The engine makes a loud noise and sounds louder at running now, i hade it looked at and they said nothing is wrong there is something wrong it uses way to much gas and it makes to many noises. The engine just does not sound good and it makes a loud grounding noise.

I have almost had an accident twice based on the transmission not shifting properly and the car loosing traction between 1st and 2nd gear.

This caused a truck to almost ram the back of my car and another car almost hit me as i tried to get to the side of the highway. I was able to…

I was driving in the city and my 2014 chevy camaro 2lt rs stopped working. It just completely shut off while driving and the steering locked up. This is a big safety hazard as it could've happened on the highway. In order for the car to drive again, the car had to be put in park, turned off, and restarted. This happened multiple times in the past week and it keeps happening over and over. A recall is mandatory for…

I have the 2010 camaro v6, with only 67,700 miles. Like too many others, the check engine light came on and it gave a p0008 error code for premature timing chain wear. Why hasn't gm issued a recall for the camaro with this engine when they've issued a recall for nearly all other vehicles with this engine?!? I should not be facing an estimate of over $2,000 to replace the timing chain with only 67,200 miles!
