    I have what i believe a heater core going bad. With the heat on i have a very strong maple syrup smell and my windshield fogs up really bad when it is cold out. I only have 30k miles on my camaro and rarely use the heat. It is obviously leaking. It us a dangerous situation where many people are complaining about this problem. It can get difficult to see when your entire windshield fogs up, also breathing in the…

    I noticed coolant leaking into passenger floorboard. The car was taken into the dealership and it was diagnosed with a leaking heater core. I started doing some research and found that several other camaro owners have had this same issue, and during my research found a gm technical service bulletin for this heater core failure. (# pip-5457a) the dealership is wanting to charge for the new heater core, a windshield…

    The ac compressor in vehicle keeps going out. Its been replaced 3 times since october 2014. It does not cool vehicle, mechanics have checked for leaks and other issues that may be causing it to go out but it just seems to be a bad oem part. After each fix the ac works for about a month or less before going out again. Now the company is refusing to send a replacement or an upgraded part for a fix that is under…

    Strange smell coming from ac for a while. 2 weeks ago ac stopped working completely. Took it to mechanic told me it was the evaporator core. He replaced it and it was very expensive and tedious job. Read some forum and other were complaining about the same smell and eventually the same problem. A car with only 60,000 miles should not have this problem. *tr

    While sitting at a stop light for a busy intersection, the check engine light and message appeared with the statements engine power reduced and service stabilitrak. I was able to pull off into a parking lot and shut the car down for a restart. Upon restart, the messages continued. I researched my owner's manual in which it said given these messages, the car was safe to drive but needed to be checked out. I attempted…

    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…

    My husband and i was out and waiting to pull into a parking space and the car just shut down, without any warning and after the fact that it shut down it gave a message of "reduced engine power". He continuously tried to start the car back up with no luck. We contacted onstar who stated that the car needed to be on for them to give a diagnostics. We waited for about an hour and the car started back up but the engine…
