“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11351753, filed 2020-08“Manufacturer default in the trunk. Water is getting into the trunk causing water to fill up in the battery compartment. Thus, shutting the vehicle electrical system down completely. After researching, I contacted GM who stated that they are unaware of this issue, although many people who own this type of vehicle have had this issue occur.”
NHTSA complaint #11516757, filed 2023-04“The car lost power completely the engine would not start problem with fuel pump a loud or high-pitched whining noise from the fuel tank, intermittent stalling or power loss, decreased fuel economy, difficulty starting, and engine sputtering or hesitation”
NHTSA complaint #11683615, filed 2025-08“Exhaust-Piece that holds exhaust together has come loose twice now. Dealership confirmed the cause was due to a poor manufacture weld. The dealership has replaced the exhaust once, and this time the manufacturer is only agreeing to pay a portion of the cost. It was replaced less than two years ago and the car is driven less than 12,000 mi a year. Safety issue- because the piece that holds the exhaust together is welded on poorly (please see picture) and easily falls off. This is also a serious health hazard because when there are cracks in the exhaust fumes are inhaled. …”
