The ignition switch shorted, a fuse shorted and these symptoms revealed a bigger problem. The holding area for the tire in the rear (does not hold a tire because of space issue) was repurposed by the manufacturer to mount the rear fuse box and amp. When the sunroof overflows or gasket allows moisture to build this area holds water. Unknown water source at this time but there is no drain for the water directed here to go out. Subsequently the electrical is exposed to water causing a fire hazard while driving or running. In my case it melted various relays and wiring harnesses but I was able to find before the fire started. This is also in the vicinity of the fuel tank causing an extreme hazard. When researching I found this model car there were many that had reported it. This could have been extremely dangerous fire while operating and is completely preventable with small alteration. Water should not be directed to this area if it will not have a way to vacate and they have repurposed the area in this way.
Manufacturer default in the trunk. Water is getting into the trunk causing water to fill up in the battery compartment. Thus, shutting the vehicle electrical system down completely. After researching, I contacted GM who stated that they are unaware of this issue, although many people who own this type of vehicle have had this issue occur.
The contact owns a 2018 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that a manufacturer defect had caused moisture to seep into the trunk compartment. As a result, water had leaking into the battery compartment which had caused the vehicle to shut off while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the defect was confirmed, and the contact was provided an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
I-??ve been experiencing my acceleration and brake pedal engaging without my intervention. While driving, a sudden unintended acceleration will occur followed by the brakes engaging by itself. With the sudden acceleration, fail to accelerate, & delay stopping, all of these factors can cause danger to both the passengers in the car, including myself & others on the road around me which is a very big safety issue. In addition, with the problems i was experiencing & engine light being on my display i took the vehicle to be inspected by Don Mealey Chevrolet in Clermont, Florida 347811 on March 31st 2023. The DTCs Read showed Active, failure code0x00: P0700 Transmission Control System(MIL Request).

Engine began to shudder as if the engine wants to turn off. It can also feel as if there is some issues with the drive axles. It leads to loss of power of the engine. The loss of power goes away upon shutting the engine off and turning it back on however the check engine light remains on and the error code p0420 displays on the reader.
Camaro's rear compartment fuse box is under the mat in the trunk. Somehow the water goes inside the trunk, which is expected because the trunk is for storage or transfer G the grocery. Short ckt happens because of that. Moreover, the trunk door gets open while driving and getting smoke and getting 100% of chance of fire if I don't take a necessary step. I think it is a manufacturing defect and very dangerous for another driver too because the location of that module is at the wrong place.

If the car is not kept on a charging system the battery can drain within 48 hours - 2 weeks. When I leave the car in the garage with the doors locked for 48 hours the battery goes dead. When I leave it in the garage for a week unlocked the battery is dead. It took 45 minutes to jump start it.
The vehicle has stalled numerous times attempting to start from a stop. Vehicle has also stalled going up driveways. Only way to avoid stalling is to not apply throttle or ride the clutch which is going to prematurely wear said clutch.
