  • SteeringFiled Nov 4, 2025

    Loss of power steering, particularly mid-turn and at low speeds. Steering becomes very difficult and greatly increases risk of crash. I have had several instances where my power steering will go out mid-turn and the steering wheel becomes almost impossible to turn. I have nearly t-boned another car due to this issue. It has also nearly caused me to drive off the road into a ditch. I did not notice any warning lights on the dashboard, but it's hard to say because I was focused on not crashing the car.

    Loss of power steering assist

    Incident Jul 14, 2025

  • SteeringFiled Jul 8, 2025

    The power steering failed on June 17th, 2025 At approximately 3 PM. The system has been replaced by the local dealership so it is not available for inspection (dealership did it's own evaluation/inspection and determined the need for replacement). The vehicle was being driven when the power steering failed, so my safety and the safety of others on the same roadways was put at risk (fortunately, I was only about 1.5 miles from home). Prior to replacing the necessary parts, the local dealership reproduced and confirmed the problem was present (documentation to follow). The local dealership inspected the vehicle. As no accident occurred, local law enforcement and insurance representatives have not been involved. No warning lamps or messages or other symptoms of the problem occurred prior to the failure. A warning message was displayed once the failure occurred.

I am being told my car is out of warranty so no luck. This is not right. The pump should not go out that quick. I am being thrown to the side because I cherished my GM vehicle and didn't drive it as much as others. It risks blowing up the motor due to their faulty part. It isn't safe.

    The car had a partial oil pump failure where oil pressure dropped 30% in 2 days at 14k miles while under warranty. car was taken to dealership where I was denied service. they said I put the wrong oil in it and "installed the oil filter wrong". I cant even think of a way that is possible. they changed the oil and filter and pushed me out the door. Tt 18.6k miles the pump completely gave out and had zero oil pressure while driving, which destroyed the engine.

      September 02 2020 I noticed the glass rear window had separated from the soft top. Reported it to my dealer and the $6000 top was replaced under warranty because the glass could not be reglued to the top. In August of 2024 I noticed the same problem. When I took it to the dealer it was no longer under warranty. I went to three auto glass companies and a custom auto design shop for help. They all refused to attempt a repair and said the top had to be replaced. I called GM customer service and they called the dealership and offered a new top for $2000. There is a design flaw in 2016 to 2023 Camaro convertibles as is witnessed by the many bloggers have attested to. Neither GM nor Chevy have offered a recall. The rear window, made of glass, could separate on the highway and cause death or injuries.

    • Electrical system, structureFiled Feb 27, 2025

      Trunk flooded with water due to insufficient drainage. Factory radio amplifier and vehicle fuse box are covered in water as well as aftermarket amplifier I've installed. I have parts for inspection if needed. My safety could be at risk if this causes a fire hazard, but I am unsure if that could happen. Other safety risks to myself and other drivers could be present if tail lights stopped working or engine suddenly shutting off. These as well as other things could suddenly stop working if the fuses blow or corroded from water in the fuse box. This is a common problem amongst owners of this vehicle, and has cost large amounts to replace electrical components. My vehicle has not been inspected. I took the vehicle home and parked it after finding water in the trunk. No warning lamps or messages appeared. Symptoms prompting me to check started with radio suddenly going quiet. Followed my loud popping sounds from all speakers. Unknown amount of time before radio and sound symptoms occurred.

      Rack and pinion system failed. I lost steering while driving on the highway almost causing me to crash. I called gm about taking in my car because i saw there was a recall on my year and model for this issue but when i gave them my vin number they said mine was not included. I asked them if my car is having the same issue as the recall and my year and model was recalled how can they tell me my vin number is not on the recall, they told me it was not so they could not fix it. It was looked at by a steering shop and there verified that the assist power steering motor was broke ( the assist motor is what the recall was done for by gm). There was a light that came on the first time and has everytime i start the car ( Service power Steering).

    • Electrical system, structureFiled Apr 4, 2024

      The ignition switch shorted, a fuse shorted and these symptoms revealed a bigger problem. The holding area for the tire in the rear (does not hold a tire because of space issue) was repurposed by the manufacturer to mount the rear fuse box and amp. When the sunroof overflows or gasket allows moisture to build this area holds water. Unknown water source at this time but there is no drain for the water directed here to go out. Subsequently the electrical is exposed to water causing a fire hazard while driving or running. In my case it melted various relays and wiring harnesses but I was able to find before the fire started. This is also in the vicinity of the fuel tank causing an extreme hazard. When researching I found this model car there were many that had reported it. This could have been extremely dangerous fire while operating and is completely preventable with small alteration. Water should not be directed to this area if it will not have a way to vacate and they have repurposed the area in this way.

      Car feels like you are driving over rumble strips when the road is clearly smooth. Tried buying new tires and nothing would fix it. Then looked online and found many thousands of people having same issue that has affected all gm 8 speed transmissions for several years. There is a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) 18-NA-355 on it due to how many people have had this issue. It explains that GM was using fluid that had water issues in it causing all these issues and that the fix is to have it flushed out and replaced with something better. GM was replacing the fluid themselves on unsold vehicles but any that were sold are apparently on their own as they want well over $600 to replace the fluid due to their incompetence. I get that things happen but companies should own up to their mistakes and just fix them. Not asking for anything special just fix your mistake and call it good. Called them and they just want to give a generic response of "you should get that looked at and fixed". Have been a large family of GM only vehicles but we have bought our last one.

