Every sense the car was bought from the dealership and it would rain the trunk leaks and holds water to cause electrical damage and problems. I took it back to the dealership and they said they didn’t see a problem but there was a problem. Currently I am so hurt to have a car I can’t drive under raining conditions and now my trunk smell of moldy and its problems due to electrical issues. The trunk leaked enough to cover the fuse box caused lots of electrical problems.

I noticed an occasional shudder at highway speeds. Traveling between spokane to coeurd'lene, a 30 or so mile distance, two episodes each way. The shudders are noticeable and there were very slight shudders before which I thought were hesitations before the last time I drove the car. I have had a difficult time to get it in the dealer as soon as I mention shudder. I was able to schedule a transmission flush without mentioning shudder.

When I was driving on the highway going 65mph, what seems to be the transmission, kept stalling and wouldn't run any faster as I tried switching lanes. Almost hit the semi truck in front of me because my car wouldnt advance any faster. My vehicle only has 66,000 miles it's a 2016 Camaro v6 and already having transmission problems. It also doesn't go in reverse. Took it to the dealership and they didn't want to help me out because the warranty doesn't cover it anymore 60,000 being the end of it when mine was only 6,000 over.

I bought this car a couple of months ago and as you accelerate there is a shuddering sensation that you can feel. You literally feel like you're being shaken. I had to do a google search to figure out what was wrong with the car.

Car jerking when shifting at any gear, seems like transmission going out. When speeding it feels like shaking.

Purchased car with 20908 miles on 12/18/19. Noticed engine rpms fluctuating about 200 rpms when at steady cruising speed 2nd day of owning car. 3rd day noticed bad shudder when in v4 mode along with rpm fluctuation.

Car jerking when shifting at any gear, seems like transmission going out. When speeding it feels like shaking. Havent had the car a whole year yet smh. . . . Got a transmission flush done but problem came right back. . . Chevy says everyone is having the same problem but since no recall has been issued its nothing they can do.

I have almost had an accident twice based on the transmission not shifting properly and the car loosing traction between 1st and 2nd gear. Chevy has flushed the transmission 3 times with no change. 3 weeks ago the engine failed while I was trying to accelerate on a highway. This caused a truck to almost ram the back of my car and another car almost hit me as I tried to get to the side of the highway. I was able to drive it to the dealer. Auto nation Chevrolet on lee vista blvd, orl. Florida. They determined that it was a catastrophic engine failure. The engine has been taken apart into many pieces and much of it is sitting on the dealership shop floor. The mechanic said the engine failure was due to a defective valve casing and a defective spring. . Damaging the camshaft. All valves and springs and camshaft would need to be replaced. Chevy has declined my request for a new engine. . They said that decision is up to the dealership service manager. I spoke to him. . . He said that the cost to replace the engine must be within a few hundred dollars vs rebuilding the engine for him to authorize that the engine be replaced. . This is now 3 weeks in duration with no car, which cost me close to $50,000 and almost has caused me to be in 3 accidents. I am appealing for your intervention.

During acceleration and deceleration, the 8-speed automatic transmissions seems to jump as if it is missing gears. This has been an ongoing issue for some months. The vehicle was purchased brand new in 2016 with only 12 miles. Diagnostic testing has been performed and nothing has been found. However, this issue still persists. Also, the backup camera, radio, and entire mylink system went out. After diagnostics, it was confirmed that the hmi module was bad--the car was not 3 years old at the time. Unfortunately, this is a $1000 dealership repair ticket. Gm has stated that there is nothing they can do. Also, others in the dealership as well as outside licensed repair shops said they had the seen the same issue with the Camaro.

Jerking and growling and hesitating to shift going from 1-3 gear.

Vehicle equipped with 8 speed automatic transmission. Vehicle transmission will shutter when rpms are at 1500 in any gear. At highway speeds distinctive shutter in transmission at around 1500 rpm. Happens at the very beginning of acceleration process.

I am having issues with hard shifting when it has been idle or parked for a while. Hesitation when in lower speeds, jerking with acceleration. Jumping and hard jerking when I first start in the morning I have almost hit my garage door several times from the jerking and hard rocking. It started around 13000 miles I am at 16000 and its progressively getting worse.

Transmission stalls out during acceleration and and also lounges forward with out any acceleration very scared of driving my car in daily basis and have reported this problem to gm.

The 8 speed automatic transmission has a shutter at low engine rpm between 1200 to 1500 rpm. The shutter will occur in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th gear when engine rpm is 1200 to 1500. The vehicle has 10,000 miles on it. This happens on open roads in all conditions and at various speeds + gear.

My transmission jerks and rumbles, as if I am driving over rumble strops. It jerks when I put it into gear. It jerks and rumbles when I accelerate and decelerate. When I go from park to drive it jerks forward and actually move forward a few feet without stepping on the gas. And the same when I am stopped waiting for a light, it feels like I was hit from behind. Its a very rough and hard jerk forward. The transmission jerks changing gears in drive and while driving, even in reverse. Its a horrible scary rumble jerking. You never know when it will just take off by itself. The incidents happen on all driving conditions, city streets, highway, turning, slowing down, coasting. Especially turning it jerks in the middle of a turn. I have been experiencing this for over a year. I brought to the dealer and they stated they could not duplicate my concerns, but it did it when I drove off and brought it to their attention at that time. This is a continuous event for the past two or so years.

When you going down the road transmission 7/8 gear shutters like it's slipping.

The windshield fogs up and drips with air on the feet. No way to clear the increasing fog unless you turn the air-conditioning off and increase the heat there for on the 90+ hot and muggy day you are left with heat exhaustion or pulling over on the side of the roadways which is never safe. When it rains good luck deciding if you want to turn the window defoggers on and cause condensation or open the windows in the rain to get wet which makes the windows steam up completely or last resort is to turn the heat up on the defrosters and heat up the whole car. . Or again, pull over to the side of the road indefinitely or do not drive your car in 80% of the south's weather conditions. Really sad that gm and the Chevrolet dealerships fix to this issue is to say "welcome to the south" and laugh. This happens when its muggy out, raining, cool and wet, early morning or late evening. It only gets worse with the wipers, only gets better with higher heat for extended periods of time. So in essence most of that or those days.

Vibration at speeds of 45 - 50 mph. Vibration only occurs when vehicle is at operating temperature. If the vehicle is cold, the vibration is not present.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in the customer satisfaction program. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline to file a safety complaint. The failure mileage was 5,000.

I noticed a "scrubbing or grinding noise" in the rear end when I first get in the car after it has been sitting for a while. The noise is very noticeable when I make turns. Then after the vehicle is driving for a few minutes. . It goes away. I took it to 2 different dealerships, they both told me, it was normal, and these performance cars "has to be driven". .

Grinding noise from rear end when making slow right or left hand turns.

I bought my car in sept. 2016 after the first couple of months at random times the transmission makes a boom sound when slowing down from speeds over 55 mph or during acceleration from stop and go rush hour traffic it's as if the transmission has to catch up with the accelerator. I get monthly diagnostics and nothing shows up as an issue.

When driving slow, I can feel the car hesitate to switch gears then all sudden it jumps or nudges into second gear. It's like the rpms revs up then throws itself into second gear. Also when in sport mode, the vehicles gear/transmission becomes more apparent of vibration or struggles with the transmission and changing gears. When also putting car in reverse u can feel the car jump into gear before switching the gears. It's an abrupt transition.

When shifting from 1st to 2nd hear there is an issue with either the transmission or the engine. It almost stalled when shifting. This happens all the time. I've had the transmission finished already, but seems like it's having more issues. Started after I bought the vehicle, no real start date on issue.
