- Hey everyone!
The 2010-2015 Chevrolet Camaro Is a pretty awesome car. People have drifted, dragged, and many people daily drive them. No matter what you decide to do with your Camaro, there are issues that may come up. These issues can be difficult to fix and may surprise you, so that's why I make these videos. In just 5 minutes, I talk about all the common issues on the 5th Gen Chevrolet Camaro that you should know about before you make that purchase. If you already own one, then you can better educate yourself. Either way, my goal is to help.
Hope you enjoyed this!
If you did, check out the playlist because I have more videos along this line and you can better educate yourself on many more cars.

We have a 2010 2SS and have had NO issues at all whatsoever. Only owner, 178k miles. Great car!
Wow!
Do these cars also suffer from the harmonic balancer like the corvettes?
@@kspocketngroove3973Not as common its a ls3, ls2s have weaker crankshafts
what is tbe difference between the ss and the 2ss?
@@thebeast3822interior is better in 2ss
I've had my 2014 Camaro 2SS since May 2015, only has 66,000 miles on it and no issues whatsoever. Still in love with it and can't stop staring at it in my driveway.
I’m trying to get one next year spring any crazy oil consumptions problems ?
I have 2011 Camaro - V6 it runs so good. Not one issue. The only option was the yellow color - haha. paid 21K brand new from the dealer. I don't use it anymore but I don't want or need to sell it.
I've owned my 2014 camaro SS for 4 years now and have had no serious problems at all, 75K miles and I've hammered on it like crazy. Still runs great
I've definitely never had any of the problems in the video either.
Good man 🙏
Team Jesus winning 🥇
I just bought my first Camaro a few months back, and following in my dad's footsteps. (He has a 2014 1SS LS3, and I have a 2015 2SS L99)
I'm absolutely in love with this car, the only issue we've had was my ac compressor going on mine, easy and simple fix tbh.
I have owned my 2012 convertible SS for about 4 years. Only problem I have had is a blown power steering hose. Other than that zero issues. Just pure fun..
Not really
I'm getting mine next year. Just hope things don't mess up with the economy

Still saving for a 2018 :(
I just got a 2015 camaro ss under 19k miles on it almost new and its a sweet heart. Smooth ride ❤
I have a 2011 Camaro 2ss 6 speed and no issues on my ls3 91 k miles
how many miles now?
I have a 2011 ss manual 6 speed 265,000 miles on it. Only thing wrong is a lifter tick that I’m getting fixed right now!
@@danieltims2393 holy fvck
I have a 2010 camro v6 rebuild 89,000 miles on it and the body haves about 100,000 miles on it and I have 24s on it
You guys don't push it hard do you
I live across the pond in the UK, and have a 2SS Auto which has been upgraded to about 450 BHP
by computer software.
I have owned for over 5 years, with no problems except a broken wash/wiper pump, which was only
about £15.00 delivered from the USA!
I daily drive it, and love it so much, compared to other's driving clone German/bland cars!
America actually made a decent car that has decent horsepower, great handling, made with better
materials than previous Camaros, and is made properly(although in Canada!).
Absolutely wizard, mate. Glad to here people are enjoying camaros all over
That’s great to hear buddy but it ain’t the only one! All the big 3 make some unbelievably reliable muscle cars.
That maro looks clean as hell, I just bought a 2011 ss and I’d love to get a build sheet for it, especially all the cosmetic stuff
Keep the cosmetic stuff simple ish rims Tints maybe different front end not a 6th gen zl1 front end if 5th gen just doesn’t feel right
It's can be located in...
The trunk, the headliner, behind a door panel, under a seat or under the carpet.
I've own a 2014 SS since they came out, I know it is still almost brand new with 30K miles but still have never had a problem with it.
Had a manual 6th gen SS before and now have a 5th gen ZL1. Very happy with the ZL1 definitely feels like an upgrade and much faster.
Daily driven, very modified, Canadian Winter driven. Have owned 2 now and have yet to have any serious issues other than people wanting to race me at every light... and yet to see a set of taillights when I do decide to give them the business.
