Critical Deferred Risk
Critical deferred failure risk — 4 safety-critical or high-cost components are past their service interval. Without immediate attention, repair costs will compound significantly.
No odometer data on record. Mileage is estimated at ~120,000 mi based on average annual driving. Items marked EST. OVERDUE may already be due — verify service history with the seller. Items marked OVERDUE are confirmed past-due based on vehicle age alone.
EST. OVERDUECriticalTiming Chain Tensioner
Service interval: 10 yr · Vehicle age: 10 yr · Past due by age
Service Timing Chain Tensioner immediately — already past the 120,000 mi / 10 yr interval
Worn chain tensioners cause timing chain skip or snap — common on GM 5.3L/6.2L, Ford EcoBoost, VW/Audi EA888, BMW N47/N63. Listen for cold-start rattles.
EST. OVERDUECriticalWater Pump
Service interval: 8 yr · Vehicle age: 10 yr · Past due by age
Service Water Pump immediately — already past the 100,000 mi / 8 yr interval
Water pump failure causes rapid overheating. If the engine overheats even once, head gasket damage is likely — turning a $400 part into a $3,000+ repair.
EST. OVERDUEHighTransmission Fluid / Service
Service interval: 5 yr · Vehicle age: 10 yr · Past due by age
Service Transmission Fluid / Service immediately — already past the 60,000 mi / 5 yr interval
Degraded transmission fluid destroys clutch packs and solenoids. CVT transmissions are especially sensitive — neglected fluid can result in a $4,000–$8,000 replacement.
EST. OVERDUEHighCoolant Flush
Service interval: 5 yr · Vehicle age: 10 yr · Past due by age
Service Coolant Flush immediately — already past the 100,000 mi / 5 yr interval

I expereinced sudden and complete loss of Electric Power Steering Assist. A warning ,message appeared on dash notification area that power steering assist had failed. I understand that this is a known problem that has been recalled for this model, but my VIN was not included in that recall. I was travelling at 60 MPH at the time and narrowly avoiding losing control and crashing the vehicle. After stopping and restarting the car, the problem went away and then appeared again 2 days later. I am not confident that it will not happen again. The existing recall must be expanded to include my vehicle and possibly many other vins.

ODI #11669757ENGINE

The component that failed is the 8-speed automatic transmission and torque converter on my 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS. The system experienced shuddering, slipping, and overheating, leading to unsafe driving conditions. The defective parts are no longer available for inspection because they are being replaced through a dealership service center, but the vehicle and records of prior repairs are available upon request. My safety and the safety of others were put at risk because the transmission caused hesitation, loss of power during acceleration, and unpredictable shifting. This created dangerous situations in traffic where the car failed to respond as expected. The problem has been confirmed and reproduced by authorized GM dealers during multiple visits. They have identified overheating and failure codes related to the transmission and torque converter. The vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer’s authorized service center (Chevrolet dealer) but not by police or insurance representatives. There were warning symptoms before the failure, including: Noticeable shuddering during acceleration Hard shifting, particularly in lower gears Transmission overheating codes detected by the dealership These symptoms first appeared at approximately 35000 miles and have recurred despite prior repairs under warranty.

The blind spot warning system stopped working, and yes it is available for inspection upon request. I have heard this leads to further electrical problems and am worried this may compromise my safety if not dealt with. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer. The component has not been inspected. There was a warning that popped up stating “service side detection system” that appeared randomly on my drive home the other day. I had not hit anything or done anything to the car that might have caused this. After a couple of rain storms, it appears that this is directly related to water intrusion.

The transmission temperature sensor has gone bad in my 2016 Camaro ss with 6.2L engine, GM has recalled thousands of 2016 vehicles with this very issue, these transmissions have enough issues as it is, and GM knows it’s an issue or they wouldn’t have already recalled all those other 2016 vehicles. It can cause damage to the already fragile/finicky transmission in the 2016 models and other years, causing overheating of the transmission and causing the car to go into limp mode, and in my case it didn’t even throw a check engine light, I took my car to a mechanic about a different concern and he told me and showed me the code, he cleared it out and It immediately came back and still no check engine light.it’s a P0711 code, faulty/dead transmission temperature sensor. My car isn’t acting right shifting and I’ve noticed other issues, but is it that sensor or is it one of the many other issues with the 8L45 and 8L90 transmissions? So if that sensor is an issue in many other 8L90 transmissions why do they think it’s not an issue in the Camaro? You can go on any GM related forum and read all the complaints for this issue, and there are recalls about it for other GM vehicles but not Camaro. And it’s not a cheap repair, and it depends on which wiring harness that in the car to how much of the transmission has to be taken apart to repair the issue.

