2012 Chevrolet Camaro body problems

Filed Jul 15, 2026 · Body, Brakes · TX

I purchased this vehicle July of this year and just drove it to find it pulled extremely to the right. I was told it was an alignment issue which they attempted to fix which seems successful in July coming off the offramp after first time on the highway and applying the brakes, the car shook side side, and then up and down. It felt like the car was coming apart. I again notified the dealer. I purchased it from and was reminded it was bought as his, but that they would do what they can to fix it so that I would feel safe driving it. Also upon purchase when it got dark, I could not see even the beam of the headlights that they promised to replace and have not as yet.

In 6/2018, I discovered that my car was beginning to corrode above the wheel well on the driver's side (my car was still 5 years old at the time of the discovery, but over 100k miles). Within one week, I took it to the dealer--at which I purchased it new in 2012--who confirmed that it was indeed corrosion and indicated on the written estimate that the "hem flange was not properly sealed from factory causing contaminants to enter and start corrosion on the left quarter panel." the dealer quoted me $3,000 to repair the quarter panel. In 6/2018, I called gm customer service. I was denied assistance for the cost of the repair from the customer service managerial level. In about 7/2018, I contacted gm executives, which resulted in a denial of assistance from the chevrolet executive resolutions team. In 8/2018, I made a bbb complaint and as a result received contact from gm's business division, who also ultimately denied me assistance. Moreover, the bbb has indicated that my car is not eligible for the auto line program due to # of years old. I also recently made a state of mi attorney general referral. I will upload the packet that I sent to the bbb which contains most, if not all, of the documentation I have to date (not including the bbb denial).

My 2012 camaro convertible developed leaks (holes) in the water management system of the convertible top. The damage appears to be done by the roof mechanical system. Dealer reports this is a 20 hour job and will cost a few thousand dollars to replace. My contention is that the design and build of the convertible roof is the root cause of the holes in the water management system and gm should hold some responsibility for this. The whole interior and electronic systems are at risk of failure and creates a safety risk to driver and occupants should the water get to the electric seats or any electric wiring under the carpet.. Also renders the car unsellable.

Before I was told my car was on fire I did hear a loud boom noise but thought it was a diesel on the highway.

I pulled out of my parking place at my condominiums. I could not get my car to stop. The brakes were not working. This has happened many times over the years since I purchased the vehicle. I have taken it into the dealerships in my area on numerous occasions but they have told me they will only fix it if it does it while it is in their care. I have other people who have been driving my car when it has happened but it has not happened while I have been at the dealership. The most recent occurrence happened and I ran into poll and my bumper now needs to be replace.

The convertible top has become increasingly slower when putting it up and down. There are signs on the top of the car where it latches of something grinding. Took to dealer and was advised that the top operated at normal speed when compared to a similar model. Currently operation is exceeding 20 seconds for the top to be lowered or raised. Also top is not going down all the way as the fabric obscures the mirror when driving.
