“I recently purchased a 2011 Camaro ss. This was a gift to my wife because she had always loved the Camaro. The car was purchased at a Chevrolet dealership. My wife drove the car home about 70 miles with no trouble at all. A few days later the temperature in north carolina dropped to around 40 deg and started to rain. My wife took my daughter to the store and she was unable to get above 30 MPH because the car was uncontrollable due to the rear end constantly fish tailing. I was called by her crying because she was so scared. …”
NHTSA complaint #10448536, filed 2012-02, 1,000 miles“Ac started to blow out really cold air (could see the cold air coming out) and would hear the compressor being turned on and off and then no more cold air would blow out. Took it in to the dealer and they said it was the condenser. Purchased a condenser and another mechanic said that the compressor would not turn on. Researched problems and seems that it has something to do with the control module not communicating with compressor to turn on and off. I can not find any recalls or a dealer that will repair this or if this is even what it is.”
