ENGINE
Engine failure which required a full engine replacement. The vehicle is unmodified and the engine was replaced under warranty. The certified Chevrolet dealer that replaced the engine confirmed that the issue was the same bearing failure that is impacting the 6.2L L87 V8 engines. The engine in my Camaro is a 6.2L LT1 V8, which is not covered under the current L87 recall. The first indicator of the issue was a grinding noise coming from the engine when coming to a stop. This noise was most noticable when coming to a stop or accelerating from a stop. No warning lights or error messages ever appeared.

Subject: Inadequate Anti-Theft Security – 2023 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE To Whom It May Concern: I am filing this complaint regarding the lack of sufficient theft deterrent technology in the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE, which directly contributed to my vehicle being stolen in July 2025. Despite being a high-performance vehicle valued at over $50,000, the Camaro lacks a modern immobilizer system, encrypted key access, or any active anti-theft protections to prevent increasingly common theft methods such as relay attacks, CAN injection, or signal spoofing. My vehicle was stolen in under one minute from a secure location, and the incident aligns with a growing national trend of GM vehicles being targeted due to these vulnerabilities. 2 years of $1,000 payments for it to be easily stolen is outrageous. I had full coverage insurance and was enrolled in OnStar, yet the recovery process was ineffective, and OnStar was unable to track the vehicle in time. Chevrolet and GM have not provided an adequate explanation for why newer models are being sold without basic theft-prevention technology that is now standard in vehicles from other manufacturers. Given the scale of this problem, I believe this represents a serious consumer safety and security issue, and GM should be required to: •Upgrade security firmware or modules in vulnerable models •Offer retrofitting of immobilizer technology or free anti-theft solutions •Notify owners of the known risk and potential theft vulnerability I am requesting that NHTSA investigate the scope of this issue and determine whether GM’s failure to implement industry-standard theft prevention constitutes a violation of consumer safety expectations. Thank you for your time and attention.

AIR BAGS
The passenger and driver side roof rail air bags deployed without any crash impact just was driving around a corner and they went off there was no crash nothing was so scary I was also the only one in the vehicle at the time this happened. this also happened 2 days after Chevy had it. They had it to upgrade the system due to a recall. I called Chevy right away and asked them if the upgrade to my cars system had anything to do with the safety system they said no but they did not no what exactly it did do. This locked my seatbelts and caused my heated and cooled seats to no longer work it was looked at 2 days ago waiting for the cost estimate as we speak
