This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My car has been having a lot of vibrations, sputtering, rumbling while driving. Especially when speeding up. It happens while in cruise control also. I took it to be serviced and they said it was the torque converter. They flushed the system and said it should clear up after 200 miles with the new fluid they replaced. I took it back because it has been over 500 miles and is still happening. I was told all they can do is replace the fluid again for now until they fix the problem. Why are they not able to replace the torque converter now before it causes more intensive damage? I am afraid as it gets worse I will be broken down on the side of the road with a car that is in worse repair than it should be.

When taking off from a stop, at normal speed, the engine bogs and almost stalls. This requires a re application of the clutch and more throttle to prevent stalling. This happens almost daily. It has happened while pulling into traffic from a driveway and almost caused an accident. I have been driving with a clutch for over 30 years on both cars and motorcycles. There is a real problem with the torque management system on this car. This problem affects many of this model of Camaro there is an online forum that has an in depth discussion of the problem: www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?T=498180&page=10
The manual transmission bogs in first gear under aggressive acceleration from a standing start. This most often occurs when pulling out into traffic. I have had the vehicle almost stall on numerous occasions iwhen pulling out into traffic. I believe the cause is excessive torque management in the vehicle's ECU program.
Pulley bearing or pulley tensioner is squeaking. The service advisors at my dealer refused to believe any sort of noise, except another service rep said he hears it. They refused to fix any issue because they're lazy and dont want to pay for the part.
