MY CONVERTIBLE TOP ON MY 2014 CHEVY CAMARO LEAKED WATER IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. GM SAID THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR PANEL SPLASH GUARD GLUE CAME OFF AND THE PASSENGER SIDE GROMMET WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY. THE SERVICE ASSISTANT SAID THIS "HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WITH THE CAMARO CONVERTIBLES". I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO CONSIDER A RECALL FOR THESE ISSUES AND WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THE NUMBER OF REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS THAT THE NHTSA HAS RECEIVED WITH REGARDS TO THE SAME BODY STYLE OF CHEVY CAMARO CONVERTIBLES. ALSO GM REFUSED TO INSPECT FOR MOLD AND NEVER CLEANED OR REPLACED THE CARPET FOLLOWING THE NONCONFORMING CONDITION. I BELIEVE THIS PRESENT A SUBSTANTIAL DANGER TO MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND ANYONE ELSE WHO RIDES IN THE VEHICLE. I LIVE IN ALABAMA WHERE MOLD GROWS PROFUSELY, WHICH ONLY SERVES TO AMPLIFY THE DANGER.

MY CAR WAS PART OF THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL IN 2014. FOR THE PAST WEEK, WHENEVER I PARK THE CAR I CAN NOT GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT THE PROBLEM IS BEING CAUSED BY THE SHIFTER NOT COMMUNICATING TO THE CAR THAT IT'S IN "PARK" SO IT WON'T RELEASE THE KEY. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT SINCE MY CAR HAS 55,000 MILES, THE REPAIR WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT'S ELECTRICAL AND CONSIDERED PART OF THE "TRIM". THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE IN EXCESS OF $600.00. I AM EXTREMELY UNHAPPY BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD THIS REPAIR AND THIS IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. THE CAR IS PRETTY MUCH UN-DRIVABLE AT THIS POINT UNLESS I WANT TO GET STUCK SOMEWHERE.

CAR IGNITION KEEPS HANGING UP AND WILL NOT RELEASE KEY UPON SHUT OFF. TRAVELING BETWEEN STATES, A BURNING SMELL BEGAN TO COME THROUGH THE VENTS, THE CAR SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING TRAVELING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, REMAINING LIT AND APPEARING FULLY FUNCTIONING. IT STRUCK ME AS VERY FAMILIAR TO THE IGNITION ISSUE I HAVE HAD FOR THE WAY THE CAR SHUT OFF AND BEGAN TO ACT. UPON STOP AND ACTUALLY SWITCHING OFF, CAR WOULD TRY TO CRANK, BUT DID NOT CATCH. AFTER TOWING TO DEALERSHIP, CAR CRANKED AND DROVE AS USUAL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATED LOW FUEL PRESSURE, AFTER DIAGNOSTICS FOR THE THIRD TIME THE DEALERSHIP IS STILL INSISTING NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR. KEY RING HAS A TOTAL OF 3 KEYS AND LIGHTWEIGHT, DEFINITELY NOT WEIGHING DOWN THE IGNITION. THIS IS DEFINITELY COMPUTER RELATED, ELECTRICAL AND AFFECTING THE MECHANICAL ABILITY OF THE CAR AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER. I SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONLINE, NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN FOUND AND CHEVROLET IS NOT CORRECTING THIS DESPITE NUMEROUS CAR FIRES REPORTED AND ACCIDENTS PROBABLY CAUSED.

1ST PROBLEM, THE LEFT SPEAKER STARTED A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE WHILE THE RADIO WAS STILL PLAYING. I HAD TO STOP THE CAR AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE TO STOP THE NOISE. 2ND PROBLEM, WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE RADIO SHUTS OFF. I CAN'T GET LOCAL STATIONS. ONLY SIRRUS STATION. NOW WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TOO HARD THE RADIO SHUTS OFF THEN COMES BACK ON. NOW WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAYS, THE DASH BOARD LIGHTSTURNS OFF BY THEM SELVES MOMENTARILY THEN TURNS BACK ON. ALSO BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS, I TURN THE RADIO OFF... AND WHILE DRIVING THE RADIO TURNS ON BY ITSELF. DRIVER-SIDE BACK -UP LIGHT WAS REPLACED VISIBILITY /WIPER NEEDS REPLACING WIPER FLUID SQUIRT DOSEN'T WORK EFFECTIVELY .. MAYBE NOZZLE IS CLOGGED D

