My car has 23,507 miles on it. It has not been driven hard. I took it in for rear differential service. I was informed that both rear shocks were leaking. It was recommended to replace the shocks for $1479 because the shocks have an adaptive feature for different drive modes: touring, sport, track and traction for snow and ice.
1: convertible top needs replacement. The glass is separating from the actual convertible top. there is also a plastic trim piece that also breaks constantly. This part could fly off with the top down. The glass could also come off causing me and others to be at risk. The dealer has confirmed the issue but wants me to pay out of pocket when my car is used but only a year old. This is not the first time I have heard people have this issue. New cars and older ones need to be recalled and they need to fix these mistakes with manufacturing. It-??s unacceptable and putting lives in danger. 2: RPM will flutter / fluctuate so I-??m assuming it is an electrical failure. I have no idea exactly what is wrong which puts everyone at danger. I could have a car fire one day. Or maybe the car will just die on a freeway going 65+. The dealer has inspected and acknowledged the issues. They have yet to fix the RPM issue as they couldn-??t and didn-??t know what was going on. I have been waiting for a part that -??may or may not fix the issue-?? for about 5 months now. But the convertible top as well as this rpm issue needs to be a recall. It is putting countless lives in danger every day. It-??s time for them to take ownership of the problems. Videos of RPM issues will not upload but I have multiple videos
It was a near-death experience as I waited at a red light in my 2016 Camaro. Out of nowhere, the car started violently shaking, and before I could react, I almost collided with the vehicle in front of me. The sudden loss of power left me stranded amidst honking cars, making the situation even more perilous. After being towed to the nearest dealership, they attempted to fix the issue with two transmission flushes, but the problem only escalated. The car is now a ticking time bomb, completely inoperable, and I fear that other drivers may have been in similar danger. According to the dealership, the root of the problem lies with the torque converter, a faulty component that could have catastrophic consequences if not addressed immediately.
Every sense the car was bought from the dealership and it would rain the trunk leaks and holds water to cause electrical damage and problems. I took it back to the dealership and they said they didn-??t see a problem but there was a problem. Currently I am so hurt to have a car I can-??t drive under raining conditions and now my trunk smell of moldy and its problems due to electrical issues. The trunk leaked enough to cover the fuse box caused lots of electrical problems.
I took my 2016 Camaro in to get checked out because bit was driving funny. Come to find out the sensor in the transmission was going out. After i put it in for the warranty, my screen, dash, and all the sound went out in my vehicle. The next day on November 27th my car battery drained out and i had to get it replaced. 2 days later on November 29th 2021 my car battery went out again and had to get another battery. So at this point something is draining the battery down so i changed the batter and noticed there was water in the trunk of my car after it rained. But didn-??t think nothing of it. That same day i parked my car at work turned the car off and went inside the building. 45 mins later they said my car was on fire from the trunk. The fire department came and put the fire out-?? the fire and smoke cleared and the thing that caught on fire was the fuse box which is in the trunk and everything around it. I took my car to the Chevy dealership clay Cooley Chevrolet in Dallas Texas and they couldn-??t figure out why it caught on fire and that everything was too burnt up to tell what happened alls they know is that the fuse box shorted out. I took my complaints to GM and they did an investigation. It took 2 months and i did not get a rental till 3 days before they completed my investigation and they didn-??t search for one i had to go look for one. Then they told me that they are not going to help with the vehicle because the fire was located in the -??luggage compartment space-??. They said you can-??t exactly tell where the fire came from because the fire burned everything up. Today they are telling me to give the rental back after just getting it 3 days ago and I-??m without a car.

Trunk leaks with electrical components located in the base of the trunk where a spare tire would be located. Water pools in this area and exposes the fuse box, amplifier and other electrical components to water. This posses a malfunction and potential fire hazard when the fuse panel shortens out. Due to the half-moon shape of the top of the trunk where the back window meets water to pools and then seeps under the trunk weatherstripping and ultimately into the trunk.
Ever since the first day I took delivery ofy brand new Camaro the windshield fogs up excessively when run into the ac no matter how it's set. I've had it back at the dealer numerous times including once where they performed an on the fly removal of a piece of foam to supposedly help seal the dash to windshield mode actuator door which didn't fix it. Windshield was removed to perform this and it cracked had to get a new windshield installed overall this is not only an annoyance but a safety hazzard I can't drive it in the summer without sweating inside the cabin because with the ac on and day vents only it acts as if there is an ice chest and a turbo fan blasting ice cold air on the windshield which in conjunction with the humidity just plasters the windshield with fog on the outside of the windshield. Fog treatment sprays don't work. Nothing has. GM doesn't even try to solve it. My wife won't drove the car due to the vision being impeded. Happens when sitting still or driving.
