What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. The contact stated that the driver was traveling over a two mile stretch when the vehicle suddenly and rapidly accelerated without warning. The vehicle accelerated to 110 MPH and proceeded to travel through a four-way stop sign. The driver then engaged the emergency brake in an attempt to stop the unintended acceleration and the rear of the vehicle became erratically uncontrollable. The vehicle then traveled over a curb and crashed into the side of a residence.
My service air bag light came on so I took it to the dealership to get it looked at. They told me it is just a sensor and you need to pay $900 for us to fix it. I don't have $900. About a month later I notice my dash on the passenger side starting to crack a bit and then a few weeks later a see my dash is now starting to bulge and it has a outline where my air bag is. I am terrified that it is going to deploy while I'm driving and my wife or a child is in the seat when it blows.
