2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2023

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.

The driver may accidentally bump the ignition key with their knee, moving the ignition.

4 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2022

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.

5 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2022

My car radio and dash panels or not work. Also the aduio warning fails to sound when I leave keys in car and when I have seat belt off. They have recall the 2016 cars for this same problem that the 2014 has and have not issued a recall for the other years.

6 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2022

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.

16 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2021

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.

25 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/03/2020

When I turn the vehicle off, the key will not rotate to the lock position, and car only has 24,000 miles on it. After moving the gear selector many times from drive to park the key finally rotates to the locked position to allow removal of the key. During this summer the issue has been getting worse and worse, to the point I am afraid to drive the vehicle anywhere. I have also noticed when you enter the vehicle and just rotate the key to run position, it will lock up as well, not allowing the key to rotate back into the lock position. Then have to cycle the shifter for the tranny from park to drive multiple times to get it to rotate in to the lock positino for I can remove the key. .

28 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/17/2020

Several electrical components fail while driving down the road. The turn signals stop working, the radio shuts off, the heads up display turns off, the speedometer turns off and the tachometer stops working. The car still runs and responds to the gas and brake pedals and the steering continues to work. This is extremely dangerous and very confusing and scary while driving the car. The radio stops and then turns back on. After looking this up on line, this appears to be a wide spread issue that gm needs to address and recall the components causing the issue.

29 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/17/2020

While driving on the highway, my car's electronics shut off. The speedometer, tachometer, turn signals, hud unit, and radio stopped working but the car was still running and could be driven normally (responded to gas, steering was fine etc). I could not put the rear passenger window up but all of the other windows opened and closed. The convertible top would not work. After parking and restarting a few times the problem went away but eventually came back and happens all the time. I have made an appointment with the dealership to check this out. The following warnings display on the display: service theft deterrent system service airbag service parking assistant service tire monitor system open, then close passenger window.

32 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/05/2020

The radio makes very loud popping noise and all power cuts out to the display, turn signals, heating/cooling functions. This happens repeatedly every time driving the vehicle. The triggers are using the power windows, using turn signal, adjusting heat/ac, or putting the vehicle into reverse. Not only is it inconvenient to not have radio or heat/ac. It is also a safety hazard to not have turn signals and have very loud and distracting popping noises while driving. I have heard from other Camaro owners and every one of this model has the same issue around 40,000 miles.

35 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 12/05/2019

While traveling, the radio suddenly made a loud pop noise and the information panel went out. . . Information panel began flickering on and off, also affecting the ac/heat controls and when using the blinker, it wouldn't make a signal sound. The lack of blinker sound leads me to wonder if the blinkers even work when this happens. This problem randomly happens and when it does, it's very distracting and the loud pop noise is extremely upsetting. I have found on numerous forums that this seems to be a major issue with the chevy Camaro and gm doesn't seem concerned. I believe this is a major safety issue that needs to be addressed. It first happened to my car on Dec. 5, 2019 and has continued to randomly happen since.
