Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Whenever the A/C is running the defrosters stay open and badly fog the windshield on the inside...GM is aware and has fixes that do not work. I have attempted to have the dealer and GM correct it (it appears to be extremely widespread as a problem)...GM responded that the car functions as it was designed. I find it dangerous.”
NHTSA complaint #11190921, filed 2019-03, 500 miles“When using the windshield defroster, instead of clearing the condensation, it creates a very thick area of condensation on the inside of the windshield, regardless of temperature setting or fan speed. I have to carry a micro fiber cloth to clear this condensation repeatedly, even while driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11121332, filed 2018-08, 140 miles“I have a 2018 Camaro Convertible. There is a known issue with the convertible tops on these cars. The rear glass separates from the top because of a manufacturing defect. I was told this is not a recall but other Camaro owners reported that GM replaced the top for them at no cost if you make a formal complaint/request. I reached out to GM directly and they told me to visit this webites instead. I am attaching photos.”
NHTSA complaint #11497393, filed 2022-12“The contact owns a 2018 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that the rear glass attached to the cloth convertible top had become unsecured and the contact was concerned that the rear glass may separate from the convertible top. The contact stated that the rear glass panel was attached to the cloth convertible top using glue, and the glue had failed, causing the glass panel to become unsecured. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, and the contact was advised that the entire convertible top needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. …”
