Problems with 2016 Chevrolet Camaro POWER TRAIN

Purchased car with 20908 miles on 12/18/19. noticed engine rpms fluctuating about 200 rpms when at steady cruising speed 2nd day of owning car. 3rd day noticed bad shudder when in v4 mode along with rpm fluctuation.

I have almost had an accident twice based on the transmission not shifting properly and the car loosing traction between 1st and 2nd gear. chevy has flushed the transmission 3 times with no change. 3 weeks ago the engine failed while i was trying to accelerate on a highway. this caused a truck to almost ram the back of my car and another car almost hit me as i tried to get to the side of the highway. i was able to drive it to the dealer. auto nation chevrolet on lee vista blvd, orl. florida. they determined that it was a catastrophic engine failure. the engine has been taken apart into many pieces and much of it is sitting on the dealership shop floor. the mechanic said the engine failure was due to a defective valve casing and a defective spring..damaging the camshaft. all valves and springs and camshaft would need to be replaced. chevy has declined my request for a new engine..they said that decision is up to the dealership service manager. i spoke to him...he said that the cost to replace the engine must be within a few hundred dollars vs rebuilding the engine for him to authorize that the engine be replaced.. this is now 3 weeks in duration with no car, which cost me close to $50,000 and almost has caused me to be in 3 accidents. i am appealing for your intervention.

During acceleration and deceleration, the 8-speed automatic transmissions seems to jump as if it is missing gears. this has been an ongoing issue for some months. the vehicle was purchased brand new in 2016 with only 12 miles. diagnostic testing has been performed and nothing has been found. however, this issue still persists. also, the backup camera, radio, and entire mylink system went out. after diagnostics, it was confirmed that the hmi module was bad--the car was not 3 years old at the time. unfortunately, this is a $1000 dealership repair ticket. gm has stated that there is nothing they can do. also, others in the dealership as well as outside licensed repair shops said they had the seen the same issue with the camaro.

Jerking and growling and hesitating to shift going from 1-3 gear

Delayed hard shifting at take off in transmission. clunking sound on left turns from rear end. whining noise from rear end when driving. seized engine at 66,000 miles 2016 chevy camaro ss

Vehicle equipped with 8 speed automatic transmission. vehicle transmission will shutter when rpms are at 1500 in any gear. at highway speeds distinctive shutter in transmission at around 1500 rpm. happens at the very beginning of acceleration process.

I am having issues with hard shifting when it has been idle or parked for a while. hesitation when in lower speeds, jerking with acceleration. jumping and hard jerking when i first start in the morning i have almost hit my garage door several times from the jerking and hard rocking. it started around 13000 miles i am at 16000 and its progressively getting worse

When driving, the vehicle will vibrate/shudder periodically. when pulling into traffic, sometimes it does not shift properly and presents a danger. the dealer flushed the transmission fluid recently, but it is starting to happen again.

Issue 1 - 8 speed automatic transmision is shifting hard between gears and also has a shutter at low engine rpm between 1200 to 1500 rpm. the shutter will occur in most gears. especially noticeable when using cruise control. it happens in all roads in all conditions and at various speeds + gear.. issue 2 - "scrubbing or grinding noise" in the rear end when i first get in the car after it has been sitting for a while. the noise is very noticeable when i make turns at low speed. then after the vehicle is driving for a few minutes it goes away. it has been more noticeable with low temperatures. the vehicle has approximately 13k miles.

The 8 speed automatic transmission has a shutter at low engine rpm between 1200 to 1500 rpm. the shutter will occur in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th gear when engine rpm is 1200 to 1500. the vehicle has 10,000 miles on it. this happens on open roads in all conditions and at various speeds + gear.

Automatic 8 speed transmission shudders on light acceleration between 1300-1700rpm. this issue can be replicated and is especially noticeable when cruising up a slight incline at around 1500rpm. chevrolet attempted a transmission fluid flush for me, and even a torque converter replacement for some other people, but the issue returns.

My transmission jerks and rumbles, as if i am driving over rumble strops. it jerks when i put it into gear. it jerks and rumbles when i accelerate and decelerate. when i go from park to drive it jerks forward and actually move forward a few feet without stepping on the gas. and the same when i am stopped waiting for a light, it feels like i was hit from behind. its a very rough and hard jerk forward. the transmission jerks changing gears in drive and while driving, even in reverse. its a horrible scary rumble jerking. you never know when it will just take off by itself. the incidents happen on all driving conditions, city streets, highway, turning, slowing down, coasting. especially turning it jerks in the middle of a turn. i have been experiencing this for over a year. i brought to the dealer and they stated they could not duplicate my concerns, but it did it when i drove off and brought it to their attention at that time. this is a continuous event for the past two or so years.

The windshield fogs up and drips with air on the feet. no way to clear the increasing fog unless you turn the air-conditioning off and increase the heat there for on the 90+ hot and muggy day you are left with heat exhaustion or pulling over on the side of the roadways which is never safe. when it rains good luck deciding if you want to turn the window defoggers on and cause condensation or open the windows in the rain to get wet which makes the windows steam up completely or last resort is to turn the heat up on the defrosters and heat up the whole car. . or again, pull over to the side of the road indefinitely or do not drive your car in 80% of the south's weather conditions. really sad that gm and the chevrolet dealerships fix to this issue is to say "welcome to the south" and laugh. this happens when its muggy out, raining, cool and wet, early morning or late evening. it only gets worse with the wipers, only gets better with higher heat for extended periods of time. so in essence most of that or those days.

