Problems with 2010 Chevrolet Camaro ENGINE

On average, the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro starts to “feel” problems with the ENGINE and its various aspects after 69 183 miles.

Recently reported ENGINE problems on 2010 Chevrolet Camaro

I have the 2010 camaro v6, with only 67,700 miles. like too many others, the check engine light came on and it gave a p0008 error code for premature timing chain wear. why hasn't gm issued a recall for the camaro with this engine when they've issued a recall for nearly all other vehicles with this engine?!? i should not be facing an estimate of over $2,000 to replace the timing chain with only 67,200 miles!

Had new timing chain added with oil change engine locked up. insurance won't, help. place i bought the car won't help

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. while driving 60 mph, the engine seized and the vehicle failed to restart. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the timing gear needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. a dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was 106,000.

The timing chain needed to be replaced at only 100,000 miles. garage stated that it was so bad that engine could have failed and ignited a flame in the engine.

I was driving home one day and the car no longer wanted to go so i slowly and carefully rolled down a hill and went into the parking lot the car no longer wanted to start i thought it was the battery or the alternator so i changed both i even checked my oil to make sure i was good on that end i ended up getting the car towed back to the house the mechanic checked it out and no codes were popping up the car was stationary and ran but i tried to go down the street and it just stopped then the area around made some strange noises and the mechanic said it might be the engine i then took it the shop and i was told it's the engine i just didnt not know what the issue was it's a 2010 camaro 6 cylinder with a 3.6 llt engine and many people have had issues with it but i don't know if chevy ever did anything about it it was on a city street when it stopped its just been sitting since it went bad and the 2012 and up models engine cost around $1700 but the 2010's engine costs over $3000 many people state that it's more expensive because of how many peoples engines have gone bad and it's usually around 100k miles it's was always serviced and when it would stop the steering wheel would lock up and would not want to start

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. the contact stated that the reduce engine power indicator illuminated while driving 60 mph. the failure occurred several times while driving various speeds. the contact stated that the battery was replaced once as a possible cause of the failure. the contact was able to coast the vehicle onto the road shoulder. once the vehicle was restarted, it operated normally. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 114,000.

While driving my 2010 chevy camaro ss on the interstate home from work all of a sudden i lost power all my interior lights and dashboard warning lights started to flash on and off car would surge then lose power than surge lose power steering was very difficult had no brakes merged over to the shoulder to try to get into a safe position and was calling nine-one-one when i noticed smoke coming out of the left front compartment of the camaro under the hood and then the smoke turn to a rust burnt looking color and then noticed that the hood was starting to banned from the heat underneath it and at this time i tried to get out of the vehicle but the electrical system was burnt and had to use a pair of pliers to open up the door lock because my interior door locks would not function got out of the car called nine-one-one and within 5 minutes there was flames coming up from underneath the hood the hood kind of popped open and flames took over the whole front of the car and the engine compartment fire truck of course got the fire out but the car was a total loss

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. while the contact was driving on a major highway, there was a drastic reduction in speed without warning. the vehicle was taken to deacon jones chevrolet (1115a n brightleaf blvd, smithfield, nc 27577, (919) 934-8101) where it was diagnosed that the timing chain needed to be replaced and the vehicle was out of warranty. the contact was uncertain if the failure was related to the manufacturer service campaign: 12-06-01-009e apr 14 (engine - timing chain kits and chain guide replacement). the vehicle was not repaired and was parked at the contac'ts residence due to the failure. the manufacturer was notified and did not assist. the approximate failure mileage was 57,000.

Earlier in 2018, the car was intermittently throwing a p008 code and check engine light with no noticeable difference in the mileage or running. it would come on, then go off for weeks. oil was changed every 3-5000 miles. now the light is on and will not go off, showing only the same code of p008. i can not pass yearly state emission inspections with the check engine light on. the local gm shop indicated that the code means that i need a new timing chain. i have the 3.6 liter motor with 92000 miles. for other gm models with this issue and the 3.6 l motor, gm extended their warranty and covered the cost of replacing the timing belt, but they excluded the camaro. i have received estimated costs of 1200 to 2100 to replace the timing chain. this cost is more money than i have, but i may not have a choice. i do not want to be on the road when the timing chain breaks and i am in the middle of interstate traffic.

