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

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.

WITH VEHICLE PLACED IN PARK IGNITION WILL NOT RELEASE KEY. VEHICLE SHIFTER HAS TO BE RETURNED TO DRIVE AND THEN BACK TO PARK TO RELEASE KEY. THIS PROCEDURE MAY NEED TO BE REPEATED SEVERAL TIME TO RELEASE KEY.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION. NOT ABLE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THE 2010-2014 CAMEROS HAD THE RECALL. THE CAR IS OUT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF. BUT THE IGNITION WILL NOT RELEASE THE KEY.

RADIO TURN OFF BY ITSELF. YOU TURN THE CAR ON AND IT CUTS OFF RANDOMLY. YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE GROUND IT COMES BACK ON AND THEN CUTS OFF.

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

I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR DAILY. I SAW ON YOUTUBE THAT SOMEONE FIXED THE PROBLEM BY DISONNECTING THE WIRE TO THE SENSOR IN THE STEERING COLUMN. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/-ASISYQIU6O

I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE HEAT ACTUATOR HAS BROKEN AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. 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. I TOLD THEM THAT I BOUGHT THAT CAR 2 YEARS AGO WITH 82 MILES ON THE DASH AND THAT I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I HAVE A 1995 CAMARO THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS OUT OF AND THAT IT WAS WHY I CHOSE ANOTHER CAMARO.

KEY STICKS AND WILL NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION, MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ARE NOTED TO BE ONLINE REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU PARK YOUR CAR AND PUT IT IN PARK, AND GO TO REMOVE THE KEY AND IT DOES NOT COME OUT. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN. I WILL PUT A DATE BELOW, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES NOT JUST ONCE.

MY CAMARO'S ACCELERATOR STOPPED FUNCTIONING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP WHILE DODGING TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE RAN, AT IDLE. I PUT IT IN PARK. I STILL COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I COULD FLOOR IT. NOTHING BUT IDLE. I TURNED OFF THE POWER AND CUT IT BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO ENGAGED THE ACCELERATOR TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY AND HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALER. THIS IS ALMOST THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE FUNCTIONAL HACK AS DEMONSTRATED IN THE WIRED MAGAZINE "JEEP HACK" VIDEO. AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING IT 9 DAYS, THE DEALER GAVE ME THE FOLLOWING INFO. U100 DATA BUS: ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) A - NO COMMUNICATION U101 DATA BUS: TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) - NO COMMUNICATION U121 DATA BUS: ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) CONTROL MODULE - NO COMMUNICATION U176 DATA BUS: SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) SENSOR G - NO COMMUNICATION I BELIEVE THIS TO BE EITHER A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT, OR A MALICIOUS HACKING ATTEMPT. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I CAN'T DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT THE FEAR OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN. WITHOUT WARNING. GM'S OFFICIAL ANSWER IS THAT THEY WILL GIVE ME AN OIL CHANGE COUPON. I DO NOT FIND THIS SATISFACTORY. I FIND IT A HUGE DANGER TO MY LIFE AND THOSE AROUND ME. I AM INSULTED THAT GM FINDS IT FUNNY. RESEARCH I HAVE DONE SHOWS THAT THEY HAVE COVERED UP STUFF LIKE THIS BEFORE. I THINK THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW. I ASKED GM FOR CONTACT INFO ON THEIR FEDERAL OVERSEER FOR THE IGNITION ISSUE. THEY REFUSED. I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE LEARNED THEIR LESSON.

ONCE THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO PARK AND I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF THE KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE KEY WILL RELEASE. SOMETIMES, I EVEN HAVE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY AND TURN IT OFF AGAIN BEFORE THE KEY WILL RELEASE.