Happens at least 5 times a week, and I have to turn my car on, back up or pull forward put the car in park, try to turn it off and I will be met with the error message. I have to try this numerous times before it finally realizes the car is in park. I fear if the car comes out of park it will roll down a hill and hurt someone.

    • Power train, engineFiled Dec 10, 2022

      Since I’ve purchased this vehicle I have been having issues with the transmission and engine providing the accurate amount of power as it relates to the acceleration. The persistent issue is the gear shifting lags and rumbles my vehicle each time I accelerate up a hill, accelerating from g20-30mph and it rumbles the gear. I was told the diagnosis was with the spark plugs having an issue on multiple occasions. I’ve changed the spark plugs several times along with maintaining everything else within the vehicle. This problem still persist. In 2019 my vehicle stopped on the road and the issue pointed to the computer module. I got the module replaced but the problem still persisted. This is unacceptable and there needs to be an investigation done as my car has shut down due to this issue, lost power in mid-traffic and who knows what else issues this is causing. If there is not proper function in this area then it will be detrimental to the safety of the driver. I also have records of my visits at the dealer as I brought this to their attention but was brushed off as it being a spark plug issue.

      THIS IS TO DOCUMENT AND REPORT THAT I PURCHASED MY 2018 CHEVY CAMARILLO ON APRIL 15, 2020 WITH 18,000 MILES. MY CAR ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON AUGUST 20, 2020 AT APPROXIMATELY 6:15PM. IT WAS A CLEAR EVENING AS I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I WAS STOPPED AT THE INTERSECTION, READY TO TURN RIGHT TO CATCH THE FREEWAY ENTRANCE. AS I PROCEEDED TO TURN RIGHT, FROM A TWO LANE RIGHT TURN LANE, I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND BEGAN ATTEMPTING THE RIGHT HAND TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DRASTICALLY HARDER AND ULTIMATELY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN TO CONTROL CAUSING ME TO HOP THE CENTER ISLE HITTING A CENTER DIVIDER. A CHP OFFICER PATROLLING THE AREA, WHO WITNESSED THE ACCIDENT, CONFIRMED I WAS NOT SPEEDING AS HE NOTED THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF TREAD MARKS TO SUGGESTS I WAS SPEEDING. ADDITIONALLY, NO ACCIDENT REPORT WAS TAKEN. BY PURE LUCK, I DID NOT HIT OR INJURE ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PROPERTY. I DID HOWEVER, SUSTAIN BRUISING FROM THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING, BACK PAIN AND OTHER ACHES. I REVIEWED THE HISTORY OF THE CHEVY CAMERON'S TO CONFIRM THAT ALTHOUGH NOT A RECALL AT THE TIME OF MY ACCIDENT, I TRULY AND HIGHLY ENCOURAGE THAT THE 2018S ALSO BE LOOKED AT FOR THE SAME RECALLS ISSUED WITH THE 2016 AND 2017 RECALLS.

      I HAVE A 2018 CAMERO THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW. I KEEP UP MY SERVICE ON MY CAR. ONE DAY I NOTICED A SMOKEY SMELL WHEN I CRANK THE CAR. THE CAR STARTED TO HESITATE TO START AT TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO AND SHOWED THEM THE ENGINE LIGHT SENSOR WAS ON AND TOLD THEM MY CAR WOULDN'T START FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS. THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME IT WAS MY BATTERY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE CAR DROVE FINE BUT I STILL SMELLED FUMES WHEN I CRANK THE CAR AND SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. ON 8/25/2020 MY CAR WOULDNT START AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO BOMIN CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THAT MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW A 2018 NEW CAR THAT'S NOT TWO YEARS OLD FUEL PUMP GOES OUT.I RESEARCHED FOR RECALLS AND I NOTICED 11/21/2019 A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR CHEVY CAMERO DUE TO FUEL PUMP ISSUES. PLEASE KNOW THAT IM NOT TRYING TO GET OUT OF PAYING FOR REPAIRS IF THAT'S NEED BE. I JUST WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION PLEASE. I KNOW OF TWO OTHER FRIENDS THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR CAMERO. RIGHT NOW AT A TIME LIKE THIS DOING THIS PANDEMIC AND OUT OF WORK I CANT AFFORD TO PAY $1200 IN REPAIRS IF ITS A POSSIBLE DEFECT. PLEASE HELP ME!

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DRIFTED TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT CAUSING THE DRIVER TO OVER COMPENSATE WHILE STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL UNKNOWN DEALERS WHERE THE MECHANICS PERFORMED ALIGNMENTS AND TIRE ROTATIONS HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TRAMLINING WHICH WAS A NATURAL VEHICLE RESPONSE TO THE ROAD SURFACE.

      MY CONVERTIBLE TOP REAR WINDOW IS STARTING TO COME OUT. THE GLUE IS SEPARATING AND I HAVE SEEN 20 PLUS TOPS THAT ARE DOING THE SAME THING. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL THE GLASS SHOP SAYS IT'S AN ABSOLUTE SAFETY HAZARD IT COULD BLOW OUT ON THE FREEWAY. THERE ARE PLENTY OF FORAMS TALKING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS WELL. APPARENTLY THE TOP AND GLASS ARE ONE PIECE SO THE WHOLE TOP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AS IT IS SAFETY-RELATED. SOMEBODY COULD GET HURT IF THAT GLASS FLIES OUT ON THE FREEWAY

      I WAS DRIVING WHEN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH. IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO TURN AND BECAUSE OF THE MILAGE THE DEALERSHIP WON'T COVER IT EVEN THOUGH IT'S HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE RECALLED 2017 MODEL. *TR
