Call the 800 number listed in the first post and tell them when they answer that you are in the UK. They should be able to handle it from there. If you have any problems, let me know. Good luck. Pete |

Dear Mr Reuss:
Thank you for your response, I do understand that you are a very busy man so I do appreciate you responding and hopefully helping me with my Camaro situation. I purchased my 2010 Camaro V6 Victory Red LT in Sepetember 2010 (2G1FB1EV0A9225453). At 3917 miles, the transmission fluid cooler intake pipe broke. This leaked all the transmission fluid from my car. I called OnStar to get a diagnostic on the car because no warning lights came on to indicate a problem. OnStar said all systems were functioning at that time. I drove the car to my sisters house where I had my brother in law to look at it. He said it was transmission fluid that was coming out of the car...I'm use to transmission fluid being red so I thought it was just where I has the A/C running. I could hardly get the car in reverse to get it home. The next morining, I took the car to the dealer. The car wouldn't hardly move pressing the gas to the floor by the time I got it there. The dealer did replace the in take pipe. However, the care didnt run the same when I picked it up. The transmission was slipping at times. Needless to say, I took the car back to Hampton Chevrolet. The service manager Mike and I went on a test ride. It did slip once while we were on the highway and I asked him if he felt that and hear it. He replied, "I'm a little hard of hearing and what I felt was normal shifting." I was livid, why does someone hard of hearing go on a test ride. I then took the car back again, Gordon Heist a GM field rep test drove it without me and said he couldnt find a problem. I checked the mileage and I couldn't tell where the car had been driven. The Mr. Heist came out with someone from RK Chevrolet in Va Beach, we went on a test ride and Mr. Heist said there was nothing wrong with the way the car was shifting. I asked them both the same question I asked Mike. What happens to a transmission that has been running with no transmission fluid. I still have not gotten a straight answer to that question yet. All I want is a new transmission in the car. I do not think that is an unreasonable request for what has happened to the car. I'm not asking for a new car, or my money back. I love my Camaro. This is not the first Camaro I've owned. I have been a Chevy girl all my life. I have had vettes, camaro's, lumina's, corsica's. I have take it in again, and they checked for transmission updates for improved shifting. Since then a new set of problems have occured. The panel dash lights go black, a grinding noise when u first start it in the morning, the trunk popped open once while driving, a noise is now coming from the brakes, and it sounds like a pop when the brakes are applied like something is wrong with the suspension. I have spent almost every other Saturday at the dealer. I was told by Mr Lewis owner of Hampton Motor Corp to take it to another dealer. I asked for the computer read out for the problem codes and that has never happened. I took the car to Casey Chevrolet, and Rick the service manager did show me that the problem codes could be printed but the computer on my car had already been reset by Mr Heist your field rep. Mr. Reuss, I have a burning smell as well coming from the car which I expect is from the transmission. I haven't had a mechanic yet check for metals in the transmission fluid. These are some of the problems I've encountered so far. So, what can we do now? Mr Heist refuses to replace my transmission. So where do we go from here? Thank You in adavance for your response!!!

Many Problems
Wow, lots of problems out there! I got my 2011 Wht/Org 2lt rs a month ago. So far no issues, but you all make me nervous with the things I have read. I love the car, hope it stays that way.

ISSUE UPDATE: I paid the service dept. to change the front diff fluid, because I suspected it was not fully engaging. I had that experience with the SS's throwout slave cylinder and GM fixed it after 4 or 5 phone calls and 3 trips to the service department. We got an ice storm in Atlanta and I had to use the 4WD in an emergency situation. WOW, the fluid change loosened up the actuator and the 4wd runs perfect. I have run in 4wd several times since with no issues. I mentioned this possibility to both GM shops, but it was ignored. The actuator (or whatever it's really called) could in NO way have been effected by a lift. Let GM know I would be willing go into mediation to determine the status of the remaining drivetrain warranty. Either you or I can post their response on this forum, I'm betting some of our fellow C5'ers would be interested in what to expect from GM. |
