WHEN TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE WITH AUTOMATIC SHIFTER IN PARK THE IGNITION KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITIION SWITCH. I THEN HAVE TO KEEP RESTARTING AND SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE AND MOVE THE SHIFTER IN AND OUT OF PARK MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THE KEY TO RELEASE. THERE APPEARS TO BE A SENSOR ISSUE WITH THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTING MECHNISM AND THE IGNITION SWITCH. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH MY 2014 V-6 AND 2015 V-8 CAMAROS. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND CHEVROLET SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL.

MY STEERING WHEEL MAKES A SQUEAKY NOISE WHENEVER I MAKE A TURN. IT STARTED OUT ONLY MAKING THE SOUND SPORADICALLY. IT IS NOW MAKING THE NOISE LOUDER AND EVERY TIME I MAKE A TURN WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL WHILE PARKED (I TESTED THIS TO SEE IF IT WOULD MAKE THE SOUND ALL THE TIME). THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE APRIL 2018. AS OF THE PAST TWO DAYS, MY KEY NOW GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN I CUT THE CAR OFF. THE KEY WILL NOT TURN ALL THE WAY SO THAT I CAN TAKE IT OUT.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET APPROACHING AND INTERSECTION WITH A GREEN LIGHT AND MADE A MOVING RIGHT HAD TURN ONTO THE PERPENDICULAR STREET. AS I PROCEEDED THROUGH THE TURN AND STARTED TO ALLOW MY STEERING WHEE RETURN TO CENTER IN WHICH THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVING IN A COUNTERCLOCKWISE DIRECTION, THE "PADDLE SHIFTER" LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL CAUGHT IN THE CAVITY / VOID IN THE KEY FOB / REMOTE ENTRY FOB AND PREVENTED THE STEERING WHEEL FROM RETURNING TO CENTER. I HAD A CAR ON MY REAR WHILE MAKING THE TURN SO I COULDN'T JUST STOP, THE CAR WAS NOW HEADED TO THE RIGHT CURB AND A CONCRETE RAILROAD BRIDGE WALL. I PULLED ON THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO TRY TO CENTER THE WHEEL AND STRAIGHTEN THE CAR BUT THE WHEEL WASN'T MOVING TO THE LEFT. I GAVE A VERY HARD PULL TO THE LEFT AND HEARD MY KEYS GO FLYING ACROSS THE CAR AND THE WHEEL WAS NOW FREE AND I REGAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR. AFTER I HAD CONTROL OF THE CAR AGAIN I NOTICED THAT THE KEY HAD BROKEN FROM THE EXCESSIVE FORCE I APPLIED TO FREE THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN A FEW SECONDS IN MOVING MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. AS SOON AS I WAS ABLE I PULLED OVER TO ACCESS WHAT HAPPENED. I CONCLUDED THAT NOTING WAS WRONG WITH THE STEERING LINKAGE OR POWER STEERING SYSTEM, BUT RATHER THE REMOTE ACCESS KEY FOB HAD CAUGHT ON THE PADDLE SHIFTER AND LOCKED UP THE STEERING WHEEL FROM RETURNING TO CENTER WHILE MAKING THE RIGHT TURN. TYPICALLY MY TEENAGE SON DRIVES THIS CAR. I DISCUSSED THIS WHIT HIM AND HE HAD ALSO HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE PADDLE SHIFTER GETTING CAUGHT INT HE REMOTE ACCESS KEY FOB, BUT NOT IN MOVING MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I REPORTED THIS TO GM CASE # 8-4304277679, BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT GOING TO INVESTIGATE IT AND WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS OR A A SIMILAR PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. PLEASE ADVISE. SEE PICS. *DT

ISN'T THERE A WARRANTY THAT COVERS 6 YEARS ON WHATEVER HAPPENS TO THE VEHICLE? I GUESS THAT'S NOT THERE POLICY 'ED DENAS, I'VE BEEN ASKING OTHER DEALERS, AND THEY ALL TOLD ME CAMAROS HAVE A 6 YEAR WARRANTY NO MATTER WHAT, WHY IS THIS SPECIFIC DEALER NOT STICKING TO THERE WORD? THEY HAVEN'T BEEN THE BEST SINCE THE BEGINNING, I CAN'T KEEP PAYING FOR INSPECTIONS WHEN THEY SAID EVERYTHING IS COVERED FOR UP TO 6 YEARS!.

KEY WOULD GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION UPON PUTTING VEHICLE INTO PARK. THERE WAS AN INTERIOR FAILURE IN THE FLOOR SHIFTER CONTROL ASSEMBLY. THE CAR WOULD BE IN STATIONARY WHEN I WOULD ARRIVE AT WORK, HOME, OR SHOPPING AND THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO PARK AND THE KEY IS CYCLED BACK TO THE OFF POSITION, THE KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH ON THE STEERING COLUMN. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE 2015 CAMARO DID NOT HAVE ANY SUCH ISSUES REPORTED AND NO RECALL WAS INDICATED. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE TO BE RELATED TO A FAULTY SENSOR OR SWITCH CONNECTION AT THE TRANSMISSION, RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE COMPUTER OR IGNITION SWITCH NOT REGISTERING THAT THE VEHICLE IS ACTUALLY IN PARK. I TURNED THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION (WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR) AND CYCLED THE GEAR SHIFT BACK AND FORTH A COUPLE OF TIMES AND SWITCHED THE KEY BACK TO THE OFF POSITION AND THE KEY WAS RELEASED. THIS IS HAPPENING EVERY DAY! FRUSTRATING TO SAY THE LEAST. IF I CAN'T GET THE KEY OUT, I CAN'T LOCK THE VEHICLE WHICH WOULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN MY PROPERTY OR THE VEHICLE ITSELF BEING STOLEN. THIS PROBLEM APPLIES WHILE PARKED ON A DRY LEVEL SURFACE AND A SLOPED DRY SURFACE.

THE INNER PART OF MY REAR PASSENGER RIM EXPLODED AND WENT THROUGH THE BACK TIRE AND WAS PROTRUDING OUT THE BACK END OF THE TIRE. CHEVY DEALERSHIP TRIED TO SAY I RAN OVER SOMETHING BUT THE TRAJECTORY OF THE IMPACTED RIM WOULD HAVE MADE THAT TYPE OF IMPACT IMPOSSIBLE. NOT TO MENTION THERE WAS NO DEBRIS IN ROAD AND I WAS IN A LONG LINE OF MORNING TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT. I CONTACTED GM OWNER CENTER TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION AND WAS TOLD A SENIOR ADVISOR WOULD CONTACT ME IN 48HRS. THAT WAS 4 DAYS AGO DESPITE ME CALLING AND LEAVING 3 MESSAGES REQUESTING A RETURN CALL.
