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.
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) stopped working. During a panic stop on a freeway, I was cut off by a van. The rear wheels locked. The Dealer charged $200 to restore the system. Then, a few months later, it happened again. The Dealer comped the repair. However, they said the car needs to be driven more. A safety system's functionality should not rely on the frequency of driving. This is a serious design flaw warranting a recall.
The tires spun out of control while going the speed limit and wearing a seatbelt. The brakes ultimately failed. The car had no functional safety features, and I couldn't control the steering. It went airborne and rolled over. The airbags failed to deploy after hitting a tree. My safety and others were put at risk, and I almost died from the accident. I suffer from life-threatening/altering injuries.
My Camaro's accelerator stopped functioning at highway speeds in heavy traffic. I had to coast to a stop while dodging traffic. The engine ran, at idle. I put it in park. I still could not accelerate. I could floor it. Nothing but idle. I turned off the power and cut it back on and I was able to engaged the accelerator to get off the freeway and have it towed to a dealer. This is almost the same symptoms as the functional hack as demonstrated in the wired magazine "Jeep hack" video. After troubleshooting it 9 days, the dealer gave me the following info. U100 data bus: Engine control module (ECM) a - no communication U101 data bus: Transmission control module (tcm) - no communication U121 data bus: Anti-lock brake system (ABS) control module - no communication U176 data bus: Supplementary restraint system (SRS) sensor G - no communication I believe this to be either a very serious defect, or a malicious hacking attempt. I lost control of the vehicle at highway speeds. I can't drive this vehicle without the fear of it happening again. Without warning. GM's official answer is that they will give me an oil change coupon. I do not find this satisfactory. I find it a huge danger to my life and those around me. I am insulted that GM finds it funny. Research I have done shows that they have covered up stuff like this before. I think the public needs to know. I asked GM for contact info on their federal overseer for the ignition issue. They refused. I don't think they have learned their lesson.

Takata recall, my Camaro has been making a lot of noises on the left front of the pumper, I called the dealer I bought my car from, and they want me to pay $125 an hr for inspection which they had told me everything would be free as long as I keep taking my car with them which everything was a lie I was supposed to get my oil changes for free, never happened after 2 nd time taking my car I had to pay, so I called for an oil change appointment and also mentioned to them that my seat belt was not working, that I had to get it fixed asap because I could not drive it like that it can be very dangerous, so I got my appointment set up, next thing I show up on my scheduled date, andy they told me I can't get my seat belt fixed without paying, well"?? isn't there a warranty that covers 6 years on whatever happens to the vehicle? I guess that's not there policy 'ed denas, I've been asking other dealers, and they all told me Camaros have a 6 year warranty no matter what, why is this specific dealer not sticking to there word" they haven't been the best since the beginning, I can't keep paying for inspections when they said everything is covered for up to 6 years!.
