| I found out through this website that there are recalls on this car. when my husband called the dealership they said that they wouldn't fix it-it was too old. another dealership told us that there weren't any open orders on this car but we have the problems described in the recall. the seat belt won't stay tight, and the car sometimes rolls when in park. please help us get the recall taken care of! no safety defect mentioned. *ak | |||

| The camaros with rear dsk brakes/manual tranny were recalled for this problem, but not the ones w/ rear drum brakes, which i don't understand. the person who owned this car at times of recalls didn't follow through with any of them, i don't know time of failure of e-brake, but it hasn't ever worked since i have had the car. i'll check with a gm dealer and see if they'll fix it for me, but thought i'd report this first, i've been meaning to get this fixed, but have procrastinated about it. if you like, you can e-mail a response to me-ufnut@aol.com. | |||
