there is a burning oil smell, that is so pungent it causes nausea and burning of the eyes when driving the vehicle. have taken it to 2 separate dealerships, the first told me they could not find an oil leak and i would have to deal with it. the second dealership stated that it is a valve on the back of the motor and that there is nothing they can do about it. i was told not to roll down the windows and to leave recirculate on. called and spoke to gm directly and they state take it to a third dealer and they denied my request to send a master tech to check the vehicle. i am left with driving a car that leave me nauseated and is a possible hazard to drive.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2021 Chevrolet Camaro With Recaro verdict →
