2012 Chevrolet Camaro

I purchased this vehicle July of this year and just drove it to find it pulled extremely to the right. I was told it was an alignment issue which they attempted to fix which seems successful in July coming off the offramp after first time on the highway and applying the brakes, the car shook side side, and then up and down. It felt like the car was coming apart. I again notified the dealer. I purchased it from and was reminded it was bought as his, but that they would do what they can to fix it so that I would feel safe driving it. Also upon purchase when it got dark, I could not see even the beam of the headlights that they promised to replace and have not as yet.

Parking brake failed because crimped stopper at end of cable coming from interior lever failed. The stopper appears to be made of very soft metal and does not have much contact area with wire rope portion of cable. According to the dealership this is a very common failure, however, Chevrolet has discontinued the part. The manner in which this failed should never have happened. The car is equipped with a manual transmission and requires a functioning parking brake. Had this broken while the vehicle was parked and I was out of the vehicle, it could have rolled away. There was no indication that this was going to fail prior to failure. I pulled up on the parking brake lever and it just suddenly failed.

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER WITH A FLUID LEAK AT TH PASSENGER REAR SIDE OF THE CAR.. IT WAS VERY MINOR, PRODUCING ONLY A SMALL "BASEBALL" SIZED STAIN IN MY DRIVEWAY OVER A 3 MONTH PERIOD. FLUID WAS GREASY AND STICKY. THE DEALER REPORTED THAT THE CLAMP FOR THE FILLER TUB WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED BUT RHE FACTORY. THEY SAID THEY REPAIRED IT BY REMOVING AND RECLAMPING IT ON. ONCE I RETURNED HOME WITH THE CAR, I HAD A WHOLE NEW PROBLEM. GAS NOW LEAKS OUT ON MY DRIVEWAY ANYTIME THE TANK IS ABOVE ONE-FOURTH FULL. THE FLUID ON THE DRIVEWAY IS DISTINCTLY GAS, WHEREAS BEFORE, IT DID NOT HAVE THE ODOR OR APPEARANCE OF GAS. IT WAS STICKY, MORE TACKY LIKE A GREASE. I RETURNED TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I HAVE A CRACKED GAS TANK. THEY WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THEY INADVERTENTLY CRACKED IT DURING THE PREVIOUS REPAIR. THIS ONLY LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT CHEVROLET HAS AN INHERENT ISSUE WITH THEIR GAS TANKS IN THAT THEY WILL CRACK WITHOUT CAUSE BY THE DRIVER. THIS CAR WAS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CHEVROLET. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 23,200 MILES ON IT AL THE TIME AND THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED DUE TO TIMING: THE 24 MONTHS WAS OVER IN APRIL 2018. THE "CRACKED" GAS TANK WAS DISCOVERED IN AUGUST. PLEASE REVIEW.

In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position.
