The radio makes a loud pop & makes me jump as it goes on & off whenever it wants to. As this happens, the dash light turns off, the heater/ac turns off, the signal lights stop flashing, & when the turn signal is activated it makes a loud static noise that flashes through the speakers. It is a safety issue because it's distracting & it's dangerous for signal lights not to work properly. The car only had 60,000 miles when this began. I've been told there are computer chips, ECM modules, a new stereo with On Star navigation & I honestly can't remember all that was tested wrong with the electrical system that is estimated at $1000 to repair. I have seen numerous complaints of the same issue on the web. I sincerely believe it is a problem Chevrolet is aware of & a recall should be made before an accident is caused.

About 80% of the time I stop, I put the car into 'park" and attempt to remove the key, it is stuck. The solenoid in the steering column will not release the key although it is in position 2. My wife just left the key stuck and it drained the battery, stranding her. I have not taken the car to the dealer but research online has shown that this is a widespread problem among Camaros and other Chevrolet vehicles between 2010-2015. Users report the Chevy is refusing to declare a recall and dealers are charging $700 to replace the gear shifter which houses the switch that activates the solenoid in the steering column.

There is a distracting pop in the radio which also affects the signal lights, the heater and air conditioner controls, and the controls for the radio itself. There are numerous complaints on the web for this same year vehicle with the same problem. It is very distracting as when the radio pops it makes a loud noise that is similar to running over something or hitting something with your vehicle. Also the tail light on the driver side won't stay on and the headlight on the passenger side has a short in it also. These problems I have been listed numerous times on the web. I have had several service mechanics look at it and they haven't been able to fix it as of yet. I recently read online. There is a short in those radios. But the radio is still is listed as at $700. I don't have this kind of money to replace it. And I'm not sure if that will fix the problem or not. I wrote to Chevrolet when it first happened about 35,000 mi ago. I got a reply that they didn't have enough complaints yet. I don't know if they ever looked on the web because at the time there were quite a few and they are still listed today. This was the year after I bought my car which would have been 2018. It's a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro LS. Please assist as this affects where I go as I am afraid that something will happen to my car since it affects so many things already. I don't want it to cause other problems as these are more than enough to affect my driving. My car had approximately 30,000, mi at the time this incident began.

The key gets stuck in the accessory position rendering the car unable to be shut off, you have to keep shifting and putting it back into park while engaging the lever very hard several times to allow the button to release the key . Doing research online, as it was getting progressively worse, I have found that many Chevy owners experience this same problem. I found videos and threads that owners discovered it is the shifter assembly not the ignition. My car is currently at the dealership while they replace the assembly, confirming it is damaged. This will cost me about 1000 dollars to fix after tax. I have 8100 miles on my car, and it's in excellent condition. I can show the invoice when It is finished being repaired

When I drive my knee turns the key, causing a the car to turn off. This is a safety issue that is concerning I am a mom. Every time my knee hits the part key while the car is on it turns the car off. The heater is an issue I have air but no heat. In order for me to fix the heater I told they would have to remove the entire window, but I would have to sign a waiver, because the window could break. Then they would have to remove the dash and another part in order to fix the heat in the car. This is in my opinion a safety issue I don’t understand how the heater could be fixed without causing the window in the car to possibly break. I was told the chances of the window not breaking in order to fix the heater in the car is nearly impossible. Which means I would have to buy a window and pay for labor in order to fix the heat in the car. 1. I have an ignition issue my knee is turning off the car when I drive. 2. Fixing the heat in the car is nearly impossible. 3. Please help check for recalls

HELLO IM REACHING OUT DUE TO A SAFETY CONCERN WITH MY 2014 CAMARO. THE VIN IN LOCATED IN THE SUBJECT LINE ABOVE. I REACHED OUT TO GM LETTING THEM KNOW THAT I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH MY STEREO. THE SPEAKERS ARE ALSO AFFECTED WHEN THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.. THE CAR WILL TURN ON AND I WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY ANYTHING THROUGH THE STEREO, LIKE THE RADIO, A CD, AN AUX CORD AND EVEN SIRIUS XM BUT RANDOMLY THE STEREO HAS A LOUD NOISE THAT SCREETCHES THROUGH THE SPEAKERS WHICH CAUSE A GREAT AMOUNT OF DISCOMFORT. THEN THE STEREO RESETS AND IS ONLY ABLE TO BE USED VIA AUX AT A LOWER VOLUME AMD EVEN WAY DIFFERENT SOUND QUALITY. ITS VERY STRANGE AND REALLY INCONVIENENT WHILE DRIVING, A FEW TIMES IT SCARED ME SO ABRUPTLY THAT I ALMOST WRECKED DUE TO AN ANXIETY ATTACK. ITS A WELL KNOW ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL FROM YEARS 2011-2015 IF YOU GOOGLE "CAMARO STEREO PROBLEMS" YOU WILL SEE A FEW DIFFERENT WEB FORUMS COMPARING ISSIES WITH THIS PARTICULAR ONE BEING BROUGHT UO MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE. GM INFORMED ME THAT THE ONLY WAY OF GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PROBLEM IS TO TAKE IT IN TO GET A DIAGNOSTICS DONE WHICH IS OUT OF MY PRICE RANGE AT THE MOMENT DUE TO COVID. BUT ANYWAYS ALL THAT SHOULD BE PUT TO THE SIDE WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO BEING A SAFETY CONCERN. THANKS IN ADVANCE. I KNOW ALOT OF PPL WOULD LOVE TO ENJOY A NORMAL DRIVE WITHOUT BEING STARTLED BY A LOUD GUITAR AMP POPPING NOISE. I MISS GOOD DRIVES WHILE LISTENING TO MUSIC WITH GOOD QUALITY.
