Should You Buy the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro?
This is a good used buy, with caveats. Reliability is above average against other 2022 sedans and sits in the middle of the six scored Camaro years. Complaints are low for the number sold, and the federal crash-test rating is 5 of 5 stars. Repair costs run a little above the class, at $585 a year against $526. The 2023 model rates better, with no complaints or recalls on file.
The few complaints are serious. One owner lost an engine to rod bearing failure at 14000 miles on a 6.2, and warranty coverage was denied over an engine computer calibration not done by a dealer. In another report, no air bags deployed in a total-loss crash at 1638 miles. A different car shows an intermittent air bag warning, mostly after sitting for a couple of days. Another had delayed first-to-second shifts and later stalled while driving. Federal records list one recall, in the power train area.
Ask the seller for proof that the power train recall was completed. Have the air bag warning light checked, and ask whether the engine computer was ever recalibrated. Test drive for shift delays. If a 2023 fits your budget, it is worth a look.
Compared to the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro, which scored 6 points higher. See also the 2020 Chevrolet Camaro for an earlier comparison.

Used Buying Checklist
Key things to inspect or verify before purchasing a 2022 Chevrolet Camaro.
Turn the key and confirm the air bag warning light clears, ideally after the car has sat for a couple of days.
Ask for written proof of dealer service on any engine or intake calibration, since non-dealer work led to a denied warranty claim.
Listen at idle and under load for knocking from the 6.2 engine, and ask for oil change records.
Accelerate gently from a stop and feel for a delayed first-to-second shift or failure to go into gear.
Scan for stored codes, especially P0700, before buying.
Have a dealer run the VIN for open recalls and check whether repair parts are actually available.
On convertibles, inspect the rear window's bottom corners for glass pulling away from the top.
Watch the dash on a test drive for the stability control light cycling on and off with the check engine light.
2022 Chevrolet Camaro Common Problems by Component
10 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
ENGINE
3 complaintsRod bearing failure that ruins the engine is the most serious report, on a 6.2 engine at 14000 miles. Warranty coverage was denied in that case because of an engine computer calibration not done by a dealer. Another car sat at a dealer for 2 months waiting on a back-ordered valve body. Manual-transmission cars need both the clutch and brake pressed to restart, so a stall in an intersection means stopping fully before restarting, a real collision risk.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2 complaintsRear window glass separating from the convertible top is the main concern. It starts at a lower back corner and spreads to the other side. If it lets go fully, the glass could fly off and hurt someone. A separate complaint describes the stability control system switching on and off with the check engine light lit. A dealer suggested a fuel cleaning, but two rounds of fuel additive did not fix it.
AIR BAGS
2 complaintsSafety-relatedTotal nondeployment in a crash is the gravest report. No bags deployed in a total-loss collision at 1638 miles, the driver was injured, and a fault message appeared in the phone app only afterward. Separately, an intermittent air bag warning shows on the dash at 15300 miles, mostly after the car sits for a couple of days. Both complaints point to a safety system that may not be ready when needed.
POWER TRAIN (2 complaints)
POWER TRAIN
2 complaintsDelayed shifts from first to second gear show up within weeks of purchase on an LS. Dealers could not reproduce the problem until a check engine light later set code P0700. The car sometimes fails to go into gear and stalls while driving, which creates a risk in traffic. The other complaint is not a failure. It describes a recall repair that cannot be completed because the part is unavailable, and the wait has run past a reasonable time.
BACK OVER PREVENTION (1 complaints)
BACK OVER PREVENTION
1 complaintWhen the vehicle is in reverse - the grid lines are so thin and faint, they are almost invisible. This greatly affects how close I reverse to another car or object. Also in reverse: There is no warning bell or chime when I am close to an object. The grid lines should be more pronounced.
