My 2015 Chevrolet Camaro convertible has suddenly developed a problem removing the ignition key after turning it off. The problem started off intermittently then got worse. Took it to the dealer and the service manager came out to look at it. He immediately moved the shift lever and the key came out. He did it like he has done it many times before. I asked if it was a known problem and he told me no. After doing research, I discovered it is a problem widely known by dealers but never admitted! fortunately my car is still under full factory warranty but I believe there are many, many other people that have had to unnecessarily pay for a repair that was the result of poor design. I also learned that it only is a problem with automatic transmissions and manual transmissions do not have this problem. The problem is with the linkage between the gearshift and the ignition key release. When I go to park the car I never know if it will give my key back or not! I have an appointment to get it fixed, but this is an obvious and well known problem!.

On fri, 26 August 2016, at a stop, my car wouldn't go into any gear (it is a 6 speed manual). I almost got hit. A cop & a good samaritan stopped & forced the gear in 1st as dealership & gm weren't helpful over the phone. I immediately drove to flow. They kept the car for a week & said they did a full check & everything was okay. Gm was contacted but nothing was done to fix it. On sat, 24 September at night in a parking garage, I came to a complete stop and when I went to put my car into first gear to park, again it would not go into gear. I recorded a video of my friend having to force it into gear as the good samaritan did weeks before. Anyone who views the video can see how the car won't go in gear & can hear the noise it makes (as it did the in the August scenario). I brought the vehicle in that mon. Car was kept for a week. They contacted gm & gm said the same thing had been happening to other 2016 Camaros & the solution was to flush out or "bleed" some fluid in the clutch. I'm not a mechanic but I knew this wouldn't work. This is obviously a mechanical problem. I was also suspicious. Just 3 weeks before, gm supposedly had no solutions & acted like my car was the only one doing this. Fri , 30 sept, car was returned. On sat morning 1 oct, the same issue happened at a drive thru & 2 employees had to push me in the parking lot. New manager says they'll drive the car to see if it happens to them & also can try "one more thing". The car has an obvious manufacter defect that is a safety hazard. I called gm for assistance & they atttempted to contact flow for more info & after several minutes ,returned & said that they had not been transferred to service & was told flow service was"too busy" to talk because they were getting off in an hour. Gm needs to honor their warranty & take the transmission apart or replace the vehicle. It's in the shop for the 3rd time in 4 weeks.

The steering wheel has manual drive shift levers on both sides. When making a right turn sometimes the lever gets caught on keys causing the steering wheel to make a hard right turn resulting in momentary loss of steering control. I have almost driven into ditches or other objects due to this defect. Also, the shifter is not engaging properly causing the key to be get stuck in the ignition when the engine is off. In order to get the key to release I have to restart the engine, reverse and put the shifter back in the park position. Then I must engage the floor brake and release it until a clicking noise is heard inside the shifter. The key will then release. This problem has already been reported in other models of gm vehicles and part of a recall however my model has not been recalled. The dealer and manufacturer are not taking responsibility.
