This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The blender door is junk. It falls apart, so no air conditioning or worse, no heat. I got stuck in a traffic jam in freezing temps and despite blankets, I may lose a piece of my ear lobe. Flash forward, not a single local repair shop will fix this. They say it's a recall issue...or one that should be. Sadly, the dealerships want $4k - $6k to fix it. Something that just is not in my budget with this economy. Chevrolet might want to fix this before someone loses more than an ear lobe. I will be suing if my doctor has to remove a portion of my ear. They were concerned over a stupid sticker on a visor, but not people freezing to death or dying of heat stroke. Do better Chevrolet. Do beter NHTSA - I filed a complaint about my Ford going into limp mode on a highway without warning over ten years ago and the only response from anyone was crickets.
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.
There is a distracting pop in the radio which also affects the signal lights, the heater and air conditioner controls, and the controls for the radio itself. There are numerous complaints on the web for this same year vehicle with the same problem. It is very distracting as when the radio pops it makes a loud noise that is similar to running over something or hitting something with your vehicle. Also the tail light on the driver side won't stay on and the headlight on the passenger side has a short in it also. These problems I have been listed numerous times on the web. I have had several service mechanics look at it and they haven't been able to fix it as of yet. I recently read online. There is a short in those radios. But the radio is still is listed as at $700. I don't have this kind of money to replace it. And I'm not sure if that will fix the problem or not. I wrote to Chevrolet when it first happened about 35,000 mi ago. I got a reply that they didn't have enough complaints yet. I don't know if they ever looked on the web because at the time there were quite a few and they are still listed today. This was the year after I bought my car which would have been 2018. It's a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro LS. Please assist as this affects where I go as I am afraid that something will happen to my car since it affects so many things already. I don't want it to cause other problems as these are more than enough to affect my driving. My car had approximately 30,000, mi at the time this incident began.
I have a lot of problems with my A/C. I bought it new in 2014, in 2019 my coolant dye leaked out for no reason. I-??ve had the condenser, clutch, dryer, and o rings replaced. The pressure is high because of a suspected blockage, which couldn-??t be identified, in my A/C. I have to take in in to check for evaporator leak. The windshield has to be removed so I have to take it to the dealership.
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

Stress fractures to the windshield. Fatigue, vibrations from the car snapped the windshield. This the fourth time since we had to replace a windshield.
My 2014 Chevrolet the radio /air conditioning and a/c controls, overhead lightning and now the blinkers are popping cracking lighting up my electronics in the center console and it is very scary. The a/c clicks on and off my turn signals are effected and now I am having to get a jump to start my car and I have a 1 year new battery. I am afraid with this going on and it is a known problem for this car.
Key gets locked in the ignition after car is put into park and even after car has been turned off. For a while the stereo will turn off and on. Lights stay flickering from time to time.
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.
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.
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
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.
Ignition key issues I have been issues with the ignition switch not releasing my key after shutting off the vehicle. I have to turn my key counter-clockwise several times before the key actually releases. I believe I have a faulty ignition key switch that needs replacement. I have not received a recall notification regarding this concern, but hope to hear something soon. Thank you for your concern in this important matter.
The key to my ignition gets stuck when I attempt to turn the engine off. It takes almost 30 minutes to an hour for the ignition to release the key. In addition, it happens every time I try to take the key out of the ignition. I went to the dealership in regards to the issue as well as called General Motors directly. I have not received any results from both options. I have been researching this issue in which I found that I am not the only person who is having this trouble. Almost every one with a Camaro has a problem getting their key out of the ignition. Not only is my battery draining and I am having to get the battery jumped, but it is very unsafe. My car is my only means of transportation in which I have to drive one hour plus to work everyday as well as take my child to school. The key gets stuck at all times. I am at risk for having my car stolen and even worse being stranded, as well as my child, trying to get the ignition to release the key. It is very draining having to wait long hours to get the key out of the car. I am also paranoid that the car will be stolen when having to leave the car for 30 plus minutes just to come back and have the key released. This is a pressing issue as it is definitely a manufacturers issue. It is interfering with me when I go to the grocery store, work, my child's school, and every other place that I have to travel to daily. The issue presented itself at the beginning of January and tends to only have gotten worst.
Key keeps getting stuck in the admission when I put the car in park. It was sporadic but now its every time I go to pull my key out. I have read of many other Camaro owners having this same problem
When I park my vehicle, shift into park, the key stays locked in the ignition. I have to turn the vehicle on and shift into drive or reverse and then shift into park again to release the key. This has happened before in 2016 and dealership fixed the problem after 4 times going to them. Unfortunately, the problem is occurring again. I've taken my vehicle to Chevrolet dealership and the problem is not occurring while it's there. My extended warranty is expiring soon and I still have this problem. Tomorrow, an inspector will be assessing my car. My vehicle has been in/out of the dealership a total of 5 days...waiting to see what's wrong with it. The gas gauge doesn't move when the car is turned on. I have to turn it off then back on and the gas gauge moves. The air conditioner when I turned knob no air comes out. The screen say off/off and yet the knob is at full blast. I turn it back to the off position and then turn the knob to 7 and it continues to say off/off - no lights are on and no air comes out. I've given pictures to the service department and I'm waiting to see what the inspector says. It's a nuisance to have these problems. I'm thinking I bought a lemon car. Too many issues...
