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.
This is a very know common within the 2015 Camaros. The ignition key always gets stuck when put in park. Many believe it is due to gearshift button getting stuck. There has been recalls on this in many states.
This is the SECOND time that my "Serivce Stabilitrak" along with the traction light has gone off and the engine light blinks constantly, within less than a 6 month period. I paid almost $900, with a dealership coupon, at Grieco Chervolet in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for the exact same problem, less than 6 months ago; now the same issue occurred today, on my way to work. Uncontrollable shaking and speed. I see LOTS of complaints for this issue on this website, so I am NOT sure how there is NOT a safety recall for this vehicle. No one seems to take this concern seriously, until deaths are reported, I suppose. Shameful! This car is going to cause an injury or fatality, if some agency does not look into this concern, that many Chervy Camaro owners, are reporting.
My Camaro began shaking violently when the car was stationary. I thought that maybe the car was cold due to me not really driving during covid, so after letting the vehicle warm up, I drove away. As I drove down my street, the transmission light, as well as all of the traction, electronic stability control lights came on. While continuing to drive, the car began to make hard jerking motions. I see that there are many complaints for the electronic stability control, electrical and power train complaints on the NHTSA website dealing with this same concern (as well as the key getting stuck in the ignition which is also a complaint. I want it documented just in case an accident, or god forbids a fatality happens, they will have been notified prior. This needs to be recalled. Please share with the manufacturer and/or Chevrolet
Started w the car popping out of 2nd. Driving, then suddenly in neutral. Obviously, not safe in traffic or in attempting to accelerate. Soon it would grind when going into 2nd. I found it would go into gear better if I 'gunned' it a bit. But, then, I'm risking going too fast unexpectedly, and can't be good on the motor. Before too long, it is basically impossible to go into 2nd, either up (1-2) or down (3-2). Now, I just skip 2nd. But, this isn't good for motor!! also, having to rev high in 1st for a smoother jump to 3rd isn't good. Slowing for turns, the motor bogs down, sometimes stalls!!! dangerous with someone behind me! looked up issue, seems to be very common problem. Taken to shop 3X, can't replicate or pinpoint problem. I replicate it every day!! dealer advice is very costly transmission work! if this is so common, isn't this a design flaw"? it seems to me a potentially very dangerous design flaw. Some research suggests there is a simple adjustment that can be done, thru the gear shift cover?! but, dealer nor auto shop interested in 'internet easy fix'. (not enough cash in pocket?") at a loss, I don't want costly work done on a trans, when not needed. But, it's clearly going to need the work if I can't get help soon. Need Chevy to be honest about this clearly common issue, recognize the problem rather than deny! recall for the work. And, stop playing games. Please look into this. We shouldn't have issues straight off the lot and/ or on-going soon after and forevermore.
Driving car non-aggressively on flat, city street going in a straight line - difficulty shifting into 2nd gear / 2nd gear is "spat" out when getting back on the throttle after giving a positive response to shift - remains an issue over the 3mo I've owned the vehicle.

The stereo has a "short" as determined by my local dealer. The local dealer also informed me that this is a "well known issue" for this generation of Camaros. The issue causes the stereo and all connected systems to short, turn off, then turn back on. During each cycle of this process a loud pop comes from the stereo speakers that is similar to a balloon popping in close proximity to an individual. Currently this will wither happen once after startup with the radio not turning back on for the duration of the trip, or will happen repeatedly during the duration of the drive. In the situation where the radio shorts and stays off for the remainder of the drive, none of the audio warnings for the car will work while stereo is shorted out. This includes but is not limited to seat belt warnings, low fuel warnings, door ajar warnings, reverse gear notification (manual transmission), engine overheat warning, power steering warning, transmission overheat warning, parking lamp notification, headlamp notification, parking break warning, ABS warning, blinker chime. The popping sound made by the radio while it is shorting can be very distracting while driving and there is no way to turn it off. It can also be unexpected and startling and may cause reactions from the driver. While the radio is shorted out the audio chime for the blinker does not work. There have been several instances where the blinker's audio chime was not operative for the entire time the vehicle was running. In the manual transmission vehicle the reverse gear audio notification does not operate when the radio is shorted. This can cause a driver to unexpectedly place the vehicle in reverse when attempting to quickly shift to 1st gear. In normal operation the vehicle emits a notification sound when the vehicle is placed into reverse along with a R displayed on the gauge cluster.
