Just as a update in my situation i brought my car in and got a drive along with the Service Manager.....of course it took about 5 tries but I finally got it to grind in 2nd gear... they wrote up the complaint and told me that he would contact GM to see what is to be done. After over a week and multiple stops @ the dealership i was told by the service manager that all that GM can do is tear down the transmission to see whats the problem,and even then they would have to wait on GM on what to do so i could be stuck if they find nothing wrong!! I tried to explain that i KNOW what the problem is and numerous other Camaro owners are having the SAME issue. He said that GM responded to him that they knew of only 1 CASE...1 FREAKING CASE i know of 10 guys off the top of my head that has this problem. Unfortunately for me the delearship was booked and i'm taking R&R on Apr the 30th so i decided that i would just GRIND it out till after leave instead of riding around in some crappy rental. WRONG CHOICE ! about 6 days ago i was in the car with my wife and 7 month old coming back from the mall.... merging into the interstate... 1-2nd.... VRRRRRRROOOOM thats my FN stick popping out of 2nd gear my wife looked at me like WTH are you doing there a baby in the back i then had to explain to my wife that its not my fault that a truck almost rear ended us its GMs for making suck a crappy transmission!!! i dropped my wife and daughter off and went on a back road to simulate the fault again but it wouldn't duplicate......next day after PT....at a red light 1-2nd VRRRRRROOOM....happened again. i immediately went and drove to the dealership to explain to them why i shouldn't drive a vehicle that i now WILL NOT put my child because i don't feel its safe....they understood my concerns and offered to take my car in (2m). I just got off the phone with GM Customer Service.... i am now waiting a call from the regions service manager. Ive also printed out 6 of the pages of this thread to give to the dealership service manager. Hopefully will help his plea to GM to put a TSB. If something doesn't happen i see this quickly escalating I should NEVER have to worry about the safety of my family i literally wanted to drive that car in the lake after that happened.But guys i might need some of ya'll help. If you have a claim number or something that can help my cause as to say that this is a big FN problem....
