For me, I try do this at a stop before driving even start as (soon as I am backed out of the driveway and put the shifter in M). Although I have done it as a slow roll.

But it's agreed by all that when using this method to disable it, it only stays off while in paddle-shift mode, and comes back on if you re-enter "sport" mode by holding down the "+" paddle for 2 seconds, right?
Reason I ask is that I don't ever feel it in paddle shift mode, only in "sport" and "drive" modes. Would like to know if there is a way to disable it in sport mode. |

I sent a letter to the Service Director at my dealership asking for their assistance. They forwarded my letter to GM, and here is the response that I received:

As for me, I'm convinced that I'll just give up the warranty. I love my camaro, and I'm at a point in my life where I can afford to build a new engine if I needed to. Time to play.

Pretty weak answer GM.......... GM has become a political BS story much like our government.... never answer the question asked and give the people a generic answer... If I didn't love my Camaro like I do.... I would never buy a GM product..... what a joke..... Does the Mustang automatic have AFM???? |

I wouldn't have a problem with this BS, if they just come clean. I can then make a decision on what to do with the car. Without making major mods for more power, I think it would be foolish on my part just to put in a tune so that AFM can work properly.

I 2 would have probably bought a Std had I known how the AFM worked. Salesman said I wouldn't even know when it kicks in our out. (I did not know about this site until after I ordered the car.) He was and is WRONG. It sounds like a 4cyl rice burner in 4 cyl mode, even with stock exhaust. It also seems to shudder and surge when changing modes. when it changes modes and has a pause when I add a little gas before it switches back to 8 cyl mode.
I have kinda reconciled myself to the feel but still hate it. The system is a POS. I would not mind having the system if I could configure it so I could turn it off or on. |

Please express your displeasure with your service manager (not just a service advisor). Have them escalate it up to their regional manager. The more they hear this, maybe the more they will get into fixing it.

Sorry but a newbie to the AFM issue, but when driving mine is the AFM sound like the transmission shifts to higher gear than needed(5th gear when 3rd or 4th would be better)? Or is it a different sound completely?

Yep... that's sort of what it sounds like. If your car is stock it's barely noticeable...
