STEERING

42 complaints

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the power steering became inoperable. The contact pulled over to the right side of the road, turned off, restarted the vehicle, and the power steering functionality returned. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the power steering needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V086000 (STEERING); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 125,000.

Sep 19, 2025

While driving, the vehicle suddenly lost all electric power steering assist, making the steering extremely heavy and difficult to control. This occurred without warning and significantly increased the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds and during turns. The issue occurs intermittently and temporarily resolves after restarting the engine, which suggests an intermittent failure. The defect matches the description in GM’s active recall (GM Recall N252497020 / NHTSA Campaign 25V175000) for similar 2017 Chevrolet Camaro models, involving a faulty printed circuit board in the steering gear assembly. This failure has happened multiple times and creates an immediate safety hazard. I have not yet had the issue confirmed by a dealer because GM and the dealership are requiring me to pay a diagnostic fee, even though this is a known safety defect on similar vehicles. The steering system has not been inspected by the manufacturer at this time. A warning message stating “Service Power Steering” sometimes appears after the failure, but not every time. No other warning signs were present before the loss of assist. This problem has occurred during normal driving conditions on public roads.

Aug 25, 2025

Cars power steering periodically goes out during ever drive you turn the car off and back on and it works for a little while and then does it again

Aug 20, 2025

The vehicle randomly started giving me a service power steering system message. Just got into my vehicle and now the power steering system will not work.

Jul 23, 2025

Steering assist failure and is not included in the 2018 recall of other General Motors vehicles. The failure is as described in the cars under the recall. GM has no desire to cover this component failure. This is a serious safety issue as it still can be steered but with great effort and could result in a serious wreck. The car has 12,000 miles and garage kept. There are no check engine lights. The battery is good with a full charge. The engine temp is good. The car is currently at the GM dealership and I am being told that it will be my responsibility to pay for it.

POWER TRAIN

32 complaints

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The service technician at the dealership linked the known issue to the torque converter and potentially the transmission system. The suspected faulty components are available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? While driving my 2017 Chevrolet Camaro, the vehicle intermittently and abruptly slows down and shakes/shudders violently, as if riding over rocks. This unexpected and dangerous behavior could easily result in a loss of control, especially at higher speeds or in traffic, putting both myself and other drivers at risk. This issue compromises the safe operation of the vehicle. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. The service technician told me this is a known problem with Chevrolets and stated that they currently have four other vehicles in their service department with the same issue. Given the frequency of this issue (as noted by the dealer) and the sudden onset without warning, I am concerned that this is a broader safety-related defect that warrants investigation. The technician stated multiple times that the issue is likely the torque converter, or in the worst case, a failing transmission. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? No, the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer directly, or by police or insurance representatives at this time. I’ve never received any notice from the manufacturer regarding the shudder and recommended fluid flushes. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lights or messages have appeared. The sudden shuddering and slowing down of the vehicle while driving occurs without any prior warning.

Jun 19, 2025

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle started shaking abnormally and shuddered. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a delay in the transmission before the transmission shifted hard. Additionally, while driving at slow speeds, the vehicle hesitated to go into 1st and 2nd gears. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Jun 02, 2025

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle shuddered and then intermittently lost motive power. The vehicle was able to be restarted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that there were metal shavings inside the transmission and the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 77,800.

So the rear window in the convertible top is coming on glued and it can cause issue water is starting to come in. I have seen alot of other cars and people complaining about this issue. When I contacted the dealership about this issue they kinda blew me off. To get it fixed is to replace the whole top at 3200 to 3800.

Apr 25, 2025

I have 2017 Camaro convertible, around 2020 I notice the rear window glass was separating from the top material. This car manufacturer should take the responsibility to repair the defect. There was an earlier complaint with NHTSA service # 17-NA-216

