- What is up guys. This is my list of the most common problems or complaints from owners of 5th Gen Camaro's (2010-2015). Like I said, some of them I have experienced myself, and some I have not. I feel like this is a good video for people to watch before buying a 5th gen Camaro. If you own one, let me know if I missed anything in the comments below! Also, make sure to like and subscribe!!

Backseat room not a problem, it’s a choice. Nobody buys one for that!!
True!
It's a sports car not a family car
@@dontabaltimore1974I use my coupes as family cars. If you can bring the family along why not!?
I've had the AC problem. I bought a used 2012 and after owning it for about a year, the AC didn't work. Apparently it was a blend door problem which costed a lot to fix. All the other things aren't really glaring issues
A/C is a popular one. I know that the fix sometimes is to recharge the A/C or something with the fuse. Thanks for the comment !
Costed 🤦♂️
I’ve never sat in the back of my Camaro after owning it for 10 months. Visibility you’ll get use to after driving it for a while. Other than that good car! Keep up on the maintenance.
I still love 5th gens!
Me too, these are just some common complaints people have, it still is a lovely car overall.
I've driven mine like a racecar daily for over 6 years and have 87,000 miles on it. I literally hit over 6k rpm daily. I have not had one problem AT ALL with my car! Literally NOTHING is any different than when it was brand new! I haven't even had a light bulb burn out! No squeaks, leaks, nothing. Ac blows cold af and the brakes are still perfect. Gas cap is perfect too.
amazing! new oil every year or?
Gods of cars have blessed you
@@thebossnocompetition8757 probably lol
@@thebossnocompetition8757every year?! Average mileage per year is 12 to 15 thousand miles. Oil should be changed every 7,500 miles if you use Mobil One. 3,000 otherwise. You’re talking very poor maintenance schedule!
How’s the maro running in 2023?
Tbh i like these better than 6th generations
I like both but tbh I agree with you. For some reason I like the 5th gens as well slightly better. Thanks for the comment.
@@NLM np and u got a extra subscriber now
Appreciate that boss ! 🤙🤙

I’ve never heard of the gas cap problem. That would scare me see a check engine light and not knowing what’s wrong
Yeah that’s what i’ve heard. Like I said, it’s never happened to me but I would be confused if I had a check engine light and it was for a worn out gas cap.
This is common on all vehicles these days, not just 5th gen Camaro's.
But thats any car tho if your gas cap messed up the engine light comes on
Happened to my g8
It’s a Evap leak ! It’s annoying lol
Great job on the video - keep them coming
Thank you brother!
Nice video man! Thanks for the feature :)
Of course brother! 👍
I am gathering a list of weaknesses for 5th gen camaro. I might look into an improved gas cap if there is one. The slave cylinder is horrbile cheap plastic. If anyone knows of parts that *should* be upgraded, either performance or not, I would love to hear your input.
So weird. I’m currently shopping for a SS. And that elementary school behind you is where I worked for the work program in high school back in 2000.
I keep getting recalls on my key fob, I'm keeping it. Bought extra ones real cheap online.
I noticed a lot of people replacing them too, on TH-cam. And I was considering it too if mine breaks. How many did you buy??
@@NLM
I bought 2
Dealership only charged $5 each to cut them. Program them yourself as long as you already have a key fob that works.
Dang that’s nice $5 is so worth it. Awesome man! Thats interesting they only charged $5.
just got one with 177k miles, idle is rough, VERY, changing spark plugs tmr any more ideas? v6 only idles rough almost moving me in my seat if not. drives good though
I have 2010 Camaro SS V8. My biggest complaint here, is that you have it out in the snow and not stored for the winter ;)
I got a 12 SS 6 speed cammed, kook's headers and a tune.. oil pump seized up 2weeks ago at 62,000 put new pump in and went for test ride and grabbed 2nd and snapped half shaft on passenger side.. apparently GM discontinued the cv shafts so this will be a upcoming issue for alot of us with 5th gen that drive a bit aggressive.. I didn't buy it to baby it.. I bought it to drive it!!! Enjoy
The recall is my only problem the key will tend to get stuck after awhile
Wait, you don't have a key locking gas cap? That thing as annoy my the most. Every time I need to open this thing with the fricking key... Did you replace in or you didn't had it initially? Does your gas cap is locking some other way?
I got a 2015 Camaro Convertible! It’s goes in drive and that’s about it. Do I need transmission fluid?!
On point
🔥🔥💪
I'm having ac problems with mine. Visibility isn't an issue the more you get familiar with your camero.
What louvers do you have?? I really want the ones that bold on like that for the 5th Gen.
I got them on amazon! If you just look up “camaro louvers” and the year, it should pop up! lmk if you can’t find it boss
“Girlfriend and golf clubs room” in the backseat and trunk and the visibility is horrible, no room for storage. Will save you thousands on purchases at Costco and Lowe’s etc. I mean the car isn’t made for everyone or everyday driving. It’s fast it’s fun especially if it’s a manual transmission.
Love the transformer bubble Camaro 💪🏿💯
Appreciate it 💯
Hello I’m thinking of buying a 2011 Camaro SS do you know if this year comes with hill assist?
