NHTSA Complaint #10575737 — 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO

THIS CAMARO HAS BEEN IN OUR FAMILY SINCE AUGUST 2011, AS A DAILY DRIVER FOR MY WIFE, PURCHASED FROM A GM CERTIFIED USED DEALER. LEAVING THE PARKING LOT FROM A TRIP TO WALMART TODAY, NOT EVEN GOING 10MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN STATING "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED", WITH BOTH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND THE STABILITY TRAC LIGHT ON. WE WERE ABLE TO LIMP HOME UNDER 40MPH. NOTHING IS NOTICEABLY WRONG, BUT NOW THE CAR RUNS ON A ROUGH IDLE, IT'S SITTING STATIONARY FOR NOW. DOING RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH LS3'S, MOSTLY HAVING TO DO WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ITSELF OR ACCOMPANYING SENSORS. I'M GOING TO CHANGE TO THROTTLE BODY AND GO FROM THERE. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT WHY ISN'T THIS PROBLEM A RECALL WORTHY ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH 2010 CAMARO'S, AND MANY OTHER GM VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR WITH A V8 ENGINE NOT NECESSARILY THE LS3. WHY DOES IT TAKE LOSS OF LIFE FOR GM TO FIX A MAJOR CONSISTENT PROBLEM. I AM REALLY LOSING FAITH IN THIS COMPANY AND IT'S PRODUCTS. OUR 2010 CAMARO SS SHOULD NOT BE THE VEHICLE SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY BROKEN DOWN OVER A 2001 CAMARO SS AND A 2002 S10 TRUCK. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE QUALITY OF GM VEHICLES THESE DAYS? IF THEY STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT, THEN THEY NEED OWN UP TO ITS SHORTCOMINGS. *TR
