What 187 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro With Recaro

3rd brake light randomly goes dim online thousands of people have the same issue, it needs to be a recall. Light diodes are getting bad and the other half are cracking from the heat of the window. Chevy changed the like to the trunk lid. Seems suspicious to me. Chevy needs to make it right.its federal law to have a 3rd brake light.

WHEN I START MY VEHICLE MY RADIO DOESN'T TURN ON RIGHT AWAY. THE AC CONTROL LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF. IT CAN VARY AT TIMES BUT CAN BE UP TO 5 MINUTES ON SOME DAYS. THE RADIO WILL FINALLY WORK. BUT AFTER 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE RADIO CUTS OUT AND ISN'T AS LOUD ANYMORE. I'M ALSO BEGINNING TO NOTICE MY TURN SIGNAL IS CUTTING OUT AS WELL. IT'S SLOWING DOWN. AS IF THE BATTERY IS BEING DRAINED. I NOTICE WHEN U TURN OFF THE CAR ALMOST EVERY TIME THE RADIO WILL TURN OFF COMPLETELY BEFORE I OPEN THE DOOR. I CAME ACROSS SOME OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUES. MOST WHO BELIEVE THAT THE UNIT BEHIND THE RADIO DISPLAY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. WHICH IN MY CASE SEEMS TO BE THE ANSWER. WHICH IS TO MUCH PROBLEMS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. AS FAR AS WHERE IT'S AT NOW. IT COULD GET WORSE DOWN THE ROAD.

THE HIGH MOUNT LED BRAKE LIGHT IS MOUNTED ON THE REAR WINDSHIELD AT AN ANGLE THAT RECEIVES DIRECT HEAT FROM THE SUN CAUSING A SLIM CRACK ON THE BRAKE LED BOARD. THE CRACK WILL SHIFT BACK AND FORTH SOMETIMES ILLUMINATING WHEN BRAKING BUT AT TIMES THE SLIM CRACK ON THE LED BOARD WILL PREVENT THE LAMP FROM ILLUMINATING CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD TO PASSENGERS OF INSUFFICIENT BRAKE NOTIFICATION TO TRAFFIC FOLLOWING BEHIND. A REPLACEMENT LED LAMP WILL SUFFER THE SAME FATE BASED ON THE ANGLE OF THE LAMP POSITIONED FACING THE DIRECT HEAT OF THE SUN. I WAS IN MOTION AND PULLED OVER BY LE BECAUSE THE LAMP WAS OUT BUT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THE OFFICER AND I TESTED IT. MECHANICS INSPECTED THE LAMP AND FOUND THE SLIM CRACK ON THE LED BOARD THAT ALLOWED SHIFTING OF CONTACTS. DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPORTED THIS SLIM CRACK ON THE LED BOARD AS A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO THE INTENSE HEAT OF THE SUN BEARING DOWN ON THE LED LAMP WHICH IS ANGLED OUT WITH NO VISOR.

THE FACTORY RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON WITH BLINKING LIGHTS ON THE RADIO ITSELF ALONG WITH THE A/C UNIT SHUTTING DOWN AND BACK UP. THE TURN SIGNAL ALSO DO NOT MAKE ANY SOUND. SOMETIMES, IF I TURN-OFF THE CAR AND PULL THE KEY OUT AND BACK IN AND CRACK EVERTHING RETURNS AS NORMAL. ALL THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE POINTS TO THE RADIO. THEY JUST REPLACE IT WITH A AFTERMARKET. THEY DO NOT MAKE MY RADIO ANY MORE. SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DEVICE.
