TODAY IN THE MORNING, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK AND AS I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MPH, I HEARD A CLUNK SOUND UNDER THE CAR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THEN I BEGIN TO DRIVE AGAIN AND I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS DRIVING AT A HIGH RPM AND IT SEEMED LIKE WAS STUCK AT A SHIFT AND IT DIDN'T WANT TO CHANGE GEARS SO I SLOWED DOWN PULLED INTO AN ENTRANCE AND TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND I DIDNT SEE ANYTHING WRONG; NO LEAKS OR NOTHING. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND DROVE IT TO AUTO PARTS TO SEE HAVE THEM RUN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TEST AND 3 CODES CAME UP WHICH WAS P0964, P0966, AND P0700. AFTER THAT I TOOK IT BACK HOME AT A SLOW SPEED AND LEFT IT THERE UNTIL I GOT BACK HOME FROM WORK. I STARTED MY CAR UP AND DIDNT SEE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON ANYMORE. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT SERVICED AND CHECKED.

Cooling Temperature Sensor not working. Car Temp Gage stuck at C, fan always running. This has happened a couple time before My Chevy mechanic on South Orange Blossom Trail say he gets a lot of Camaros with same problem. Asked me to report so there may finally be a recall on this model. When I look up on Google i get this..... "A common issue with a 2019 Chevy Camaro convertible 6-cylinder experiencing problems with the temperature gauge is a faulty coolant temperature sensor, which can lead to inaccurate readings on the gauge, often showing a consistently cold temperature even when the engine is warmed up; this can be caused by a faulty sensor itself, a loose connection, or a damaged wire. " If you look at some threads, many are complaing about same thing

While driving with Cruise control on doing 70MPH (+\- 5mph) the car was in fuel management mode so only 4 of the 8 cylinders were in use. When going on an uphill incline the car cycled to V8.

The rear window is separating from the roof. It seems to be a common problem with certain Camaros and other type GM convertibles. The original roof was replaced on this vehicle for same problem. The replaced rear window, roof is now separating from the roof again. (in less than 2 years since the original roof was replaced) GM/Chevrolet's only fix is to replace the entire roof. It appears to be a manufacturing defect with the glue/adhesive in the manufacturing process. Chevy will not honor or stand behind their product and want me to pay for the entire roof replacement. It is a known issue among Convertible Camaro owners. Chevy even issued a Technical service bulletin on this issue in November of 2019. Bulletin # 17-NA-216. It seems GM will only fix this issue if the vehicle within the 3 year 36,000 mile warranty. I believe this is a safety issue because the rear window could shatter while driving or become loose and fly off and hit other vehicle while at highway speed.

When driving all gages stop working all lighting inside and outside when driving. Happens sporadically. Took to Chevrolet and they said needed a battery so i changed and still happened. Took to performance shop and left for almost a month where a diagnosis was made that it was a corroded rear bumper wiring harness. I also found this problem on a forum with other cameros. He cleaned and it did not act up for a couple of weeks then on my way to work early one morning this week (dark outside) running approx 60 mph all of my lights went out again. My car still runs just no lights. Called Chevrolet to report safety issue with no resolution