2017 CAMARO PURCHASED CAR ON FEBRUARY 2017; RECENTLY MY CAR HAS BEEN SHOWING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVERY TIME I GO OVER A SPEEDBUMP OR POT HOLE OR ANYTHING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO AWAY IN A DAY OR TWO AFTER THAT. THE THIRD TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON, I GOT A READING DONE AT AUTOZONE, SHOWED IT WAS TRANSMISSION FLUIDS OR TRANSMISSION SENSOR. FEW DAYS AFTER THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND TOOK IT TO ED BOZARTH, WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR, SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO DETECT FOR A WHOLE WEEK FROM 11/24/2020 TO 11/30/2020 WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY FINALLY GOT BACK TO ME AND STATED MY CAR IS READING P0711 FOR TRANSMISSION FLUID SENOR PERFORMANCE AND THEY NEED TO REPLACE TWO TRANSMISSION HARNESS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS NOT SURE HOW IT HAPPEN OR WHAT CAUSED IT. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE PART OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN:15111 SPECIAL COVERAGE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. WITHIN THE FIRST 3 MONTHS WINDSHIELD HAS ALWAYS FOGGED UP. ISSUE SEEMED MINOR AT FIRST BUT IS ANNOYING AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN RUNNING THE AC, I ALWAYS HAVE TO TURN ON WIPERS TO CLEAR-AND CONDENSATION IS ALWAYS RIGHT ABOVE DEFROST VENT.

Oct 05, 2019

WINDSHIELD CONSTANTLY FOGS REGARDLESS OF THE AC TEMPERATURE. THIS AFFECT VISIBILITY ON A CAR THAT'S ALREADY FAMOUS FOR HAVING TERRIBLE VISIBILITY.

Oct 11, 2018

IN HUMID CONDITIONS THE CAR WINDSHIELD WILL FOG UP (CONDENSATION). THIS IS CAUSED BY AIR LEAKING FROM THE FRONT DEFROSTER VENT. COVERING THE VENT RESOLVES THE ISSUE. GM ISSUED TSB;#17-NA-201: EXCESSIVE WINDSHIELD CONDENSATION, HVAC DEFROST DOOR FLUTTER TYPE NOISE HEARD - (JUN 16, 2017). HAD THE REPAIR PERFORMED IN 2017. THE ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED AND APPEARS WORSE NOW. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE W/ THIS GENERATION OF CAMARO. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT IMPEDES IMMEDIATE VISIBILITY.

Sep 23, 2018

THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP WITH AND WITHOUT ACTIVATING THE DEFROST. THE FOG OCCURS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVE AND OBSTRUCT THE DRIVER'S VIEW. THE FOG ALSO OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS POWERED ON AND IN PARK. HOWEVER, THE RISK IS THE VIEW OBSTRUCTION WHEN THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.

Sep 15, 2018

FRONT WINDSHIELD KEEPS FOGGING UP TO THE POINT WHEN DRIVING IT BECOMES A SAFETY HAZARD. TOOK IN TO GET IT FIXED BY DEALER ACCORDING TO THE FIX CHEVY PROVIDED AND THE FIX MADE IT WORSE, I CAN'T DRIVE WITH AIR ON OR WINDOWS WILL FOG UP AND INTERFERE WITH VISIBILITY. IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING.

While idling out of a driveway on Friday, 8/25/23, there was a warning on the dash that stated "low oil pressure, shut off vehicle immediately." I immediately shut the vehicle off within seconds of seeing this warning and towed the vehicle home. I've read that these vehicles-Camaro ZL1 are notorious for failed oil pumps. I have babied this vehicle and do not use it as a daily driver. I only take it out a few times a year and have only 18,000 miles on it. The vehicle is in stock condition and has not been modified which blows my mind that this would even occur on such a well taken care of vehicle that is so expensive and supposed to be the top the line. Of course the dealer was unhelpful due to it being pass what they consider warranty timeframe. I am hopeful that GM will assist in any way possible being that I believe GM installed faulty oil pumps on these expensive vehicles. Also I am a loyal customer to GM. Within the last 5 years, I have purchased 3 brand new Chevys-2017 Camaro ZL1, 2020 Silverado Trailboss, and 2021 Malibu RS.

