Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2020 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy after the purchase. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle's mileage was 86,000. It was later discovered upon checking the VIN that the mileage was 120,000.
The automatic transmission power train and electrical software system failed, and components are currently disassembled and available for inspection at Legacy Chevrolet. Safety was put at risk due to a sudden loss of reverse gear and erratic shifting while operating, creating an immediate crash hazard. The problem was explicitly confirmed by an authorized dealer technician who diagnosed code P0746 and found catastrophic mechanical failure, including completely sheared and stripped metal teeth on the internal clutch hub assembly. Total transmission replacement is required at a cost of $5,400. This failure occurred after the mandated Safety Recall N242480630 software update was completed on June 25, 2026. GM is currently denying coverage under Special Coverage N242480631. GM Corporate Case #115531429.

UNKNOWN issue but when gas peddle is pushed and speed is above 65MPH the vehicles dashboard lights go out and the car starts to sound as if it is going to shut down and power to the vehicle is declined dramatically.
When shifting the vehicle into park and attempting to turn off car, vehicle will give a message on dash “shift to park” when the vehicle is already in park. This issue can cause possible rolling of vehicle for not properly being in park. Power draining due to instruments not shutting down properly. Possible theft of vehicle due to vehicle not locking while exiting. You have to remove from park and shift back into park a few times so the computer can actually recognize that vehicle is in park. A lot of 2017+ Camaros are having this issue. Needs to be addressed because it can cause people to be stranded due to drained batteries or theft of vehicle because vehicle doesn’t lock properly due to computer thinking vehicle isn’t in park.
At random times the car will get the check engine light (Code P2138 when scanned) & show a message on the dash saying “engine power reduced”. This happened to me twice while driving on the highway & 4 other times while driving on city streets. When this happens , I have to pull over to the side of the rode as fast as I can to avoid getting hit by other vehicles since the car looses power. The car has been to the Chevrolet dealership a total 4 times having the pedal replaced but the issue has not been fixed.
The "Safety Restraint system" service warning kept coming on the dash. The chevrolet place said they would have to change the "connectors" on the sensor under the passenger seat. So I had to pay them $100 to fix this. My passenger could have been in danger of NOT having an airbag deploy if needed if I was to get in a wreck! Yes the problem was confirmed by Westgate chevrolet in Burgaw, NC.
INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON AND I STAR WAS CONTACTED AS I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE WITH A LIGHT ON AND THEY STATED THAT IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE. I DRIVE TO WORK AND 5 MILES FROM WORK THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE OPERATING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I GOT THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER WITH 4 MILES AND ONSTAR DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND IT STATES ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I'M UNNERVED BY THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE AND NOW IT IS AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT GORDON CHEVROLET WHILE I AWAIT WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY CAR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
