NHTSA Complaint #10598486 — 2012 CHEVROLET CAMARO

AS I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 85 MY CAR SUDDENLY LOSS POWER IT DID NOT CUT OFF COMPLETELY BUT IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS SHUTTING DOWN. IT SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ANY FASTER. LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO WORK AND TOOK THE STREET ROUTE AND MADE IT TO WORK. THE ENGINE LIGHT DID COME ON AND IT SAID IT WAS LOW ENGINE POWER. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WITHIN 3 MONTHS. I CALLED ONSTAR THE FIRST TIME AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC WHICH CAME BACK SAYING SERVICE ENGINE WITH SOME OTHER DYNAMICS I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. ONCE I GOT TO WORK AND CUT THE CAR OFF I CUT IT OFF THEN TRIED TO START IT AGAIN TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESET ITSELF BUT THIS TIME IT WOULDN'T START. CALLED CHEVY AND THEY SAID TO WAIT A COUPLE HOURS AND TRY IT AGAIN OTHERWISE I WOULD NEED TO TOW IT THERE. I WAITED TWO HOURS THEN CHECKED AND IT CRANKED RIGHT UP AND ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF, CALLED CHEVY BACK AND THEY SAID IT PROBABLY WAS JUST COMPUTER PROBLEMS. NOW THIS IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR THREE DAYS. BUT AGAIN IT WENT AWAY AFTER THAT. I'M STARTING TO THINK THAT ITS JUST SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE AND NEXT TIME I WONT BE SO LUCKY. *TR
