2012 CHEVROLET CAMARO
This model year
What the record shows
The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro is a compact car, and the 45th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1968 to 2024.
The EPA rated seven configurations: engines from 3.6-litre six-cylinder to 6.2-litre eight-cylinder, rear-wheel drive only, three transmissions and running on premium gasoline and regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 14 to 22 mpg depending on which one you have.
NHTSA's best overall crash rating for this model year is 5 out of five stars.
The federal record holds 113 owner complaints, 5 safety recalls and 1,506 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
