Chevrolet Camaro headlights problems

Filed Aug 6, 2026 · Electrical, Fuel system · LA · crash

Oh wow I don't even know where to start. The second I came home with the car for $32,995 off the used dealership it was a horrific disaster. I have replaced the rear fuse panel 2x already(water damage). The amp was fried from water damanage. The ambient lights and screen along with the gear lights only sometimes work. My morimoto aftermarket headlights wiring all have completely melted and needed to be replaced and that is just the small things. The car has always had severe driving malfunctions. These include: Jerking when putting into gear (any gear), shudders, it will rev up when i am braking, usuallu after a small hill or bump it will get really loud like it is in a much higher gear, it looses power and goes into random limp mode, the car has recently died in mid drive just completely lost acceleration power until it died. It will start right back up, but then same thing. Now when driving it will slightly jerk and steer to the side ever 3 seconds. Enough for me to hold the steering wheel tight. These are a few of the codes it reads, although some codes come and go, but these remain on: P12E7, P12EC, P12F4, P12F9, P0121, P0171, P0161, P0131, P069E, B097B, B1395, B1516, B1517, B260E, B260E, B2615, B2745, U0800, U1808, U0109, U007C. nOW MY BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THE CAR IS SO BAD IT IS NOT DRIVABLE AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME THE PROBLEM. IT VIOLENTLY JERKS WHEN TURNING AS IF SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BEHIND GOING 50MPH. iT USUALLY DOES IT WHEN I TURN THE WHEELS SLOWLY LIKE ON TURNS, BUT IT ALSO DOES IT WHEN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT AND THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN IT JUST BOOOOOOM. iT IS SO LOUD AND AND SO VIOLENT IT IS AS IF MY BACK END FELL OFF. aLSO THE TIRES ARE LOCKED UP AND WHEN I TURN IT MAKES MY TIRE SCREAM. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND GOT IT HOME AROUND 70K MILES AND NOW I AM AT 160K WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS AND THEN SOME. The car twice now has driven itself when in park with car running. I put in park and was on phone at store and it drove

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.

My carmaro has only 47,750 miles and five years old and I do not drive it that much. However, about a year and half ago the left headlight and daylamp is out. This have to be a manufactire issue, and when I talk to dealeship service dept the cost to repair the problem is $2,300, this just to expensive for a car that does not have a lot of miles on it.

There is a distracting pop in the radio which also affects the signal lights, the heater and air conditioner controls, and the controls for the radio itself. There are numerous complaints on the web for this same year vehicle with the same problem. It is very distracting as when the radio pops it makes a loud noise that is similar to running over something or hitting something with your vehicle. Also the tail light on the driver side won't stay on and the headlight on the passenger side has a short in it also. These problems I have been listed numerous times on the web. I have had several service mechanics look at it and they haven't been able to fix it as of yet. I recently read online. There is a short in those radios. But the radio is still is listed as at $700. I don't have this kind of money to replace it. And I'm not sure if that will fix the problem or not. I wrote to Chevrolet when it first happened about 35,000 mi ago. I got a reply that they didn't have enough complaints yet. I don't know if they ever looked on the web because at the time there were quite a few and they are still listed today. This was the year after I bought my car which would have been 2018. It's a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro LS. Please assist as this affects where I go as I am afraid that something will happen to my car since it affects so many things already. I don't want it to cause other problems as these are more than enough to affect my driving. My car had approximately 30,000, mi at the time this incident began.

The headlight assembly has a reflective plate and has a manufactures defect that is a safety hazard. The reflective plate becomes yellow due to the heat of the HID light bulbs and causes the low beam lights to become dim and not put out the required output for safety and visibility. This part can not be replaced individually and the whole headlight assembly has to be replaced at a cost of $1200 per each side. Changing out the HID bulb with a comparable one does not increase the visibility either. I’ve taken my car to the dealership and have it on record what is wrong with it and that there is no other reason for the dim headlight other than that one defective piece. The visibility is awful.

When driving the 2015 camaro the mylink/radio shuts down and will not play and the headlights and inside lighting goes dim and dashboard goes dark until the car is cut off and restarted. During this the the backup camera also does not work. This happens every time the car is driven. We are scared to drive the car on long trips. The mileage is 17,553. Unless this is taken care of this will be our last gm purchase.
