Chevrolet Camaro Problems
Power Window Not Working Due to Window Motor
A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.
T-Top Models Are Prone to Water Leaks
The t-top models are prone to water leaks from the t-tops weather strip seals. Our technicians tell us that replacing the all of the t-top related weather strips will commonly correct most leaks. Care should be taken when removing and installing the t-tops in order to avoid damage to the weather strips.
Hood and Rear Hatch Supports May Fail
The hood and rear hatch supports may fail causing the hood or hatch fall back down after being raised to the open position. Replacement of failed supports is recommended.
Rear transmission mounts commonly fail
Failure of the rear transmission mounts is common.
Dim Tail or Brake Lights Due to Faulty Light Sockets
The tail or brake lights may be dim due to a poor ground connection inside the light socket. Failed light sockets will require replacement.

1990 camaro...replacedwheel bearingsbut once you get to about 55 or 60 it feels like the wheel is going to fall off...dont know what else to do to fix it....any ideas camaro lovers....
Bought car 7 years ago with 73K miles and now have 197k, other than normal wear and tear maintenance items, i.e. alternator, air conditioner, power window motors, water pump, oil pan leak, and convertible top, it has been an inexpensive car to drive. It is in great shape and FUN to drive, after 14 years on the road it still shines like new, but it is time to reupholster the seats. It's a great car and I will hang on to it till the wheels fall off.
I own 3 of these cars and all are over 200k miles never really had any major issues on one i had to replace the distributor but only because my meth injection hose blew off and sprayed the entire engine area with methanol and some got into the distributor, which methanol causes things to rust extremely quickly so that problem was more my fault not the car. the distributor also does not go out as easily as allmons makes it seem. These cars can go an extremely long time with no problems. I saw a camaro dead on the side of the road last month but that was driver error the guy hydrolocked it trying to get through a few feet of water which reached to the airbox. So if you like parking your car in puddles the distributor will go out other then that it will chug along for over years.
The LT1 reverse coolant flow engine is an unmitigated disaster. Over heating problems are rampant. Weak transmission, shoddy build quality, continually failing components inside AND outside. Even the decals and exterior badges are of inferior quality! Engines often require rebuild with 75000 to 125000 miles. Transmission failure all but guaranteed around 100,000 miles. This car is fun when everything works, but totally impractical and a HUGE investment. You will keep after market parts suppliers in business, and yet you will still be frequently stranded! Icing on the cake - the distributor notoriously fails and costs around $1100 for the dealer to replace. For a fast, fun and dependable ride - look elsewhere, my friend!!!!!
Great looking car and very reliable. As long as u keep up with regular maintenance this car can blow past 200k miles without any major problems. The handling and interior of the car is not the best in the world but outside its a great looking car and in a straight line will blow past every car in its class.
