Mine has got so bad over the last month that I never know if it's going to start when I get in it after going somewhere.....

Last time there was a strong electrical burning smell coming from the engine compartment.

But it still jump starts and runs just fine....

Thinking of replacing the battery (still original in 2017 Camaro) as a (new) starting point.

EDIT: new fun fact....trying to start just now (tried about 3x) something right under the engine caught on fire. Couldn't see exactly what but could see the smoke and glow. Luckily had lawn hose nearby to put it out. Guess it's dealer time (again)
