What 205 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Chevrolet Camaro Zl1 With Recaro

WHEN PARKING AND POWERING THE VEHICLE OFF, THE KEY REMAINS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I HAVE TO REPEATED POWER THE CAR ON AND OFF, RE-PLACING IT IN PARK FOR THE KEY TO FINALLY BE RELEASED... ALSO, THE RADIO OFTEN POWERS OFF AND ON, CAUSING MY DASHBOARD TO GO DARK. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I ALSO CANNOT HEAR THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR WHEN MAKING A TURN. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR SOME TIME NOW...FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IN THE COMPLAINTS, THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY CAMARO OWNERS. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FOR THIS?

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT SHUT ITSELF COMPLETELY OFF. THE VEHICLE QUIT DRIVING AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. THE DASH DISPLAY WENT COMPLETELY BLANK AND IT WAS AS THOUGH THE POWER HAD BEEN COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. AT TIMES THE KEY HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO REMOVE AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, BUT THIS SEEMED TO BE A DIFFERENT ISSUE. AFTER THE CAR SHUT DOWN, I PULLED OVER AND PUT THE GEAR IN PARK. I THEN REMOVED THE KEY, REINSERTED THE KEY, RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WORKED FINE. IT WAS VERY UNSAFE FOR THE CAR TO RANDOMLY JUST QUIT DRIVING/WORKING. LUCKILY I WAS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC.

MY CHEVROLET 1SS CAMARO 2015 KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN PUT IN PARK. THIS STARTED THE FIRST YEAR OWNED IT BUT DEALERSHIP WAS VERY HELPFUL THEY SHOWED ME THAT THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTER HAS TO PUSH FORWARD TO FEEL A CLICK. THAT WORKED UNTIL NOW. THE CAR WILL NOT RELEASE MY KEY QUITE FREQUENTLY NOW AND IT TAKES TURNING CAR ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT RELEASES KEY. THIS CAN TAKE SOME TIME AND BE EMBARRASSING. OWN A NICE CAR AND HAVE THAT PROBLEM REALLY MAKES YOU LOOK BAD AND CAN CAUSE ME TO HAVE TO LEAVE KEY IN CAR SOMETIMES. THIS HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS PUT IN PARK NO MATTER WHERE I AM.

I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN. THE FREEWAY EXIT HAS ABOUT A 30 DEGREE SLOPE OF INCLINE. I ACCELERATED AND THEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, I PULLED OVER AND PARKED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I THEN TURNED THE CAR ON, PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND DROVE ABOUT 10MPH. I THEN SLIGHTLY TURNED THE KEY IN THE OFF POSITION AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. I CAN REPLICATE THIS ISSUE AND TURNNG THE KEY WHILE IN DRIVE DOES NOT REQUIRE MUCH FORCE.

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL OF THE RADIO AND A/C UNITS ON THESE MODELS. WHEN DRIVING, THE RADIO AND A/C AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AND MAKES THIS LOUD POPPING SOUND THROUGH THE SPEAKERS WHETHER THE RADIO IS TURNED ON OR NOT. IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING HITTING THE CAR AND IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY VEHICLE THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING TOO BUT WHEN I LOOKED ON YOU TUBE I FOUND OTHER CAMARO OWNERS WITH THE SAME MODEL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS BUT THEY SAID WANTED TO ME TO PAY TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE WHICH MADE NO SENSE BECAUSE THEY SHOULD DO SO OUT OF CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. AFTER TELLING ME THAT WAS MY ONLY OPTION THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT TOLD ME THAT THEY DON'T EVEN DECIDE RECALLS ON THEIR VEHICLES AND THAT THEY HAVE TO BE ISSUED BY THE NHTSA

THEY STATED THAT IT WILL COST ME 200.00+ DOLLARS TO FIX.THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WILL COST THAT AMOUNT DUE TO THEM HAVING TO TAKE OUT THE WINDSHIELD AND THE DASHBOARD TO FIX IT.
