Chevrolet Camaro adaptive cruise problems

Filed Nov 2, 2025 · Fuel system · LA

While driving with Cruise control on doing 70MPH (+\- 5mph) the car was in fuel management mode so only 4 of the 8 cylinders were in use. When going on an uphill incline the car cycled to V8. Instantly, I had a loss of power for a second and then the entire engine locked up in the middle of moderate traffic. Providing maintenance log to show that it wasn’t a lack of maintenance

While accelerating my Camaro begins to shake violently kind of like a shuttering. It happens on cruise control also. The violent shaking makes it hard to keep control of the vehicle. I looked online and found THOUSANDS of owners with the same problems. The weirdest thing is that my check engine light comes on for a few days then goes off for months. This absolutely needs to be recalled! I’m going in for my second opinion tomorrow but the last mechanic said I can replace the torque converter or that I might have a misfire in my engine. People need to be compensated for these expensive repairs, especially sense the car is so expensive. Gm had to know these parts were faulty. In no way shape or form, is there this many complaints about a vehicles parts and as a company they knew nothing about it. These mishaps are extremely dangerous and could be life threatening.

On or about november 26, 2020, at 1:30 am while driving on I-30 westbound in texarkana, tx traveling at the posted speed of 75 MPH in a 2018 camaro zl1. The transmission blew out while in cruise control and all systems that transmit power from the engine or propulsion device to the wheels were lost and the vehicle had to coast onto the emergency shoulder until it came to a complete stop away from oncoming traffic. I had contacted chevy emergency roadside assistance through the vehicles onstar and this service was of no avail. As an alternative I had to utilize triple a in order to have the vehicle towed to orr chevrolet service department texarkana, tx this vehicle series has the tr6060 transmission is for 6 speed manuals which is manufactured by tremec contains devices and systems that transmit power from the engine or propulsion device to the wheels. Therefore, when shifting between neutral, 1st - 2nd gear and back to neutral encountered numerous events wherein the shifting mechanism grinds and/or drops back into neutral while the vehicle is in motion, with notable fluttering of the shifter and rubbing or friction noise this is associated with the synchronizers. The this is extremely dangerous when pulling in traffic and operating a vehicle in this manner is only a matter of time before a major accident ensues. Consumers similarly complained about the defect on various online forums, https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=199040 https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=261882&page=2 https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4415830&posted=1#post4415830 https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=199533

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.

My car has been having a lot of vibrations, sputtering, rumbling while driving. Especially when speeding up. It happens while in cruise control also. I took it to be serviced and they said it was the torque converter. They flushed the system and said it should clear up after 200 miles with the new fluid they replaced. I took it back because it has been over 500 miles and is still happening. I was told all they can do is replace the fluid again for now until they fix the problem. Why are they not able to replace the torque converter now before it causes more intensive damage? I am afraid as it gets worse I will be broken down on the side of the road with a car that is in worse repair than it should be.

On 9/13/2014, my wife drove my 2012 chevy camaro zl11 to her dads, when she left she pulled out of his drive way and stopped at stop sign, she took off in first gear she said when she shifted the car into second gear the car just took off she said it acted like something just took over, like a cruise control, except no matter what she did including hitting the brake the continued to increase in speed, keep in mind this car has a 6 speed standard transmission, meaning she had one foot on throttle and one foot on clutch when this happened unlike automatic where you could have hit gas instead of brake, my wife has never had an accident or a speeding ticket, I believe something happened, with all this being said 17 days later she is in icu with 2 broken bones in her back and a piece of broken bone lodged next to her spine, this needs to be addressed next time it could be a hole family. The car has been considered total loss, but I have not released the car to insurance company at this time.

Car is 2010 chevrolet camaro ss with a manual transmission (ls3). Problem: cruise control can be activated when the car is in neutral. Steps to replicate: drive normally and go above 40mph, after which shift down to neutral and activate cruise control. Result: the car will activate cruise control and will start to redline the engine. As a result if you shift in to a lower gear, the vehicle will jump to a very high speed since the tachometer is redlining, potentially damaging the engine and making it hard to control the car. Problem has been replicated on two different models of the same vehicle. Have not reported to gm because their customer service loves to argue and do nothing about it.
