1 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2015 Chevrolet Camaro

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.

3 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2015 Chevrolet Camaro

Failure Date: 07/09/2019

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.

5 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro

Failure Date: 07/18/2018

When accelerating the vehicle shut off 3 times in the same day when switching from 1st to 2nd gear. I was forced to cycle the ignition , put the car in park , and res-start the car in the middle of the highway. I was scared out of my mind because I though the keyfob recall was to prevent this from happening. This wasnt the case and my 2014 Chevrolet Camaro automatic 6cy shut off 3 different times in the same day when accelerating.

The transmission fails. The car shuts off in traffic without warning or without codes sometimes in a parkimg lot and sometimes on the highway. Wont start and sometimes wont shut off. The traction control comes on and slows the car to 35mph on dry pavement. There is a clunk when shifting or driving under the car. The crank shaft has been replaced because of thrusting me forward, hard shifts and delayed shifting.

8 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2015 Chevrolet Camaro

Failure Date: 07/01/2015

Purchased Camaro LS 2015  - June 26, 2015 car milage at time of first incident 115 miles stalled x 3 #1 July 2, 2015 while driving 20 miles per hour (engine shut down, put car in neutral and stopped, car restarted). #2 July 3, 2015 while driving 45 miles per hour in moderate traffic (engine shut down, put in neutral while driving, car restarted). #3 July 3, 2015 while driving  home, another engine shut down in moderate to heavy traffic at 45 miles per hour, put in neutral while driving, car restated). Each of the above shut down events showed no rpm with sudden slowing of vehicle in traffic. I avoided the brakes for fear of increasing risk of rear end collusion.  if such an event occurred on a freeway on moderate to heavy traffic, at a speed of 65 miles per hour would create a seriously unsafe situation. The car is unsafe and I had the dealership pick up the car from my home 7-6-15.

9 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro

Failure Date: 08/19/2014

I was pulling into a parking space making a sudden sharp left turn when the steering wheel locked up completely, brakes could no longer be depressed any further and the engine shut off completely. Once vehicle came to full stop, the ignition would not release my key or let me start the car after shifting it back into park. I tried shifting out and back into park, opening the driver door and closing it with no fix. After 3 minutes, the car finally let me start the engine and released the wheel, brakes and key. Onstar's diagnostic test at time of incident showed no problems. Went to dealership that evening and chevy's technician said there are no codes that pull up. The technician and I both reenacted the situation with their diagnostic laptop and could not get the car to do it again and I was sent off with "no known issues found".

Failure Date: 06/22/2014

I have been experiencing stalling and vehicle shut off on my 2013 chevy Camaro I have taken it to the dealer 3 times now and they are unable to find the problem. It seems to happen during extreme heat temperatures during the summer months particularly. I have noticed that Nissan is having similar problems with their Nissan versa's and Nissan sentras as it was aired on channel 13 action news. I have reached out to gm twice about this problem with no help although they are aware that many people are having the same problem with their vehicles. I need to start a class action suit. Can you help me?.
