Power Train - filed 2026-09-06

Hard/Erratic shifting and feels like you’re driving over rumble strips. The day I purchased the car.

Power Train - filed 2026-08-16

I’ve been experiencing shuttering and hard shifting since day one of purchasing my car

Steering - filed 2026-08-06

The steering system stopped working suddenly. Sounds exactly like the recall but my VIN is not included in the recall. I had to replace the steering system at the local deal shop and I paid 100% of the cost. It only has 12,000 miles.

More for the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro

Complaints are reports filed by owners with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them, and counts rise with how many cars were sold, so compare years of the same model rather than different models. Crash ratings are NHTSA's own 5-Star Safety Ratings results.
