INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF IGNITION. HAVE HAD CAR TOWED NUMEROUS TIMES CAUSED BY FAILURE OF IGNITION TO WORK. CAR WOULD THEN START, THEN FAIL TO START. PLEASE CONSIDER ADDING THE CAMARO SS 2001 TO THE GM IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE RECALL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW, HAVING HEARD A FAULTY GM IGNITION SWITCH HAS CAUSED ENGINES ON CERTAIN GM CARS TO FAIL WHILE CAR IS MOVING, RESULTING IN 13 FATALITIES. THE FIRST INCIDENT DATE OF MY CAR'S FAILURE TO START IS APPROXIMATE; THE PROBLEM GOES BACK SEVERAL YEARS. APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AGO, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY DEALERSHIP AFTER IT REFUSED TO START AT A NEARBY STOP. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED MY IGNITION KEYS AND FOUND THEM OKAY, BUT WENT NO FURTHER IN TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR FAILED TO START JUST TWO WEEKS AGO AFTER I CAME OUT OF A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT, WHEREUPON I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOME. THE CAR THEN DECIDED TO START THREE DAYS LATER. THEN, I SAW OF THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH RECALL ON THE NEWS. I REFUSE TO TRY TO USE THE CAR UNTIL THE SITUATION CAN BE DIAGNOSED BY GM OR THE LAW. *TR

MY BABY, A 2001 CAMARO CONVERTIBLE, 6 CYLINDER, HAS HAD THREE FUEL SYSTEM ISSUES. I JUST SAW THE RECALL FOR 2012-13 CHEVY'S FOR FUEL SYSTEM ISSUES AND AM HOPING SOMEONE WILL LOOK INTO THE 2001 AND SEE IF THIS MODEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT A RECALL NOTICE. IN APPROX 2004 ON WAY TO MILITARY CONFERENCE MY CAR STALLED WHILED PULLING OUT FROM GAS STATION. IT HAD BEEN STALLING WEEK PRIOR BUT WAS THOUGHT TO BE BECAUSE OF BAD GAS...IT'S FINAL STALL WAS OF COURSE ON THE WAY TO A MILITARY FUNCTION WHERE I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN LATE. IT WAS TOWED TO JEFF GORDAN'S CHEVY, WILMINGTON, NC AND APPROX $1400 LATER I HAD A NEW FUEL PUMP AND ?? . RAN GREAT AGAIN UNTIL APPROX LATE 2010 OR EARLY 2011. ALMOST GOT T-BONED DOING A TURN WITH INCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN MY BABY STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING TO THE CLOSEST MECHANIC, FIRESTONE ON GEN BOOTH, VA BEACH 23454 AFTER IT HAD BEEN STALLING ALL WEEK-MILEAGE APPROX 85,000. ONCE AGAIN WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP, APPROX $1500 WE WERE GOOD TO GO AGAIN. NOW, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CODE THAT CAME UP WAS A GENERAL CODE FOR SOMETHING WITH FUEL SYSTEM BUT THEY NEED TO DROP GAS TANK ONCE AGAIN TO BE ABLE TO CORRECTLY DIAGNOSE PROB. I'M HOPING SOMEONE WILL LOOK BACK AT 2001 CHEVY'S AND SEE IF A RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN LISTED FOR THAT YR ALSO. SOUNDS LIKE VERY SIMILAR SYMPTOMS. 2 FUEL PUMPS IN 6 YEARS SEEMS EXCESSIVE TO ME AND OTHER MECHANICS THANKS FOR LOOKING INTO THIS.

NUMEROUS THINGS HAVE GONE WRONG WITH MY 2001 MONTE CARLO. 5 OR 6 TIMES THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPAIRED THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WHERE IT CONTINUALLY POPS OUT. I AM REALLY CONCERNED WHEN IT MIGHT EXPLODE W/O A CRASH OR IF THERE IS A DRIVER SIDE CRASH IF IT WILL COME OUT TO PROTECT ME. STEERING AND FRONT SUSPENSION POPS. AT 55,117 MILES WE HAD THE OIL CHANGED (WHICH HAS BEEN DONE EVERY 3000 MILES) OR LESS AND ON THE MULTI POINT INSPECTION SHEET, IT LISTED SEVERAL THINGS THAT "MIGHT NEED ATTENTION" SOON. THEY ARE STEERING LINKAGE AND STEERING COMPONENTS, CV AXLE BOOTS OR DRIVE SHAFT AND U JOINTS. THESE THINGS SHOULD NOT BE WORN OUT ON A CAR WITH NO MORE MILES THAN THIS. MY REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER DOESN'T WORK. NOTICED THIS AFTER ONE OF THE AIRBAG REPAIRS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF BUT STILL THE NOISES PERSIST AND NOW TO BE TOLD THAT THESE PARTS MIGHT NEED REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT? WE PAID A LOT OF GOOD MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE (THIS IS A LIMITED EDITION HIGH SPORT VEHICLE) AND FEEL GM SHOULD BUY IT BACK AND REIMBURSE EVERY DIME OF IT DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY OF IT OR PROPERLY REPAIRED OR PARTS REPLACED AT GM EXPENSE WHILE PROVIDING AN EQUAL VALUE VEHICLE WHILE REPAIR WORK IS DONE. *TR

VEHICLE REFUSED TO START. PROBLEM TRACED TO IN-TANK FUEL PUMP CONNECTION WHICH HAD CORRODED. POTENTIAL TO SPARK AND START A FIRE, VEHICLE MIGHT STALL SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. *TR
