2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO Steering Problems

Vehicle Shipped in Unsafe Driving Condition I purchased this vehicle from Cars2us with a clear understanding that the vehicle was in good working order. I paid $500 for shipping along with $3,000 cash down. I purchased it from out of state so I had to have the vehicle shipped to my work site. When I received the vehicle off the trailer, it was borderline underivable due to the rack and pinion and power steering system being faulty. I immediately contacted the dealer and he agreed to have it repaired and advised me to “take it to a mechanic you trust”! I did so and the mechanic called me to inform me that the manager of the dealership tried to convince him to put junkyard parts on the vehicle to fix it. The mechanic was infuriated and insulted by this and advised me to contact an attorney. I paid the full...

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 1 YEAR. WHEN I GET TO 55MPH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKE SO BAD, IT'S UNBEARABLE. THIS HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALIGNMENT. THEY ALIGNED FOR ME. WELL IT RAN PRETTY GOOD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN IT STARTED BACK SHAKING. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS OR BRAKES OR SOMETHING TO THAT NATURE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A 18 WHEELER WHEN I STOP. THE ROTORS OR SOMETHING MAKE SOME KIND OF WOBBLING NOISE WHEN I DRIVE. I TURN THE RADIO DOWN QUITE OFTEN SO I CAN HEAR IF ANYTHING IS COMING OFF FROM THE BRAKES. I'M NOT PARANOID, BECAUSE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR ASK ME ALL THE TIME, "WHAT'S THAT NOISE". FOR ME TO HAVE A DECENT CAR LIKE THE CAMARO, I DON'T UNDERSTAND....

I JUST BOUGHT A 2010 CHEVY CAMARO ON DECEMBER 30TH FROM A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR DEALER AND WITHIN A MONTH LATER THE POWER-STEERING PUMP FAILS AND I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. IT WAS ONE OF THE COLDEST DAYS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS, IT'S BEEN A VERY BAD WINTER FOR THE NORTHEAST PART OF THE US. IN LESS THEN AN HOUR BEFORE THIS HAPPENED THE CAR WAS DRIVING NORMALLY FROM SUPERMARKET TO PHARMACY TO THE RESTAURANT WHERE I BOUGHT LUNCH, WHICH ARE ALL IN A 7/8 BLOCK RADIUS FROM MY HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME I COULDN'T FIND A PLACE TO PARK NEAR MY HOUSE BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A WHOLE LOT OF PARKING SPACES IN SOUTH PHILADELPHIA WHERE I LIVE, PLUS THERE'S A CORNER BAR ON THE CORNER WHO'S CUSTOMERS DON'T LIVE AROUND HERE, SO I PARKED ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY. NOT EVEN AN HOUR LATER A SPOT OPENED UP IN...

TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON INTERSTATE 80 FROM RENO TO SAN FRANCISCO 55-65 MPH, WITHOUT WARNING MY 2010 CAMARO HAD 100 % LOSS OF ALL POWER AND OPERATING FUNCTIONS; OUT OF CONTROL DOWN THE MOUNTAIN DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY JAMMING INTO THE GUARDRAIL, TRAPPING MYSELF IN CAR.
