Funny Chevy Camaro Unintended Acceleration Video

0 Flares 0 Flares ×

When you watch the video below, you’re likely to laugh:

The question is, why? It could very well be that this is a documented example of a Camaro with unintended acceleration. Perhaps there’s a difficult to detect flaw in the accelerator pedal assembly or engine computer that occasionally causes the Camaro to lurch out of control – even when the brake pedal is being pushed. It could be that thousands of Camaro owners are in serious, serious trouble right now because of a safety flaw in the Camaro’s design.

I think that it’s time to call ABC news and demand an investigation. I think it’s a good idea for Consumer Reports to stop recommending the Camaro. Sure sure – there’s absolutely no proof that this is anything more than a case of careless driving – but let’s assume the worst anyways.

Maybe the Secretary of Transportation could threaten GM executives and promise to “hold their feet to the fire” until they investigate this problem? Congress should get involved too – it’s not like we can let this go.

    Maybe Ray Lahood should fine GM $30 million in the process.

    Ray won’t go after Ford for what they done so why would they even consider this?

    My 2012 Camaro SS just did this to me today. I was turning into a parking spot, foot on the brake when it just accelerated, jumped the curb and smashed into a store. There is no way I was on the accelerator. I need more information on how often this is happening! Thanks!
