general problems of the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro

Hydraulic lifts trunk hood. No warnings. Trunk lid fell on neck and back.

Apparently it is a known issue with repair shops. The 5th bow of the convertible top is a faulty part that when bent causes leaks within the vehicle. These leaks bcome massive and could cause mold within the rear floor panel. I've replace the part in 2018 and now 2024. However, the repair shop is now telling me the part is nolonger manufactured and can be located in the country.

My car no have heater.

Radio has been popping on and off for 4 years. Now it only works randomly. The heat and air will not work without the radio working and you can not hear blinkers going. There are thousands of exact same complaints for this vehicle… why is this not being recalled?.

Hvac blend door fails due to faulty design. This causes the ac to perform incorrectly and only blow hot air in the warm/hot season. Using the heater in the winter melts the blend door hinge causing this malfunction.

The radio turns off automatically. First the radio would randomly go off. Then the signal light sounds stopped working. Now the radio has no display and does not play. Although you are able to see the signal light the sound is gone. Since April 2019.

This vehicle has less than 50,000 miles. I recently purchased it from a large local Chevrolet dealership. The heat stopped working one week after I bought it. One day I went to start the car and the heater blew cold air. Ihad it checked and was told it's a bad heater core. The dealership will not cover it and the repair will cost over $1000 on a vehicle that I've had just over a month. After doing some research, this is a widespread issue with these cars and nothing has been done to address it.

Approximately two months ago, I noticed my rear passenger floorboard saturated with water after a rainstorm. It had been parked in the yard. Since discovering this, I keep my floor mats in the trunk. So that the floorboards are allowed to dry out properly. However, this has become a nuisance,as I don't want to potentially cause rust and/or corrosion to my floorboard.

My car suddenly died without warning no service or check engine lights car would not restart I was barely moving as I was leaving work still in parking lot getting ready to go through the security gate people I ask what's wrong with it say it seems car lost compression only had 12599 miles still waiting for mechanic to look at majority of people think the timing broke.

The vehicles ac is not working properly anymore. It seems the vents are stuck and it will blow cold air then switch to hot on its own. I am not able to control the temperature.

Heater core leak- at startup and during driving, keep smelling antifreeze. Antifreeze was low so added to full mark. Passenger floor board would be soaked after some days of driving. Had tests done to find leak. It is being diagnosed at leaking heater core. Found out the radiator and reservoir was empty or extremely low.

Rear bow on convertible top bends causing roof not to properly close while in operation. Gapping in roof will cause water to enter vehicle and stop cars operation, losing electrical functions such as power steering, braking or car may completing stall out.

I have contacted the dealer at 1575 86th street in brooklyn, NY in regards to the letter I recieved for the recall of Chevrolet Camaro vehicles, 2013 model years. The recall is for the ignition key that can cause serious injury or fatality. I have contacted them numerous times and we are yet to even hear back from them. This is a huge liability to anyone driving this car. The gm safety recall number is 14294. When I called in October they said only 2 weeks to order the replacement and schedule the appointment. I called again in November and they still did not have the replacement part and placed another order. Now it is more than a month later and I still do not head back from them. I called today and they are giving me the run around and suggested they will call me back. I purchased my car at this dealership and I feel this was a huge mistake. Please assist in this matter. I am tall and big, my legs come close to the ignition. I do not feel safe. It is unacceptable to wait over a month to hear back from the dealer in a matter so serious.

We received the letter that there was a recall on our zl1 Camaro. As it is stated in the letter ". . . Your gm dealer will remove the key from the flip key transmitter. . . You will be provided with 2 new keys. . . " this does not make it clear that we would no longer have a flip key nor that were going to saw off our old key. If we had known this we wouldn't have done it. The dealer's service department did not make clear what was being done either. We do not like that we no longer have our flip key. We realize that it was unsafe in some case somewhere but we have never bumped it with our knee. We tried to get the dealer to put it back the way it was but they told us they had already destroyed the old key. I'm writing this in hopes that you will be able to come up with a better solution. Having the flip key was one of the perks of having a Camaro.

Ignition keys recall.

I received a safety recall notice regarding my car's ignition key switch on Tuesday September 2. I tried contacting the henna dealership in austin, texas the next day to schedule an appointment to have this issue taken care of. The service department put me off. I then called again and left a message for a scheduling person. I did not hear back. I called the individual again the next day. She told me the dealership was dealing with 80 recalls so she could not figure out what my recall was about. She was argumentative and not helpful at all. I ended up calling the Chevrolet customer assistance center. I spoke with a woman who contacted the dealership for me. She arranged for me to take my car into the dealership on Saturday, September 6 at noon. I received a confirmation by email the same day and the following day, Friday September 5. I arrived at the dealership, which is an hour from my home, for my appointment. I was then told that the dealership was out of keys and that nothing could be done for me. I was never called or emailed about this. The service director told me that he had no idea what they would be receiving more keys. I explained to the man that this was unacceptable. He said there was nothing they could do and I would just have to wait. I have received no further information on this matter.

Right after purchasing vehicle, my husband drove it, and I sat in passenger seat and noticed that my airbag had not turned on. The indicator said off so I lifted my rear from the seat and sat down hard then the light said it was on. As we drove down the road about 15 miles at 55mph, the light went back to saying airbag off. I would lift my rear again and forcefully sit in seat and it would turn or on again. Since then I have had my car in to 2 different dealers, had the passenger seat sensors changed, the the air-bag modulator changed, and the sensors adjusted. When the auto tech saw what would happen with me in the passenger seat, he hooked up the computer to the car and it said I was not heavy or tall enough for the airbag. I am 5'8" and 165#, so it was not reading me at all. Since then every time I am a passenger in my vehicle, I need to keep an eye on the indicator light and when it is off, I need to pull my rear off the seat and sit down forcefully until the on light activates. The dealership said they didn't know where to go from here and were at a loss. So I am hoping NHTSA can help me. I did some research online and found that I am not the only Camaro owner with this problem. I enjoy driving my car but the passenger air-bag issue is a huge problem.
