DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT 40 MPH AND SUDDENLY ALL THE RED WARNING LIGHTS APPEAR AS I LOSE POWER-STEERING, ALTERNATOR NOT CHARGING, AND MY ENGINE TEMPERATURE RISES TO 300 DEGREES F. I PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY TO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD. THE PRESSED-ON POWER STEERING PULLEY HAD COME COMPLETELY OFF THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND CONSEQUENTLY CAUSING THE SERPENTINE BELT TO FLY OFF. I RARELY DRIVE THIS CARE AND IT HAS ONLY 15,000 MILES. SO MUCH GENERAL MOTORS QUALITY. *JS

AIR BAGS
I WAS TURNING RIGHT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THEN BY MISTAKE THE BACK RIGHT TIRE AND WHEEL HIT THE CURVE AND THAT MADE A LITTLE DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL AND THE WHEEL IS LITTLE BIT DIAGONAL. WORST CASE SCENARIO THE BEARINGS IS BROKEN. MY COMPLAINT IS WHY WOULD THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY THAT MOMENT WHILE THE IMPACT IS ONLY ON THE WHEEL? ALSO MY FRIEND WAS SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED THE POWDER THAT COMES OUT FROM IT GOT ON HIS SKIN AND HE GOT BURNED FROM IT, SINCE THAT IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE BURNS IF IT GETS ON UNPROTECTED SKIN, AND IT CAN SEVERELY IRRITATE THE LUNGS IF INHALED. THE MAIN POINT IS THE AIRBAG SHOULDN'T DEPLOY IN A SMALL DAMAGE AS THIS, I HAVE SAID THAT BECAUSE I EXPERIENCED IT WITH 2010 S600 MERCEDES BENZ, THE DAMAGE WAS WAY WAY WORSE THEN THE ONE ON THE CAMARO. THE DAMAGE ON THE S600 WAS TO WHEELS BROKEN AND THE BODY GOT EFFECTED AND THE ACCIDENT WAS VERY SIMILAR TO THE CAMARO AND THE AIRBAG ON THE S600 DIDN'T DEPLOY AND MERCEDES HAVE BETTER QUALITY AND MORE SAFETY THEN CHEVROLET. I WENT TO THE ROYAL CHEVROLET IN WEST BROAD STREET RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. THEY DIDN'T TREAT ME WELL THEY WERE TALKING TO ME AS CHILD THEY DIDN'T EVEN INSPECT THE CAR THEY JUST THE AIRBAGS DID WHAT IT SUPPOSE TO DO THAT WAS BY THE SERVICE MANAGER. I TOLD HIM THE DAMAGE WAS VERY MINOR AND THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG SHOULDN'T HAPPEN HE DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING HE WAS TRYING TO FLIP THE WHOLE THING ON ME. HE TOLD I HAVE NOTHING TO DO GO CALL GM. *TR
