We were hit perpendicular to the passenger side door of our 2021 Camaro. The side airbag(s) did not go off. The other vehicle was going about 15-20 mph upon impact. The right side of our car was seriously smashed in. Its a good thing the passenger was not killed or injured and this is a law of physics abnormality.

Is 18 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2021 and 2026, roughly 3 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2021 has 18 complaints on file, fewer than the 2020 (31) and more than the 2022 (13). Of the 14 model years of the Chevrolet Camaro we cover, the 2010 has the most (295). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
