NEW GM/Camaro loss of control issue.
Facebook Post
My Camaro's accelerator stopped functioning at highway speeds in heavy traffic. I had to coast to a stop while dodging traffic. The engine ran, at idle. I put it in park. I still could not accelerate. I could floor it. Nothing but idle. I turned off the power and cut it back on and I was able to engage the accelerator to get off the freeway and have it towed to a dealer. This is almost the same symptoms as the functional hack as demonstrated in the Wired magazine "Jeep Hack" video. After troubleshooting it 9 days, the dealer gave me the following info.
U100 Data bus: engine control module (ECM) A - no communication
U101 Data bus: transmission control module (TCM) - no communication
U121 Data bus: anti-lock brake system (ABS) control module - no communication
U176 Data bus: supplementary restraint system (SRS) sensor G - no communication
I believe this to be either a very serious defect, or a malicious hacking attempt. ( I once had a menu in Arabic which they say doesn't exist on the system) I lost control of the vehicle at highway speeds. I can't drive this vehicle without the fear of it happening again, without warning. GM's official answer is that they will give me an oil change coupon. I do not find this satisfactory. I find it a huge danger to my life and those around me. I am insulted that GM finds it funny. Research I have done shows that they have covered up stuff like this before (Ignition Issue where over a hundred people died). I think the public needs to know. I asked GM for contact info on their federal overseer for the ignition issue. They refused. I filed a NHTSA complaint here: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=11142983 Contact me with questions floydyancey@gmail.com

Post is 2/-1/2 years old. The service record said they found a service bulletin describing the issue and the software fix needed to fix it. Of course there are other things that can cause the same thing but they would not have the same codes.
