I am writing to report a serious safety issue I experienced with my Chevrolet Camaro, which I believe may be related to a broader mechanical defect affecting General Motors vehicles. Approximately two weeks ago, while driving on the highway, an “ESC” (Electronic Stability Control) warning suddenly appeared on my dashboard. Immediately after, my vehicle began losing power and eventually shut down completely. I was fortunate to be able to coast to the shoulder to avoid a hazardous situation in active traffic. Believing the issue might be battery-related, I contacted AAA for assistance. However, a jump start was unsuccessful, and the vehicle remained non-functional. I then had it towed to a Chevrolet dealership for diagnosis. The dealership replaced both the battery and the starter, after which I was able to take the vehicle home. Unfortunately, within less than a week, the same issue occurred again — sudden loss of power and inability to restart the vehicle. Upon further inspection, the dealership concluded that the engine itself is failing and could seize at any time. This raises a significant safety concern. A sudden engine shutdown, particularly at highway speeds, presents a major risk not only to the driver but to surrounding motorists. I am aware that Chevrolet has issued a recall affecting certain Silverado models for engine-related defects that appear to cause similar symptoms. Despite this, no such recall has been issued for Camaros, even though I am experiencing nearly identical issues. I strongly urge the NHTSA to investigate this matter further, as it appears there may be a pattern of failure in GM engines that is not limited to one vehicle line. Chevrolet’s failure to address this problem, or acknowledge it in the Camaro lineup, places drivers at unnecessary risk.

The infotainment system's screen will go black and lock the radio on the last channel and volume setting and cannot be changed. When it goes black it also disables the OnStar safety system. If I were in an accident when this happens I would be unable to call for help. This happens almost every time I drive the car.
