2018 Chevrolet Camaro

September 02 2020 I noticed the glass rear window had separated from the soft top. Reported it to my dealer and the $6000 top was replaced under warranty because the glass could not be reglued to the top. In August of 2024 I noticed the same problem. When I took it to the dealer it was no longer under warranty. I went to three auto glass companies and a custom auto design shop for help. They all refused to attempt a repair and said the top had to be replaced. I called GM customer service and they called the dealership and offered a new top for $2000. There is a design flaw in 2016 to 2023 Camaro convertibles as is witnessed by the many bloggers have attested to. Neither GM nor Chevy have offered a recall. The rear window, made of glass, could separate on the highway and cause death or injuries.

Glass window in rear of convertible top is separating from the top. I am concerned it will completely separate while driving and strike another vehicle on the highway. The issue was there when purchased (NEW from dealer), just did not know what the bubbles meant. This vehicle has less than 40,000 mile, and window is ~25% separated.

Car will say “shift to park” warning message even with car in the selected gear of “park”. Happens at least 5 times a week, and I have to turn my car on, back up or pull forward put the car in park, try to turn it off and I will be met with the error message. I have to try this numerous times before it finally realizes the car is in park. I fear if the car comes out of park it will roll down a hill and hurt someone. There is an open recall on Chevy malibus for the same exact reason, hopefully the same can be done for the Camaro and other GM products being affected.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE AND THE WINDOW WOULD NOT SHUT ALL THE WAY. THE DOORS WOULD START UNLOCKING ON THEIR OWN AND THE DRIVER WINDOW WOULD TRY TO ROLL ALL THE WAY UP UNSUCCESSFULLY. THE CONTROL PANEL WOULD FLASH A NOTICE THAT THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN PARKED AND ENGINE TURNED OFF. ONE EVENT LASTED 45 SECONDS WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND ANOTHER EVENT WHILE I WAS SITTING AT MY LOCAL CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER. THIS EVENT HAPPENED WHILE THE REMOTE KEY WAS SITTING ON THE DASH IN SERVICE CENTER ENVELOPE AND THE CAR WAS OFF. THE DOORS STARTED UNLOCKING AND LOCKING AND DRIVER WINDOW STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN. THEN ALL THE DOORS LOCKED WITH ME INSIDE OF THE CAR AND I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR TO GET OUT ALL WHILE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON. I RECORDED THE EVENTS AS THEY OCCURRED BUT THEY ARE IN ,MP4 FORMAT AND I AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD THEM.

MY CONVERTIBLE TOP REAR WINDOW IS STARTING TO COME OUT. THE GLUE IS SEPARATING AND I HAVE SEEN 20 PLUS TOPS THAT ARE DOING THE SAME THING. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL THE GLASS SHOP SAYS IT'S AN ABSOLUTE SAFETY HAZARD IT COULD BLOW OUT ON THE FREEWAY. THERE ARE PLENTY OF FORAMS TALKING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS WELL. APPARENTLY THE TOP AND GLASS ARE ONE PIECE SO THE WHOLE TOP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AS IT IS SAFETY-RELATED. SOMEBODY COULD GET HURT IF THAT GLASS FLIES OUT ON THE FREEWAY
