Within a month or so after purchasing this vehicle with less that 20 miles the transmission would studder. I informed the dealership several times. I was told this was a known issue and it was just related to transmission fluid type. I brought the car in for a transmission flush and the problem seemed to go away. It has returned and is causing safety risk. Besides the annoying grinding noise, I have experienced safety related issues concerning this issue. At the moment you need to accelerate the car pausing and slips gears. This has put me at risk on many occasion since owning the vehicle. When needing merge or get over into traffic this has been very dangerous. GM has made no attempt to permanently fix the issue.

What owners say
Transmission in the 2016 and up 6 speed manual will pop out of second gear and making horrible grinding noises upon engaging and releasing clutch. I know several people who have had this issue and they told me GM is aware of the issue but ignoring it but it is a safety issue because it leaves a person in neutral in traffic when shifting to second it will go in and pop out. It is defective transmission housing in these expensive cars and mines has been doing it since I have had it and it is definitely the defective transmission housing and there is even a YouTube video on it. This needs to be addressed before Gm gets sued for this. Pandemic has made it even harder to get dealership to get stuff done because personally my car sat at Butler Chevrolet in Macon two months and they still never touched it and told us to come get my vehicle because they had no one to work on it and they had us in a loaner car with improper tags and registration issues and we reported that to local authorities and we are planning to sue them also if they don't settle for the discrimination and hard time they gave us letting my car sit months for no reason just to tell me they had no qualified technician to work on it and they had got my car full of ants and insects. We need this recalled so that anyone with these dangerous transmissions will get it repaired. Don't do your customers like this we are well aware of what's happening here. We pay good money for these cars. Recall these things before it leads to bigger class action issues and I'm a car truck guy and very mechanically inclined and have many friends who have these cars in manual and some of them have had transmission replacement due to defective housing and that solved the issue.
Synchronizer problem shifting into 2nd gear. The car on occasion (hot or cold) has trouble shifting completely into 2nd gear. Happens under normal every day driving conditions or while trying to accelerate hard and shift into 2nd. Car feels like it went into gear, but when you release the clutch it grinds the teeth on the synchros due to not being fully in 2nd gear.
Bought the vehicle brand new january 2017...2017 convertible camaro ss. 6 weeks later the brakes have been squeaking all day every day. They squeak on any type of road and at any time of the day. I have brought it to 3 dealerships to be looked at and filed a formal complaint with gm they refuse to help me with anything. I have found thousands of the same complaints online and is just refusing to fix the issue or refund the money for these vehicles. They are saying the squeaking of the brakes is normal. I asked for them to replace them and fix the issue and they won't. Now when the vehicle gets over 50 MPH the whole front end also vibrates and when I come to a complete stop and press the gas to accelerate it lunges forward. Nothing is being fixed.
Pulley bearing or pulley tensioner is squeaking. The service advisors at my dealer refused to believe any sort of noise, except another service rep said he hears it. They refused to fix any issue because they're lazy and dont want to pay for the part.
