“The manual transmission bogs in first gear under aggressive acceleration from a standing start. This most often occurs when pulling out into traffic. I have had the vehicle almost stall on numerous occasions iwhen pulling out into traffic. I believe the cause is excessive torque management in the vehicle's ecu program.”
NHTSA complaint #11042516, filed 2017-11, 4,500 miles“I purchased my 2017 camero with only 36 miles on it. The vehicle has been back to the dealership several times for maintenance within the first year of me purchasing the vehicle. It has been twice for the vibration of the transmission. At first they told me it was a issue with the tires. I ended up purchasing new tires, however the problem still persisted. I took the vehicle back to the dealership and they finally stated that it was a issue with the transmission fluid and they had to wait on GM to send some to the dealership. …”
NHTSA complaint #11317565, filed 2020-03, 70,000 miles“When I am driving or when I start my car every two weeks or so many miles the engine light will come on. After driving so many miles or a day later the engine light will go back off. This has happened 10 times since purchasing the car. I am taking it to the dealership on monday to figure out why this may be happening. This is $150 just to get a diagnostics test done. I have had a diagnostics test done on the car previously when this first happened for free at an auto store. It threw the p0024 cam shaft code. I'm anxious to figure out what's happening.”
