Apparently it is a known issue with repair shops. The 5th bow of the convertible top is a faulty part that when bent causes leaks within the vehicle. These leaks bcome massive and could cause mold within the rear floor panel. I've replace the part in 2018 and now 2024. However, the repair shop is now telling me the part is nolonger manufactured and can be located in the country.

Please help me. I am having difficulty with rotolo Chevrolet in fontana, California providing me with a new replacement key in exchange for the Camaro knee-key recall no. 14V346key without charge. I do not feel safe driving my car with the original key that came with the Camaro, my safety is at risk, and rotolo Chevrolet is wrongfully charging $506 for the recall replacement I am the original owner of my 2013 Chevrolet Camaro (VIN: [xxx]) and I only have the original key that came with the car when purchased in 2013 (see pictures). On Saturday, April 3, 2021, I had an 11:30 a.M. appointment with rotolo Chevrolet in fontana, California to replace my original key due it being recalled. Rotolo Chevrolet advisor [xxx] said I had to pay $506. [xxx] said that even though I have the original key (he held my key personally and confirmed it was the original; not a recall replacement two-part key) he cannot replace the key unless I pay for it as his paperwork says the recall was completed. I explained his record is incorrect as the only key I have is the original. While at rotolo Chevrolet, I placed an order for a new key even though I did not agree with being charged $506 for a recall replacement key. I had to continue with the process to order a new key because of my safety. Due to the receipt stating declined repairs, I called rotolo Chevrolet on Monday, April 5, 2021. I spoke with alma and she said she was going to explain my recall key matter with a manager ([xxx]), and transferred me to [xxx]. regarding the error on the receipt stating I declined the replacement key. I only declined the charge of $1,492, due to a short in the connection to my onstar and radio. This was too expensive. They also charged me $180 for no work done. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I have been experiencing problems with my radio for about 10 months now. The problem started when I pressed on my brakes in a city street and the radio turned off and turned back on after a few seconds. I found it odd, but ignored it initially. This problem started to happen more regularly, with a strong association between the radio turning off and back on to using the brakes on my car. Over the course of several months, the problem became more significant, happening more frequently during my drives, and no longer associated with braking, it would just happen randomly now. The radio would turn on and off repeatedly during my drives, whether I was on a city street or highway. At this point, my air would also turn on and off when the radio would start glitching. There were times when I would turn on my car and the radio just wouldn't turn on at all. There was one time that it took 20 minutes into my drive for the radio to finally turn on, only for it to start turning on and off again. This problem can be very distracting while driving, and may cause an accident. As a result, I had to remove the radio from my car and I just drive in silence. The air no longer turns on and off and I can drive peacefully, even though I would love to listen to the radio while I drive.

While driving, my radio will pop and shut off, which also causes my ac to not work. Recently it has also effected my turn signals and other dash board areas and it does it no matter if I'm legit driving or sitting still. There are literally hundred of people having this issue and nothing has fixed it yet!

Shortly after I start my car and turn on the radio a load popping sound will come through the speakers and the sound from the radio will go off. The radio panel will stay lit, but no sound will come out and the buttons on the radio will not work. It also will not accept a cd. It will stay like this for awhile. The next time I start car it will do the same thing. It used to do this randomly at first with no rhyme or reason for it. It started more than 6 months ago and has gotten worse. It used to play a little while before popping sound and no sound. Now it only stays on seconds, pops and goes off. Sometimes it won't work again for hours or days. At first I heard loud static in my speakers when I used the turn signals, but not anymore. There doesn't seem to be an specific pattern. I do see that many people are having this same or very similar problems with their Camaros. Why hasn't there been a recall. It's obviously a big problem that a lot of Camaro owners are having. It happens when it's stationary and/or in motion.

HVAC blend door fails due to faulty design. This causes the ac to perform incorrectly and only blow hot air in the warm/hot season. Using the heater in the winter melts the blend door hinge causing this malfunction.

The factory radio turns off and on with blinking lights on the radio itself along with the A/C unit shutting down and back up. The turn signal also do not make any sound. Sometimes, if I turn-off the car and pull the key out and back in and crack everthing returns as normal. All the research I've done points to the radio. They just replace it with a aftermarket. They do not make my radio any more. Should be a recall on this device.

Approximately two months ago, I noticed my rear passenger floorboard saturated with water after a rainstorm. It had been parked in the yard. Since discovering this, I keep my floor mats in the trunk. So that the floorboards are allowed to dry out properly. However, this has become a nuisance, as I don't want to potentially cause rust and/or corrosion to my floorboard.

This vehicle has less than 50,000 miles. I recently purchased it from a large local Chevrolet dealership. The heat stopped working one week after I bought it. One day I went to start the car and the heater blew cold air. Ihad it checked and was told it's a bad heater core. The dealership will not cover it and the repair will cost over $1000 on a vehicle that I've had just over a month. After doing some research, this is a widespread issue with these cars and nothing has been done to address it.

Heater core leak- at startup and during driving, keep smelling antifreeze. Antifreeze was low so added to full mark. Passenger floor board would be soaked after some days of driving. Had tests done to find leak. It is being diagnosed at leaking heater core. Found out the radiator and reservoir was empty or extremely low.

My main issue when I shut the car off, I heard a loud pop coming from my speakers..my boyfriend was in the passenger seat and the air bag light kept changing from on to off when the car is started, I get no seat belt chime and the stereo flashes rapidly and goes black and the heater fan comes on and off I turned on my turn signal and noticed a loud static noise every time, I turned the turn signal on. Still no safety belt chime, stereo and now the turn signals make no sound when on. (11/05/2018) as I started my car this morning the stereo was flashing along with the lights around the heater controls and the fan working intermittently for about 10 seconds and the screen on the radio went black and hasn't come back on. The heater fan comes on for 2 to 3 seconds and shuts off for 2 to 3 seconds. This occurs continuously until I shut the car off. Every time I start it the same things are happening. When I shut the car off, I can hear a buzzing coming from somewhere in the dash that lasts about 5 to 7 seconds and then stops for 5 to 7 seconds. This will continue for approximately 5 minutes. It doesn't do it every time. (11/07/2018) while driving home from work today the trunk open light came on, so I pulled over and went to the rear of my car and it was not open. I pushed the trunk open button on the door panel and the fob several times and it wouldn't open the trunk. I got back in to the car and continued home and the light went off and I was able to open the trunk when I got home. So as of today, 11/13/2018 the infotainment system won't come on, the fan for the heater/air conditioning comes on and off continuously. The turn signals flash but have no sound, seat belt chime does not work, passenger air bag light comes on and off randomly, the trunk lid open light randomly comes