When you going down the road transmission 7/8 gear shutters like it's slipping

Vibration at speeds of 45 - 50 mph. vibration only occurs when vehicle is at operating temperature. if the vehicle is cold, the vibration is not present.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 chevrolet camaro. the contact stated that the vehicle experienced a loss of power and a lack of acceleration while driving 40 mph. in addition, the reduced performance warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to nalley chevrolet (4200 jonesboro rd, union city, ga) where it was diagnosed that the clutch failed and recommended it be replaced. the vehicle was repaired; however, the stabilitrak warning indicator illuminated afterwards. the vehicle was returned to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the suspension failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

Car is shutting off while driving on roadways. car not shutting off when pushing the ignition button. car not starting at home or while in the community. all of this leaving me stranded for periods of time or holding up traffic. no codes being thrown to dash which leads me to believe something is wrong with the computer system. the chassis bounces and studders as if somthing is about to ceese up and the drive shaft clumks. stabilitrak light has been fixed several times, traction control comes on as well. numerous times not just once

tl* the contact owns a 2016 chevrolet camaro. the contact stated that when the vehicle was stared, the check-engine warning light illuminated and immediately, the on-star service technician called and asked the contact if he was in a crash. the contact responded that he was not in a crash and informed the technician that the check-engine warning light illuminated. the technician diagnosed a transmission failure and advised the contact to go to the dealer. the vehicle was taken to the dealer at: marble falls chevrolet, buick, marble falls tx, where a transmission failure was confirmed but the contact was told that there was no remedy. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that it was the dealer's responsibility. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 83.

I noticed a "scrubbing or grinding noise" in the rear end when i first get in the car after it has been sitting for a while. the noise is very noticeable when i make turns. then after the vehicle is driving for a few minutes.. it goes away.i took it to 2 different dealerships, they both told me, it was normal, and these performance cars "has to be driven"..

Grinding noise from rear end when making slow right or left hand turns.

I bought my car in sept. 2016 after the first couple of months at random times the transmission makes a boom sound when slowing down from speeds over 55 mph or during acceleration from stop and go rush hour traffic it's as if the transmission has to catch up with the accelerator. i get monthly diagnostics and nothing shows up as an issue.

Vehicle was two months old with approximately 1,800 miles and the rear differential began having gear whine. dealer told me to drive it more and see what happens. gear whine got louder and posi unit clutches began chattering. this resulted in the rear differential being replaced at 6,000 miles. the replacement differential lasted about 2,000 miles and began chattering, so another differential was installed in the vehicle. so with 8,000 miles, i've had two differentials replaced due to internal problems. the noise was heard when temps got down in the 50's and turning left.

When driving slow, i can feel the car hesitate to switch gears then all sudden it jumps or nudges into second gear. it's like the rpms revs up then throws itself into second gear. also when in sport mode, the vehicles gear/transmission becomes more apparent of vibration or struggles with the transmission and changing gears. when also putting car in reverse u can feel the car jump into gear before switching the gears. it's an abrupt transition.

On fri, 26 august 2016, at a stop, my car wouldn't go into any gear (it is a 6 speed manual). i almost got hit. a cop & a good samaritan stopped & forced the gear in 1st as dealership & gm weren't helpful over the phone. i immediately drove to flow. they kept the car for a week & said they did a full check & everything was okay. gm was contacted but nothing was done to fix it. on sat, 24 september at night in a parking garage, i came to a complete stop and when i went to put my car into first gear to park, again it would not go into gear. i recorded a video of my friend having to force it into gear as the good samaritan did weeks before. anyone who views the video can see how the car won't go in gear & can hear the noise it makes (as it did the in the august scenario). i brought the vehicle in that mon. car was kept for a week. they contacted gm & gm said the same thing had been happening to other 2016 camaros & the solution was to flush out or "bleed" some fluid in the clutch. i'm not a mechanic but i knew this wouldn't work. this is obviously a mechanical problem. i was also suspicious. just 3 weeks before, gm supposedly had no solutions & acted like my car was the only one doing this. fri , 30 sept, car was returned. on sat morning 1 oct, the same issue happened at a drive thru & 2 employees had to push me in the parking lot. new manager says they'll drive the car to see if it happens to them & also can try "one more thing".the car has an obvious manufacter defect that is a safety hazard.i called gm for assistance & they atttempted to contact flow for more info & after several minutes ,returned & said that they had not been transferred to service & was told flow service was"too busy" to talk because they were getting off in an hour. gm needs to honor their warranty & take the transmission apart or replace the vehicle. it's in the shop for the 3rd time in 4 weeks.

Grinding sound out of the rear differential. it has been back to the dealership 4 times for the same issues. has been replaced once and it still has the same grinding noise.

Purchased 2016 chevrolet camaro on 6/18/2016 few days after the engine was running very rough, grinding noise, transmission shifting hard, the check engine light illuminated and speed reduced to 5 mph showed on display. this has been going on since then, i brought to dealer on 7/1/2016 and the service mechanic took back to check codes and informed me that numerous error codes were detected and told me to go ahead and take vehicle home because it was a holiday weekend and to return on tuesday 7/5/2016 to be inspected for repair.
