Engine failure which required a full engine replacement. The vehicle is unmodified and the engine was replaced under warranty.

The engine in my Camaro is a 6.2L LT1 V8, which is not covered under the current L87 recall. The first indicator of the...
Traveling at Hwy speed rear ended vehicle which stop on the HOV lane front end driver side crumbled no air bags deployed
Subject: Inadequate Anti-Theft Security – 2023 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE To Whom It May Concern: I am filing this complaint regarding the lack of sufficient theft deterrent technology in the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE, which directly contributed to my vehicle being stolen in July 2025. Despite being a high-performance vehicle valued at over $50,000, the Camaro lacks a modern immobilizer system,...

They had it to upgrade the system due to a recall. I called Chevy right away and asked them if the upgrade to my ...
Over a year ago, my car developed an intermittent slow crank/starting issue. After driving 20–30 minutes and turning the engine off, it often wouldn’t restart on the first try, sometimes requiring 2–5 cranks. From my research (forums, Reddit, Facebook), I suspected heat soak affecting the starter, which can eventually harm the battery, alternator, or starter itself. About six months ago, the batte...
At very low speed like 1 or 2 mph car accelerates when braking, typically when like parking
while driving car stoopped runnig on expressway ; said electrical system low ; later found out at dealer engine siezed
The rods broke. The lifters are faulty and the power cuts off in the middle of driving. The car was taken back to the dealership and the cam shaft was replaced as well as the rods. However, after getting it back the car looses power and will not accelerate. It is currently in the shop as I type this complaint.
Accelerates when Braking !!
I was involved in a motor vehicle accident. My airbags failed to deploy & I received a notification through my Chevrolet app on my phone, right after the accident stating “your 2023 Camaro airbag system has an issue. Schedule service”. My safety belt system also states there is an issue detected and to schedule service.
My engine got my brand new Camaro is having a lifter tick issue. This seems to be a very common issue amongst these new Chevy engines, after doing research they all seem to stem from the same problem, and that would be the fuel management system that deactivates certain cylinders in the engine to “save on gas”, or better MPG. So their own technology is breaking their engines, I’m certain my car is...
Car losses power and shutters
Vehicle had approximately 5000 miles on it when the electronic trunk release failed to operate. Trunk would not unlock or open from the key fob or the push button inside the vehicle.

Dealer informed customer that the fuse box was on back ord...
Rattling noise at engine idling condition, coming from passenger side in engine compartment. Once vehicle reaches an idle condition around 650 rpm, the noise is present and will go away once engine rpms increase. Likely related to bulletin #PIP5395B (or subsequent update). Could also be confused with a small exhaust leak or an interference condition between some part of the engine and chassis.
Car (with 6 miles/brand new) was taken to dealer for a rattle in the engine bay. They have explained the fuel line is rattling against the fire wall. They tried to fix it and the problem was not resolved. They are saying they have to contact GM to open a case. This should be cause to update the TSB: PIP5395E for the same issue.
