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.

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.

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN WAITING FOR A BREAK TO ENTER THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC . TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND NOT MOVING FOR A SECOND OR MORE AND A VEHICLE THAT HAD STOPPED MOTIONED FOR ME TO ENTER THE ROAD IN FRONT OF HIM , A RIGHT TURN, AND AT THAT MOMENT I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR AND REALIZED WITH NO NOTICE THAT THE CAMARO ENGINE WAS NO LONGER RUNNING, AND I WAIVED THE COURTEOUS DRIVER ON. WHEN I LOOKED CLOSELY AT THE IGNITION WITH THE SWITCHBLADE SWINGING ON THE KEY WRING AND REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED I BROKE OUT IN A COLD SWEAT! THE IGNITION HAS THE EQUIVALENT OF A HAIR TRIGGER. IF I HAD ENTERED TRAFFIC WITH THE POWER THIS VEHICLE DELIVERS WITH THE SWITCHBLADE SWINGING TO THE RIGHT THE CAMARO WOULD HAVE CUT OFF LEAVING ME AND ANYONE NEAR ME IN POSSIBLE DANGER.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2014 CHEVY CAMARO AND WHEN THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HWY,SITTING STILL OR ON A CITY STREETS. THE CHEVY CAMARO RADIO WILL TURN IT'S SELF OFF. SOMETIMES THEIR IS A LOUD THUMP NOISE BEFORE THE RADIO TURNS OFF AND OTHER TIMES NO THUMP. IT WILL SOMETIMES COME BACK ON AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, OR IT MIGHT STAY OFF. THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM, BECAUSE I HAVE READ OTHER POSTING CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2014 CAMARO. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR A WEEK AND THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LESS 6 TIMES. NOT HAPPY ABOUT PURCHASING THIS CAR NOW, IF THIS IS HOW IT'S GOING TO BE. I'M ONLY 23 YEAR OLD AND I CANT AFFORD TO HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP.

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.

FOR THE PAST YEAR I HAVE TROUBLE TAKING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN I PARK. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR ON NEUTRAL OR DRIVE THEN BACK ON PARK SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE KEY TO COME OUT. THE BODY DEVELOPED SOME DENTS ON BOTH SIDES WHICH LOOK LIKE IF I WAS IN A HAIL STORM, PAID A FEW THOUSAND TO GET THE BODY REPAIRED AND THE DENTS RETURNED. HAVE THAT PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE AUTO IN 2014

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

THE IGNITION KEY WILL GET STUCK AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND CAN TAKE UP TO FIVE MINUTES OF CYCLING THE KEY ON/OFF. THE CAR HAS 33,000 MILES. THE DEALER SUSPECTS THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH WHICH PROHIBITS THE RELEASE OF THE KEY UNTIL IT'S IN PARK.

NHTSA ODI 11015977

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.

I OWN A CHEVROLET, CAMARO 2014. THIS CAR HAS A DEFECT WITH THE STEERING KEY IGNITION. THE KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS IS A DEFECT AS A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH WILL SHOW HOW PREVALENT THIS ISSUE AS THERE ARE FORUMS AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS WITH CONSUMERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. EVEN WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALER THERE WAS ANOTHER PATRON THERE WITH THIS CAR, COMPLAINT AND DIAGNOSIS. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE IT IS A MATERIAL DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT IS SO COMMON. PLEASE ASSIST. THIS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE THE SAME CONCERN AS AN AIRBAG BUT IT IS AN ISSUE AS IT ALLOWS THE CONSUMER TO BE VULNERABLE TRYING TO GET THEIR KEY IT OF THE IGNITION AND IN MOST CASES FAILING TO BE ABLE TO DO SO AND NEEDING TO EITHER LEAVE THE VEHICLE, HAVE IT TOWED AND POSSIBLY DEPENDING ON WHERE THIS HAPPENS BEING VULNERABLE. I WAS PARKED AT A GAS STATION AT NIGHT, ANYTHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS FIDGETING WITH THIS KEY AND UNABLE TO GET IT TO RELEASE.

NHTSA ODI 11003098

THE KEY TO MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT RELEASE. THIS ISSUE IS PLASTERED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AS A CONTINUOUS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR.IN FACT, EVEN WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALER THERE WAS ANOTHER FEMALE CUSTOMER WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND WHOSE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A SHIFTER. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. WHILE IT MAY NOT SEEM THE SAME AS AN AIRBAG, WOMEN AND ALSO MEN CAN BE PLACED IN DANGER AT NIGHT PULLING UP TO GAS STATIONS, GROCERY STORES, ATOM MACHINES LA THEIR OWN DRIVEWAYS AN UNABLE TO GET THEIR CAR OUT CAN LEAVE THEM VULNERABLE TO PREDATORS.IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT SUCH A CONSISTENT COMPLAINT WITH THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE FREQUENCY ALONE DICTATES THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE IS ROBBED, RAPED OR WORSE BY BEING DISTRACTED WITH THIS KEY, UNABLE TO RELEASE THE KEY AND MOVE TO SAFETY AT NIGHT

VEHICLE WAS HAVING A RADIO SHUT OFF ISSUE, WHERE ALL FM/AM STATIONS WERE NOT AVAILABLE, HOWEVER, SATELLITE RADIO WAS AVAILABLE. THE RADIO WOULD EMIT A "POP" SOUND AND THEN SHUT OFF (OCCURS DAILY). DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. NOW AS RECENT AS APR 30, 2017 (OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY), WHEN RADIO TURNS OFF, ENTIRE VEHICLE TURNS OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH, NO WARNING WHATSOEVER.
