The back glass is separating from each of the bottom and sides of the top. GM knows that this is a major problem and only covered the original owner but I bought the car with just over 50,000 miles on it and it was a [XXX] bought car and I bought it from a dealership in [XXX] and I noticed the top after I got back to [XXX] with it. I was told by a GM dealership that GM is aware of the defect but they only said that they would fix it if I was the original owner and it was still under warranty. My son bought a Kia that had the head gasket problem and they replaced it with a brand new engine and he didn't have to be the original owner, the vehicle just had to fall under the certain miles to be covered. GM should be doing the same thing because it's a major safety issue. If you're going down the road with the windows rolled down and the wind tears it from the top that glass is going to hit something or someone. And getting hit by something like that can seriously hurt or kill someone. This should be a mandatory recall so people that are like me that buys a vehicle that has a known issue and the manufacturer is refusing to fix it just because someone isn't the original owner is just trying to weasel out of their responsibilities, it's not like it was just a few vehicles involved it's been several years of vehicles involved so they've had to know about the problem but they still chose to use those defective tops they'll fix it for anywhere between 2500 to 4000 to 5000 for parts and labor. That's a scam I don't know when the separation started because I had bought it used and I didn't see it until a few days later after I bought it and licensed it.. I can add photos of the entire car it's still like new INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
I am reporting a severe safety hazard involving my 2019 Chevrolet Camaro. The vehicle has suffered a total failure of its audio amplifier, resulting in a complete loss of all interior audio. This is not a convenience or entertainment issue. Because the amplifier controls all vehicle audio output, the car no longer produces any audible safety warning alerts or chimes. This includes the complete loss of: * Turn signal indicator clicks (leaving the driver unaware if indicators are active) * Seatbelt unfastened reminder alarms * Door/trunk-ajar alerts * Blind-spot monitoring audible alerts * Forward collision warning alerts * Parking assist sensor warnings Operating a vehicle without these critical sensory alerts creates an immediate, active hazard on public roads. The driver cannot hear warnings of imminent collisions, lane departures, or simple indicators like active turn signals. The vehicle was taken to an authorized GM dealership (Jake Sweeney Chevrolet) on July 7, 2026. A diagnostic check confirmed internal amplifier damage. A valid extended warranty claim was approved to replace the part. However, General Motors Executive Customer Service and the dealership parts manager have officially confirmed in writing that this critical safety component has been discontinued. No replacement parts or compatible alternative part numbers exist in stock at any dealership nationwide. General Motors /Jake Sweeney Chevrolet is telling me they are entirely unable to provide a functional safety replacement part for a 7 year-old vehicle, forcing me to operate a vehicle with fundamentally compromised driver-safety systems

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
The contact owns a Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle on the side of a residential road, she attempted to place the shift knob from Drive into Park. At that moment, the vehicle suddenly jolted and accelerated forward independently. The vehicle proceeded through a red light at approximately 20 MPH. The contact attempted to maneuver the vehicle to avoid colliding with traffic, but the incident concluded when the vehicle crashed into a nearby high school building. The vehicle was going 20 MPH at the time of the crash. The front of the contact vehicle crashed into the building. The property damage was a high school gate. The vehicle's final position ended in a high school gate. The air bags deployed, but the vehicle emblem on the steering wheel caused the consumer to have extensive injuries on her forehead. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. A police report was filed. The contact was the only occupant in the vehicle. The injuries sustained by the occupant were head injuries, broken left wrist, left side of her abdomen was bruised and so were both of her arms.

I've submitted a safety complaint #11733895. I wanted to give an update regarding GM Goodwill Assistance, which is 10% of $10,000 transmission replacement per Chevrolet. This is a known documented transmission defect from GM manufacturing, it is a major safety issue, the car was sold to me with GM/Chevrolet knowing about this issue, but they are putting the financial burden on the consumer. Diagnostic from Chevrolet confirms this defect and they basically are saying they won't help. This transmission should be 100% recalled for safety issues and I am just speechless it has not been. The random acceleration alone is extremely scary and totally unsafe. What do consumers have to do to get this recalled? Have a collision and kill or injure someone or myself? Something needs to be done. GM needs to take accountability and do the right thing RECALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS and fix the ones that need to be fixed.

