2013 Chevrolet Camaro Electronic stability control Problems

“The vehicle is equipped with a hill assist feature for manual transmission cars. It does not release properly or activates improperly. The vehicle holds excessively long on inclines, will not release when trying to pull into traffic or even activates on level ground with no incline! I have complained multiple times to the general motors service department when I take it in for service and it has been checked repeatedly. It is always operating as designed! …”

“When turning into a parking lot, my power steering went out and the service power steering message appeared. It has happened multiple times since then. It only happens at low speed maneuvering (<12mph). The following happens once the problem is created: power flickers on the car; the AC resets, radio resets, power steering goes out, and the following messages display: service power steering service stability control and open and close passenger window . I took the vehicle to the Chevrolet dealer, and they told me the electric steering assembly needs to be replaced. …”

“I have a manual v8 model. Whenever stopped on an incline, the hill start assist (hsa) engages. The first time I gave it plenty of throttle and the brakes would not disengage and caused me to stall. The 2nd time, I had the RPM very high and again the brakes would not disengage. My car was jumping up and down under the strain. When it finally released the car, I was greeted with the smell of burning clutch. This cannot be normal. I don't think hitting 2000 RPM and dropping the clutch should be a normal method to overcome teh hsa system. …”

“Normal street driving, metal on metal noise from front wheels. Apply brake, noise stops. Release brakes, noise begins again. Dealership states brake pads have about 8-10mm left on them. Three times at highway speeds (65-75 MPH) service stabilitrak warning light comes on and traction control light, limited slip light comes on. No metal on metal noise when stabilitrak failing. Park overnight, car start in morning, stabilitrak is working again. Metal on metal noise is heard at all speeds from first start till shut down for night.”

“This is my second complaint about the hill assist feature on this manual transmission vehicle. The feature is designed to automatically hold the brakes on an incline and is supposed to release on application of the throttle. It does not work as it should! It engages randomly even when not on an incline and does not release quickly enough to prevent engine stalling or excessive wear to the clutch by over revving the engine to prevent it from stalling! This cause a burning smell and excessive wear to the clutch! …”
