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

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.

Cooling Temperature Sensor not working. Car Temp Gage stuck at C, fan always running. This has happened a couple time before My Chevy mechanic on South Orange Blossom Trail say he gets a lot of Camaros with same problem. Asked me to report so there may finally be a recall on this model. When I look up on Google i get this..... "A common issue with a 2019 Chevy Camaro convertible 6-cylinder experiencing problems with the temperature gauge is a faulty coolant temperature sensor, which can lead to inaccurate readings on the gauge, often showing a consistently cold temperature even when the engine is warmed up; this can be caused by a faulty sensor itself, a loose connection, or a damaged wire. " If you look at some threads, many are complaing about same thing

When I first got my car I noticed the car acting funny when I was taking off. I took it to the dealer ship and they said it was fine. So net time I went it was for an oil change. I asked them to look at it again and they said nothing was wrong. The third time I asked them to look at it they said its fine and it was working as it should .They told me it learns my driving. They also told me they adjusted it. Well it has done the same thing from day one and is still doing it. The car slips on take off and then sounds bad when it shifts and sometimes shifts erratically. .My 2015 was a great car and drove 100 times better. This car is only driven in the summer . I never drive my CAMARO's in the winter. My car is a2019 and it had 2 miles on it when I bought it. I just had in in for a oil change before i put it away and asked about the trans and they said it was ok. Its not ok.

The electronic power steering system failed during track driving. Driving aggressively for almost 30 minutes, the power steering assist failed to “assist”; the vehicle was able to be steered but only with great effort in turning the steering wheel causing a loss of control. The message “Service Power Steering” message appeared on the instrument cluster. Exiting the track and turning the vehicle off then on allowed the steering system to return to normal.

When driving all gages stop working all lighting inside and outside when driving. Happens sporadically. Took to Chevrolet and they said needed a battery so i changed and still happened. Took to performance shop and left for almost a month where a diagnosis was made that it was a corroded rear bumper wiring harness. I also found this problem on a forum with other cameros. He cleaned and it did not act up for a couple of weeks then on my way to work early one morning this week (dark outside) running approx 60 mph all of my lights went out again. My car still runs just no lights. Called Chevrolet to report safety issue with no resolution

2019 Chevy Camaro transmission is shuddering. In other words it feels like my car is running over rubber strips on the road between 40 mph to 80mph. I know there is several TSBs that GM has put out on this issue with the A8. Went to Lynn Smith Chevrolet on 07/06/2023 and was told since my car is out of warranty it would cost me 625 dollars to have the transmission flushed and have the new synthetic transmission fluid in it. They said that’s the first step GM wants service depts to do. I’m sorry but if GM knows this is a problem then there should be a recall on it. I know there are already class action lawsuits on this problem. I can’t afford to have my transmission drained 2 or three 3 times. It is causing safety risk when you accelerate and lose power on the interstate or it is sluddering as you pick up speed at a red light.Thought the problem was my tires so had 2 new sets put on and realized it wasn’t the tires.

While accelerating my Camaro begins to shake violently kind of like a shuttering. It happens on cruise control also. The violent shaking makes it hard to keep control of the vehicle. I looked online and found THOUSANDS of owners with the same problems. The weirdest thing is that my check engine light comes on for a few days then goes off for months. This absolutely needs to be recalled! I’m going in for my second opinion tomorrow but the last mechanic said I can replace the torque converter or that I might have a misfire in my engine. People need to be compensated for these expensive repairs, especially sense the car is so expensive. Gm had to know these parts were faulty. In no way shape or form, is there this many complaints about a vehicles parts and as a company they knew nothing about it. These mishaps are extremely dangerous and could be life threatening.

The rear window is separating from the roof. It seems to be a common problem with certain Camaros and other type GM convertibles. The original roof was replaced on this vehicle for same problem. The replaced rear window, roof is now separating from the roof again. (in less than 2 years since the original roof was replaced) GM/Chevrolet's only fix is to replace the entire roof. It appears to be a manufacturing defect with the glue/adhesive in the manufacturing process. Chevy will not honor or stand behind their product and want me to pay for the entire roof replacement. It is a known issue among Convertible Camaro owners. Chevy even issued a Technical service bulletin on this issue in November of 2019. Bulletin # 17-NA-216. It seems GM will only fix this issue if the vehicle within the 3 year 36,000 mile warranty. I believe this is a safety issue because the rear window could shatter while driving or become loose and fly off and hit other vehicle while at highway speed.

After driving approximately 4 hours at highway speeds of 65- 70 mph the steering became very difficult to move, then suddenly the car jolted in the intended direction creating an need to compensate back in other direction. Same issue encountered I had to force the steering in the direction to correct and stay in lane, again jolting in the opposite direction. This happened repeatedly until I could exit the highway. During city travel car responded normally. On return home after approximately 4 hours driving again, same situation no control of steering. Extremely dangerous situation, car is not road worthy. Brought to dealer, response after 3 days in shop - no codes so nothing to repair. Failure of Camaro steering due to rack and pinion, and control boards are found for many similar events during proceeding years of the car.

While driving I retracted the convertible roof and it wouldn't close. The "top secure" indicator came on, how ever it was not secure. This caused excessive attention off the road and since it was raining caused water damage. I took the car to Cox Chevrolet in Bradenton, Fl. service representative was Ray Ph# 9417492674. I showed him the picture of another customer with the same issue that had his car covered under recall. There must be a part or design issue if both sides have broken with exact similarities at different times and they are the identical parts. Ray said to contact Cheverolet since the dealership cannot cover the repair. I contacted Chevrolet customer service at Ph# 8002221020 and that rep said, your car is not covered because it was manufactured at a different plant location. I asked what does it matter which manufacturing plant it was if it's identical parts? The rep had no answer. They were going to charge me $745 to fix the issue. I explained, this car has already been here for the exact same issue on the driver side and you replaced everything because it was under warranty now it happens on the passengers side and your not covering the cost. Attached is the invoice from Cox Chevrolet and the invoice with details of another customer.
