General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2017-2021 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles. The plastic "Camaro" emblem, located on the steering wheel air bag cover, may separate during deployment of the frontal driver air bag.
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)

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

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. Medical treatment was needed for the injuries including surgery's. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 69,000.
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.
