2022 Chevrolet Camaro: what breaks, and at what mileage
What breaks on the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro
On the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro, the failure owners report most often is other engine problem, with 3 reports on file. Across every failure mode on this year, half the dated reports were filed before 125,000 miles. Overall it scores 62 out of 100, high risk for a 2022.
High risk for a 2022 — 231st riskiest of the 243 2022 vehicles we can rate. 16 owner reports; fleet size estimated from this year's own recall paperwork.
What owners report breaking
Owners have reported 8 named failure modes on the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro, and the three most-reported carry 50% of everything filed.
Other engine problem leads with 3 reports and about 0.4 per 1,000 vehicles.
Other powertrain problem follows with 3 reports.
Other driver assistance problem follows with 2 reports.
By system, the reports fall mostly into transmission (5), engine (3) and adas (2).
The mileage the reports cluster at
Too few of the reports on this year carry an odometer reading to describe the timing: 1 of them do. The mileages quoted elsewhere on this page come from the modes that have enough of them.

What happens when these parts fail
Nothing in the reports on the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro mentions a crash, a fire or an injury. That is the ordinary case and it is worth stating: most defect complaints are about a car that stopped working, not one that hurt somebody.
The average severity weight across every report on this year is 3.81, where a stalled engine or a failed airbag weighs many times more than a rattling trim panel, and a figure this high means the reports are dominated by failures with safety consequences rather than annoyances. The weighting is set out in full on the methodology page.
What the top failures cost to put right, as editorial estimates for an independent US shop rather than figures from NHTSA: other engine problem at $300–$4,000, other powertrain problem at $400–$4,500, other driver assistance problem at $250–$1,800 and transmission slipping at $1,200–$5,500. Dealer labour, a seized bolt or a part that is no longer made can push any of these past the top of its range.
50% of the reports on this year sit in the engine, transmission, drivetrain or cooling systems — the four where a repair bill is usually four figures, so more than half of what owners complained about here is expensive.

Rate per 1,000 uses a fleet-size estimate derived from recall paperwork for this exact model year. It is a lower bound. Repair costs are typical independent-shop ranges for the failure, not figures from these reports.
How often, against how many were built
Scaled by an estimate of how many of these cars exist, the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro draws about 2.1 per 1,000 vehicles, which puts it in the 80th percentile of complaint rates among 2022 vehicles we can rate.
That denominator is the weakest number on the page and it is fair to say so plainly. Rate per 1,000 uses a fleet-size estimate derived from recall paperwork for this exact model year. It is a lower bound.
The working figure is 7,506 vehicles. If the true number is twice that, every rate on this page is half what it says; the ranking against other 2022 vehicles, which is what the risk score uses, is far more robust than the rate itself.
Recalls on the 2022 model year
NHTSA has issued 1 recall campaign covering the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro, affecting an estimated 7,506 vehicles. A recall is a different kind of evidence from a complaint: it is the regulator and the manufacturer agreeing that something has to be fixed, and the fix is free for as long as the car exists.
The campaigns cover power train:automatic transmission. Whether the work was actually done on the car in front of you is a question only the VIN can answer, and the manufacturer or NHTSA will answer it free.
One caution about reading these together: a recall usually raises the complaint count for the same part, because owners who read about it go and file. The mileages stay informative; the counts get noisy.
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
90,081 vehicles 2025-03-06- Defect
- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Cadillac CT6, 2020-2021 CT4, CT5, and 2020-2022 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles equipped with a 10-speed transmission. The transmission may become damaged internally and cause the wheels to lock-up.
- Consequence
- Wheel lock-up while driving increases the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install transmission control module monitoring software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 7, 2025. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-333-4223 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N242480630.
Recall work is free at a franchised dealer regardless of the car's age. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before assuming it was done.
How it ranks in the 2022 field
The score at the top of the page, placed among its peers. The zones are the same thresholds the scorer applies, read out of the scorer itself, so the picture and the band word cannot disagree.
Scores are ranked within the model year, never across years, because an older car has had longer to accumulate reports.

How 2022 compares with the other years
High risk for a 2022 — 231st riskiest of the 243 2022 vehicles we can rate. Because the ranking is against the same model year only, age cancels out of it.
Across the 21 model years of this car that carry enough reports to score, 2022 comes out best at 62 and 2018 worst at 84, with 2022 itself at 62.
No other year of this model scores meaningfully better than 2022, so if this generation is what you want, the year is not the lever.
Within the 2021–2024 generation specifically, 2022 is the strongest year at 62 and 2021 the weakest at 75.
Scores compare each year against other cars of the same model year, so a low number on an older car is a real result and not an artefact of age.
Shorter is better. Years with too few reports to score are shown without a bar rather than as a zero, because no data is not good news.
Within the 2021-2024 generation, 2022 Chevrolet Camaro scores best at 62 and 2021 Chevrolet Camaro worst at 75.
The limits of complaint data
16 owner reports; fleet size estimated from this year's own recall paperwork. Every count on this page is therefore a floor: it is the number of owners who went to the trouble of filing with a federal agency, which is a small and self-selected fraction of the owners who had the fault.
Of those 16 reports, 1 carried an odometer reading, so the mileages here describe 6% of the sample rather than all of it. Owners also round: readings pile up on multiples of ten thousand, which is why this site publishes "about 90,000 miles" and not "91,438".
The failure modes are assigned by software reading the owner's own words, which is accurate in bulk and wrong in individual cases. A mode with a handful of reports may contain a misfiled one.
And nothing here predicts what one car will do. These are other people's complaints, filed years apart, on cars maintained by strangers. Read the page as a map of where this model year has previously gone wrong, then have the specific car in front of you inspected.
Questions this page answers
What are the most common problems with the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro?
The most-reported failures are other engine problem (3 reports), other powertrain problem (3 reports) and other driver assistance problem (2 reports). Counts come from owner complaints filed with NHTSA, which are voluntary, so they show what owners bothered to report rather than every fault that occurred.
Is the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro reliable?
It scores 62 out of 100 on our risk index, which is high — 231st riskiest of the 243 2022 vehicles we can rate. The score is a comparison against other 2022 vehicles, not a prediction about any individual car, and it is built from complaint rates, severity and how early failures appear.
Which year of the Chevrolet Camaro is best?
Within the 2021–2024 generation, 2022 scores best at 62 out of 100 and 2021 worst at 75. Same body, same engines, different luck.
Where this comes from. Every figure above is computed from NHTSA owner complaints and recall records for this exact make, model and year. Complaints are voluntary and self-selected, so treat counts as a floor. The methodology page writes out each formula, and the same numbers are available as JSON.
