| I purchased a 2010 ss camaro in northeast ohio. after purchase i found out that the cars come with summer only tires. the tires do not say anything about being summer only so i tried to drive the car in our winter season. the car is impossible to drive in as little as an inch of snow. i purchsed winter tires for this season for over $1000.00. pirelle informed me that the tires an not to be used in temps under 41 degrees, the week of thanksgiving (2010) temps in florida were under 35 degrees. these tires can not be used in more than 50% of america! why should a customer of a new car be expected to purchase tires? then are unsafe and unusable in most parts of the country. | |||

| 2010 chevrolet camaro. consumer states problems with tires *tgw the consumer stated while driving, he felt the vehicle start to run different and there was a smell of rubber. earlier during the drive, he received an alert that the driver side front tire pressure was low, so he stopped and added air. there was no indication that the rear driver side tire was low on pressure. the consumer pulled over and discovered the rear driver side tire was completely flat and destroyed beyond repair. the consumer then called onstar and was given the tire size of his tires, only to discover the tires on the vehicle were smaller than the tires on the front. the consumer is requesting reimbursement due to an error that was made at the factory and the money that was spent to replace the tire. *jb | |||

| This complaint is to make the nhtsa aware of a safety hazard that exists with certain 2011 chevrolet camaros. i own a 1lt equipped with the rs package. this package includes 20 rims. unfortunately, shortly after taking possession of the vehicle, i learned that gm equips rs camaros with pirelli p-zero tires. these tires are rated as summer only tires and will pose an extreme safety hazard to those attempting to operate the vehicle in snow, or temperatures below 45 degrees f--essentially making the vehicle undrivable in winter weather. gm, nor the dealership, warned the driver that these tires can only be used in the summer. unaware drivers may become stuck or lose control and crash, due to the tire's loss of traction and hardening of rubber in cold/winter conditions. | |||

| 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. nothing worked...no onstar...i called my daughter in reno and told her to send help..i was in shock. i had no clue what happened or why..but after the traffic slowed down i exited the vehicle, still no help or response. car started with limited abilities 25 mph; was advised that it was okay to drive back to reno and bring it on in at my convenience. nothing was done. the car ready before the shuttle got back to the shop. the service men shrugged it off and told me to watch for the warning signs; i can't have any serious problems because they haven't had any electrical problems with these cars across the board??!i had no warning signs..i am lucky that i was not killed and did not kill anybody with my imaginary car problems. 2nd incident all systems went crazy, extreme heat coming from dash, no heat turned on, false readings, all warning lights and gauges went off, power locks don't work, no more auto start i requested service with no response for 5 days. i left a very expressive message for fleet manager and service dept finally responded. bad service..rude. i paid over 300 for car rental gm picked up 1 day they concluded again nothing wrong with car. malfunction was caused by snow and cold weather (not acceptable)because it wasn't driven in snow. 3rd time driving with kids on freeway in reno...guess what no power!! was advised once again that i could drive it on in the next business day. well i learned the gm secret. let her sit and she'll reset. i will not be able to live with the consequences of a death caused by a $50000 time bomb. dream car not worth a life or the fear of what might happen everytime you start it. *tr | |||
