This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
A continued grinding noise from right rear wheel. Vehicle been in dealer shop on several occasions, and still unable to correct the problem. The brake system failure is due to defect in vehicle. There is noise in brake, in rear differential area and there is a shimmey steering wheel when braking due to rotors failure. The vehicle makes grinding sound on hard right turns due to rear brake lining failure. There is a noise from rear right wheel due to right rear cliper improper clearance. There is a rattling noise from under the vehicle caused by catalytic converter.
There are instances of severe jerking to either left or right when applying the brakes. This is an intermittent problem that is unpredictable and unexpected. It is most noted at slower speeds, probably because it is less expected. Despite the single date and mileage listed in this report, it has happened throughout the life of the vehicle. The dealer has replaced brake pads once without curing the problem. This is an accident waiting to happen.
Brakes have been replaced 3 times within the 11 months of owning the car, brakes were squealing and shaking when stopping. Mechanic said brakes were warped. Each time rotors and brakes had to be replaced. Electrical system malfunctons causeing lights to dim. Defroster component failed. T-tops leaks continue after fixing it several times.
I bought my vehicle new 7 months ago. Now the brake system is getting worse. The front-end, steering wheel, shakes violently when I apply the brakes during normal driving. I took the car to the dealership to inquire about the problem 3 days ago, and the service man told me it was probably warped front rotors so I made an appointment for today. I went in and the service man (a different one) told me that they could fix it, but that it wasn't covered under warranty. This is what upsets me most. The vehicle is still under the warranty period. I have been driving the car under normal conditions, so why do I still have to pay for the rotors to be fixed? this is a known problem with the 1998 and newer Camaro's and should be covered under the bumper-to-bumper warranty.