I have the v6 2010 camaro and like many others that i have researched on the web have the p0008 error code for premature timing chain wear that started at around 80k miles. there has been a recall issued on just about every other car that has this engine in it. it is ridiculous that gm would not issue it on this car as well full on knowing that this would have the same problem.

Vehicle has had a code of p008 intermittently then permanently since 68000 miles, it is now at 99,500 miles. the code relates to timing chain stretching which is causing engine misfire. same problem with identical engine has been addressed in form of warranty extension for several vehicles, including cadillac cts, extending warranty to 10 years or 120k miles. this has not been done for the camaro for reasons which elude me. occasional problems with stalling and reduced power (especially in situations requiring the additional power), as well as engine "roughness" certainly cause safety concerns for me. in addition, the problem with the passenger safety bag seat pad sensor has been ongoing and is also not recalled, although the system keeps passenger airbag off in the presence of a passenger due to a short in the pad, also well-documented and clearly a safety hazard. the interior lighting system is simply a nuisance and not a safety concern at this time. the cost of repairs is staggering, and i've never seen an instance where a timing chain needed to be replaced during the expected operating period of a vehicle with normal use. clearly it is a design flaw which needs to be addressed, as it has been with other vehicles utilizing this engine. the number of instances which go unreported and simply get repaired at the owner's expense is also quite significant, according to the research i have done. please note that this problem started intermittently in late 2016 and has become a continual problem as of this writing. the check engine light is always on at this point, with the p008 code.

Vehicle overheating resulting in shutdown - i've taken the vehicle into 2 gm dealerships who first replaced the water pump and flushed the system after the vehicle stranded me in the middle of a highway intersection. when i came to a stop i heard the fans startup and the temperature rose to 250f+ in about 30 seconds and initiated an engine shutoff procedure, which cuts off all power to the car. at that point i was dead in an intersection of a very busy highway. this happens without warning and does not initiate a event to the car's computer. the gm dealer said they consider an overheating event a notice and not a warning event so it is not recorded on the cars computer even though it causes the car to be shutdown. this has occurred 2 times in the 6 months and i have replaced the water pump, radiator pressure cap, flushed the system all on advice from the gm dealer to correct for this problem without success. the second time this occurred was driving on a highway and the vehicle lost power as i got to a border checkpoint resulting in me being stranded on the highway for an 1.5 hours waiting for a tow truck. i had the car towed to a another gm dealer who told me there is nothing wrong with the car. they don't seen to know what is causing the issue as they are unable to replicate the issue when i bring the car into them and there is no event for them to track.

P0008 timing chain code coming up for v6 engine (2lt model) at 70k miles. reading several forums and researching that this is a known issue on other gms with the same part. while they granted 10 year/120k warranty for other models, the camaro is left out. cost is anywhere from $1800-$3000. not sure why camaros are not being included within the recall when we have to same parts and issues. please assist!!!

Engine light is on, several codes, three of which have a technical service bulletin. codes are p0007, p0008, p0017. technical service bulletin number is 374076. vehicle has loss of power. do not want to drive for fear of throwing off the timing since all of these involves positioning sensors for the camshaft and crank shaft.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. while driving 30 mph, the service engine indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the timing chain failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the vehicle was taken to community chevrolet (200 w olive ave, burbank, ca 91502) where it was also diagnosed that the timing chain failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the contact should speak with nhtsa. the approximate failure mileage was 58,000.

