2019 Chevrolet Camaro

I am reporting a severe safety hazard involving my 2019 Chevrolet Camaro. The vehicle has suffered a total failure of its audio amplifier, resulting in a complete loss of all interior audio. This is not a convenience or entertainment issue. Because the amplifier controls all vehicle audio output, the car no longer produces any audible safety warning alerts or chimes. This includes the complete loss of: * Turn signal indicator clicks (leaving the driver unaware if indicators are active) * Seatbelt unfastened reminder alarms * Door/trunk-ajar alerts * Blind-spot monitoring audible alerts * Forward collision warning alerts * Parking assist sensor warnings Operating a vehicle without these critical sensory alerts creates an immediate, active hazard on public roads. The driver cannot hear warnings of imminent collisions, lane departures, or simple indicators like active turn signals. The vehicle was taken to an authorized GM dealership (Jake Sweeney Chevrolet) on July 7, 2026. A diagnostic check confirmed internal amplifier damage. A valid extended warranty claim was approved to replace the part. However, General Motors Executive Customer Service and the dealership parts manager have officially confirmed in writing that this critical safety component has been discontinued. No replacement parts or compatible alternative part numbers exist in stock at any dealership nationwide. General Motors /Jake Sweeney Chevrolet is telling me they are entirely unable to provide a functional safety replacement part for a 7 year-old vehicle, forcing me to operate a vehicle with fundamentally compromised driver-safety systems

The contact owns a Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle on the side of a residential road, she attempted to place the shift knob from Drive into Park. At that moment, the vehicle suddenly jolted and accelerated forward independently. The vehicle proceeded through a red light at approximately 20 MPH. The contact attempted to maneuver the vehicle to avoid colliding with traffic, but the incident concluded when the vehicle crashed into a nearby high school building. The vehicle was going 20 MPH at the time of the crash. The front of the contact vehicle crashed into the building. The property damage was a high school gate. The vehicle's final position ended in a high school gate. The air bags deployed, but the vehicle emblem on the steering wheel caused the consumer to have extensive injuries on her forehead. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. A police report was filed. The contact was the only occupant in the vehicle. The injuries sustained by the occupant were head injuries, broken left wrist, left side of her abdomen was bruised and so were both of her arms. Medical treatment was needed for the injuries including surgery's. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 69,000.

I've submitted a safety complaint #11733895. I wanted to give an update regarding GM Goodwill Assistance, which is 10% of $10,000 transmission replacement per Chevrolet. This is a known documented transmission defect from GM manufacturing, it is a major safety issue, the car was sold to me with GM/Chevrolet knowing about this issue, but they are putting the financial burden on the consumer. Diagnostic from Chevrolet confirms this defect and they basically are saying they won't help. This transmission should be 100% recalled for safety issues and I am just speechless it has not been. The random acceleration alone is extremely scary and totally unsafe. What do consumers have to do to get this recalled? Have a collision and kill or injure someone or myself? Something needs to be done. GM needs to take accountability and do the right thing RECALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS and fix the ones that need to be fixed.

The vehicle is experiencing a severe and dangerous transmission defect that manifests as intense shuddering and vibrations followed by instances of random, unintended acceleration. Specifically, while operating the vehicle at various speeds, the transmission fails to engage properly, causing a violent vibration/shudder. This is frequently followed by the vehicle surging or accelerating unexpectedly without increased pressure on the gas pedal. This condition creates a significant safety hazard as it compromises the driver's ability to maintain a constant speed and control the vehicle in traffic or during low-speed maneuvers. The random acceleration is unpredictable and poses an immediate risk of rear-end collisions or loss of vehicle control. General Motors (GM) has issued multiple Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) regarding this specific 8-speed transmission defect (shudder/vibration), yet they have failed to issue a safety recall. My vehicle began exhibiting these life-safety symptoms approximately two weeks after the 100,000-mile powertrain warranty expired in August 2025. A licensed transmission specialist has diagnosed the issue as a torque converter failure and transmission fluid contamination, consistent with the known defects identified in GM's own TSBs. Chevrolet has refused to remedy this safety defect at their expense, citing warranty expiration, despite their documented prior knowledge of the systemic nature of this failure. I am reporting this to NHTSA because the random acceleration component of this defect is a clear and present danger to myself and other motorists on the road.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2019 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that while attempting to register the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of the purchase, the mileage was 70,962. At the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 134,606.

Vehicle is doing a hard shift from first to second, severe shuddering, sometimes when braking vehicle acts like it wants to surge forward took to a transmission shop I have a bad torque converter and was told this is a problem with the 8 speed transmission from GM. This is a known issue with these transmissions that GM /dealership knew and refuse to fix. The vehicle stalled on me on a road at night where there's no stores, I'm a female alone on a dark road for about 30 minutes trying to get car to start. Luckily it did. This could've caused an accident and my safety was at risk being stranded alone at night. I was told to not drive the car until fixed. I do not have the funds to fix this issue and GM does not respond to requests, Chevrolet is not helping either.

Transmission Failures.The issue initially presented as intermittent trasmision shuddering, hesitation during accelaration, harsh and delayed shifting, and noticeable vibration, particularly at low speeds and during gear changes. These symptms progressively worsened over time and affected drivability and safty. Prior the failure, there were no warning lights or dashboard messages displayed. Based on professional diagnosis, they are consistent with internal transmission defects commonly reported for this model.(GM's-8 speed automatic transmition 8L45/8L90)Technical Service Bulletins TSB18-NA-335 and TSB16-NA-175. Chevrolet has denied reimbursement. The repairs performed to date have only provided temporary remedy, the issue remains ongoing and consistent with the known defects associated with the transmission.

I have noticed that my car is shuttering/vibrating. I feel it in the steering wheel/gas pedal to my seat. It starts at 35mph plus and at different speed intervals. I either have to decelerate or accelerate to get it to quit. My neighbor who is a mechanic at Maserati/Porsche dealer road with me to verify and also pulled up codes. None were set off. He researched complaints of same issues. Possible fixes could be from changing transmission fluid/flushes/torque converter replacement. Apparently a common issue problems reported. Under 80gs on odometer. Another reported high issue I had to take care myself. Was the back window coming unglued to top. The recalled 17s and 18s due to glue defects. I contacted GM/Chevy and the only thing they are willing to do is give me 230$ which doesn't even put a dent in the charge of a real fix.
