THE RADIO MAKES VERY LOUD POPPING NOISE AND ALL POWER CUTS OUT TO THE DISPLAY, TURN SIGNALS, HEATING/COOLING FUNCTIONS. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY EVERY TIME DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE TRIGGERS ARE USING THE POWER WINDOWS, USING TURN SIGNAL, ADJUSTING HEAT/AC, OR PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE. NOT ONLY IS IT INCONVENIENT TO NOT HAVE RADIO OR HEAT/AC. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD TO NOT HAVE TURN SIGNALS AND HAVE VERY LOUD AND DISTRACTING POPPING NOISES WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHER CAMARO OWNERS AND EVERY ONE OF THIS MODEL HAS THE SAME ISSUE AROUND 40,000 MILES.

CAN NOT REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION WHEN SHUTTING OFF. HAVE TO START VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES AND MOVE GEAR SELECTOR MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE I GET THE KEY OUT. CAR IS IN PARK. UNSAFE TO LEAVE VEHICLE UNLOCKED WITH KEY IN IGNITION BECAUSE IT WILL NOT COME OUT

NHTSA ODI 11362447

WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, THE KEY WILL NOT ROTATE TO THE LOCK POSITION, AND CAR ONLY HAS 24,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER MOVING THE GEAR SELECTOR MANY TIMES FROM DRIVE TO PARK THE KEY FINALLY ROTATES TO THE LOCKED POSITION TO ALLOW REMOVAL OF THE KEY. DURING THIS SUMMER THE ISSUE HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AND WORSE, TO THE POINT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANYWHERE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED WHEN YOU ENTER THE VEHICLE AND JUST ROTATE THE KEY TO RUN POSITION, IT WILL LOCK UP AS WELL, NOT ALLOWING THE KEY TO ROTATE BACK INTO THE LOCK POSITION. THEN HAVE TO CYCLE THE SHIFTER FOR THE TRANNY FROM PARK TO DRIVE MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET IT TO ROTATE IN TO THE LOCK POSITINO FOR I CAN REMOVE THE KEY..

KEY KEEPS GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN I TRY TO TURN MY CAR OFF.. I HAVE TO KEEP STARTING AND RESTARTING MY CAR AND SWIVEL STEERING WHEEL UNTIL IT COMES OUT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR'S ELECTRONICS SHUT OFF. THE SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, TURN SIGNALS, HUD UNIT, AND RADIO STOPPED WORKING BUT THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND COULD BE DRIVEN NORMALLY (RESPONDED TO GAS, STEERING WAS FINE ETC). I COULD NOT PUT THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW UP BUT ALL OF THE OTHER WINDOWS OPENED AND CLOSED. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WOULD NOT WORK. AFTER PARKING AND RESTARTING A FEW TIMES THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY BUT EVENTUALLY CAME BACK AND HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK THIS OUT. THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS DISPLAY ON THE DISPLAY: SERVICE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM SERVICE AIRBAG SERVICE PARKING ASSISTANT SERVICE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM OPEN, THEN CLOSE PASSENGER WINDOW *TR

WHEN IN PARK THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. *TR

SEVERAL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FAIL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE TURN SIGNALS STOP WORKING, THE RADIO SHUTS OFF, THE HEADS UP DISPLAY TURNS OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER TURNS OFF AND THE TACHOMETER STOPS WORKING. THE CAR STILL RUNS AND RESPONDS TO THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS AND THE STEERING CONTINUES TO WORK. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND VERY CONFUSING AND SCARY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THE RADIO STOPS AND THEN TURNS BACK ON. AFTER LOOKING THIS UP ON LINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE THAT GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS AND RECALL THE COMPONENTS CAUSING THE ISSUE.

TURN SIGNAL STOP WORKING, ALONG WITH RADIO SHUTTING OFF AND ON ERRATICALLY , LOUD POPPING NOISES OVER SPEAKER WHEN USING TURN SIGNALS , RADIO CONES ON AND OFF WHEN APPLYING BRAKES

WHILE TRAVELING, THE RADIO SUDDENLY MADE A LOUD POP NOISE AND THE INFORMATION PANEL WENT OUT...INFORMATION PANEL BEGAN FLICKERING ON AND OFF, ALSO AFFECTING THE AC/HEAT CONTROLS AND WHEN USING THE BLINKER, IT WOULDN'T MAKE A SIGNAL SOUND. THE LACK OF BLINKER SOUND LEADS ME TO WONDER IF THE BLINKERS EVEN WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS PROBLEM RANDOMLY HAPPENS AND WHEN IT DOES, IT'S VERY DISTRACTING AND THE LOUD POP NOISE IS EXTREMELY UPSETTING. I HAVE FOUND ON NUMEROUS FORUMS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE CHEVY CAMARO AND GM DOESN'T SEEM CONCERNED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT FIRST HAPPENED TO MY CAR ON DEC. 5, 2019 AND HAS CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY HAPPEN SINCE.