My vehicle dies while going 60 MPH or at red lights, creating a dangerous situation in traffic or on the highway. At times when yielding it feels like I've been hit by another vehicle from behind, the transmission does not downshift normally, and the TSB (see attached) proves that General Motors knew about this issue and did not notify customers or recall the vehicle for repairs. I have 2 issues with my vehicle and both issues remain unresolved even after utilizing the power train warranty. My vehicle was taken to the dealership for repairs multiple times, the "check engine" light was on the vehicle, no one checked it, and General Motors did not honor its Power Train Warranty Obligations, "the defects remain unresolved". My vehicle is dangerous to operate, I have tried working with General Motors to arrive at a solution, "But I should not be forced pay additional expense for issues General Motors knew about a, issued TSB's warning dealerships, and made no effort to notify customers. I am reporting this issue to the NTSB before providing a 30 day Notice of Intent to sue, to General Motors

Driving back from several trips out of state. On I15, the car shut completely off, while moving. Everything powers off. Car still in motion. Have to push the ignition button to turn back on and resume power and turned the car back on. The has happened now 5 times since i bought the car brand new in 2017. The dealer has never been able to reproduce issue. Are my charging cables for phones and ipod shorting out the car?? I dont know. It's the only thing that might be an issue.

"Shift to Park " message on my DIC, apparently this is an ongoing issue with Chevrolet and GMC models. My son was trapped in the car for 15 minutes because the lock would not release, he kept turning the car on, shifting to D and and returning to park without much success. Now he opens the door before he turns the car off which is not safe.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated while his wife was stopped at a traffic light, the light turned green and the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The contact stated that his wife was unable to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that when he attempted to jump start the vehicle, the vehicle remained off, but the passenger’s side rear taillight illuminated, and the windshield wipers engaged independently. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after three attempts. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that the battery had failed. The vehicle was then taken to Connell Chevrolet (2828 Harbor Blvd, Costa Mesa, CA 92626) who diagnosed that the battery needed to be replaced. The battery was replaced, and the dealer test drove the vehicle but informed the contact that they could not duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 42,767.

My car has a torque converter shutter that I have been told is a common problem, but no recall for my year/model.

Jan 15, 2025

There are two primary concerns with this vehicle that, after further investigation, appear to be commonly experienced issues. While driving, the vehicle shudders unexpectedly and intensely, then the issue spontaneously resolves. Upon contacting the dealership, I was informed that this is a recognized problem. The service representative explained that moisture was accumulating in the transmission fluid due to a factory defect, resulting in the sporadic vibration. I was advised that a transmission flush using Mobile One would rectify the problem, but this measure proved ineffective. The dealership is now suggesting that the torque converter may be the cause. Separately, the rear window has detached from the convertible top. Despite my efforts to seal the gap, water still seeps into the vehicle during rainfall.

WHEN I AM DRIVING OR WHEN I START MY CAR EVERY TWO WEEKS OR SO MANY MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. AFTER DRIVING SO MANY MILES OR A DAY LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO BACK OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 10 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY TO FIGURE OUT WHY THIS MAY BE HAPPENING. THIS IS $150 JUST TO GET A DIAGNOSTICS TEST DONE. I HAVE HAD A DIAGNOSTICS TEST DONE ON THE CAR PREVIOUSLY WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED FOR FREE AT AN AUTO STORE. IT THREW THE P0024 CAM SHAFT CODE. I'M ANXIOUS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING.

