What 187 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro

The seatbelt rubs my neck no matter how adjust the seat. In 2015 I was in car accident and had a severe neck injury. I had Thoracic Outlet surgery. Recently on 8-24-23 I was in a fender bender . I injured my neck again, a disk bulge is pressing against my spinal cord. Both accidents the seatbelt pressed against my neck. I was wondering if it was a factory defect.

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.

WE HAD JUST PURCHASED THE CAR THE END OF MAY 2020. WE SEEN A RECALL ON THE STEERING LOCKING UP AND THE CHEVY DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLACE IT BECAUSE THE VIN NUMBER WASN'T ON RECALL. HOW CAN A VEHICLE THAT IS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING AS THE SAME EXACT VEHICLE WITH A DIFFERENT LETTER IN THE VIN NOT BE ON RECALL FOR THE SAME EXACT DEFECT? MY HUSBAND IS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AND NOW WE ARE LEFT WITH NO VEHICLE. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE ID LIKE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPLACED DUE TO THIS RECALL THAT WAS DEFECTIVE IN MY VEHICLE. WE HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY TOLD HIM THE SAME THING ABOUT HIS VIN SO HE TRADED HIS CAMARO IN FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MY CAR REPLACED OR REPAIRED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE/RECALL. IM UPLOADING A PICTURE OF WHAT MY CAMARO LOOKS LIKE NOW.