NHTSA ODI 11288817

I HAVE STOCK EVERYTHING ON MY CAMARO. THE RADIO, TURN SIGNALS, AND A/C GLITCH OUT ALL OF THE TIME. MY RADIO WILL RANDOMLY GLITCH OUT SOMETIMES WITH A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE SPEAKERS AND SOMETIMES QUIET. I NO LONGER HAVE CONTROL OF WHAT STATION TO LISTEN TO OR THE VOLUME. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES AND OTHER TIMES EVERY 10 SECONDS. IF THE REAR DEFROST IS ON, THE RADIO HAS NO SOUND UNTIL I TURN THE REAR DEFROST OFF. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES, TURN ON MY HIGH/LOW BEAMS, OR USE MY TURN SIGNAL, THE RADIO GLITCHES. IT ALSO GLITCHES WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING IN THE CAR WHAT SO EVER. ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN I USE MY TURN SIGNALS, IT MAKE MY SPEAKER SOUND LIKE THEY ARE BLOWN WITH A LOUD SOUND THAT DOES NOT STOP UNTIL I SHUT THE CAR OFF, REMOVE THE KEY, AND OPEN THE DOOR. SOMETIMES THE SOUND KEEPS GOING EVEN AFTER THAT. THE TURN SIGNAL CLICK SOUND DOESN'T ADD UP TO THE LIGHT FLASHING ANYMORE. SOMETIMES THE AIR OR HEAT WILL NOT TURN ON AND THE LIGHTS TO THAT SYSTEM FLASH REPEATEDLY/QUICKLY ON AND OFF EVERY TIME THE CAR GLITCHES, DOOR OPENS OR CLOSES, OR CAR GETS LOCKED/UNLOCKED. THE IGNITION ALSO TRIES TO KEEP MY KEY, AND MY CAR WILL NOT TURN COMPLETELY OFF UNTIL I CAN GET MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION. I HAVE BEEN STUCK TRYING TO GET MY KEY OUT FOR A FEW MINUTES. THIS IS AFTER THE IGNITION RECALL WHICH DID NOT HELP IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE. THE CLOCK HAS TROUBLE KEEPING TIME BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH IT GLITCHES OUT, AND I HAVE ALSO NOTICED MY HEAD LIGHTS DIM WHEN IT DOES. THESE PROBLEMS ARE ONLY GETTING WORSE! IT STARTED IN DECEMBER 2018 WITH JUST THE TURN SIGNAL MAKING MY SPEAKERS SOUND BLOWN AND OVER A MATTER OF A COUPLE OF MONTHS IT HAS GOTTEN THIS BAD. I'M WORRIED TO SEE WHAT ELSE HAPPENS. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!

NHTSA ODI 11258478

THE STEREO AND THE A/C AND THE CONSOLE LIGHTS TURN ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, THERE IS A LOUD POPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE SPEAKERS EVERY TIME IT CUTS OFF. MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE WEB.

NHTSA ODI 11255188

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD ERRONEOUSLY ACTIVATE AND RANDOMLY BLINK ON AND OFF. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE RADIO WOULD ALSO BLINK OFF AND ON AND A LOUD POPPING NOISE WOULD OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOM BELL CHEVROLET (800 ALABAMA ST, REDLANDS, CA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIO UNIT WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

NHTSA ODI 11244231

RADIO WOULD SHUT OFF RANDOMLY, SOMETIMES WOULDN'T EVEN TURN ON. MY AC DOES THE SAME THING. SOMETINES IT WORKS, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T.

NHTSA ODI 11234089

THE RADIO IS MAKING A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND BLACK OUT THE AIR GOES OUT WITH IT IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING HIT THE CAR AND THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE LIGHTS FLICKER ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL PANEL.

NHTSA ODI 11229208

RADIO SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY DURING DRIVING CITY STREETS AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BLOWERS WILL SOMETIMES SHUT OFF WHEN THE RADIO TURNS OFF. DASH LIGHTS ALSO FLICKER 5-10 TIMES WHEN RADIO SHUTS OFF AND AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF. WHEN PULLING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, SPEAKERS POP LOUDLY. EXTREMELY DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS. NO ISSUE WITH BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR. GM SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE, HOWEVER THERE ARE MULTIPLE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE AND FORUMS ONLINE OF THIS ISSUE. APPARENTLY THERE'S A POSSIBLE SOLUTION BY CUTTING THE 18TH WIRE, FURTHEST WHITE WIRE TO THE LEFT BEHIND THE STEREO FACE PLATE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

NHTSA ODI 11217350

CENTER CONSOLE LIGHTS STARTED TURNING OFF AND ON AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME 2018, ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD POPPING SOUND FROM SPEAKERS. THEN THE RADIO STARTED TURNING OFF AND ON CONSTANTLY ACCOMPANIED BY THE SAME LOUD POPPING SOUND. BLINKERS SOMETIMES TRIGGER RADIO PROBLEM AND THEY DO NOT ALWAYS WORK PROPERLY. RADIO CONSOLE FINALLY BLEW OUT PERMANENTLY IN JAN 2019, UNABLE TO LISTEN TO MUSIC, AND AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. CONTACTED BOTH GM AND CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN PAWLEY'S ISLAND; TOLD ME NO RECALLS, WOULD HAVE TO BRING IN FOR ANALYSIS; HOWEVER INDICATED THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND $1,000. HOW WOULD THEY KNOW THE COST UNLESS THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM? I ALSO HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE.
