My car began to over heat causing my vehicle to suddenly lose power. Also caused fogged windshield.. the heater core on the Camaro from 2010 - 2013 are having malfunctions causing the car to overheat and or spill boiling liquid onto your passengers feet, if you were to have a passenger start to scream when this burning liquid were to hit their feet while wearing high heels or sandals you can easily get distracted and lose control of you vehicle from just someone screaming out of now where, there are countless stories on the Camaro forum about these heater cores going bad.. others experience counting fogged windshield which could cause a visibility issue and cause an accident and a vehicle breakdown causing a accident if you break down in heavy traffic... my Camaro is at the dealer now getting diagnosed. But this issue has not been addressed as a recall and should be..
I got in, I started my car at 5:30am, all ways normal. I put it in reverse got out of my driveway, then put it in drive and the car started shaking. I pressed the gas a little and I seamed like the car wanted to turn off and the gear gauge was going up and down and still shaking. I stopped put it in park, turned off the car, waited for a few minutes, then turned the car back on, the car was still shaking, then the check engine light came on. I had to drive to work. It was about 18 minutes away, the whole way there the car was still shaking, check engine light was still on, and it felt like the car didn't have any muscle to it and wanted to die while driving.
While traveling 60 mph my car started shaking violently and the check engine light came on. I safely pulled to the side of the road. Checked the engine could physically see anything wrong with it. I checked the oil and the dipstick was almost dry. My oil change was overdue by 3000 miles. Last oil changed I used full synthetic oil thinking I could go a little further between oil changes. Never received a oil pressure indicator light on my display. I would have thought that I should have received some type of indication that my oil pressure or oil level was low. Now left with the high cost of replacing the engine.
Having issues with car maintaining oil levels. 1st instance did oil consumption then found it was leaking from engine seal, replaced that then another oil consumption @ 1000 miles later to find out it was leaking from some sort of plug, replaced that, another oil consumption test @ 2000 miles to only find out it was low on oil again, GM told the dealer to do a top engine cleaner on it. Then GM replaced the whole engine cover assembly and seals and informed me that you couldn't use dextose full synthetic because the seals and rings wouldn't sit right and that oil was made for corvettes and Cadillac, three days later check engine light came on. Went back to the dealer they just cleared the code and told me to drive it. Not even 1/2 way home noticed the car wouldn't accelerate, called dealer and took it back, finding out the catalytic converter was bad needed to be replaced. Replaced that. It's only been 2000 and now the oil level is on the end of the dip stick. When speaking to the service manager he said not to go by the oil % life on the car as it wasn't accurate. To change at 5000 miles. But being at the end of the dip stick the math isn't adding up. Car at the dealer now and got a call everything is in spec per GM and it's burning 1 qt per 2000 miles, nothings wrong. Clearly you can see oil residue on the alternator and brand new engine cover they just put on.

Leaving work and the clutch stuck when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear then there was a terrible burning smell and it stalled in the middle of an intersection. Then while I was on the highway driving 65mph I down-shifted from 6th to 5th for upcoming slower traffic and the clutch stuck again and the car starts to stall. Both times I had pressed on the gas thinking the clutch would come out and it didn't so then there was terrible burning smell. I finally got the clutch unstuck both times and proceeded home. It didn't do it while driving to work but my car had been in the garage all night. However, at work my car sits outside all day and it was really cold that day. I notified the dealer first thing in the morning and they are looking at it.