The gm 6.2l ls engine has a serious defect with the valve train that causes the engine to drop valves into the cylinder, and lock up the engine while driving. the fuel management system that makes the engine operate on less cylinders while at cruising speeds, causes the lifters to stick. this results in excessive clearance between the valve and rocker arm, and the beating action knocks the keepers out. when this happens, the valve drops into the cylinder, and the engine locks up. this primarily happens while driving at highway speeds, which results in loss of steering, loss of brakes, and in cases like mine with a manual transmission, when the engine locks up, the rear wheels also lock up, and the vehicle slides out of control. this happened, it was raining, on a straight stretch of divided 4 lane, at 55mph, which caused the vehicle to slide off the road, and only because it was on a saturday morning and there was very limited traffic, we were not injured or killed. i special ordered this vehicle from gm, it was serviced only at the dealership it was purchased, and was treated with extreme care from day one. being that the warranty had expired, the dealership made an estimate that it will take $8,200 to replace the engine, and it only had 51,000 miles at the time. after this happened to mine, i have found that this situation is a very common occurrence with the 6.2l ls engines. gm has done nothing but turn their backs to millions of customers who are driving a vehicle that can lose steering, brakes, and control of the vehicle, at anytime while driving at speeds of 60+mph. this is a major safety issue to not just the people driving these vehicles, but anyone who is driving near one of these vehicles when this occurs. gm needs to be accountable for the safety of their customers, and the general public.

We where driving looking at a local subdivision and we were doing 35 miles a hour when we hit a deer all air bags came out and i broke my wrist and my friend hurt his arm as well i was in the passenger side with my set belt on and when we hit the deer the air bag came out full force that i broke my wind shield as well

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. the contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was driven to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the timing belt was stretched and needed replacement. the contact was also notified by the dealer that the failure was a common occurrence. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 68,000.

In first three years, the electronic ignition module was replaced three times. on the third time, it was found that the ignition wiring harness was not for a camaro. it was incorrectly installed at the factory. secondly, just three weeks ago, four of my car's six fuel injectors went bad. my car only had 74,000 miles on it. all six injectors were replaced at my cost of $2812.00! outrageous! both times, my car was being driven on a city street.

The engine light went on and it was brought in for service. i was told the code p0008 meant that it had a stretched timing chain which would need to be replaced and is a very expensive repair. i recently found out that this is very common in other chevy engines and the power train warrantee was extended to cover these repairs in other engines, but not my camaro. i currently only have 73k miles and would like to see chevy fix the issue as it has been done with the other gm cars.

Engine light illuminated with p0008 obd-ii trouble code: engine positions system performance bank 1. twice was told by dealership it was an oil issue even though no oil change alerts came on and check engine light kept coming back after service (occasionally intermittent). mpg was negatively impacted during regular operation and occasional rough idling at stoplights. at 77,000 miles (and just past the 7 years covered by extended warranty), was finally told this was a timing chain issue and $1,700 to fix (of course not covered). research on stretched timing chain from p0008 error for camaros indicated many others with issue and extended warranty up to 10 years/120,000 miles issued by gm for other vehicle models using same engine. bulletin/warranty should be extended to affected 2010 camaros.

Check engine light came on. car was in motion. took to dealer for diagnosis: need to replace the timing chain on a car with 44000 miles on it. car usually sits in winter. all maintenance has been performed by the dealer. ordered the car and purchased it to keep it. always hand washed. it is the v-6 engine and i understand that they will only repair this engine on cadillacs & some saturn models. it is the same engine used in various vehicles. i feel that this is very premature. i have never had to replace a timing chain. i understand that the gears are plastic and the chain is metal. i do not feel that this should be a cost to me as this is designed to fail. im sure i am not the only one this has happened to.

My cars "engine light" came on around 120,000 miles so i took into the dealership and it read a code of p0008 engine timing. they told me that it was due to dirty oil. i bought the car used a little over a year ago with close to 80,000 miles on it and i keep the oil changed between every 3000 to 4000 miles. i've asked around to a few other shops their opinion and they tell me the same thing. the price im getting quoted counting parts and labor is close to $1300 and i cant afford that kind of bill. it appears that if others are having this same issue then a recall should be broadcast out and be covered under warranty? i'm a die hard bow tie guy and all i've ever owned was a gm cars and trucks. i currently have my 2010 camaro a 2003 chevy truck with only 121000 miles and a 1971 chevy truck that im restoring. is there anyway that yall could do something about this issue everyone is starting to have with these? i know for a fact that enterprise chevrolet had a camaro in this week with the exact same issue as well as a few others i've talked to. *tr

Timing chain. took car to dealership to diagnose check engine light. revealed code p0008 which was later found to be an issue with a stretched timing chain. vehicle had just over 50,000 miles and even the dealer admitted it should not have had this issue. after research, discovered that the same engine used in the 2010 llt camaro was used in other gm vehicles---but those vehicles had power train warranties extended to 10 year/120,000 miles to help cover this potential issue. this was not done for the camaro, so i was forced to pay nearly $1400 to repair my car since the warranty had expired. why was the warranty not extended on the camaro which uses the same engine as those other gm vehicles??