The vehicle is experiencing a severe and dangerous transmission defect that manifests as intense shuddering and vibrations followed by instances of random, unintended acceleration. Specifically, while operating the vehicle at various speeds, the transmission fails to engage properly, causing a violent vibration/shudder. This is frequently followed by the vehicle surging or accelerating unexpectedly without increased pressure on the gas pedal. This condition creates a significant safety hazard as it compromises the driver's ability to maintain a constant speed and control the vehicle in traffic or during low-speed maneuvers. The random acceleration is unpredictable and poses an immediate risk of rear-end collisions or loss of vehicle control. General Motors (GM) has issued multiple Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) regarding this specific 8-speed transmission defect (shudder/vibration), yet they have failed to issue a safety recall. My vehicle began exhibiting these life-safety symptoms approximately two weeks after the 100,000-mile powertrain warranty expired in August 2025. A licensed transmission specialist has diagnosed the issue as a torque converter failure and transmission fluid contamination, consistent with the known defects identified in GM's own TSBs. Chevrolet has refused to remedy this safety defect at their expense, citing warranty expiration, despite their documented prior knowledge of the systemic nature of this failure. I am reporting this to NHTSA because the random acceleration component of this defect is a clear and present danger to myself and other motorists on the road.

Vehicle is doing a hard shift from first to second, severe shuddering, sometimes when braking vehicle acts like it wants to surge forward took to a transmission shop I have a bad torque converter and was told this is a problem with the 8 speed transmission from GM. This is a known issue with these transmissions that GM /dealership knew and refuse to fix. The vehicle stalled on me on a road at night where there's no stores, I'm a female alone on a dark road for about 30 minutes trying to get car to start. Luckily it did. This could've caused an accident and my safety was at risk being stranded alone at night. I was told to not drive the car until fixed. I do not have the funds to fix this issue and GM does not respond to requests, Chevrolet is not helping either.

Transmission Failures.The issue initially presented as intermittent trasmision shuddering, hesitation during accelaration, harsh and delayed shifting, and noticeable vibration, particularly at low speeds and during gear changes. These symptms progressively worsened over time and affected drivability and safty. Prior the failure, there were no warning lights or dashboard messages displayed. Based on professional diagnosis, they are consistent with internal transmission defects commonly reported for this model.(GM's-8 speed automatic transmition 8L45/8L90)Technical Service Bulletins TSB18-NA-335 and TSB16-NA-175. Chevrolet has denied reimbursement. The repairs performed to date have only provided temporary remedy, the issue remains ongoing and consistent with the known defects associated with the transmission.

I have noticed that my car is shuttering/vibrating. I feel it in the steering wheel/gas pedal to my seat. It starts at 35mph plus and at different speed intervals. I either have to decelerate or accelerate to get it to quit. My neighbor who is a mechanic at Maserati/Porsche dealer road with me to verify and also pulled up codes. None were set off. He researched complaints of same issues. Possible fixes could be from changing transmission fluid/flushes/torque converter replacement. Apparently a common issue problems reported. Under 80gs on odometer. Another reported high issue I had to take care myself. Was the back window coming unglued to top. The recalled 17s and 18s due to glue defects. I contacted GM/Chevy and the only thing they are willing to do is give me 230$ which doesn't even put a dent in the charge of a real fix.

Transmission failed and need to be replaced at about 60,300 miles, just after the warranty expired. Told by the dealership multiple times the hard downshifts and odd shift patterns were normal and not an issue. Turns out it was the transmission valve body failing, causing the entire transmission to fail. Components are not available for inspection. I was able to limp the car home and to the dealership as failure was mainly slippage. There were no warning lights. The transmission was serviced in at approx. 25,000 miles and wiring harness replaced.

Rear window glass in convertible top became delaminated from seal at all corners. Glass rattled when windows were down like it was going to blow off the car. This is a safety issue as the glass may fly off the car. The dealership said they will not warranty the top past 36,000 miles. This is third third top installed on this car. This defect occurs after about 1 1/2 to 2 years before a new one is needed.

While driving with Cruise control on doing 70MPH (+\- 5mph) the car was in fuel management mode so only 4 of the 8 cylinders were in use. When going on an uphill incline the car cycled to V8. Instantly, I had a loss of power for a second and then the entire engine locked up in the middle of moderate traffic. Providing maintenance log to show that it wasn’t a lack of maintenance

Was stoped at a stop sign. When I tried to accelerate the car acted like it didn’t want to go and the back wheels locked up causing a screeching noise. Before coming to the stop sign it felt like it was having a shuddering affect. Luckily there was no traffic and it finally shifted out but wouldn’t accelerate very well. I was able to make it home and the Check engine is now on. It was definitely scary experience and now I’m kinda afraid to drive it. This car is low mileage (less than 50k) and a daily driver.

I am reporting an issue with my 2019 Chevrolet Camaro 2LT RS involving a faulty torque converter. The vehicle began showing symptoms consistent with transmission shuddering and performance issues. After diagnostic evaluation at a certified Chevrolet dealership, I was informed the torque converter needs to be replaced and the transmission fluid flushed. Upon researching, I found that this problem is covered under a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) issued by GM for this specific model and year, indicating it's a known issue. However, my vehicle is now out of warranty, and GM has not issued a recall despite the safety and drivability concerns. I believe this defect should be investigated further, as it poses a risk to vehicle performance and potentially driver safety.
