Rattling noise at engine idling condition, coming from passenger side in engine compartment. Once vehicle reaches an idle condition around 650 rpm, the noise is present and will go away once engine rpms increase. Likely related to bulletin #PIP5395B (or subsequent update). Could also be confused with a small exhaust leak or an interference condition between some part of the engine and chassis.
Car (with 6 miles/brand new) was taken to dealer for a rattle in the engine bay. They have explained the fuel line is rattling against the fire wall. They tried to fix it and the problem was not resolved. They are saying they have to contact GM to open a case. This should be cause to update the TSB: PIP5395E for the same issue.

The contact stated that while driving on several occasions at various speeds, the vehicle lost power and did not accelerate as intended intermittently and began to shake. The contact added that on some occasions while parked and attempting to start, the vehicle did not start as intended but would eventually start after a few attempts.

The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Camaro. While attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. DTC: P12A6 (Fuel Pump Drive Control Module) failure was retrieved. An independent mechanic was contacted and advised the contact to jump-start the vehicle. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer, but it was not inspected. The contact was informed that the repair was not covered under Manufacturer Communication: N2525169000. The contact was advised to contact the manufacturer for assistance. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. Additionally, the repair was not covered under the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.
Exhaust-Piece that holds exhaust together has come loose twice now. Dealership confirmed the cause was due to a poor manufacture weld. The dealership has replaced the exhaust once, and this time the manufacturer is only agreeing to pay a portion of the cost. It was replaced less than two years ago and the car is driven less than 12,000 mi a year. Safety issue- because the piece that holds the exhaust together is welded on poorly (please see picture) and easily falls off. This is also a serious health hazard because when there are cracks in the exhaust fumes are inhaled. I would appreciate it if NHTSA would investigate this issue, as my next step is to file a lemon law claim.
Part number 12703596 that feeds the fuel line has an L bracket that holds the line in place. This bracket is secured to the CylinderbHead on the driverside of the vehicle. The bracket separated from the fuel line at the weld creating a hole. This caused a fuel leak. This fuel leak sprayed fuel down the backside of the engine towards the exhaust. Luckily I did not cause a fire.
This car originally was towed four times because of the failure of the fuel pump wiring harness to the PCM unit the fix was they put a fusible link between the fuel pump I believe and the PCU it still has problems it's intermittent it has issues of burning and melting the case or the plug-in is burnt in there we've addressed it with upper management of Chevrolet and they wanted us to take it to a different dealership and it was just a fiasco after that they said they fixed it they didn't fix it gave it back to us. I'm the father of the driver of the car I worry about my grandchildren and my son having a fire in that car I keep having problems we have to go get them and jump start them and figure the mess with the wires in the trunk so tired of this thing please help there has been consecutively people on the internet telling how to fix which General Motors should be responsible for this …
2017 Camaro zl1 manual this is specific for this car model. There is an issue with throttle response when moving out of a stop. Engine stalls and RPM comes back afterward very high. This is dangerous on cross road stops and stop lights. Had few events the car would almost stall and be in a dangerous place in the road with upcoming traffic. This problem can cause a collision. It requires new ignition timing programming of the ECU. Chevrolet is aware of the issue for a long time and has not issued any fixes yet.
