Example complaints

“When refueling the car, gas will spill out while filling the tank. There is some kind of issue with venting of the gas tank when refueling. There is no check engine light and the car runs fine. I called the local dealer and they said there is no recalls or TSB's for this issue, and the tech I spoke with said he has not heard of this issue. I have done searches on Camaro related technical web sites and its a known issue with the Camaro, firebird and transam community, but didn't find a resolution. Any help would be appreciated.”
NHTSA complaint #10240826, filed 2008-09, 123,000 miles“Driving along highway and suddenly my car begins to accelerate without pressing on gas pedal. Acceleration is stuck, I can't stop the car other than by riding the brakes or turning engine off. I reach speeds up to 90 miles an hour. When I cut the engine off, it causes loss of power, but luckily not steering. Turn engine back on and engine redlines (clutch let out). I pop clutch back in and car begins to accelerate again. Turn hazards on, cop then pulls up behind me telling me to pull over. Fear and anxiety compounded, but car still will not work. …”
NHTSA complaint #10088874, filed 2004-08, 33,500 miles“Engine stalls when coming to a stop. In addition, the battery volt gauge drops below 13. This doesn't happen every time I come to a red light, but it happens frequently enough. Also, after filling the vehicle with gas, the engine stalls almost immediately after it is started. (only when in drive).”