Obd code p0049 - evap canister purge valve: replaced twice already. needs to be replaced again at 113,000 miles. odb code p008: timing chain issue. replace at 48,000 miles. needs replacement again at 113,000 miles. no signs of malfunction other than check engine light on. fails to pass massachusetts annual inspection due to obd codes present.

2010 chevrolet camaro v6 premature timing chain replacement. after a diagnostic testing from sandy sansing chevrolet in pensacola, fl, i was notified the the error code p0008 needing replacement of a new timing chain kit. my camaro only had 97,000 miles and i was ocd on my oil changes and maintenance. i filed a case with gm and my case was denied. a simple search online of 2010 chevy camaro timing chain results in an extreme amount of complaints with the 2010 chevy camaro having the worst problems compared to other chevrolet products, with the #1 problem resulting in complaints of the premature timing chain wear. gm vehicles including the buick enclave, chevrolet traverse, gmc acadia, and saturn outlook obtaining the gm 3.6 liter v6 llt engine was issued a bulletin on 02/09/2011 to all gm dealers marked urgent- distribute immediately. subject premature timing chain wear- program. gm announces knowledge of faulty timing chains, however refusing to include the 2010 camaro v6 3.6 liter llt engine. according to master mechanics search online regarding this engine... timing chains are designed to operate at twice the max engine oil temp and at 2x the expected engine life. 97,000 miles is not an expected engine life. the mere faxt that these engines started seeing chain failures in some cases under 10,000 miles proves definitively that there was at the very least a quality defect with the timing chains in these engines . gm refused to acknowledge or accept responsibility of their defect pushing the cost of myself and other consumers. i have also filed a case with this information to my attorney general office. gm ignored several requests for documentation that they are denying responsibility for my timing chain issues. gm needs to reimburse customers who had to pay for this defect in their lack to respond to customers complaints.

Having the error code p0008 show up on my camaro 2010 at 100,000 miles seams to be a stretched timing chain. loss of power high gas.

I have 2010 rs v.6 camaro , with problem p0008 bank 1 engine, needs timing chain, miles 58778 on 8-2-16 . i seen many complaints of same issue. engine light was on, pulled code. p0008

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. while accelerating at low speeds, the vehicle barely accelerated and the check engine light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the metal timing chain damaged the plastic timing gears. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was 76,000. updated 09/27/16*lj updated 10/05/16.*jb

P0008 & p0017 engine code on 3.6 v 6 diagnosed by dealer to be stretched timing chains. 52,724 miles cost to fix $3000. other gm vehicles with the same engine extended warranty of 10 years 120,000 miles. camaro needs to be included in recall.

Engine check light came on and i took the car to pine belt chevy in lakewood, nj. engine code p0008 & p0017 for camshaft position correlation on 3.6 v6 engine. vehicle diagnosed as needing timing chains. car only has 52,721 miles on it. estimated cost to repair $3,000. research indicates that gm has a recall on many different makes and models for timing chain failure with the 3.6 v 6 engine with the same timing chain part numbers. gm has extended the warranty to 10 years and 120,000 miles on the affected makes and models on all vehicles except the camaro. gm bulliten 10287. gm needs to step up and include the camaro to its timing chain recall.

Check engine light code p0008 & p0017. dealer diagnosed needs timing chains on 3.6 v6. milage 52,724 cost approx $3,000. not covered under warranty. other gm models with 3.6 v6 engines covered 10 years 120,000 miles under customer satisfaction program 10287. camaro not included. needs to be included in recall.

