Other engine problem on the 2015 Chevrolet Camaro
1 fire 1 of the 19 reports for this failure mention a crash, a fire, an injury or a death. Those are the owner's words on the complaint form, not a verified finding, and one report can mention more than one.
When other engine problem gets reported
Owners of the 2015 Chevrolet Camaro report other engine problem at a median of 30,000 miles. A quarter of the reports come in before 25,000 miles and a quarter after 40,000 miles, from 13 reports that carried an odometer reading.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 95,000 miles. It is the 3rd most-reported problem on this model year.
The mileage distribution
The reported range runs from 5,000 miles at the tenth percentile to 75,000 miles at the ninetieth, a spread of 69,488 miles across the middle 80% of reports.
When the reports scatter this far, the mileage is telling you about how these cars were driven more than about the part itself.
62% of the dated reports were filed under 36,000 miles.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4,292 miles | 24,600 miles | 31,000 miles | 42,000 miles | 73,780 miles |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Of these reports, 1 a fire is mentioned. Owners write their own complaints and the agency does not verify them, so read this as what the reports say happened rather than as a confirmed count.
Putting it right typically runs $300–$4,000 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 15 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2013, at a median of 1,700 miles, and latest on the 1998 at 185,000 miles.
By volume the 2010 carries the most reports, with 22; the 2015 has 19. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
We received a 2015 chevy camaro convertible as a rental car. This car was fresh off the delivery truck with only 6 miles on the odometer. Between the airport and our final destination that evening, we racked up approximately 55 miles. In that time, the car (engine) stalled/lost power/cut out 3 times as of writing this complaint. There was no loss of brakes or steering. The car was provided with a traditional key and not the gm switchblade, and the driver was not sitting close enough to bump the key into the off position. This is obviously not normal, and I am not the only one that has experienced this problem. Whoever is at fault, gm or the rental company for improper inspection before putting the car in the rental fleet, needs to resolve this issue as it is dangerous and potentially deadly. *tr
Purchased camaro ls 2015 - june 26, 2015 car milage at time of first incident 115 miles stalled x 3 #1 july 2, 2015 while driving 20 miles per hour (engine shut down, put car in neutral and stopped, car restarted). #2 july 3, 2015 while driving 45 miles per hour in moderate traffic (engine shut down, put in neutral while driving, car restarted). #3 july 3, 2015 while driving home, another engine shut down in moderate to heavy traffic at 45 miles per hour, put in neutral while driving, car restated). Each of the above shut down events showed no RPM with sudden slowing of vehicle in traffic. I avoided the brakes for fear of increasing risk of rear end collusion. If such an event occurred on a freeway on moderate to heavy traffic, at a speed of 65 miles per hour would create a seriously unsafe situation. The car is unsafe and I had the dealership pick up the car from my home 7-6-15.
Ive had issues with the motor dealer has had to change pistons and vales . Which isn't very unsafe until your driving on the highway then you lose all power ..then you have to dodge traffic..or else.. Ive had issues with the tire sensor that keeps going out, dealer changed it once and within a month it started acting weird again. Keeps telling me to add air to the tires when I took it in to the dealer they said it was fine . Until I get a blow out and wreck. Ive had issues with some lights that flicker while im driving . The dealer says "that there is nothing wrong with the lights" . Gm is buying back this lemon they sold me , however they would like me to keep driving this car with two completely bald tires around while they decide exactly how much they want me to pay them for dealing with this obvious lemon that they sold me. That's the thanks I get for choosing to buy an american made vehicle. I will not even drive this one year old car because it is so unsafe, please look into or at least make some of this information available so that other honest hard working people don't get caught in this horrible situation..

How far this goes
Complaints are voluntary, so 19 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.

How common is other engine problem on the 2015 Chevrolet Camaro?

What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
