Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When attempting to leave a friends house my 2000 chevy Camaro (3.8 l v6) would not stay running. After taking the car to the local mechanic it was discovered that the isc motor had blown. Dealers and the manufacturer could not locate an isc motor right away. It turns out that this motor is actually part of the vehicles throttle body. The part that malfunctioned can only be purchased separately for the 5.8l v8, or so we are told, whereas the 3.8l engine must purchase the entire component. …”
NHTSA complaint #10206225, filed 2007-10, 79,000 miles“I had a special policy sent to me for the catalytic converter on my 2000 Chevrolet Camaro. I took the car in to let them test to see if that was why my service engine light was on and it was. They ordered the part and I took it in for repair. Parts and labor were to be covered. The dealership calls me to inform me that my bolts were severly rusted and I would be responsible for the bolts if they broke. They had to remove the bolts regardless if they were rusted or not and I had to pay for the labor that was suppose to be covered. …”
NHTSA complaint #10183391, filed 2007-02, 93,000 miles“The vehicles check engine light came on. The catalytic converter failed per the diagnostic check at the dealership. The catalytic converter is covered by special 10 year or 120,000 mile warranty. The dealership says the good oxygen sensor is probably seized and it will break due to age when they replace the catalytic converter. They want us to pay $208 for a new oxygen sensor.”
NHTSA complaint #10231852, filed 2008-06, 83,000 miles“While driving in warm weather with the A/C on, the vehicle stalled when it came to a stop or when in heavy traffic. The vehicle could be restarted but would continue to stall until the vehicle was out of traffic. The diagnostic test could not determine the problem. The stalling occurred many times since the vehicle was purchased.”
NHTSA complaint #10044411, filed 2003-11, 9,000 miles“The catalytic converter has failed on the vehicle. The car failed emissions testing. Found out the warranty was 8 years/80,000 miles, so took the car to the dealer to diagnosis. Vehicle has 21,000 miles on it and GM refused to pay for the repair because they said the converter was rusted . Vehicle is 8 years old and only driven less than 3,000 miles annually and stored for 6 months out of the year. The problem with the converter has nothing to do with rust, the baffles are breaking up inside. Gm refuses to offer any assistance. …”
