“My 2019 Camaro ss2 brand new shut down and restarted 3 times while in motion. Then I stopped killed engine and it wouldn't restart, couldn't turn on flashers, completely dead. I finally opened driver door and closed and was able to start it. The steering quit while parking, and periodically the car wont lock. Dealer said nothing wrong, no codes”
NHTSA complaint #11362903, filed 2020-10, 5,000 miles“Today in the morning, I was driving on the highway to work and as I was driving at about 45 MPH, I heard a clunk sound under the car and the engine light came on. I slowed down and stopped at a traffic light and then I begin to drive again and I noticed that my car was driving at a high RPM and it seemed like was stuck at a shift and it didn't want to change gears so I slowed down pulled into an entrance and turned off my vehicle I looked under the car and I didnt see anything wrong; no leaks or nothing. …”
NHTSA complaint #11231478, filed 2019-07, 405 miles“Was stoped at a stop sign. When I tried to accelerate the car acted like it didn’t want to go and the back wheels locked up causing a screeching noise. Before coming to the stop sign it felt like it was having a shuddering affect. Luckily there was no traffic and it finally shifted out but wouldn’t accelerate very well. I was able to make it home and the Check engine is now on. It was definitely scary experience and now I’m kinda afraid to drive it. This car is low mileage (less than 50k) and a daily driver.”
NHTSA complaint #11681903, filed 2025-08“I have noticed that my car is shuttering/vibrating. I feel it in the steering wheel/gas pedal to my seat. It starts at 35mph plus and at different speed intervals. I either have to decelerate or accelerate to get it to quit. My neighbor who is a mechanic at Maserati/Porsche dealer road with me to verify and also pulled up codes. None were set off. He researched complaints of same issues. Possible fixes could be from changing transmission fluid/flushes/torque converter replacement. Apparently a common issue problems reported. Under 80gs on odometer. …”
NHTSA complaint #11714555, filed 2026-01“While accelerating my Camaro begins to shake violently kind of like a shuttering. It happens on cruise control also. The violent shaking makes it hard to keep control of the vehicle. I looked online and found THOUSANDS of owners with the same problems. The weirdest thing is that my check engine light comes on for a few days then goes off for months. This absolutely needs to be recalled! I’m going in for my second opinion tomorrow but the last mechanic said I can replace the torque converter or that I might have a misfire in my engine. …”