Honestly not sure
I have a 2014 ss standard trans and it does come with hill assit 👍
On my 2012 had gas cap problem, my mechanic said go buy a GM gas cap ($49 or so) problem gone.. AC is fine.. 89k and I traded it in on a 2020 2SS Convertible this Feb 2024.. my 65th birthday, so I got me something Nice.
I'm having the gas cap issue right after 70,000 miles.
Another issue I’ve had with mine is the trunk latch malfunctioning, sometimes it won’t open or close.
Thank you for sharing this. Maybe others have the same problem.
If there is a way you fix this, definitely let us know.
@@NLM I haven’t looked into a permanent fix, I’m pretty sure the cause of it has something to do with the emergency escape lever. When it gets stuck I will apply pressure to the trunk itself and it will usually unlatch. When it won’t close, i take a key and move the latch a bit to the side and it will close. Hope this helps
Pinched wires
If you complain about visibility your a chump just buy a Honda
Lol 😂
I started driving my 2013 Camaro at 16 no issues at all
💪💪
you're*
Im looking to buy a 2010-2012 camaro rs any problems I should look for? I’m buying cash on Facebook or OfferUp.
Recommend to take it to a mechanic
Go buy an SS
I’m at 97k miles and the only issue I’ve ever had is this squeaking sound coming from the bottom of the car. Sounds like the drive shaft or something. But the car still drives fine
Never had that problem but hopefully it’s an easy fix. Glad to hear that otherwise, everything is okay. 👍
I think it's the exhaust line mine does the same it's from hitting the undercarriage on the ground mine I noticed it after I left a bad drive way. As I was 3/4 down the dirt/gravelish driveway I heard a loud thump never been the same since
My pinion bearing is pretty worn out does it make the noise with every rotation of the wheels? The previous owner had little diff fluid in the rear and the bearings went out with no lube.
My 2014 SS's radiator just blew up when I hit 120,000 miles.
oh no 😢
I took my Dad to get a new 1ss Camaro with the LS3 M/T. It was a screaming deal at $33k so how the hell can you not buy that, lol. When he got too old to drive the manual, he let me have it to drive for a while and I had the option to buy it cheap. I would up passing on it mainly because the ergonomics made me feel very uncomfortable and my wife throught so as well. The clutch had that clothespin spring that released like a compound bow right at the worst moment (probably added by the legal team), and the weight somehow managed to make even the LS3 feel soggy at low RPM's (compared to my Corvette). It's a stout package and I'm a big fan of Camaro's and Corvettes, but this one wasn't for me. It did rip like nobody's business when it hit the engine's powerband and alawys wanted to shatter past the rev limiter. I recall he had headers and a tune from Janetty.
Great story! As a Corvette owner now, nothing beats the ‘Vette.
Blend door, radio and recliner seats go out.
Both of my keyfobs have disintegrated. I have to jam another key inside the keyfob in order to reach the buttons to press and unlock my doors. What a PITA! Chevy ought to replace these for free.
They should!
visibility is bad ( puts vents on the back window to reduce it some more lol )
😅😅
I own a 2011 Camaro SS and in all honesty they're great vehicles, just not meant to be daily drivers I only drive mine on the weekends
I drive mine every day, through the winter too.
Hold up do you have break covers on a stock rs ?
Yup. I know you are trying to make fun of me but it doesn’t make any sense. If it wasn’t stock and I had upgraded brakes than I obviously wouldn’t have a cover. So there’s no inconsistency there. Normally people with caliper covers have V6 or I4 stock cars from what i’ve seen so it’s so odd that your acting surprised Layton. If the engine was upgraded the brakes would be too. I never mislead anyone either, did I ever say the car was modded smh. Live your life Layton stop judging NoLimitMax. Let max just live his best life. B/c Max wants you to live your best life and he won’t judge you. He’ll respect whatever you want/have Layton. He’s a nice guy. Happy 4th 💪💪💪
lol ur so tall u can’t fit in the back seat! This video is such good quality 🔥😱
😂 Haha not necessarily, i’m about 6 feet. But, if I was 5’8, it still would be uncomfortable. Just not enough head room, unless your a kid.
@@NLM lol i am 15 and i am little bit over 5'8 and i want to buy this car when ill be able to drive it (in my country over 109hp is when you have a license over 3 yrs) even than this car is gonna be my favorite, i have question about fuel economy differences between v6 rs v8 ss and v8 zl1 (if its available in europe)
NOT ANOTHER FREEMASON HOLDING THE HANDSIGN!!!
So basically nothing important like the engine, transmission, etc.
I have owned a 2013 2SS for over 5 years with no problems except a broken
washer pump(£15 for AC Delco!).
These are just five common problems. They are not necessarily significant and I still love the car. Thanks for watching
I hate the later car shapes, and is it any wonder why the Mustang took it's sell's?
How does a barely pubescent teen frat boy afford one of these?
I live in the UK so they're not exactly common and IDK much about costs etc.
That year on carvanna doesn't go over 24k. They're not that expensive. I've seen them as cheap as 15k
@@thepatplays8351 15k is still fucking expensive... Damn middle-class privilege.
