The back glass is separating from each of the bottom and sides of the top. GM knows that this is a major problem and only covered the original owner but I bought the car with just over 50,000 miles on it and it was a [XXX] bought car and I bought it from a dealership in [XXX] and I noticed the top after I got back to [XXX] with it. I was told by a GM dealership that GM is aware of the defect but they only said that they would fix it if I was the original owner and it was still under warranty. My son bought a Kia that had the head gasket problem and they replaced it with a brand new engine and…
I am reporting a severe safety hazard involving my 2019 Chevrolet Camaro. The vehicle has suffered a total failure of its audio amplifier, resulting in a complete loss of all interior audio. This is not a convenience or entertainment issue. Because the amplifier controls all vehicle audio output, the car no longer produces any audible safety warning alerts or chimes. This includes the complete loss of: * Turn signal indicator clicks (leaving the driver unaware if indicators are active) * Seatbelt unfastened reminder alarms * Door/trunk-ajar alerts * Blind-spot monitoring audible alerts *…

The contact attempted to maneuver the vehicle to avoid colliding with traffic, but the incident concluded when the vehicle crashed into a nearby high school building. The vehicle was going 20 MPH at the time of the crash. The front of the contact vehicle crashed into…
I've submitted a safety complaint #11733895. I wanted to give an update regarding GM Goodwill Assistance, which is 10% of $10,000 transmission replacement per Chevrolet. This is a known documented transmission defect from GM manufacturing, it is a major safety issue, the car was sold to me with GM/Chevrolet knowing about this issue, but they are putting the financial burden on the consumer. Diagnostic from Chevrolet confirms this defect and they basically are saying they won't help. This transmission should be 100% recalled for safety issues and I am just speechless it has not been. The random…
Thermostat is failing under part recommend mileage. GM is not taking this under consideration. States part last up to 100,000 miles. It’s failing under 30,000 miles.

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. Another reported high issue I had to take…
While driving with Cruise control on doing 70MPH (+\- 5mph) the car was in fuel management mode so only 4 of the 8 cylinders were in use. When going on an uphill incline the car cycled to V8. Instantly, I had a loss of power for a second and then the entire engine locked up in the middle of moderate traffic. Providing maintenance log to show that it wasn’t a lack of maintenance

Again. Took it to The shop and got an error code. It was really frightening driving down the highway and feeling the parking brake…
The electronic power steering system failed during track driving. Driving aggressively for almost 30 minutes, the power steering assist failed to “assist”; the vehicle was able to be steered but only with great effort in turning the steering wheel causing a loss of control. The message “Service Power Steering” message appeared on the instrument cluster. Exiting the track and turning the vehicle off then on allowed the steering system to return to normal.
Power steering on vehicle failed causing the steering to lock up while driving with almost no ability to stear the car. This problem was found and issued a recall on earlier years but not mine although the car was built the same time as those earlier years.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE VEHICLE TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN.
