Airbag-related complaints lead the pack for the 2010 Camaro, with owners frequently describing the passenger airbag system behaving unexpectedly, most commonly the passenger airbag showing as disabled or switching off on its own, sometimes without an apparent cause and without responding to manual reactivation attempts. Engine complaints are the second most-reported area, where owners describe no-start conditions, check engine lights that flash or stay on, and in some cases fuel leaking near the tank. The powertrain category follows closely, rounding out the three most common areas of concern. The passenger airbag status indicator showing "off" when occupants are present is one of the more consistently repeated symptoms across multiple reports.
