Asked by avidubey Jun 24, 2013 at 03:18 AM about the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro 1LT Convertible RWD Question type: Maintenance & Repair Hi,I just bought a new chevy camaro convertible with manual transmission. Yesterday night I took it for ride and I was taking it outside my garrage. There is steep slope which I was climbing slowly. I am not comfortable with manual transmissions as of now and it was stalling again and again. Finally somehow I made the climb but suddenly i noticed that my brakes were not working and I hit the wall in front @3/4 mph.
So no major damage but I do not understand as why the brakes did not work? I remember that I was pressing the brakes and clutch but it was not working.Its still a mystery and I have given my car to dealership for investigation but everyone is saying the brakes are fine and there is no issue. Infact just after this incident I called another person and he was able to drive my camaro absolutely fine.I need an expert suggestion here to know the root cause?Does brakes stop working if the car stalls in first gear or something? Michael answered 5 years ago Not to sound rude, but you shouldnt have bought a brand new Camaro with a manual trans if you dont know how to drive a car with a manual. Practice on someones old beater until youre comfortable so youre not putting yourself or other people at risk.
To answer your question, when the engine stalls, regardless of how your vehicle gets its power brakes (vaccum, hyrdoboost, electronic), you lose power brakes, and the brake pedal will get VERY firm and hard to apply. You really have to lay on it to apply the brakes. Avidubey answered 5 years ago Hi Michael, I never said that I do not know how to drive a manual, its just that am not comfortable with manuals on uphill and I am taking classes to improve that but in any case I would surely take your suggestion and I have been taking lessons and practicing during off hours in open areas. Anyway I have taken manual transmission classes to get more comfortable but I just want to understand as what happened that night.
Its a natural relex that if brakes are not working anyone would press the brakes with all his might and so did I but still the car was moving ahead although very slowly. Also, I tried to reverse the car after that to take it back to garage and again the brakes were not working and I had to use the hand brakes.
I tried this 2 more times before giving up and calling the dealership. Avidubey answered 5 years ago So here is the thing which was happening. When the engine was off the break was pretty tight which is normal I think. When I was turning the engine on, i was able to press the break full after pressing the cluth and the breaks were making a whooosh sound as of releasing air pressure as it happens in big vehicles like trucks etc when you release the breaks?

Now which one is normal and which one is not? My dealer is saying that there is nothing wrong and he has checked already. I am going to talk to him in person tomorrow. John answered 5 years ago My first thought was if your engine died, you needed to push hard on the brakes for them to work. Same as the power steering if goes out, you can turn, but it takes a lot of effort to do it. If you were unfamiliar with the new car, could you have pushed on the clutch with your right and left foot thinking you were on both peddles? Vocabulary anticipation guide.
