1998 Chevrolet Camaro Power Train

CHEVROLET REFUSED TO REPAIR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. LOST SECOND AND FOURTH GEAR AS WELL AS REVERSE. *AK

UPON TAKE OFF, TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING NOISE AND DID NOT WANT TO GO INTO SECOND GEAR. TRIED BACKING UP AND REVERSE WAS GONE. CAR WILL SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR WITH HELP. CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY AND TRANSMISSION SERVICED AT REQUIRED TIME. PRESENTLY AWAITING WORD FROM CHEVY TO SEE IF THEY WILL REPLACE TRANSMISSION AT NO COST OR LITTLE COST AS MILEAGE IS LOW AND CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED.*AK

DRIVESHAFT HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES, CONSUMER STATES THAT IT SEEMS TO FAIL EVERY 10,000 MILES AND DOES NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *SLC

CLUCH STUCK WHILE DEPRESSED AND ENGINE WAS ENGAGED. GEAR SHIFT WAS STUCK IN REVERSE. CAR WAS MOVING BY ITSELF AND WOULD NOT STOP WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. COULD NOT FORCE IT OUT OF GEAR OR GET CLUTCH TO RELEASE. HAD TO PULL EMERGENCY BRAKE TO GET CAR TO STOP AND ENGINE TO KILL. AFTER CAR DIED TRIED TO TURN THE KEY TO SEE IF CLUTCH WOULD COME UP WHEN KEY WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION AND CAR STARTED AGAIN AND BEGAN TO MOVE ON IT'S OWN. AGAIN, I KILLED ENGINE BY PULLING EMERGENCY BRAKE. EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO FORCE CAR OUT OF GEAR WHILE IT WAS OFF AND THEN HAD TO FORCE CLUTCH UP AND WORK IT BACK AND FORTH UNTIL IT LOOSED UP AND CAR COULD BE MOVED FORWARD, BACK INTO OUR DRIVEWAY.

TRANSMISSION & TORQUE CONVERTER HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 54,000 MILES. EASY, HIGHWAY MILEAGE ONLY ON VEHICLE. I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS FOR MAINTENANCE OF VEHICLE SINCE DAY PURCHASED. VEHICLE MAINTAINED IN STRICT ADHERENCE TO OWNER'S MANUAL LONG TRIP/HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. *AK

LEFT REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEAL FAILED. *ET

WINSHIELD WIPERS OCCASIONALLY FAILED TO OPERATE, DEALER REPLACED MODULE. RECALL ISSUED ON THE SAME PART FOR THE 1996 CHEV S10. *AK *ML

AXLE DRAG CAUSED CAR TO PULL HARD TO LEFT. FAILURE COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT.

MY CAR HAS DONE A 'TINK-TINK' SOUND SINCE I TOOK IT OUT OF THE DEALER WITH ONLY 8 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. EVERY TIME I PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, IT MAKES A DOUBLE TINK-POP FROM UNDER. WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, IT SOUNDS AGAIN, AND SOMETIMES SOUNDS AS THE TRASMISSION CHANGES GEARS (AUTOMATIC) OR YOU BRAKE. I'M CONCERNED THAT IT COULD BREAK WHILE DRIVING, AND CAUSING A POTENTIAL HAZARD WITH A CRASH AS IT BECOMES UNDRIVEABLE. *AK

REAR END RING AND PINION FAILED. YH

AXLE SEAL FAILED. YH

BOLTS THAT HOLD THE SHIFTER TO THE TRANSMISSION BROKE.
