AND SENT TEXTS AND CALLED THE UPHOLSTERY PEOPLE BUT NO ONE HAS RETURNED MY CALLS OR EMAILS. THE VEHICLE IS DAMAGED AND IT WAS DONE BY WHOMEVER DID THE RECALL REPLACEMENT ON THE SOFT TOP. ALSO, THE SOFT TOP THAT MY VEHICLE WAS REPLACED WITH IS NASTY, VERY VERY CHEAP MATERIAL AND WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT FEELS LIKE THE ENTIRE CAR IS GOING TO FLIP OVER BECAUSE OF HOW THIN AND CHEAP MATERIAL THE SOFT TOP WAS REPLACED WITH. I NEED SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY SO THAT THIS ISSUE CAN GET FIXED.

I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FINALLY STATED THAT IT WAS A ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THEY HAD TO WAIT ON GM TO SEND SOME TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE MOST RECENT ISSUE I HAVE WITH MY 2017 CAMERO IS THAT THE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT CAME ON, THIS CAUSED MY CAR TO CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY REPAIRED THE STABILITY TRACK ISSUE BUT I NEED A NEW ENGINE OR TO HAVE THE ENGINE REBUILT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED A CODE#2 CYLINDER MISFIRE INTERNAL CODE DISPLAYED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT A NEW ENGINE WOULD COST ME AROUND $8900.00 PLUS LABOR. THEY STATED TO REBUILD IT IT WOULD BE OVER $10,000.00. THEY STATED MY WARRANTY WAS UP AT 60,000 MILES AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY OR GM CAN DO TO TO ASSIST ME. THIS IS THE FIRST CAR THAT I HAVE EVER PURCHASED AND IT 'S UNTHINKABLE THAT A ENGINE GOES OUT ON A CAR WITH 70,000 MILES ON IT. I ALSO KEPT UP WITH MY REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE . I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
