Chevrolet Camaro Problems — All Years, Common Issues & Reliability

I purchased a 2022 camero ss convertible I August 2022. On March 13 I noticed my rear window glass is separating for the top. It started on the drivers left back bottom corner and now it’s starting on the right side. If it separates the window would fly off and could injury someone. The problem seems to be a known defect caused by adhesive failure and has been reported in years from around 2016 thru 2023. A gm service bulletin report links it to insufficient primer during manufacturing and gm has been aware of this problem for years.

My Camaro ZL1 has 15300 miles an intermittently I’ll get an air malfunction warning on the DIC. It occurs mainly if I don’t drive the vehicle for a couple days. I have no idea if this is a legitimate concern or as electrical gremlin. I would think the air bag system is critical for safety and should be repaired under warranty

Engine failure which required a full engine replacement. The vehicle is unmodified and the engine was replaced under warranty. The certified Chevrolet dealer that replaced the engine confirmed that the issue was the same bearing failure that is impacting the 6.2L L87 V8 engines. The engine in my Camaro is a 6.2L LT1 V8, which is not covered under the current L87 recall. The first indicator of the issue was a grinding noise coming from the engine when coming to a stop. This noise was most noticable when coming to a stop or accelerating from a stop. No warning lights or error messages ever appeared.

My car has been sitting at the dealership since July 28, 2025 due to a faulty valve body from GM. The part is apparently back ordered but it has been 2 months now with zero estimate on when the dealership will get this part to fix my car. I have had 3 loaners and being requested to take the new loaner in for my fourth loaner which takes time Out of my day constantly having to switch out cars which I have also repeatedly put gas in and ends up with more gas than when it was given to me. I’m very frustrated at the lack of answers of when my car will be fixed and given back to me as I continue making expensive car payments each month. What can be done for this frustration?

When I first purchase the brand new 2022 chevy Camaro LS, the car drove smooth. A. Few weeks later I notice the car did not smoothly shift into gear. From gear 1 to 2 the shift was delayed before kicking in. I have taken the car twice to chevy dealership because the car is still under warranty but because the technicians were unable to detect the issue ( no light on dashboard, no codes detected for service) they were unable to recreate/detect the issue I was and still currently experiencing. 2025, the check engine light came on the a code was detected from the system. P0700 - Transmission system.The car is drivable but there are times when the car does not kick into gear and stalls in the middle of traffic. From research and experience, I believe the transmission silinoid for gear 1&2 has gone bad. The car was purchased brand new and i have not had, nor have other system issues prior to the this issue. Once again the dealership was not able to detect this issues prior the issue becoming worse.

Subject: Inadequate Anti-Theft Security – 2023 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE To Whom It May Concern: I am filing this complaint regarding the lack of sufficient theft deterrent technology in the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE, which directly contributed to my vehicle being stolen in July 2025. Despite being a high-performance vehicle valued at over $50,000, the Camaro lacks a modern immobilizer system, encrypted key access, or any active anti-theft protections to prevent increasingly common theft methods such as relay attacks, CAN injection, or signal spoofing. My vehicle was stolen in under one minute from a secure location, and the incident aligns with a growing national trend of GM vehicles being targeted due to these vulnerabilities. 2 years of $1,000 payments for it to be easily stolen is outrageous. I had full coverage insurance and was enrolled in OnStar, yet the recovery process was ineffective, and OnStar was unable to track the vehicle in time. Chevrolet and GM have not provided an adequate explanation for why newer models are being sold without basic theft-prevention technology that is now standard in vehicles from other manufacturers. Given the scale of this problem, I believe this represents a serious consumer safety and security issue, and GM should be required to: •Upgrade security firmware or modules in vulnerable models •Offer retrofitting of immobilizer technology or free anti-theft solutions •Notify owners of the known risk and potential theft vulnerability I am requesting that NHTSA investigate the scope of this issue and determine whether GM’s failure to implement industry-standard theft prevention constitutes a violation of consumer safety expectations. Thank you for your time and attention.

The passenger and driver side roof rail air bags deployed without any crash impact just was driving around a corner and they went off there was no crash nothing was so scary I was also the only one in the vehicle at the time this happened. this also happened 2 days after Chevy had it. They had it to upgrade the system due to a recall. I called Chevy right away and asked them if the upgrade to my cars system had anything to do with the safety system they said no but they did not no what exactly it did do. This locked my seatbelts and caused my heated and cooled seats to no longer work it was looked at 2 days ago waiting for the cost estimate as we speak

Over a year ago, my car developed an intermittent slow crank/starting issue. After driving 20–30 minutes and turning the engine off, it often wouldn’t restart on the first try, sometimes requiring 2–5 cranks. From my research (forums, Reddit, Facebook), I suspected heat soak affecting the starter, which can eventually harm the battery, alternator, or starter itself. About six months ago, the battery was replaced under warranty, though I don’t know the full details of what the dealership diagnosed back then. On April 25, 2025, a more dangerous incident occurred: while driving on the highway, my engine suddenly lost all power without warning, right as I tried to accelerate to merge lanes. I had to coast in neutral onto the shoulder, narrowly avoiding a dangerous situation on a busy road. There were no warning lights or advance signs. After getting towed, I suspected the alternator had failed due to the long-term starter heat soak issue. Both the tow truck driver and dealership technician thought the same, especially after the dealership checked the OBD2 and only saw low-voltage-related codes. After 1-2 weeks of diagnostics, the dealership shocked me with their findings: the engine had catastrophically failed. They suspect metal shavings, possibly due to a rod bearing or crankshaft failure, but the exact cause is still under investigation. They are going to replace the engine and will provide the full details once the work is done. What’s concerning is that the slow crank issue had been happening for over a year, yet no clear signs pointing to impending engine failure. Only hints were a static (not flashing) check engine light that came on and off a few times over the past year, usually disappearing after 1-2 days and not returning for months. The LT1 6.2l V8 in my 23 Camaro is essentially the same engine found in GM’s recent massive recall for L87 6.2l V8 engines in trucks/SUVs. This calls for investigation into the LT1 engines.

At 14000 miles my 2022 Camaro main rod bearings sized up, ruining the engine. This is the same exact 6.2 engine that is in the recalled GM trucks so I’m not sure why it is limited to just the trucks and not the Camaros as well. I was denied warranty coverage because of an intake and engine ECU calibration not performed by the dealership. I changed oil and filters regularly and the ECU calibration had nothing to do with the rod bearings. I also have many group screenshots of other SS Camaro owners of later model years posting about the same issue I can share.

At very low speed like 1 or 2 mph car accelerates when braking, typically when like parking

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