My light engine came on at around 100,000 miles, so i figured it was because i needed to have my 100,000 mile maintenance work done, which was a regular tune up, which included, change of spark plugs, and change of engine oil, transmission and differential oil change, which i did by taking it to the dealer i purchased the car from new in 2010. when i took the car in it was working fine with no problems and was running very smooth but after they completed the work and 560.00 dollars later the care came out with very bad idling and missing a lot and losing power! i took the car back and they told me it was because the timing chain was bad and needed to be replaced! i don't agree with their diagnostic and feel they are doing something wrong and are trying to cover it up, so i started to research the matter to find out that there are a lot of other camaro owners having the same issue! someone needs to do something about this matter i don't think an engine's chain should go bad at 100,000 miles! the dealer wants me to pay 1600.00 to have it replaced, which i think its outrageous considering there are a lot of problems that have been reported on the same issue! i believe it is dangerous driving a vehicle with a faulty timing chain for it loses power when you are trying to accelerate when crossing intersections or switching lanes!!!

Tamara recall. the air bag light is on check engine light is on the ac is on and off.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. the contact stated that the engine light was constantly illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the timing chain needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not covered under warranty. the failure mileage was 89,000.

2010 camaro 3.6l v6 cel p0008 callout stretched timing chain. common issue with the gm 3.6 l engine. gm issue a extended warranty for this issue bulletin no. 11340a csc-10043857-8394. extended warranty 10yrs. or 120k what ever comes first. provides owners additional protection for the timing chain. gmc acadia, saturn outlook 2007-2009,cadillac cts,srx,sts ;2009 model year buick enclave,chevy traverse, what they all have in common is they all use the same part number timing chain as the 2010 camaro. the above mentioned vehicles get the timing chain replaced at no charge but camaro owners have to cover the cost of over $2k. the camaro's need to be added to the gm extended warranty so the timing chain replacement can be cover. makes no sense to cover 98% of the cars that use that timing chain part number and not the last 2%. pn. engine timing chain kit acdelco gm original equipment 12651450

After putting gas in my car 1 mile down the road my engine started to knock i took it to the mechanic he said engine was bad i called gm for help i was under the hundred thousand mile warranty but the year of my car was out of warranty by 8 year gm told me take it to a dealer and they would pay to have it looked at their dealers said it needs a timing chain i had timing chain replaced once already on it at 51000 miles and now at 96,000 miles it went again i made appointment for following week to get it fixed they told me i could drive it but too baby it the day before i was supposed to get it fixed the engine locked up on me and was stranded with no cell service with my daughter not to mention it was snowing out after looking into it i found out these engines are known for burning oil like a couple quarts or 3 between oil changes these engines are in the cadillac cts and a bunch others and are known for weak timing chain gm extended the warranty on those tires for 120000 miles 10 years but they refused to do that for the camaro which has the same engine if they did not tell people to change oil at 15000 miles or 10000 miles this problem would never happen also there is no oil low oil light so when you go by what your car tells you to you will lose your timing chain this is gm's fault they have you go too far in between to change your oil and these engines burn oil bad and gm has known for years if you go on camaro forums that's all you hear about with the 2010 camaros and cadillac cts and acadia rayburn oil bad after von holzen ashland wisconsin told me gm would not help they offered me $1,000 for a new car that is a slap in the face how disrespectful can you be it seems like gm only wanted to get me in the doors of their dealerships so i would buy a new car because they knew my car was already out of warranty so i offer to hv it looked at if you're not going to help.

I have had check engine light on in the vehicle several times, codes p0008 and p0017 timing chain. the vehicle was taken to several chevy dealerships for diagnosis per gm and chevy, both times they stated the timing chain should be replaced. the first time the camaro was still under warranty the carmaro lost power and began to shake, i pulled over put the car in park and noticed a weird idle and shake. i was told after contacting gm and chevy that they are aware of the problem and need has to meet a certain number of complaints before they can include the 2010-14 camaro into the timing chain recall and extended warranty for 10 years and 100,000 miles. as they have for other vehicles with the same timing chain problem. this is not right, my vehicle has being parked for 1 year since this started.