Takata recall ever since I purchased my car June 8 2018 the car has been. Nothing but problems first the starter went out on me it went in the shop for repairs then few days later I was driving with my family in traffic when the gas pedal got stuck to the floor almost causing me to have an accident
I have taken this vehicle to Chevrolet dealerships approx. 8 different times due to malfunction of this vehicle. I have contacted General Motors this vehicle started these problems 1 month after I purchased it when I purchased it, it only had 95 miles on it, in the mean time due to General Motors closing the case and not willing to fix the issue I have contacted the better business bureau, I have also contacted nbc news " call 12 for action" since I have purchased this vehicle in November of 2016 this vehicle has been stalling in the in traffic, the computers will go blank and when they come back on they have to reboot, as I mentioned I have taken this vehicle in 8 different times and nobody can fix the issue, I even requested a field mechanic which General Motors set up after the BBB contacted them. I took my vehicle in on June 12th and cannot get anyone to return my call the issues are still happening nbc news contacted me yesterday and asked if I had contacted the NHTSA due to this safety issue nbc news " call 12 for action" gave me this website said that they could not contact you until I had filed a complaint. Since I purchased this vehicle I have spoken with several different people at General Motors trying to get this vehicle fixed and have been getting the runaround until the BBB has got involved. These issues have taken place in the middle of traffic it has happened when just sitting in a parking lot I would be at a stop light and go to acculturate when the light turned green and it would automatically stop and the computers in the vehicle would black out. Chevrolet has tried 8 different times to fix this problem and has been unsuccessful every time. General Motors even had me take it to a different dealership they cant seem to find the safety issue with this vehicle.
At times when make a left turn, there's a knocking noise that sounds like it's coming from the rear right underside by the tire or from in the trunk. It's not consistent but it does it everyday.
When sunlight is reflected off the silver/chrome-colored instrument cluster trim, it is focused intensely into into my eyes making it difficult to drive the vehicle safely. This occurs while parked, stationary, or driving on a city street or a highway. While turning, it may occur intermittently and suddenly depending on if the sun strikes it directly. It may also happen when driving in reverse while I use the backup camera.
Interior door panel rattle. When listening to the radio with mild bass, the door sounds like has marbles inside of it. Dealer stated the bass level is too high on my first attempt to have it repaired. Second attempt to repair the volume was quarter of the way up and you could here it. Dealer found a tsb on the issue and had to order special flocking tape for the door panels. I'm unsure if this has fixed the problem or not at this point because the vehicle is still at the dealer for other repairs.
Front windshield fogging up. Is specially scary when the sun is in your face and the windshield is foggy makes the effect 10 times worse to the point I cant see. Happens during humid and warm days so pretty much everyone in the South is doomed.
On fri, 26 August 2016, at a stop, my car wouldn't go into any gear (it is a 6 speed manual). I almost got hit. A cop & a good samaritan stopped & forced the gear in 1st as dealership & GM weren't helpful over the phone. I immediately drove to flow. They kept the car for a week & said they did a full check & everything was okay. GM was contacted but nothing was done to fix it. On sat, 24 September at night in a parking garage, I came to a complete stop and when I went to put my car into first gear to park, again it would not go into gear. I recorded a video of my friend having to force it into gear as the good samaritan did weeks before. Anyone who views the video can see how the car won't go in gear & can hear the noise it makes (as it did the in the August scenario). I brought the vehicle in that mon. Car was kept for a week. They contacted GM & GM said the same thing had been happening to other 2016 Camaros & the solution was to flush out or "bleed" some fluid in the clutch. I'm not a mechanic but I knew this wouldn't work. This is obviously a mechanical problem. I was also suspicious. Just 3 weeks before, GM supposedly had no solutions & acted like my car was the only one doing this. Fri, 30 Sept, car was returned. On sat morning 1 Oct, the same issue happened at a drive thru & 2 employees had to push me in the parking lot. New manager says they'll drive the car to see if it happens to them & also can try "one more thing".the car has an obvious manufacter defect that is a safety hazard.I called GM for assistance & they atttempted to contact flow for more info & after several minutes, returned & said that they had not been transferred to service & was told flow service was"too busy" to talk because they were getting off in an hour. GM needs to honor their warranty & take the transmission apart or replace the vehicle. It's in the shop for the 3rd time in 4 weeks.
Coming from behind the rear seat are two distinct sounds - one is a cracking/buzzing that is not an audio noise. It is a loose panel, or a result of the rear panel rubbing up against the rear window. The second sound is a quiet and consistent sound coming from inside the trunk. It can be heard if going over 20 mph and does not stop. I have had a dealer look at this issue 4 times, and they cannot resolve it.
Purchased 2016 Chevrolet Camaro on 6/18/2016 few days after the engine was running very rough, grinding noise, transmission shifting hard, the check engine light illuminated and speed reduced to 5 mph showed on display. This has been going on since then, I brought to dealer on 7/1/2016 and the service mechanic took back to check codes and informed me that numerous error codes were detected and told me to go ahead and take vehicle home because it was a holiday weekend and to return on Tuesday 7/5/2016 to be inspected for repair.
