Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The component that failed is the 8-speed automatic transmission and torque converter on my 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS. The system experienced shuddering, slipping, and overheating, leading to unsafe driving conditions. The defective parts are no longer available for inspection because they are being replaced through a dealership service center, but the vehicle and records of prior repairs are available upon request. My safety and the safety of others were put at risk because the transmission caused hesitation, loss of power during acceleration, and unpredictable shifting. This created dangerous situations in traffic where the car failed to respond as expected. The problem has been confirmed and reproduced by authorized GM dealers during multiple visits. They have identified overheating and failure codes related to the transmission and torque converter. The vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer’s authorized service center (Chevrolet dealer) but not by police or insurance representatives. There were warning symptoms before the failure, including: Noticeable shuddering during acceleration Hard shifting, particularly in lower gears Transmission overheating codes detected by the dealership These symptoms first appeared at approximately 35000 miles and have recurred despite prior repairs under warranty.

LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
Potential Consequences:
The blind spot warning system stopped working, and yes it is available for inspection upon request. I have heard this leads to further electrical problems and am worried this may compromise my safety if not dealt with. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer. The component has not been inspected. There was a warning that popped up stating “service side detection system” that appeared randomly on my drive home the other day. I had not hit anything or done anything to the car that might have caused this. After a couple of rain storms, it appears that this is directly related to water intrusion.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The transmission temperature sensor has gone bad in my 2016 Camaro ss with 6.2L engine, GM has recalled thousands of 2016 vehicles with this very issue, these transmissions have enough issues as it is, and GM knows it’s an issue or they wouldn’t have already recalled all those other 2016 vehicles. It can cause damage to the already fragile/finicky transmission in the 2016 models and other years, causing overheating of the transmission and causing the car to go into limp mode, and in my case it didn’t even throw a check engine light, I took my car to a mechanic about a different concern and he told me and showed me the code, he cleared it out and It immediately came back and still no check engine light.it’s a P0711 code, faulty/dead transmission temperature sensor. My car isn’t acting right shifting and I’ve noticed other issues, but is it that sensor or is it one of the many other issues with the 8L45 and 8L90 transmissions? So if that sensor is an issue in many other 8L90 transmissions why do they think it’s not an issue in the Camaro? You can go on any GM related forum and read all the complaints for this issue, and there are recalls about it for other GM vehicles but not Camaro. And it’s not a cheap repair, and it depends on which wiring harness that in the car to how much of the transmission has to be taken apart to repair the issue.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Before purchasing a 2016 camaro last year I took it to a Chevrolet dealership for a safety inspection with no safety concerns found and after purchasing it around 57,000 miles went to another Chevrolet dealership to diagnose any electrical concerns occurring with the car that I noticed. There was nothing found but I still noticed humming sound and let them know and they found no concerns whatsoever. The battery was replaced twice as over the course of the year the electricals decreased in power. I then notified my insurance there was an issue with the car drawing power and it would not start. Upon checking the trunk noticed water had gotten into and possibly damaged the trunk/rear fuse block. I went through my insurance to fix any body damage but no electricals were fixed based on the insurance representative declining to accept liability for the damage and upon return of my vehicle, the repair facility started the car against my wishes and the rear fuse block in the trunk sparked and caused a fire to start in the trunk that continued for about a minute or two. Upon taking it to Chevrolet this year again after this, I was charged $800 for them to not diagnose anything but to say the x-connectors were burned up in the incident as well (I said this previously as this started the fire as it carries the currents from the fuse block) and to say they cannot find the source of the water leak/entry or replace the fuse block as the x-connectors and harness for the car, the first parts needed to be repaired to establish power to the car, have been discontinued. For more details on the cause, effects, and repair steps necessary but not been able to completed by GM/Chevrolet please refer to this service bulletin that I noticed was raised after I purchased this car upon researching the issue MULTIPLE chevrolet dealerships, ignored, didn't notice, and now are saying cannot repair and should be followed up on: 18-NA-375. Car is at ~70,000 miles currently.