I PURCHASED MY 2017 CAMERO WITH ONLY 36 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR MAINTENANCE WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF ME PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN TWICE FOR THE VIBRATION OF THE TRANSMISSION. AT FIRST THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A ISSUE WITH THE TIRES. I ENDED UP PURCHASING NEW TIRES, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FINALLY STATED THAT IT WAS A ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THEY HAD TO WAIT ON GM TO SEND SOME TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE MOST RECENT ISSUE I HAVE WITH MY 2017 CAMERO IS THAT THE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT CAME ON, THIS CAUSED MY CAR TO CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY REPAIRED THE STABILITY TRACK ISSUE BUT I NEED A NEW ENGINE OR TO HAVE THE ENGINE REBUILT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED A CODE#2 CYLINDER MISFIRE INTERNAL CODE DISPLAYED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT A NEW ENGINE WOULD COST ME AROUND $8900.00 PLUS LABOR. THEY STATED TO REBUILD IT IT WOULD BE OVER $10,000.00. THEY STATED MY WARRANTY WAS UP AT 60,000 MILES AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY OR GM CAN DO TO TO ASSIST ME. THIS IS THE FIRST CAR THAT I HAVE EVER PURCHASED AND IT 'S UNTHINKABLE THAT A ENGINE GOES OUT ON A CAR WITH 70,000 MILES ON IT. I ALSO KEPT UP WITH MY REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE . I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I would like to report a safety concern with my car having a strong shuddering or vibration, including the steering wheel which I’m unable to move. When this happens RPM remain below 3000 rpm as if the the gears were having trouble changing, the shaking remains while driving in the city at around 25-35 mph and highway speeds at around 65-76 mph. My car was under warranty when this started happening, the dealership flushed and replaced the transmission fluid and it took care of the problem for about 2000 miles (GM has several bulletins in regards to the “shake” on different model vehicles since 2014). When the shuddering returned, I returned to the freedom Chevrolet where I bought the vehicle (actual mileage 53768) and explained the shuddering returning. I was advised to leave the car which now has been at the dealership for months and they refuse to fix the problem stating it is out of warranty. I provided all the bulletins I found on related issue which GM has stated they fix the problem by swapping the transmission on new cars but nothing has been done on the cars that have the existing problem because “there is no recall” as the service advisor stated. This problem could’ve been resolved when I took the car the first time but I wasn’t aware of the severity of the problem or that I would have so much trouble with the dealership now. All I asked is to honor the warranty as the issue was brought up when the vehicle was still under warranty and has less than 60,000 miles.

Got trapped inside the car in 100 degree weather plus humidity. The car started the whole and operated perfectly fine while a message prompted on the dash. After doing a push to start that morning before work. The car runs for 10mins until it shuts off. That morning closed myself in to get ready to head to work. Remote not detected prompted. It said it three times that day. The last time it said it I was heading home after getting food. After a push to start that’s when it trapped me inside. Called 911 in Rocky Mount Nc. All they were worried about is a OnStar button. If I had to wait on them probably would’ve been dead. Cause they have to ask a multitude of questions. Rescuers never came. While OnStar was on speaker I thought to check to see if I had the app available to unlock the doors. Usually I don’t pay the bill for it thought the remote way was better. Due to the fact that the app takes a while to upload and could update at anytime as well as signal issues in certain places. Luckily it was setup on autopay. Although it did take a little while to load I was kind of at ease knowing OnStar was still on the speaker. Spoke with a Gm specialist about doing a recall. Instead expressed that, that’s if my vehicle is even eligible for an upgrade. Had suggested the installation of physical unlock levers instead they ignored the suggestion. This is a deadly safety hazard not only for myself but for others as well. Especially if they are not alert about it. When I found that the key fob wasn’t rechargeable inside the vehicle after being trapped inside it. I bought a battery from the Chevy company that was brand new but still a dead battery. Which caused me not to be able to start the vehicle at all. The only thing that help was recharging the battery on the Apple Watch charger by removing the battery from the key fob. Not everyone knows that and still isn’t a good and or safe reliable method to use cause of uncertainty of battery life. Let the car go back for this reason.

The blender door that controls the air flow will close all the way and causes fog build up on the front windshield constantly whether it's cold or hot outside. It also randomly changes from hot to cold during driving. This is a concern due to drivability with the windshield fogging up or the comfortability of driving in extreme conditions ie... Hot, cold, or rainy conditions keeping the temperature in the car to see. Thank you for your time.

Shudder in the transmission. My camaro shudders between 40 and 50 mph. It had a recall and was taken in for the repairs. It was a transmission fluid flush and a change in the fluid. Something like that. The problem is shudder isn't fixed it was for a while but its back. There's definitely something still wrong with this. Is it causing the car more damage? I believe GM should repair all the recalled vehicles right! This is an issue and a huge nuisance. Shudder problem is still there!

The safety retention cable associated with securing the the driver's seat belt to the driver's seat broke. The stainless steel cable, being approximately 1/4" to 5/16" in diameter, became disconnected from the entire driver's side seat belt. Making the seat belt totally unusable to the driver of the vehicle. It is unknown what caused the cable to because cut and/or fail but, I am a 30 year military aviation maintenance veteran who has seen my fair share of material failure and the manner in which this cable failed is absolutely due to a material defect.