The great majority of these problems are so minor when you compare them to Hyundai, VW and Fords that commonly have engines catching fire, timing chain issues etc.
The stock ls3 can handle a lot of power without major upgrades.
Nothing was really said motorwise for the LS engine which I guess is a good thing. Thumbs up!
Overall solid car. Like a rock
What even is this video. Did you just randomly find issues online?
he just looked at ones in a junkyard and chose at random
I have 220k miles on my full bolt on big cam 2013 1LE 🤷🏻♂️. Only thing I do is maintenance
How’s the handling holding up?
Holy shit 220k?
@@atgdante5367 bruh it literally just blew up💀😂. It’s at 241k now
@HCIZ06 hey that's good miles out of it tho. What went wrong?
Never had any problems with my 2011 camaro 2ss little over 3 years now daily drives all day babe the only problem I have is changing my tires cause the way I drove always like to hear that v8 power when you flooring the gas
Great content bro
Recently got a Camaro haven’t had crazy problems just had to replace the fuse for the passenger seat n fix my air conditioning , but overall the car is great😻
Great vid like always
Thank you 🙏 hope you are doing well
Just got a 2012 Camaro, I’m so in-love. The night before I drove off the lot, I swore I looked over 100 times opening my phone looking at her. The sickest part is that’s my dealership painted it in the destroyer gray color, and omggggg
Just bought a 2010 ss. Thank you for the information, very helpful
Im looking for a 2013 2ss how much did you pay for yours ? The one im looking at has 72k miles and it’s 20k
@@simplybuilt_1708 not sure where you're located but carvana had some decent stuff in the socal area
I want one so bad, I’ve been looking nationwide for a ss.

@@Wajjajaggdang and I thought I got a a best deal ever 15K for one with 74k on it a few days ago for a manual 1SS but just found out today it has the RS package on top of it plus sunroof and ground effect package from factory
Recently bought a 2010 Camaro 2SS M6 with 85k on it, and I have had no major issues whatsoever. Love the car and praying it stays issue free!
i’m looking at the same with 90k miles. Any thing you notice ?
@@TrayJayRecords had the car since may. Absolute dream. Solid engine. Solid transmission. Immediately changed all fluids after purchasing the vehicle, including tranny and diff fluid and oil change. Made a world of a difference for smooth shifts. I learned manual on this vehicle so the clutch would typically be toast but it has not had one issue. One known issue I have ran into that we knew about prior to purchase was an electrical headlight issue. Fixed that simple. And then the throttle body sensor needed to be replaced, however due to the fact that the sensor is built into the throttle body, I had to get a brand new one. Luckily from GM it only cost me $200. I have no serious negatives about this vehicle. Huge upgrade. A lot of power. And I’m not stock either and it’s had 0 major or critical issues. Fingers crossed it stays that way 🤞🤞
@@MrMaro62 does it have a backup camera? ive seen some with the camera in the rear view mirror
I have a 2010 2ss(2009 build date). Only issue I can say it had ever, is the brakes tend to squeal when first driving. Changed to drilled/slotted and ceramic pads, still does it first after starting, but only for a few seconds. Also I do get slight vibration when driving but Is not bad. Could be time to go to new brake setup.
going for drilled and slotted setup to thanks
I'm still waiting for the purpose of this video. I own a 2013 2LT RS babe and I feel like the last girl on earth. Sooo reliable. Drive over 400 miles weekly and still going strong #musclelife
That is great! But, not ever Camaro will have these issues and if you were out looking to buy one, these are great to keep an eye on.
RS is not muscle. Please dont say that again 🙏
@@ALBERT-tz7by it is tho 🙏
Keep getting cat codes in my car at 180K the only major problem I have had with it was replacing the timing chain 100k ago. Everything else has been perfect.
