19 reportsMy 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.

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.

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.
MY CAR MYSTERIOUSLY CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RULE IT AS A ELECTRICAL ERROR.

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.