@@DarthWall275 it is, but it's not impossible to own. If you can budget yourself and have responsible spending habits, you can definitely own one at that age. I know because I'm 21 and I have one.
@@thepatplays8351 That certainly doesn't like a responsible decision, especially when student loans are a thing.
@@DarthWall275 who said you'll have loans? Grants exist. I went to a two year school applied for a Grant and got over 5k. Mind you my books weren't even that expensive. So most of it was money in my pocket. Like I said... know how to spend your money wisely, and you'll have nice things. Of course it's not for everyone and everyone's circumstances are different... nonetheless my point is, it's possible for a 20 year old or a Lil younger to own a sports car as such.
All ac units meed recharged in cars😂 its just maintenance
LOL who buys a Camaro for Headroom, FOB? got mine for 10 years and don't roll in the dirt with it, visibility no problems but I wouldn't put a Louvers on there either.
Good mods for this Camaro anyone ?
Uhh...
Back seat? Seriously? That's where you throw shit you never expect to see again. Like small kids.
Key fob deteriorating? It's a standard Key fob. What the hell is in your pocket that's dissolving plastic?
Rear visibility? I don't give a shit who's behind me.
A/C ? Never had a problem with it unless you're in the back seat. At which point, you don't exist.
Can't remember number 5.
I love my 5th Gen 2015 1LE. She's a beast. The Gen6 went to a smaller frame and the "cockpit" it claustrophobic. Can't do it. I'll never sell my Gen5.
There’s nothing wrong with a 5th gen Camaro and I love mine as well. These are just some common problems but they do not apply to everyone, like you said, or they aren’t significant enough to deter someone from not buying it. Thanks for the comment.
Complaints ,,, really ,,, I have a 2021 1LT Coupe and before I bought the vehicle I checked and compared ( against a 2021 Mustang ). First of all why would anyone knowing what the back seat is like ( space / comfort ) purchase the car then complain afterwards ,, simply defies logic ,,does it not ?
Key fob ,, not a problem I'm familiar with, when you buy a new Camaro, Chevrolet provides you with two key fobs. Gas cap breaks ,, I have the black package in my Camaro and I will have traded my blue beauty long before I reach 112,000 km. ( 70,000 miles ).
Bad visibility ,,, surely one is well aware of the visibility ( or lack of it ) prior to buying the car ,, buy the car then complain afterwards ,, again, defies logic. I certainly can't speak to the issues regarding air conditioning as my Camaro is 2021. In the event that anyone may be interested ,, my 1LT Camaro compared to a Ford Mustang ,, my Camaro is finished in Riverside Blue Metallic, the engine is V6 ( great engine ), I have a ten speed auto. transmission with paddle shifters, I have the RS package.
I have run flat 20" tires on polished steel mags, the upgraded infotainment centre etc. I thoroughly compared this vehicle against a comparably equipped Mustang and it was a totally no brainer in the choice so dollar for dollar the Mustang was $ 4836.90 more expensive ,, I still say who would buy a " muscle " car with a four cylinder engine like this Mustang had. The Mustang had a bit better visibility ( not by much ) and it did have more rear seat legroom.
The Camaro was finished much nicer ( according to my wife ) the Mustang was equipped with 18" wheels and had a eight speed auto. transmission. Without question when it came to bang for the buck the Camaro was miles ahead ,, you can sure buy a hell of a lot of gas for $ 4836.90 ,, I love our Camaro ,,
Just because you purchase a car knowing it has a certain problem does not mean the problem no longer exists.
100$ for a gas cap? 😂
Fireee how much is a Camaro 2010 ss used ?
It really depends tbh. Probably around $17-25K
You can find gripes with any car.Take a walk ,if you don't like the way you walk get a wheel chair.
Good analogy 😂
@@NLM Thanks,I try to be a comic in my comments.Humor is better than Nasty.
I just came to lol @ the chick doing camaro reviews on a replica camaro. Hahaha. A Malibu with a Camaro body.
Haha thats crazy lol 😂
Who cares about A/C? Man up! I live in Atlanta and never use the A/C in my cars.
My bad lol
You forgot about the death wobble at 60 mph
🤣🤣🤣🤣
No problems with it being a gas guzzler? That doesn't seem right
18 city 29 highway thats not too bad
@@NLM I've only had the car for a couple of weeks but it feels like a lot less than that to me.
Somewhere around 13 miles per gallon, I'm filling up twice a week it's ridiculous!
Biggest problem of them all is your V6 engine
Roman, 😂😂 That is the funniest thing I have ever heard 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LOL
That v6 will leave 90 percent of cars on the road eat your dust so who gives a f lol
2014 Ss standard trans little over 600hp 6.2 stage 3 cam and trans.heads ported polished 3 inch long tube headers and cat delete it's a belt killer stretch fit ac belt eater. But wouldn't trade it for sht. Nice call on Gm know issues!! Thanks 👍😎
you need new wheels man
These are all stupid reasons to complain about. Thumbs down sir.
Another one or why don’t you go out and buy a damn import or something with a big backseat and four doors?
Sometimes the pros outweigh the cons
