3 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 09/03/2024

I have purchased a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro and it has become obvious that there is an electrical issue that was not previously disclosed by the dealership. The radio and air conditioning shut off randomly while driving and it is accompanied by a loud popping sound. In addition, when pressing on the brake or using the right turn signal, the radio will also shut down completely, while the air conditioning is making a loud rumbling noise. This happens frequently and there is also a constant blinking in the lights on the front of the radio. This appears to be an electrical issue and the safety concerns are based on the premise that it can be reproduced by stepping on the brake or using the turn signal. Each of these need to be in proper working condition in order to be considered safe on the road. I am writing as after going to several shops thinking it was an issue with the radio itself, I was advised that this is a known issue with the Chevrolet Camaro. There are countless posts online with other Camaro owners complaining of the same symptoms and this defect should likely be included in a recall or repairs covered by the manufacturer. Please look into my concerns.

4 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/21/2024

Key continuously gets stuck in the ignition and will not come out until approximately 30 minutes. Safety of person and vehicle was at risk due to extreme heat condition and potential for theft. Local dealership says it is a wiring issue. After researching it is a common, persistent complaint with 2015 vehicle owners. Also, there are numerous videos in which to resolve the issue by detaching the wires from the yellow box under the steering wheel. No warning lights occurred. Would get stuck briefly prior to the 30 minute period, but would reset after putting gears in neutral or drive, then park.

6 Electrical System problem

This is a very know common within the 2015 Camaros. The ignition key always gets stuck when put in park. Many believe it is due to gearshift button getting stuck. There has been recalls on this in many states.

7 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2023

The stereo system in this car controls alot of the electrical system. For a while it would come on and off now just off. It will not alert you if you forget to fasten seat belt, or if you forget keys in ignition . Defrost has warm air on one side cold on other no matter what settings are on . This causes windshield to fog up horribly and limits vision. It does not make sound when blinkers are on are left on after turning. So you can be driving forward and not know blinker is on giving other drivers the impression you are turning. I've seen videos where drivers are removing stereo and cutting white wire which says stereo comes back on when wire is cut. But it also disables hazzard lights. Now your in the dark changing a flat and you have no hazzard lights , but your stereo works very dangerous. This has got to be some sort of wiring issue which also make me fear a potential fire hazzard.

8 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2023

On Sunday, September 10th, the key got stuck in the ignition and would not come out. The car was on and it could not turn off. The car ran for approximately an hour. I had to pull the car out of the garage so that I would not die from carbon dioxide poisoning. It was on Sunday so I could not drive over to the dealership for help. I had to go on youtube to see how to remove the key out of a 2015 Camaro that will not turn off. After watching numerous videos from random people, I saw a comment where you can remove one of the fuses for the ignition. This appears to be a problem with this model and make according to youtube and needs to be addressed due to the risk of carbon dioxide exposure or running out of gas and causing engine damage.

9 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2023

The a/c blows warm air because the air box used to control the a/c was made with a flimsy part. The part is cheap to replace, but the repair is over $4,000 because of the vehicle’s design. The a/c is controlled by an air box under the dash board but the box cannot be worked on without first removing the dash board and the dash cannot be worked on without removing the windshield. I was told that there was nothing I could have done to create or prevent the problem, it’s just not a sturdy material used. And there is nothing that can be done to prevent this from reoccurring, which would be another $4,000+. In fresno’s over 110 degree summer heat, driving around without an a/c is a health concern. Also, the vehicle won’t release the key from the ignition when it is turned off. I have to wait up to a minute for the car to release it.

10 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/08/2023

Radio keeps turning on and off by itself with a high volume so annoying and distracting. Even if I turned the volume all way down it will shut off then turn back on with high volume! also radio flashes after turning the car off.

11 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/06/2023

I have an ongoing issue with my key not coming out of the ignition when in park. Nothing appears out of the normal. Several vehicle owners appear to have the same issue and have taken this to the dealer to be advised it would cost hundreds of dollars. The key not coming out of the ignition poses a security concern because it is unclear if it is the ignition switch or actually the shifter. If the vehicle is not truly in park, will the vehicle roll and injure someone? -or- if someone is in danger, how do you quickly escape from your car without your keys? my keys are a form of protection and my house keys are attached so now an intruder will have access to my home if they know where I live. Gm has already had recalls on other vehicles for this same issue. I feel gm should cover this vehicle and year too, especially since there are so many.

17 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2022

In regards to my electrical system - issue #1 - once I place the car in park the key won't turn all the way back to come out of the ignition switch. Most often I have to take the care out of park and back or jam the car into park for it to turn all the way to get the key out. Issue #2 - while sitting at a light my car tend to shake as if it's about to cut off. On a couple of times the service stabili trak light, engine light, traction control and two other tire lights all come on and I seem to lose power when I get on the gas. By the time I get it to the shop they don't find the code that sets off these lights.

20 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 10/30/2021

The key will not come out of ignition once car is in park. In the event of an emergency, driver no longer has access to keys, driver is unable to leave car, battery drains (electric issues are already an issue that GMC will not address) and in the event driver is inexperienced at mechanics- this could lead to multifactor injuries. Issue has been reported in other make/models for years, GMC refuses to address issue. In order to bypass this issue, owners must take apart steering column, release the anti-theft wire that enters the seliniod. Dealerships charge hundreds of dollars, sometimes never addressing the issue, to correct this problem. This key drains the electrical system, which will essentially cause complete failure to the car or a fire- which are happening more and more. A parasitic battery drain occurs due to this issue, resulting in consumers attaching trickle charging units (recommended by dealers). Instead of correcting the anti-theft wiring issues along with the switch blade key fob, a single key was issued along with the defective key fob and dealerships are asking owners to replace their "shifting units" to correct the issue of the key not coming out of the ignition. This is a safety issue that will lead to death; a car fire, a home emergency, a mechanical necessity require immediate need for keys, an internal combustion, a car parked in neutral or a car left running to avoid the hassle of not getting the keys out of the ignition.

22 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/25/2021

I was at a stop light at a busy intersection. Once traffic was clear, I made a right turn into the right lane. I began to pick up speed coming out of the turn and the engine began to rev. Before it could reach 1000 rpm, the engine shut off completely. I was able to coast to parking lot. The power steering had disengaged as well so turning became very hard. There was no noticable issues as I had driven earlier that day. Gas tank was half full.

23 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/22/2021

My radio has been cutting on and off and will shut off if I press the breaks, turn on bright lights, shut the door, or any jolting movements. It won't play the blinker sound either if the radio is cut off. Sometimes it will make a loud pop or scratch noise. It will also flash on and off repeatedly and that is distracting at night. I've looked into it and others have these problems.

24 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/16/2021

Often, the key gets stuck in the ignition when I put the car into park. I have to turn the car back on, put the car into park and drive back and forth a few times, attempting to get the key out. Sometimes the key comes out after the second attempt of driving back and forth in the parking spot from drive to park and sometimes it takes more attempts. I see many other people have this concern. I only have 36, 216 miles on this car.

25 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/16/2021

My Camaro began shaking violently when the car was stationary. I thought that maybe the car was cold due to me not really driving during covid,so after letting the vehicle warm up, I drove away. As I drove down my street, the transmission light, as well as all of the traction, electronic stability control lights came on. While continuing to drive, the car began to make hard jerking motions. I see that there are many complaints for the electronic stability control, electrical and power train complaints on the NHTSA website dealing with this same concern (as well as the key getting stuck in the ignition which is also a complaint. I want it documented just in case an accident, or god forbids a fatality happens, they will have been notified prior. This needs to be recalled. Please share with the manufacturer and/or Chevrolet.
