2016 Chevrolet Camaro UNKNOWN OR OTHER

It was a near-death experience as I waited at a red light in my 2016 Camaro. Out of nowhere, the car started violently shaking, and before I could react, I almost collided with the vehicle in front of me. The sudden loss of power left me stranded amidst honking cars, making the situation even more perilous. After being towed to the nearest dealership, they attempted to fix the issue with two transmission flushes, but the problem only escalated. The car is now a ticking time bomb, completely inoperable, and I fear that other drivers may have been in similar danger. According to the dealership, the root of the problem lies with the torque converter, a faulty component that could have catastrophic consequences if not addressed immediately.

My car has 23,507 miles on it. It has not been driven hard. I took it in for rear differential service. I was informed that both rear shocks were leaking. It was recommended to replace the shocks for $1479 because the shocks have an adaptive feature for different drive modes: touring, sport, track and traction for snow and ice.

MY CAR MYSTERIOUSLY CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RULE IT AS A ELECTRICAL ERROR.

TRUNK LEAKS WITH ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS LOCATED IN THE BASE OF THE TRUNK WHERE A SPARE TIRE WOULD BE LOCATED. WATER POOLS IN THIS AREA AND EXPOSES THE FUSE BOX, AMPLIFIER AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS TO WATER. THIS POSSES A MALFUNCTION AND POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD WHEN THE FUSE PANEL SHORTENS OUT. DUE TO THE HALF-MOON SHAPE OF THE TOP OF THE TRUNK WHERE THE BACK WINDOW MEETS WATER TO POOLS AND THEN SEEPS UNDER THE TRUNK WEATHERSTRIPPING AND ULTIMATELY INTO THE TRUNK.

AT TIMES WHEN MAKE A LEFT TURN, THERE'S A KNOCKING NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COMING FROM THE REAR RIGHT UNDERSIDE BY THE TIRE OR FROM IN THE TRUNK. IT'S NOT CONSISTENT BUT IT DOES IT EVERYDAY.

WHEN SUNLIGHT IS REFLECTED OFF THE SILVER/CHROME-COLORED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TRIM, IT IS FOCUSED INTENSELY INTO INTO MY EYES MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SAFELY. THIS OCCURS WHILE PARKED, STATIONARY, OR DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR A HIGHWAY. WHILE TURNING, IT MAY OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY AND SUDDENLY DEPENDING ON IF THE SUN STRIKES IT DIRECTLY. IT MAY ALSO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE WHILE I USE THE BACKUP CAMERA.

INTERIOR DOOR PANEL RATTLE. WHEN LISTENING TO THE RADIO WITH MILD BASS, THE DOOR SOUNDS LIKE HAS MARBLES INSIDE OF IT. DEALER STATED THE BASS LEVEL IS TOO HIGH ON MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. SECOND ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE VOLUME WAS QUARTER OF THE WAY UP AND YOU COULD HERE IT. DEALER FOUND A TSB ON THE ISSUE AND HAD TO ORDER SPECIAL FLOCKING TAPE FOR THE DOOR PANELS. I'M UNSURE IF THIS HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM OR NOT AT THIS POINT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE DEALER FOR OTHER REPAIRS.

COMING FROM BEHIND THE REAR SEAT ARE TWO DISTINCT SOUNDS - ONE IS A CRACKING/BUZZING THAT IS NOT AN AUDIO NOISE. IT IS A LOOSE PANEL, OR A RESULT OF THE REAR PANEL RUBBING UP AGAINST THE REAR WINDOW. THE SECOND SOUND IS A QUIET AND CONSISTENT SOUND COMING FROM INSIDE THE TRUNK. IT CAN BE HEARD IF GOING OVER 20 MPH AND DOES NOT STOP. I HAVE HAD A DEALER LOOK AT THIS ISSUE 4 TIMES, AND THEY CANNOT RESOLVE IT.
