๐Why This Matters
The single recall related to the automatic transmission is particularly alarming for a high-performance vehicle like the Camaro, where reliability is expected to be on par with its performance. For owners and enthusiasts alike, the possibility of wheel lock-up poses serious safety risks, particularly in dynamic driving situations that this car encourages. The fact that complaints are registered early in the vehicle's life further indicates a pressing concern that should not be overlooked.

My car has been sitting at the dealership since July 28, 2025 due to a faulty valve body from GM. The part is apparently back ordered but it has been 2 months now with zero estimate on when the dealership will get this part to fix my car. I have had 3 loaners and being requested to take the new loaner in for my fourth loaner which takes time Out of my day constantly having to switch out cars which I have also repeatedly put gas in and ends up with more gas than when it was given to me. Iโm very frustrated at the lack of answers of when my car will be fixed and given back to me as I continue making expensive car payments each month. What can be done for this frustration?

When I first purchase the brand new 2022 chevy Camaro LS, the car drove smooth. A. Few weeks later I notice the car did not smoothly shift into gear. From gear 1 to 2 the shift was delayed before kicking in. I have taken the car twice to chevy dealership because the car is still under warranty but because the technicians were unable to detect the issue ( no light on dashboard, no codes detected for service) they were unable to recreate/detect the issue I was and still currently experiencing. 2025, the check engine light came on the a code was detected from the system. P0700 - Transmission system.The car is drivable but there are times when the car does not kick into gear and stalls in the middle of traffic. From research and experience, I believe the transmission silinoid for gear 1&2 has gone bad. The car was purchased brand new and i have not had, nor have other system issues prior to the this issue. Once again the dealership was not able to detect this issues prior the issue becoming worse.

At 14000 miles my 2022 Camaro main rod bearings sized up, ruining the engine. This is the same exact 6.2 engine that is in the recalled GM trucks so Iโm not sure why it is limited to just the trucks and not the Camaros as well. I was denied warranty coverage because of an intake and engine ECU calibration not performed by the dealership. I changed oil and filters regularly and the ECU calibration had nothing to do with the rod bearings. I also have many group screenshots of other SS Camaro owners of later model years posting about the same issue I can share.

There is a security flaw in the software programming of the vehicle. In the 2019+ models of the sixth generation Camaro, they have added a check that requires you to depress both the clutch and the brake to start the vehicle. (Manual transmissions) This is a severe safety flaw because if you stall pulling across or into an intersection, you have to fully stop instead of promptly being able to restart the vehicle and move out of danger. Source: Owner and dealer employee. I would like to see this remedied with a software patch. There should be no mechanical reason the vehicle has to do this, as the engine and transmission are the same from 2016 thru 2023. This is a deliberate design flaw that should be remedied before someone is harmed.

BACK OVER PREVENTION
When the vehicle is in reverse - the grid lines are so thin and faint, they are almost invisible. This greatly affects how close I reverse to another car or object. Also in reverse: There is no warning bell or chime when I am close to an object. The grid lines should be more pronounced.
