Camaro flaws, true or not?



This video points out 6 major flaws with the 2019 Camaro, not sure which engine though. Is this true? Considering a new ZL1, should I be concerned?

1. Defective power steering
2. Excessive oil consumption
3. Passenger air bag defect
4. Premature timing chain wear
5. Spun cam bearings
6. Head gasket leak/failure

clickbait. You could make a video like this for pretty much any car, just look up recalls, etc.

Just buy the ZL1 and don't stress. That video is horse shit. (This is coming from a Mustang owner)

Yes. All true. Also Camaros are behind the following:
1) Male pattern baldness
2) The decline of civility in local politics
3) Flat beer
4) The death of rock music
5) Random infestation of the dung beetle

You forgot to mention that owning a Camaro is also responsible in the increase in single mothers...

Yeah, well we all know that but it’s a family friendly forum.

So far my 2017 ZL1 has been good and my old 2016 2SS was good too!

I have had my 2018 ZL1 for a little over 14 months now, I have not experienced any of the fake shit the OP is asking about.

I have, however, experienced poor fuel mileage. Especially when REALLY enjoying my car.

Guess I am one of the luck ones...

I think this list is for the GT350.
