How serious. Out of all 4 owner complaints filed so far (every year since it was sold, not just the first 3), owners reported:
“Average car” = what the same number of complaints would include at the rate across every model year we track. Owners report these themselves; NHTSA doesn't confirm the cause.

Newest year first. Red = worse than average, gray = about average, too new (2023+: a partial score, marked “partial”) or too few complaints to score. #1, #2… = that year's YouTube rank among the 13 Chevrolet Camaro years with enough videos (#1 = the year owners and reviewers talk about most positively). It is not a reliability rank.

It measures complaints, not crash safety. A complaint is an owner's report, not a confirmed defect. How it works
