I purchased this vehicle July of this year and just drove it to find it pulled extremely to the right. I was told it was an alignment issue which they attempted to fix which seems successful in July coming off the offramp after first time on the highway and applying the brakes, the car shook side side, and then up and down. It felt like the car was coming apart. I again notified the dealer. I purchased it from and was reminded it was bought as his, but that they would do what they can to fix it so that I would feel safe driving it. Also upon purchase when it got dark, I could not see even the beam of the headlights that they promised to replace and have not as yet.

IN 6/2018, I DISCOVERED THAT MY CAR WAS BEGINNING TO CORRODE ABOVE THE WHEEL WELL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE (MY CAR WAS STILL 5 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME OF THE DISCOVERY, BUT OVER 100K MILES). WITHIN ONE WEEK, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER--AT WHICH I PURCHASED IT NEW IN 2012--WHO CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS INDEED CORROSION AND INDICATED ON THE WRITTEN ESTIMATE THAT THE "HEM FLANGE WAS NOT PROPERLY SEALED FROM FACTORY CAUSING CONTAMINANTS TO ENTER AND START CORROSION ON THE LEFT QUARTER PANEL." THE DEALER QUOTED ME $3,000 TO REPAIR THE QUARTER PANEL. IN 6/2018, I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WAS DENIED ASSISTANCE FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR FROM THE CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGERIAL LEVEL. IN ABOUT 7/2018, I CONTACTED GM EXECUTIVES, WHICH RESULTED IN A DENIAL OF ASSISTANCE FROM THE CHEVROLET EXECUTIVE RESOLUTIONS TEAM. IN 8/2018, I MADE A BBB COMPLAINT AND AS A RESULT RECEIVED CONTACT FROM GM'S BUSINESS DIVISION, WHO ALSO ULTIMATELY DENIED ME ASSISTANCE. MOREOVER, THE BBB HAS INDICATED THAT MY CAR IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE AUTO LINE PROGRAM DUE TO # OF YEARS OLD. I ALSO RECENTLY MADE A STATE OF MI ATTORNEY GENERAL REFERRAL. I WILL UPLOAD THE PACKET THAT I SENT TO THE BBB WHICH CONTAINS MOST, IF NOT ALL, OF THE DOCUMENTATION I HAVE TO DATE (NOT INCLUDING THE BBB DENIAL).

MY 2012 CAMARO CONVERTIBLE DEVELOPED LEAKS (HOLES) IN THE WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE DAMAGE APPEARS TO BE DONE BY THE ROOF MECHANICAL SYSTEM. DEALER REPORTS THIS IS A 20 HOUR JOB AND WILL COST A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE. MY CONTENTION IS THAT THE DESIGN AND BUILD OF THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE HOLES IN THE WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND GM SHOULD HOLD SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. THE WHOLE INTERIOR AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS ARE AT RISK OF FAILURE AND CREATES A SAFETY RISK TO DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS SHOULD THE WATER GET TO THE ELECTRIC SEATS OR ANY ELECTRIC WIRING UNDER THE CARPET.. ALSO RENDERS THE CAR UNSELLABLE.

Official recalls
4Jul 23, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. The manufacturer distributed interim letters to owners on September 11, 2014. The recall began on December 26, 2014. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC).

Jun 20, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling all 2010-2014 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles manufactured December 3, 2008 to May 23, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position could cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will remove the key blade from the original flip key/RKE transmitter assemblies, and provide two new keys and two key rings per key. The recall began August 25, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14294. Note: Until the recall has been performed, it is very important that drivers adjust their seat and steering column to allow clearance between their knee and the ignition key.

The driver side frontal air bag has a shorting bar which may intermittently contact the air bag terminals.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the bar and terminals are contacting each other at the time of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, that air bag will not deploy, increasing the driver's risk of injury.
