Mine is a 2010 and it's holding up really well. There's the usual wear and tear but nothing major. I just replaced the brake pads last weekend and last month the tires. Other than those things I haven't had to change anything (minus oil). Overall I'd say mine is very reliable.

I've only had to bring it in to replace the whole NPP exhaust, the shifter lock assembly, and tighten up an important bolt on the steering rack which was causing the car to make a bump noise when turning right sometimes... other than those, it's been great to me!

I've only had mine for 6 months (in the winter to boot!) and had to have the rear end gears changed.....to 391's. Geesh GM! Get it right!

There was just a post awarding the Camaros getting the best reliability award for sports car the other day. For reliability reporting to truedelta.com I can compare reported problems with other vehicles of the same type from Dodge and Ford and know we are more reliable.

I've had mine for just over 2 years now. Not including the regular maintenance and wear & tear items. The only major problem I had was an issue with the paint on the roof of the car, which was fixed under warranty. I currently am having a random problem pop up with the TPMS sensor not reading occasionally, but it might just be a battery in the TPMS starting to go bad. Other than that, its been good.

I have a 2010 2SS/RS. Bought her new in June 2010. She's got over 60k miles now. Lot's of mods. No issues at all. Wear and tear things like windshield replacement, just changed the original front brake pads and rotors last August, e-brake could use some tightening. The stock exhaust developed a bad rattle when I was running a muffler delete a few years ago so I bought a new header back system. Paint chips easy. Overall I still love this Camaro.