Mystic blue 2014 1SS..intake, headers, exhaust..only issue ever was the trunk lid brake light. Automatic L99 car, love it! Tires are spendy, but it’s my dream car
When I bought my 2010 2SS back in 2012 it had 22s pirelli tires. 22s were heavy so i went with xo wheels in 20 and 315 rear 295 front staggered, bought some super cheap tires called landsail, $400 for all 4, they are still around that price, been excellent, wet, dry, great traction and the tread looks like the pirelli tires. Will buy again when need new tires.
i’ve got a 2013 ls, i love this car sm, no issues, fans amazing, smooth as can be
Thank u brother..nice vid..pure and simple..
I have been driven Camaros for the past 30 years. Out of all the things you pointed out, I only had one of them, the high mounted break light. That is it. I am on number eight camaro and no issues. May be you want to change the title.. it definitely perceives negative image.
The only issue I've had with my 2011 2SS is the trans temp guage in the cluster isn't reading, although the needle does the "sweep" when first starting the car. I haven't crawled underneath it yet to see if maybe a mouse has chewed the wiring or maybe a bad sensor.
Looking for a 5th gen rn😭
For the v6, I’ve seen a lot more issues with coolant areas of the engine. Water pump, thermostat, etc. also the paint on the hood and roof love to fade away
I've also notice the hood paint fading very easily as well, weird
@@auper2223 it’s a pretty easy job to wrap them but they definitely do love to fade
I've recently just got my camaro and had it for about 2 months. Only had a few issues. Mainly cosmetic but the starter just went out on me but other than that nothing. Hopefully it stays like that
I can’t complain about my 20112 SS. It’s is 👌🏽😎
This car with a wide body is nuts
Very much apricated!
Ok I’m glad the steering wheel shaking isn’t just me 😅 I’ve been ignoring it
my 2014 ss 6 speed has 86k miles and has never had any of these problems o.0 also the ls3 can handle 600hp before needing any upgrades at 650 only need to upgrade the valve springs
www.lsxmag.com/tech-stories/engine/preparing-your-ls3-for-surviving-boost/
You are right, but how long will it run, reliably, with 600hp? I’m talking about long term reliability.
4th gens are money pits, but i love the "bullet/jet" styling....wouldn't mind having a 5th gen or 6th
Before my 2010 SS I had a 01 z28, all bolt ons, tune and 3400 stall and gear change. Never broke a single thing, ran 12.2 all day and took it to 1/4 mile track every weekend for 5 years. i was even suprised the rear didnt blow up since i was using drag radials and getting 1.3 60 foot times.
I got a 2012 ls 6 speed but I’m finally upgrading to an ss I’m just having trouble finding 5th gens that are manual
was wondering, about that rear 3rd brake light, couldn't it be easier just to tap into one of the rear brake lights? right or left, and connect the rear 3rd brake light? that would bypass the the removal of the outer body side panel.
i have a 2010 camaro ss ….i owned it for a year now and it has some electrical issues 🙄”75k miles on it”still can’t figure out the problem
From 4k to 86k miles. I haven't had any problems on my 2014.
Thinking about purchasing a 2015 SS from Carvana (only place I can find the car with all the specs I want and a really good price!) 30k, auto, 21k miles, sunroof, RS bells and whistles and what not. Used to have the same car minus the RS package and it was a V6. My question to 5th gen owners is, would you buy the car again? Would you go with a newer generation? I’m a huge fan of the 5th gens though, they just have something about them that makes them pop! Help appreciated!
Does anybody know if these cars also suffer from the harmonic balancer issue like the corvettes?
I have a 2010 2SS and have never had any issues on my car. I dont know anyone that has had these issues, however my Suburban has. Maybe I got lucky
I have a 2010 1ss with 77k miles, only issue has been the fuel pressure sensor.
thankyou for this video
I have a 2012 Camaro, #3 happened to me just last week.
Didn't even mention that there was two different versions of the 3.6 and the earlier ones had timing chain issues just like all of the early cadillacs and traverses.
I have a 2010 that had that 3.6. bought the car in Dec of 13 with 42k miles on it, had to replace the timing chain at about 65k. thank god I had warranty from the dealership I bought the car at. I only had to pay a $500 deductible.