Reduced engine power message

One evening i got in my car and turned the heater on. immediately, my windshield fogged up and the air coming out of the vents had a very strong odor, which smelt like coolant. for the entire drive (20 min) i could not get the windshield to defog. the next day, i drove my car and it was running extremely hot (about 220-250f). when i parked, i noticed that my car was leaking coolant. i tried to locate the source of the leak, but it was leaking from the middle of the car- about where the radio is. not being able to locate the leak, i filled up the radiator with water to get me home without over heating. when i got home i found a large puddle of coolant where my car was parked overnight. after doing some research, i found many other camaro owners who had foggy windshields, coolant smell in hvac system, and leaking coolant. they said these were the signs that the heater core "went out." i then went to look near my heater core, and sure enough, i had coolant on my passengers floor board and found drips of coolant below the heater core. many of the camaro owners have shared their experience with having this problem repaired and it sounds like the front seats, windshield, and dash have to be removed to replace the heater core. this is on average about a $2000 repair at a dealership. with how many cases there seems to be just from a quick search online, this should be issued a recall! this is also a safety concern- hot coolant could have dripped on my passenger's feet and burnt them.

The water pump on my 2010 chevrolet camaro rs failed while driving .vehicle only has 38,300 miles on it. since 1962, i have owned 20 gm vehicles, but never had a 'water pump' failure on any except this car. i did notice many other chevrolet cars (impalas) with same 3.6 v6 engine hah had water pump failures.

The check engine light illuminated. read the code and it comes up p008. this code is for the timing chain. in doing research on this issue there seems to be numerous complaints regarding this problem. found out that gm has extended the warranty for this engine issue where it is used in other gm vehicles but not for the camaro. i don't understand why the camaro isn't included when it has the same engine as the other gm vehicles. these other vehicle warranties are extended under customer satisfaction program 10287. the cel would come on and then go off over the course of a couple weeks. finally it just stayed on.

I took my car in and had it diagnosed due to my car running louder than normal and problems with the idling of the car. the dealership told me i needed new timing chains and it would be anywhere from 2-3 thousand dollars. i've been researching and see than a lot of people has had problems with the timing chains on this particular vehicle. i have also found that gm has issued an extended warranty up to 10 years or 120,000 miles for other cars made around the same time as my vehicle for timing chains. when is gm going to address the problem of the timing chains on the camaro as it has the other models that have the same problem. it is ridiculous for gm to expect the buyer to come out of pocket for a problem that is a known manufacturer problem and not caused due to anything done by the buyer. *tr

The heater core in the camaro has become faulty. it is leaking coolant onto the passenger floor area and also producing strong fumes within the cabin. it also makes visibility very difficult as the windows fog up and the defroster no longer works properly/

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet camaro. while driving at 30 mph, the engine warning light would illuminate on and off. the contact stated that the failure occurred in january of 2015. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. the dealer diagnosed that the timing chain needed to be replaced. the vin was not included in a recall. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the issue. the approximate failure mileage was 119,433. updated 09/10/15*lj updated 11/02/2017*cn

This car is only driven in the summer months. on occasion i take it out when the weather is nice and there isn't any snow just to wash it and run it because it stays parked in the winter. while i was out,the check engine light came on so i took it to the dealership to find out it needs a timing chain already and it will cost between 800.00-1,000.00 to fix. of course it's not covered under the 5 year/ 100,000 mile warranty because i purchased it brand new in 2009 which is over the 5 years but still under the mileage. i did my research on it and this is a wide spread well known problem with the timing belt on these engines but gm has done nothing to fix the problem and the consumers are dishing out more money. this is something gm needs to address! *tr

The vehicle displayed a trouble code on the dash. i took it in to get a reading for the code and it appears to be a p0008 error code. after searching, it seems this code is relating to the timing chains within the engine becoming stretched. it also seems that a lot of owners are seeing this error with their own vehicles and dealer is charging anywhere from 2 to 3k to get the issue resolved. to quote another complaint that i saw regarding the same issue: " when is gm going to address the problem of the timing chains on the camaro as it has the other models that have the same problem. it is ridiculous for gm to expect the buyer to come out of pocket for a problem that is a known manufacturer problem and not caused due to anything done by the buyer. "

The dash is cracked around passenger airbag doors and i'm concerned with the operation of airbag if in a accident and the muffler is coming apart with only 27000 miles. *tr

It appears the heater core is leaking after almost 109,000 miles. replaced the heater hose due to leak approximately a month ago. coolant smell inside the car. damp/smell of coolant on the passenger side. seems many 5th generation camaro owners have reported the same issue. no recall on this issue that i can find? *tr
