2018 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

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.

Since I’ve purchased this vehicle I have been having issues with the transmission and engine providing the accurate amount of power as it relates to the acceleration. The persistent issue is the gear shifting lags and rumbles my vehicle each time I accelerate up a hill, accelerating from g20-30mph and it rumbles the gear. I was told the diagnosis was with the spark plugs having an issue on multiple occasions. I’ve changed the spark plugs several times along with maintaining everything else within the vehicle. This problem still persist. In 2019 my vehicle stopped on the road and the issue pointed to the computer module. I got the module replaced but the problem still persisted. This is unacceptable and there needs to be an investigation done as my car has shut down due to this issue, lost power in mid-traffic and who knows what else issues this is causing. If there is not proper function in this area then it will be detrimental to the safety of the driver. I also have records of my visits at the dealer as I brought this to their attention but was brushed off as it being a spark plug issue.

Engine began to shudder as if the engine wants to turn off. It can also feel as if there is some issues with the drive axles. It leads to loss of power of the engine. The loss of power goes away upon shutting the engine off and turning it back on however the check engine light remains on and the error code p0420 displays on the reader.

The transmission shudder from bad transmission fluid results in major loss of power and makes it unsafe to turn left on green on green ..makes me afraid to pull out knowing it might shudder and not get out of the way in time for city traffic...

TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAMARO. A LOT OF PEOPLE ONLINE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN DRIVING IT. EVEN AFTER SERVICING THE FLUID ETC... IT HAS TO BE THE WAY THEY DESIGNED THE TRANSMISSION.

CAMARO'S REAR COMPARTMENT FUSE BOX IS UNDER THE MAT IN THE TRUNK. SOMEHOW THE WATER GOES INSIDE THE TRUNK, WHICH IS EXPECTED BECAUSE THE TRUNK IS FOR STORAGE OR TRANSFER G THE GROCERY. SHORT CKT HAPPENS BECAUSE OF THAT. MOREOVER, THE TRUNK DOOR GETS OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND GETTING SMOKE AND GETTING 100% OF CHANCE OF FIRE IF I DON'T TAKE A NECESSARY STEP. I THINK IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANOTHER DRIVER TOO BECAUSE THE LOCATION OF THAT MODULE IS AT THE WRONG PLACE.

TRANSMISSION ISN'T CONTROLLED WELL. WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE TRANSMISSION TENDS TO SHIFT TO 1ST GEAR VIOLENTLY WHICH MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO MOVE FORWARD AND HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. 2018 CAMARO 2.0

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE AND THE WINDOW WOULD NOT SHUT ALL THE WAY. THE DOORS WOULD START UNLOCKING ON THEIR OWN AND THE DRIVER WINDOW WOULD TRY TO ROLL ALL THE WAY UP UNSUCCESSFULLY. THE CONTROL PANEL WOULD FLASH A NOTICE THAT THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN PARKED AND ENGINE TURNED OFF. ONE EVENT LASTED 45 SECONDS WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND ANOTHER EVENT WHILE I WAS SITTING AT MY LOCAL CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER. THIS EVENT HAPPENED WHILE THE REMOTE KEY WAS SITTING ON THE DASH IN SERVICE CENTER ENVELOPE AND THE CAR WAS OFF. THE DOORS STARTED UNLOCKING AND LOCKING AND DRIVER WINDOW STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN. THEN ALL THE DOORS LOCKED WITH ME INSIDE OF THE CAR AND I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR TO GET OUT ALL WHILE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON. I RECORDED THE EVENTS AS THEY OCCURRED BUT THEY ARE IN ,MP4 FORMAT AND I AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD THEM.

CAME IN DUE TO AN EXHAUST RATTLE ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE. THE ISSUE WAS DUPLICATED BY THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM THAT IS CAUSING THIS RATTLE NOISE. THE LEAK IS IN THE CENTER OF THE EXHAUST PIPE, UNDERNEATH THE CENTER CONSOLE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO OPERATE, HOWEVER THAT IS NOT MY EXPERIENCE. THERE IS EXCESSIVE NOISE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST CAUSING DISTURBANCE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, AND ALSO THE SMELL OF EXHAUST GAS IS AT TIMES APPARENT IN THE CABIN. THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED FOR OVER 2 MONTHS NOW, WITH DEALERSHIP CONTINUING TO PUSH THE DELIVERY DATE OF THE PART ON A WEEKLY BASIS, WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY INTERIM SOLUTION TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE PART IS AVAILABLE.
