“The rear driveshaft bolts between the guibo and the pinion flange sheered causing damage to my fuel tank shield, drive shaft, and flange. Out of warranty and had bill crispin perform warranty work on the components for a drivetrain concern. The vehicle was accelerating from a stop in stop and go rush hour traffic when the concern occurred on ford road where it intersects I-275.”
NHTSA complaint #11091362, filed 2018-05, 68,000 miles“P008 code. Timing chain issues. If this fails and the engine seizes while driving,all of us Camaro owners could be in accidents. Death could even occured. I bought my 2010 Camaro february of 2016. I'm am the 2nd owner and only put 66k miles on the engine. 85% to and from work. I've replaced everything possible to get rid of the p008 code but it's still there. You have recalled other vehicles with this issue why not us Camaro owners? Please help is!”
NHTSA complaint #11408297, filed 2021-04, 120,000 miles“The engine light went on and it was brought in for service. I was told the code p0008 meant that it had a stretched timing chain which would need to be replaced and is a very expensive repair. I recently found out that this is very common in other chevy engines and the power train warrantee was extended to cover these repairs in other engines, but not my Camaro. I currently only have 73k miles and would like to see chevy fix the issue as it has been done with the other GM cars.”
NHTSA complaint #10955682, filed 2017-02, 72,000 miles“Car will not go into first or reverse. Shifts fine in other gears and when car turned off. Took to dealer who said clutch was worn at 50,000 miles because I was too hard on it? I don't race, hot rod etc, that's why I bought a v6 manual for durability. Am only owner only driver. …”

The vehicle is equipped with the 6spd manual transmission therefore the vehicle was in neutral, the hand brake was engaged. As I walked away from the vehicle which was parked in my driveway I heard a loud popping noise. It was loud enough to cause alarm, when I looked back at my vehicle it was rolling out of my driveway & into the street. I was able to jump in & apply the brake before it caused any damage. …”
