“I have what I believe a heater core going bad. With the heat on I have a very strong maple syrup smell and my windshield fogs up really bad when it is cold out. I only have 30k miles on my Camaro and rarely use the heat. It is obviously leaking. It us a dangerous situation where many people are complaining about this problem. It can get difficult to see when your entire windshield fogs up, also breathing in the antifreeze fumes.”
NHTSA complaint #10694649, filed 2015-03, 30,050 miles“One evening I got in my car and turned the heater on. Immediately, my windshield fogged up and the air coming out of the vents had a very strong odor, which smelt like coolant. For the entire drive (20 min) I could not get the windshield to defog. The next day, I drove my car and it was running extremely hot (about 220-250f). When I parked, I noticed that my car was leaking coolant. I tried to locate the source of the leak, but it was leaking from the middle of the car- about where the radio is. …”
NHTSA complaint #10781191, filed 2015-10, 75,000 miles“On 2010 model ss/rs with high intensity discharge headlamps (regular production option code t4f; I believe the code is), the visibility of the headlamps is severely diminished after the first couple of years due to heat from the required zenon bulb. Heat from the bulb, causes the plastic reflective dish at the rear of the light assembly to warp and crack the mirror reflective finish causing diminished throw (distance) from the headlights. With the severely diminished visibility from the headlights, a driver (me) cannot see much further than 30 feet or so in front of the car at night. …”
NHTSA complaint #11230110, filed 2019-07, 45,000 miles“The heater core in the Camaro has become faulty. It is leaking coolant onto the passenger floor area and also producing strong fumes within the cabin. It also makes visibility very difficult as the windows fog up and the defroster no longer works properly/”
