How many miles will a 2013 Camaro last?
The 145 mileages owners gave run from 1 to 300,000 miles. A quarter are at or under 10,000 miles, half at or under 40,000, three quarters at or under 63,000 and nine in ten at or under 100,000; 13 (9%) came after 100,000 miles, 4 (3%) after 150,000 and 1 (1%) after 200,000.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2013 Camaro wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.
Most of these reports came early in the vehicle's life: 132 of the 145 came at or under 100,000 miles. The 13 past that mark show the 2013 Camaro still being driven at those mileages, not how many reach them: NHTSA's file counts complaints, not the vehicles on the road.

Common problems with the 2013 Camaro
NHTSA's file holds 187 owner complaints on the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro. Owners named the electrical system most often: 81 complaints, and half of the 62 that list a mileage came after 52,000 miles. A complaint can name more than one component.
| Component (NHTSA category) | Complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical System | 81 | 62 | 53,000 |
| Steering | 23 | 19 | 19,900 |
| Power Train | 16 | 14 | 8,613 |
| Engine | 15 | 14 | 4,100 |
| Air Bags | 13 | 7 | 30,000 |
Of the 187 complaints, 20 report a crash, none reports a fire and 10 report an injury (10 people reported injured). These are owners' reports to NHTSA, not findings.
Is the 2013 Camaro a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2013 is a good or a bad Camaro: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2013 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 187 complaints, the 2013 ranks 6th of the 14 Chevrolet Camaro model years from 2010 to 2023 with 10 or more complaints, counting from the most. The most: the 2010 (295). The fewest: the 2022 (14).
NHTSA files the Chevrolet Camaro name for 1983–2002 and 2010–2023. A gap of three or more model years means the name covers different vehicles, so the 2013 is compared only with the 2010–2023 model years.
Recent model years have had less time to collect complaints, so their counts are still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.
| Model year | Owner complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2010 Camaro | 295 | 247 | 48,000 |
| 2011 Camaro | 194 | 146 | 40,000 |
| 2012 Camaro | 113 | 83 | 34,000 |
| 2013 (this page) | 187 | 145 | 40,000 |
| 2014 Camaro | 188 | 130 | 36,800 |
| 2015 Camaro | 207 | 146 | 37,000 |
| 2016 Camaro | 141 | 84 | 20,130 |
| 2017 Camaro | 191 | 97 | 21,655 |
| 2018 Camaro | 81 | 34 | 20,000 |
| 2019 Camaro | 53 | 14 | 9,000 |
| 2020 Camaro | 33 | 14 | 21,000 |
| 2021 Camaro | 20 | 5 | Under 10 mileages |
| 2022 Camaro | 14 | 1 | Under 10 mileages |
| 2023 Camaro | 16 | 0 | Under 10 mileages |
The linked 2015–2022 pages show NHTSA's September 15, 2026 collection, so their counts can differ from this table's.

What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2013 Camaro lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2013 Camaro.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 42 of the 187 complaints on the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA name counted: CAMARO. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only this one.
- Recall-file name matched: CAMARO.