I have an 11 maro v6 has the LLT 3.6 chevy did put soft timing chains in them had mine replaced under warranty it has a few mods an burns down the 05 to 09 gt mustangs so overall no other issues reliable so far
I just hit 20,000 miles original owner I love it .
Some camaros you can access the trunk through the rear seat... mine can't so makes it a b* if my battery is dead dead and can't get to the battery which is in the trunk. I've had to try and charge the car enough with jumper cables taking about 15 min. Actually got a jumper device which works real good enough power to pop the trunk
I’m about to buy one really helpful I like to drive fast so that steering wheel issue will have to get dealt with right away
Great vid, would love one of these one BRZ/GT86/FRS
May be one coming soon 🙏
I’m planning on doing some sort of overview on the Toyota 86 in the upcoming weeks, similar to the Xterra video I just posted.
@@AutoMotivate awesome! Excited to see it
Try the 2014 and up. The early models have the infamous valve recall.
Geroge Costanza look into the Golf mk7 they can be really impressive and compete really easy against the Camaro.
Had my 20102ss for a year now no problems
Is $21,500 2011 ss auto with 65k miles a good deal its in decent condition
Thanks man, I appreciate it. I buy you launch
Any of this apply to a 2015 LS Camaro?
Wish people would talk about the passenger airbag sensor going bad.
That is the only issue i have had on my 2010 2ss rs. Bought a bypass module and solved light issue.
2012 2SS L99. Zero issues. 70K miles
…. forgot the A/C blend door that will break !
I have had my 2015 ss for 3 years and haven’t had a single issue. *knocking on wood*
I have owned a 2010 Camaro SS 6-speed Manual since it came out and here's what has gone wrong with it over a dozen years: (NO SUN ROOF, NOT THE CONVERTIBLE)
- Exhaust baffle in OEM exhaust came loose back in 2011 but was fixed under the warranty. (FIXED!)
- BOSTON ACOUSTICS PACKAGE REAR SPEAKERS blown like 4 times... replaced by GM 4 times under warranty before I finally just gave up. They are still busted to this day. (STILL BROKEN)
- Air Conditioner Unit died one day back in the mid 2010's - ($2000+ at dealership to replace) they had to lift my dashboard out through my windshield apparently. (FIXED!)
- GM tried to take the original GM Switchblade key from my 2010 camaro, break it in half and hand it back to me in two pieces in order to "fix a recall on it" which I promptly made them put it back together because I never asked for this to be done. [I see a lot of youtubers who buy these used with their original key in two pieces] (FIXED!)
- Took 10+ years for any of the headlight/foglight bulbs to go out and they were easy to replace. (FIXED!)
CURRENT ISSUES:
- Driver side window will "drop down" sometimes when I have the car off and I get messages to "roll the window down and up again" on my tach HUD window.
- Driver side wiring is pinched somewhere. When I open my driver side door sometimes it will toggle the locking mechanism and lock and unlock itself. Sometimes I get locked out of the car by mistake.
- A/C lines are letting R-134 out. (I have had this looked at by a dealership in 2021 but it now leaks again in 2022)
- Driveline whine. Shifter started shaking hard going down the road one day (Fixed the shaking cheaply for $100 myself but it still whines)
Things to know about the 2010 specific model:
- No touch screen was offered and this model came before a time where these were standard on vehicles.
- Unique steering wheel to that year before the switched to the "Cobalt Style".
- Sunroof models do not have the cool aerodynamic crease in the roof.
- Poor rear visibility... like a lot of GM stuff including my Hummer H3.
- The stock exhaust has mufflers the size of mini-fridges.
Overall this car has been extremely reliable I have never had an engine issue in all that time.
A sbe LS3 can handle around 700ish hp rather reliably. If you plan on putting a lot of boost on it, and are trying to push more than 750-800hp. Upgrading the internals is recommended, for the engine life. But a sbe ls engine putting down 600-700hp, and being driven daily is not a big deal. As it is pretty common to see nowadays.
