WHEN DRIVING ON A SIDE ROAD THE VEHICLE WAS GOING ABOUT 35-38 MPH STRAIGHT WHEN A VEHICLE FAILED TO YIELD FROM STOP SIGN ON RIGHT HAND SIDE ROAD. HE MADE A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ME GOING FAST DUE TO A VEHICLE BLOCKING HIS SIGHT OF VIEW. I PRECEDED TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO AVOID A T-BONE COLLISION. THE CAR CAME TO A STOP MY KNEE HIT THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE VEHICLE CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET LIGHTS AND ALL. I THEN HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK IN ORDER TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN.

RADIO/AC CONTROLS INTERMITTENTLY TURN ON AND OFF. THIS OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS BOTH STATIONARY AND MOVING. NOTICED FIRST OCCURRENCE ON 12/22/2018, AS I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. HAS CONTINUED WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE FIRST OCCURRENCE.

THE CAR IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 25K MI ON IT, THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM, SUCH AS NHTSA COMPLAINTS, YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND FORUMS IN WHICH PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME EXACT COMPLAINT, AMONG MULTIPLE YEARS AND MODELS OF CHEVROLET CAMARO'S. THE RADIO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THE ISSUE AFFECTS MULTIPLE THINGS INCLUDING SAFETY. HOWEVER AT THIS POINT WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS GM HAS NOT PERFORMED A RECALL AND IS STATING THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS UNDER A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DESIGN FLAW. THE SAFETY CONCERNS ARE THAT THE RADIO WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF, COME ON AND OFF DISABLING THE ABILITY TO CONTROL IT, WHILE MAKING VERY LOUD CRACKLING AND POPPING SOUNDS AT EXCESSIVE VOLUME, FLASHES ON AND OFF MAKING NIGHT DRIVING A HAZARD. WHILE THIS ISSUE HAPPENS IT ALSO DISABLES THE NAVIGATION, THE ONSTAR, THE HEAT/AC FAN CONTROLS AS WELL AS VOLUME CONTROLS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF FOLKS WITH THIS PROBLEM. AND AS SUCH, I HAVE ALSO RECORDED THE ISSUE WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING AND READ A MYRIAD OF REVIEWS, COMPLAINTS AND WATCHED VIDEOS. I BELIEVE THAT GM AND CHEVROLET NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. MY CAR IS EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE FOR ITS AGE. WHEN THE COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HEARS FROM CONSUMERS AND YET DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT, IS LUDICROUS. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE PERFORMING A RECALL AS THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW IN WHICH CAN COST UP TO AT LEAST 1000K TO GET REPAIRED.

ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE CAUSING RADIO MALFUNCTIONS AND HEAT/AIR MALFUNCTIONS. AT TIMES MY RADIO CLOCK AND DATE IS OFF. THESE EVENTS HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR IS STATIONED. THE ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE STARTED TWO YEARS AFTER WE PURCHASED THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION. ENGINE TURNS OFF, BUT KEY WON'T COME OUT OF IGNITION. HAPPENS OFTEN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T GET IT TO REPLICATE. I'VE NOTICE IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN ON A SLIGHT INCLINE, BUT ALSO OCCURS ON A FLAT SURFACE, LIKE IN MY GARAGE. REMEDY I'VE BEEN TOLD BY DEALER IS THE TAKE THE CAR BACK OUT OF PARK AND SLAM IT BACK INTO PARK. IT DOES WORK, SOMETIMES AFTER A THREE TRIES. JUST SEEMS LIKE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ABUSE THE SHIFTER TO RELEASE THE KEY.

RADIO PLAYS THEN MAKES A LOUD POP. ALSO BLINKS REPEATEDLY. USING BLINKERS OR BRAKES AT TIMES WILL CAUSE RADIO TO POP LOUDLY THEN GO OFF COMPLETELY. RADIO WILL NOT COME BACK ON UNLESS YOU STOP AND TURN OFF IGNITION AND RESTART. RADIO MAY WORK FOR 30 SECONDS OR 30 MINUTES. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU USEBLINKER THE SOUND WILL COME THROUGH THE RADIO LOUDLY AND WILL NOT STOP UNLESS YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. I CANNOT TURN RADIO OFF WHEN ANY OF THIS IS HAPPENING. ON VARIOUS FORUMS I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FROM MANY USERS OF THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEIR CAMEROS. THERE ARE YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING SUPPOSED FIXES SO THIS PROBLEM HAS AFFECTED MANY. A RADIO SHOULD LAST. I'VE SEEN REPORTS OF REPLACING RADIO WITH FACTORY PARTS AND IT HAPPEN I G AGAIN. I SAY THIS IS ELECTRICAL BECAUSE RADIO ACTING UP IS AFFECTING OTHER PARTS OF THE CAR, BLINKERS, BRAKES ETC. THIS ALL WILL HAPPEN IF CAR IS BEING DRIVEN OR STILL. IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I USE MY CAR. THIS STARTED AROUND JUNE 2018

WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF 3 TIMES IN THE SAME DAY WHEN SWITCHING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. I WAS FORCED TO CYCLE THE IGNITION , PUT THE CAR IN PARK , AND RES-START THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS SCARED OUT OF MY MIND BECAUSE I THOUGH THE KEYFOB RECALL WAS TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. THIS WASNT THE CASE AND MY 2014 CHEVROLET CAMARO AUTOMATIC 6CY SHUT OFF 3 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE SAME DAY WHEN ACCELERATING.

