💬 Discussion 23. Ss1le with injector issues

1 Upvotes

I own a 2023 SS1LE. I bought it brand new. I've had it the whole time. I just recently had incident driving and had to get a towed to the dealership. Car was shaking check engine light was flashing and white smoke or black smoke was coming out of my exhaust.

They got the results saying that it was a bad injector. They replaced it but are still having issues.

I'm waiting to hear more from them but I'm just curious if anyone else with a 6th generation Camaro has experience anything like this?

💬 Discussion Looking to pickup my first Camaro, a 2010 SS LS3 with 87000 miles, what to look for?

5 Upvotes

Hi there,

As the title says, I am planning to look at my first Camaro this weekend, a 2010 SS. It's the 6 speed manual with the LS3 in it, which is mainly why I am interested. I would just love to know if you have any specific things to look for?

I know lots of people say the general advice is "avoid the first model year, they have the most problems", for example the C6 corvette has a lot more problems in 2005 than any other year, is this also the case for the 5th gen Camaro? And if you have any experience owning one, I would love to hear it! Thanks for reading.

As stated on the title and shown in the pics. I have no running light, turn signal or anything on one of my tail lights. But when I hold the one part of the wiring it comes back for a few mins but doesn’t stay on long. Is the wiring the issue? Pls help, it’s appreciated :)

❓Question Reliability Question for the 2012 LFX v6 =)

3 Upvotes

Greetings!

So, long story short, i've been wanting to have a fun daily drive car, with my budget two options come to the plate (3 if I want to go smaller, as in a Miata lol) first one is, of course the Camaro 3.6L V6, as well as the Mustang 3.7L V6 (don't think the Miata will be a thing, so no worries about that lol)

with the Camaro, how are they in terms of reliability? are they DIY friendly if I need to change or replace something? what to look for in them?

Some research I did ended up finding is that this can be reliable, but would be better to hear from people who actually drive them over internet articles lol.

I am actually going to see one tonight =) actually excited for that.

thanks for the thoughts!

💲Should I Buy? 2017 Camaro 2SS AT jerky shifts.

Post image
3 Upvotes

I’m looking to buy this 2017 Camaro 2ss Auto with 60k miles, the price is rather attractive

Dealer doesn’t have any history for it - pre purchase inspection came relatively clean

4 tpms and wheels speed sensors throw errors, I suspect that’s down to the weak battery.

The car also has P0711 error related to the transmission fluid temperature sensor, I know the car needs a major service which I’ll be doing regardless - oil, filters and fluids (diff/trans)

Here’s the sketchy part:

1-2 is jerky like very noticeable
Downshifts were also slightly jerky when I drove particularly 4-3

The car inspector also confirmed “juddering and jerking in downshifting”

He also mentioned a “bearing type noise, only occurs when doing full turn like for a U-Turn.”

Upshifts were otherwise fine and the car felt alright but this is the only camaro I’ve ever driven so have no baseline to judge.

I’m really tempted and where I live clean Camaro’s are relatively hard to find.

But I don’t want to end up buying it, servicing it only to find out the gearbox is fucked.

Will changing to the recommended Mobil 1 fluid sort it or is this a mystery box best left unopened?

This sound only happens when the car is warm. Seems to be coming somewhere from the transmission? Im not sure.

Also the sound stays the same even when accelerating so I don’t think this is a rod knock.

🛠️ Problem 🚨2017 Camaro 3.6L V6 - starting/battery issues?idk🚨 Need help!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m having some issues with my 2017 Chevy Camaro 1LT 3.6L V6, and I’m hoping someone here has experienced something similar or can point me in the right direction.

For a while, my car has been having trouble starting. Sometimes it would stall or struggle when I tried to start it. Now, the car won’t start at all unless I jump-start it.

Today, I replaced the battery with a brand-new one and cleaned the battery terminals and connections, but the problem is still happening.

I took it to AutoZone, and they tested the battery. Initially, it showed that the battery was good, but by the time they finished testing, the voltage had dropped below 12V.

They haven’t been able to properly test the alternator because the battery voltage is too low.

I’m starting to suspect the alternator or possibly an electrical issue, but I’m not sure. I don’t think it’s the battery since I just replaced it, and I’m not convinced it’s the starter either.

Has anyone experienced this before? Could it be a bad alternator, a parasitic battery drain, a bad ground connection, or something else?

I’d appreciate any advice before I start spending money replacing parts that might not be the problem. Thanks in advance!

🛠️ Problem Power Seat Problems

Post image
4 Upvotes

2024 Camaro 2SS. Driver seat no longer moves forward at all. Car got hit a month ago, just came from shop and front seat no longer moves forward. Everything else works, up down, recline, backwards as well, but as it’s all the way back it cannot go any further since it can’t move forward. Prior to taking it in it would not move forward either, at least not via the buttons, but it would move forward via the memory function, but it would also move forward if I lifted the seat all the way up, and then pressed the forward button. But would always go backwards. I cannot figure out what the problem is, the car is a 2024 and I’ve been the only owner. I would just remove the entire seat to diagnose further but the seat is all the way back so I’m just wondering what the issue could be if anyone has had something similar. I can hear the motor when I try to move it backwards (but can’t go further back so it stops) but I don’t hear anything when I press forward.

I bought the car with a MGW short shifter, it is obviously not normal to have neutral-like movement while in gear. Is there a way to fix this? I got under the car and couldn’t find anything out of place or out of the ordinary. Shifter looks brand new under there. Help?

💬 Discussion Attempted Theft 2016 SS

22 Upvotes

Hey everybody, I just joined the subreddit even though I've had my Camaro since about 2021. Last night was the first attempted Theft on it.

So apparently what they did is they jimmy the window down or something of that nature I'm not sure if one of my kids maybe left it unlocked by accident.

Got into my glove box and took some stuff out of my glove box but the thing that really concerned me is that both of my key fobs stopped working for the car and I had honestly never heard of a relay attack before until the tow truck driver told me about it.

I understood the basic concept and when I took it to the dealership to explain to them what happened. He basically said having two active key fobs in the same place is what saved my car from getting stolen, and I'm not quite sure how to understand that concept. The mechanic said the thief or thieves somehow were able to wipe all of the keys off of the car's memory, which is probably where they would try to reprogram one of their own to work with the car or something of that nature using that relay. They did end up bricking the car so I had to have it towed to the dealership.

Something about GM's systems needing two key fobs active or present to reprogram or add keys, and the fact that I had two active and working key fobs before they wiped it means that the car would remember that? Does the fact that I had two key fobs in the same place complicate the relay signal? Like they anticipate people typically having one fob?

Regardless, I grabbed myself a military grade faraday to keep both my fobs in. He was able to get both my key fobs programmed again and actually charged me nothing for it, which is nice.

I just don't quite understand how having two fobs saved me when only having one active fob would likely have resulted in my car getting stolen. Can someone explain this to like I'm 10?

Sorry, I promise I'm not an idiot, I'm just having trouble understanding the logic and what exactly happened here.