I can say it has different outcome for me
FORGOT TO MENTION THE
TIMING CHAIN IN THE 2010 V6 MODEL .
All in all, is this a good first buy? Few details to help: currently drive a prius but want a manual because its fun and i find it helps me stay awake more. looking at 2011 1LS Coupe (if someone could explain what Coupe means too that would be awesome) V6, or maybe a V8 i saw but i dont remember the year or model at the moment. Have some car knowledge, and my dad and brother are better than me (several battery replacements in said Prius, and general maintenance thats allowed it to keep going strong almost 20 years later). Main reason i want a camaro is because 1: they look awesome, B: they seem like good "do everything" cars, and third: im a student aid this next year at school, because homeschool +trade school weirdness, and my two teachers will be driving a corvette and camaro respectively, and as i will be kinda like a teacher ish i thought it would be cool if i also got a chevrolet muscle/sports car and camaros are much cheaper than corvettes, but thats not as big a reason as the other two
154k miles on my SS, and other than tiny tiny paint chips, I've had none of these issues
Couldn’t agree more
Blend door for temperature control for passengers.
Front window and dash needs to be removed or get a hot knife and follow directions in you tube videos, saved $3000.
Other than that by 2014 LS has been bullet proof and fun to drive. 100,000 miles.
I got a SS, the only problem is the radio. it turns on and off.
I have the service stabilitrak warning every time I turn on the car and it goes after shifting to 2nd gear (go over 10-15 kmh) the a abs starts making an odd sound then the warning comes back after going over 50 kmh I had it checked and the computer told me to change the speed sensor (front left) I have changed it and I still have the same problem the car now has no traction control, abs ...
My car is a 2014 v6

Lug nut bolts? Or lug nut studs?
The tire check modules go bad too
I have a 2014 1LE.. with 96k miles on it so far.. only thing I can think of is the shaky steering wheel..
Sunroof leaks into trunk. Covers wiring/battery. you would never know till car starts throwing various codes or goes straight to limp mode
130,000 miles on 2010 ss and getting ready to replace everything between the rear wheels
Like what specifically interested cause I’m getting around that mile mark myself
I have 130k miles on my 2011 LS V6 Camaro and I get this ratlling noise when I start it up and it last for about 5 seconds
Maybe the timing chain

That is a bit of money, however, these LS engines are known to outlast the car. Hopefully it has been beaten its entire life.
@@AutoMotivate it has a huge dent on the side of the car so I know the car was beat up. Thinking of getting a lawyer and using the lemon law if I found major issues they didn't disclose. They told me the car was in should condition. I bought it from a dealership that sells chevy in troy alabama
Bro I can certainly say you did get ripped off I bought mine for 15k with 75k miles and I wouldn’t trade it for the world only problem I’ve had is the brake light

I got 180k and recently replace oil pump that’s it no other issues not bad as I’m the one owner car
What year? How hard do you drive it?
12 years, No leaks.
So what im hearing is "Hey Guys, Chrisfix here!"
Biggest has been the AC/Heather HVAC blend door, 98% your going to run in to this problem. Have fun.
You right on that.
Yes, I had to recently replace the blender door but, there are a couple of videos that show you can go under the dash and fix it. Like i did.
Yeah, that definitely needs to be on this list. My son and I bought a 2014 LT1 auto a few years back and have put 18k miles on it. No problems so far. As far as the blend door goes: I don't use AC, ever (that's what windows are for). Well, actually, when my wife demands that I turn it on, then I put it right at the first blue circle setting (not anywhere near max), but I'm hoping to prolong the life of the blend door by very rarely ever using my AC.
I fixed it on mine, it’s for sure not easy job, but i just cut the side, on mine, and it’s been working perfectly over year or so. No
Issues just yet. Better than spending 3k at Chevy. I only spend like $80 including the blend door.
@@jorgemeza4974 How often did you run your AC prior to the repair (and at what temp level)?