PROBLEMS SEEM TO BE WITH 2013 AND 2014 CAMAROS. THE RADIO SYSTEM SHORTS AFTER 20000 MILES. MULTIPLE CONSUMERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS SYSTEM AS IT IS A 2000 DOLLAR OR MORE REPAIR WITH THE DEALERSHIPS

THIS PROBLEM I AM HAVING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, DURING WINTERS THE HEATER WONT TURN ON, THE ONLY WAY TO START IT IS PUT THE BLOWER ON WINDSCREEN AND TURN UP THE BLOWER TO MAX THAN IT WILL START. I COMPLAINED IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY DIDNT FIND ANYTHING, I MADE A VIDEO JUST FOR RECORD TOO. ALSO IT MAKES TICK TICK SOUND SPECIALLY IN MORNING WHEN YOU PRESS BRAKES.

WHEN I SHIFT FROM DRIVE OR ANY OTHER POSITION AT LEAST 50% OF THE TIME WHEN I SHIFT TO PARK I AM NOT ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE STEARING WHEEL COLUMN LOCK. MOST OF THE TIME IF I TURN THE KEY TO ON TAKE THE SHIFFER OUT OF PARK AN PUT IT BACK IN PARK IT MAY ALLOW ME TO REMOVE THE KEY. THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT. SO FAR WHEN I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT IT HAS BEEN AT HOME. MY BIG CONCERN IS THAT I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT WHEN I AM AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. VERY EASY TO STEAL A CAR WITH A KEY IN THE LOCK. THE CAR IS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

NHTSA ODI 11074656

WHILE OPERATING THE STEREO IT MAKES A POPPING SOUND AND TURNS OFF AND BACK ON. WHEN IT COMES BACK ON THERE IS NO SOUND COMING THROUGH THE SPEAKERS BUT THE HEAD UNIT IS STILL ON. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON RESTORES THE SOUND BUT IT JUST GOES BACK OUT. I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND ALL THE DEALERSHIPS SAY IF TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEAD UNIT.

AT TIMES A/C WON'T TURN ON WHICH HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS, AND NOW RADIO MALFUNCTIONS NOT ALLOWING FOR A/C OR RADIO FUNCTIONS. SIGNAL LIGHTS MAKES STRANGE SOUND WHEN IN USE. POWER GOES OUT IN THAT ENTIRE SYSTEM MAKING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM RESET ITSELF TO MANUFACTURER SETTINGS. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE AUTO IS PARKED OR WHILE DRIVING.

KEY RECALL- SINCE THE KEY RECALL HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO THE LAST WEEK WE HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR JUST DYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT LOSES ALL POWER AND SHUTS ITSELF OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED ONSTAR AND HAD THEM DO A DIAGNOSIS AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. IT ALMOST COMPLETELY DIED IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY. THANK GOODNESS THAT I WAS NOT ON A BUSY STREET WHEN IT DID DIE COMPLETELY. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING, AND ALL IT WOULD DO IS COAST. I DID HAVE THE KEY RECALL DONE ON MY CAR AND APPARENTLY IT IS MORE THAN JUST THE KEY THAT IS THE ISSUE. THIS MAKES ME SCARED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE ON A FREEWAY. I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL DIE AND HOPEFULLY NOT CAUSE A HUGE ACCIDENT.

NHTSA ODI 11016176

TAKATA RECALL- SEVERAL ISSUES CANT GET KEY OUT OF IGNITION WHEN PUT IN PARK, RADIO SCREEN LOCKS UP AND GOES BLANK WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY, HEATER GOT EXTREMELY HOT AND FROZE SO IT COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF WHILE TRAVELING ON HI WAY WITH NO WHERE TO PULL OFF. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES BUT ALWAYS SEEMED TO WORK FOR THEM. ASKED FOR THEM TO DOCUMENT SINCE I WAS GETTING CLOSE TO WARRANTY EXPIRING. ALSO HEAR A CLUNK EACH TIME I USE BRAKE. BACKFIRED AND LOSS POWER WHEN TRYING TO PASS A CAR ON FREEWAY. PASSENGER SEAT TWO WAY MOTOR HAD SHORT OR DEFECT WOULD CAUSE SEAT TO GET STUCK IN HIGH POSITION AT VARIOUS TIMES AND HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING WITH SEAT TOUCHING ROOF, NOT SURE IF SMALLER PERSON WOULD BE SAFE IF AIRBAGS GO OFF IN THIS POSITION. ALSO KEY CAME OUT WHILE SOMEONE ELSE WAS USING CAR.SINCE ALL THESE THINGS HAPPEN FAIRLY SOON AFTER PURCHASE I THOUGHT MAYBE I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY USE THE CARS OPTIONS OR CONTROLS. WHEN TAKING TO DEALERSHIP IT WOULD BE FINE AND THEY ALWAYS SAID IT HAS TO DO IT FOR US TO OR THEY CANT FIX IT. THAT'S WHY I ASKED FOR THEM TO DOCUMENT. MY CAR IS NOW AT 36,600 AND DOING SOME OF THE THINGS AGAIN.WHEN CALLING DEALER THEY ONLY HAD SOME OF MY COMPLAINTS DOCUMENTED.