MY 2014 CHEVY CAMARO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY DO, ON THE CAMARO FORUM. A BAD HEATER CORE THAT FOGS THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD WITH A SMELL OF ANTIFREEZE FROM THE CARPET, VENTS AND WINDSHIELD. AS YOU DRIVE & TURN ON HEAT OR DEFROST, YOU PUT YOURSELF IN DANGER OF BEING ABLE TO EVEN SEE.WITHOUT ANY WARNING. VERY UNSAFE.

MY CHEVY CAMARO HAS A SAFETY RECALL ON THE KEY FOB IGNITION SYSTEM. THE KEY WAS FOUND FAULTY AND WOULD TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. CHEVY'S SOLUTION WAS TO REMOVE THE SWITCHBLADE KEY FOB AND GIVE ME AN ORDINARY KEY. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE PADDLE SHIFTER ON THE STEERING WHEEL STILL COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE KEY WHILE TURNING, THEREFORE TURNING OFF THE IGNITION. WHILE TURNING OFF THE KEY, IT ALSO BREAKS THE KEY IN HALF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BE 3 TIMES NOW WHILE DRIVING. 2 OF THE TIMES ALMOST RESULTING IN COLLISION. I AM HONESTLY SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR.

THE STEERING WHEEL HAS MANUAL DRIVE SHIFT LEVERS ON BOTH SIDES. WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN SOMETIMES THE LEVER GETS CAUGHT ON KEYS CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE A HARD RIGHT TURN RESULTING IN MOMENTARY LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. I HAVE ALMOST DRIVEN INTO DITCHES OR OTHER OBJECTS DUE TO THIS DEFECT. ALSO, THE SHIFTER IS NOT ENGAGING PROPERLY CAUSING THE KEY TO BE GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF. IN ORDER TO GET THE KEY TO RELEASE I HAVE TO RESTART THE ENGINE, REVERSE AND PUT THE SHIFTER BACK IN THE PARK POSITION. THEN I MUST ENGAGE THE FLOOR BRAKE AND RELEASE IT UNTIL A CLICKING NOISE IS HEARD INSIDE THE SHIFTER. THE KEY WILL THEN RELEASE. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED IN OTHER MODELS OF GM VEHICLES AND PART OF A RECALL HOWEVER MY MODEL HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.

DRIVING AROUND EXIT 110 HEADING EAST ON I-94, ME AND MY WIFE WERE NEARLY RUN DOWN BY A CROSSET TRUCK DRIVER BY THE FRONT OF HIS TRUCK. BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE TRAILER WAS STILL IN THE RIGHT LANE AND THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK RAPIDLY SWERNED INTO THE LEFT LANE, I WOULD CONSIDER THE IDEA THAT HE DOZED OFF. MY WIFE SWERVED OVER AND NEARLY HIT THE RAILS ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID A TRAGEDY. AND ONCE WE CALMED DOWN, WE SLOWED WAY BACK AND PULLED OVER TO LET THE TRUCKER CATCH UP TO US. WHEN HE DID I TOOK PICTURES FROM MY PASSENGER SEAT SO THAT WE COULD IDENTIFY THE TRUCK. WHEN WE REACHED THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AT THE DRIVERS DOOR WITH ALL OF THE NECESSARY NUMBERS, THE DRIVER STOPPED LOOKING AT THE ROAD AND TURNED TO TAKE A PICTURE OF US. I AM UNSURE WHY, BUT THAT IS CLEARLY ILLEGAL TO USE YOUR PHONE OR TO FALL ASLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL. I CALLED THE COMPANY AND WAS TOLD HE IS A PROFESSIONAL SO THERE WAS NO REASON TO PULL HIM OFF THE ROAD. USDOT # 551244, BUT I HAVE PICTURES OF THE TRUCK NUMBER AND ALL ADDITIONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS.
