Muscle car imported into France (4 dealers in 2016-2017 according to L’Argus), with a 275 hp 2.0 turbo or a 453 hp 6.2 V8, as a coupé or convertible. The first years (2016-2017) saw jerky shifts from the 8-speed automatic gearbox and a recall for loss of power steering: check that the recall has been carried out. No Euro NCAP rating found.

Known faults
Jerky shifts from the 8-speed automatic gearbox
Severity 1/3 · Annoying2016-2017 Camaros with the 8-speed automatic gearbox have experienced shuddering and jerking when changing gears (Jalopnik / SlashGear). GM issued technical service bulletins (TSB 16-NA-175, TSB 18-NA-355) for vibrations linked to the torque converter clutch on 8L45 and 8L90 gearboxes, with a fluid change; the fix did not work for every car and a torque converter replacement was sometimes needed (more than $2,000 according to Jalopnik).

The remedy is replacement of the housing by a dealer. Recalls concerning 2017 power steering are also listed by VinCheck.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

- Maintenance: published servicing price plus an estimated allowance for tyres and brakes.
- Depreciation estimated at 12% of the median price a year, as no year-by-year valuation is usable.

Inspection checklist
Chevrolet Camaro VI — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Using the VIN, check with a Chevrolet/GM dealer that the power steering recall (2016-2017) has been carried out.
- Automatic gearbox: extended test drive at a steady speed to detect shuddering or jerking.
- Ask for the invoice for any gearbox fluid or torque converter change.
- Check the service book and the import history of the vehicle (only 4 dealers in 2016-2017).
- Convertible: test the opening and closing of the roof.
Questions to ask the seller
- Has the power steering recall been carried out? Do you have proof?
- Has the automatic gearbox had a fluid or torque converter change?
- Was the car sold new in France or imported, and who has serviced it?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
Electric or hybrid equivalent