ODI #11610777ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,STRUCTUREFIRE

Before purchasing a 2016 camaro last year I took it to a Chevrolet dealership for a safety inspection with no safety concerns found and after purchasing it around 57,000 miles went to another Chevrolet dealership to diagnose any electrical concerns occurring with the car that I noticed. There was nothing found but I still noticed humming sound and let them know and they found no concerns whatsoever. The battery was replaced twice as over the course of the year the electricals decreased in power. I then notified my insurance there was an issue with the car drawing power and it would not start. Upon checking the trunk noticed water had gotten into and possibly damaged the trunk/rear fuse block. I went through my insurance to fix any body damage but no electricals were fixed based on the insurance representative declining to accept liability for the damage and upon return of my vehicle, the repair facility started the car against my wishes and the rear fuse block in the trunk sparked and caused a fire to start in the trunk that continued for about a minute or two. Upon taking it to Chevrolet this year again after this, I was charged $800 for them to not diagnose anything but to say the x-connectors were burned up in the incident as well (I said this previously as this started the fire as it carries the currents from the fuse block) and to say they cannot find the source of the water leak/entry or replace the fuse block as the x-connectors and harness for the car, the first parts needed to be repaired to establish power to the car, have been discontinued. For more details on the cause, effects, and repair steps necessary but not been able to completed by GM/Chevrolet please refer to this service bulletin that I noticed was raised after I purchased this car upon researching the issue MULTIPLE chevrolet dealerships, ignored, didn't notice, and now are saying cannot repair and should be followed up on: 18-NA-375.

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.

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.

Car was not smoothly down shifting and when put in drive or reverse would jump slightly. AAMCO basically said the transmission was bad. Which I can't understand how that could happen, it's a 2016 only has a little over 70,000 miles on it and is extremely well taken care of. I'm being told we have 2 options either the whole transmission needs to be taken out and rebuilt to find the problem, an estimated $3000-$6000. Or 2 the TCM can be replaced/reprogrammed for over $2500 which is not a guaranteed fix. They also told us a few other chevys with low miles also needed a transmission rebuild! So what is going on Chevrolet!? And we're still making payments on this car and it's already having expensive problems!

I noticed an occasional shudder at highway speeds. Traveling between Spokane to Coeurd'lene, a 30 or so mile distance, two episodes each way. The shudders are noticeable and there were very slight shudders before which I thought were hesitations before the last time I drove the car. I have had a difficult time to get it in the dealer as soon as I mention shudder. I was able to schedule a transmission flush without mentioning shudder.

I was leaving the gas station when a message showed up on my dash saying "Service Power Steering Drive With Care" My steering wheel got very hard and I had a very hard time turning the steering wheel to the right or left, somehow I manged to leave the store. I was really worried for my safety and others because If an accident were to happen I would not be able to turn my steering wheel to get out of the way to avoid a major accident. As I was driving home the message dispersed and the steering wheel went back to normal. I took the car into the dealership and they looked at it and said nothing was wrong with it, when clearly there was a problem with it.

The RPM gauge is malfunctioning, it’s hard pin point when it exactly it happens because i could be driving one day and it would be fine but the next it would be happening. What happens with the gauge is that It jumps to high rpms without any rev sounds the meter just seems to jump like crazy, it coursed a safety concern because the first time it happened was in a freeway going around 60mph and it started to bounce a lot and braked thinking my car was revving high and almost got rear ended, i pulled over and turned my E-Lights and turned the car off and turned it back on and it was fine after that, i took it to the dealer and they said they could not find anything and that it was probably something that would go away, i left and to this day it still does it not every time but there is times it randomly jumps a lot, sometimes when I accelerate sometimes when I’m decelerating i really don’t know what causes it. The car also seems to have no lights or warning lights of what it could be no warning lights are on the dash. I bought the car used from the dealership 4/5/2022 on the way home on that day was the first time it happened.

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.

Around 3/2/2021 I received a dash warning light for the electronic parking brake indicating some form of malfunction. The electronic parking brake began to stay on once set and when I would accelerate a bit, it would release. Thereafter the rear brakes and calipers completely locked up while sitting in my garage and would not move. I had to have it towed out of my garage and to a Chevrolet dealership for repair. The Chevrolet dealer repaired it after approximately one week or more and five or six days later the indicator light returned stating electronic parking brake malfunction so I took it back to the Chevrolet dealership and they repaired again. I had also contacted the dealership I purchased from in Tennessee and made them aware of the problem and they agreed to pay for the repair because my warranty did not cover this repair because it happened to be from prior damage to the car before i purchased it. After speaking in great detail with the Chevrolet dealer, it was explained to me that this is beyond repair at this point if I were to have any further issues with this and strongly recommended having this replaced and that it is currently unsafe considering this could happen again including while I am driving and could result in to an accident and possible injury to myself and others. I then hired an attorney to dispute this with the dealership I purchased from and they on many occasions declined any compensation for this. It is very pricy and the salesperson had told me at one point the car tire had had a blowout and defected a wiring issue with the electronic parking brake and that the switch had been replaced and that the side indicator lights were not working off and on. He assured me that this had been fixed, meaning it only needed a switch. The whole Body Wiring Harness was very badly effected and there are currently seventeen wires that are not secure in which control a lot of the car. I did also retrieve the service records.

THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP AND DRIPS WITH AIR ON THE FEET. NO WAY TO CLEAR THE INCREASING FOG UNLESS YOU TURN THE AIR-CONDITIONING OFF AND INCREASE THE HEAT THERE FOR ON THE 90+ HOT AND MUGGY DAY YOU ARE LEFT WITH HEAT EXHAUSTION OR PULLING OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAYS WHICH IS NEVER SAFE. WHEN IT RAINS GOOD LUCK DECIDING IF YOU WANT TO TURN THE WINDOW DEFOGGERS ON AND CAUSE CONDENSATION OR OPEN THE WINDOWS IN THE RAIN TO GET WET WHICH MAKES THE WINDOWS STEAM UP COMPLETELY OR LAST RESORT IS TO TURN THE HEAT UP ON THE DEFROSTERS AND HEAT UP THE WHOLE CAR. . OR AGAIN, PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD INDEFINITELY OR DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR IN 80% OF THE SOUTH'S WEATHER CONDITIONS. REALLY SAD THAT GM AND THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS FIX TO THIS ISSUE IS TO SAY "WELCOME TO THE SOUTH" AND LAUGH. THIS HAPPENS WHEN ITS MUGGY OUT, RAINING, COOL AND WET, EARLY MORNING OR LATE EVENING. IT ONLY GETS WORSE WITH THE WIPERS, ONLY GETS BETTER WITH HIGHER HEAT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. SO IN ESSENCE MOST OF THAT OR THOSE DAYS.

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.

ODI #11110153VISIBILITY/WIPER

WINDSHIELD FOGS UP AND BLOCKS VISIBILITY TREMENDOUSLY (ON A VEHICLE WITH LOW VISIBLE ALREADY, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS). THIS IS CAUSED BY COLD AIR LEAKING FROM THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER VENT, AND HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF DEFROSTER SETTING. IT BECOMES A PROBLEM ON HOT AND HUMID DAYS AND WHEN IT RAINS, RENDERING THE AC USELESS IF YOU WANT TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. FURTHER, TURNING THE AC OFF DOES NOT DECREASE THE FOGGING, NOR DOES DRIVING THE CAR OR SITTING STATIONARY. THE ONLY WAYS TO KEEP IT AT BAY ARE TO RUN HOT AIR (HORRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE ON HOT/HUMID DAYS) OR TO CONSTANTLY RUN THE WIPERS ON A HIGH SPEED. ASIDE FROM THOSE, RUNNING COLD AIR CONDITIONING (WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER OFF) CAUSES A DANGEROUS AMOUNT OF FOGGING IN THE AFOREMENTIONED CONDITIONS.

Chart Analysis

The blue line shows 138 total NHTSA complaints filed over 11 years, with the worst year being 2019 (24 complaints, including 1 crash report).

The amber reliability line shows an improving trend — scores have risen from the earlier years toward 52/100 more recently, suggesting the most serious issues are older and may have been addressed through repairs or recalls.

The recall (red dashed line) were issued in the same year or before complaints peaked, suggesting the manufacturer identified and acted on the defect relatively quickly.

Red dots on the amber line flag 2 years (2019, 2020) where complaints included crash events — these are the highest-severity incidents in the dataset.

VERIFY WITH DEALERSPECIAL COVERAGEPIP5353
GM 8-Speed Transmission Shudder Special Coverage
Transmission – 8L90 / 8L45 8-Speed Automatic
COVERAGE:7 years / 100,000 miles from original sale date

8-speed automatic transmissions (8L90 and 8L45) exhibit a shuddering or shaking sensation during light acceleration, especially at highway speeds. GM issued multiple TSBs and extended coverage programs. The fix involves a fluid exchange with a revised fluid formulation and, in persistent cases, torque converter replacement.

HOW TO CLAIM: Contact your GM dealer with your VIN. Multiple TSBs address this (PIP5353, PIP5555, etc.). If the fluid exchange does not resolve the shudder, the torque converter should be replaced under warranty.

Coverage eligibility depends on your VIN, original sale date, and current mileage. Always verify with an authorized dealer or manufacturer customer service — programs may have been updated since this database was compiled.