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.
When turning off the vehicle with automatic shifter in park the ignition key gets stuck in the ignitiion switch. I then have to keep restarting and shutting off the vehicle and move the shifter in and out of park multiple times to get the key to release. There appears to be a sensor issue with the automatic shifting mechnism and the ignition switch. This has happened on both my 2014 V-6 and 2015 V-8 Camaros. Numerous complaints are all over the internet about this problem and Chevrolet should issue a recall.
In 2016 keys kept getting stuck while in park. The key will not come out for the ignition. I must start the car and move the shiftier out of park and back into the part position several times. Same information from the previous compliant then the ignition needed to be replace. Now 06/14/2018: The same issues; keys kept getting stuck while in park. The key will not come out for the ignition. I must start the car and move the shiftier out of park and back into the part position several times. And now its currently in the shop and the shifter assembly needed to be replace. I purchase my car christmas 2014 and it's only a 3yr vehicle with 29,592 miles on it. I just don't understand all these problems for only 3yr old vehicle.
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!
Ive had issues with the motor dealer has had to change pistons and vales. Which isn't very unsafe until your driving on the highway then you lose all power..then you have to Dodge traffic..or else.. ive had issues with the tire sensor that keeps going out, dealer changed it once and within a month it started acting weird again. Keeps telling me to add air to the tires when I took it in to the dealer they said it was fine. Until I get a blow out and wreck. Ive had issues with some lights that flicker while im driving. The dealer says "that there is nothing wrong with the lights". GM is buying back this lemon they sold me, however they would like me to keep driving this car with two completely bald tires around while they decide exactly how much they want me to pay them for dealing with this obvious lemon that they sold me. That's the thanks I get for choosing to buy an american made vehicle. I will not even drive this one year old car because it is so unsafe, please look into or at least make some of this information available so that other honest hard working people don't get caught in this horrible situation..
Purchased the car 4/2015 new - 5/6 I was driving my car when it started to shake and vibrate. I pulled over and it stopped. I brought it straight to the deal and it had a diagnostic code for engine misfire - no problem with car since that day 5/6. on 5/9 I was driving home from school and I pulled onto my home street and the car light came on transmission overheat - the car completley shut down and I could not start it again. I towed it to the dealer. - I was told the transmision was stuck in between 1st and 2nd gear and the transmission was completey fried - burned - melted - not 1 report on the diagnostic not 1 warning until it just stopped dead in the road. If I had been driving on the highway I would have been killed for the car just shutting down - and never started again - tires are pitted and bald - every 2 weeks I rec'd notice to put air in back tires from the day of purchase the air in back tires always neeeded air. Dealership and GM have deemed the warranty voided and will not replace the transmission or worn tires on a 1 yr old car - how can a transmission burn out in 3 days"? it had just had a diagnostics done at the dealership on 5/6 when the engine malfunctioned- I was told it was a misfire!!! and then 3 days later on 5/9 the transmission was burned out ???- mechanic said it was stuck in between 1st and 2nd gears??? how can that happen if I only drive in automatic?? how come there was no warnings about the slip in gears as well?? or a warning about the overheating of the transmission before it melted"
The car makes a load popping noise when started but only once right after it starts. The car will run like it is in gear or missing and want to move forward, even with the clutch press down and in gear. It is very hard to get in gear with the clutch pressed or will not go in to gear, 1st or 2nd so driving can be very dangerous.
2015 Chevy Camaro rs / 2lt commemorative edition: The transmission configuration on this vehicle is hazardous. First gear is located adjacent to the reverse gear on the upper left. Very little buffer between first and reverse and is effortless to move the transmission into reverse when you want to choose first gear. When accelerating from a stopped position it is very common to move the shifter into reverse instead of first gear. I've had several close calls with the vehicle moving backward instead of forward. This poor configuration is hazardous and can be potentially fatal. I strongly advise the NHTSA to open an investigation into this matter.

The infotament system freezes, turns on and off randomly park will not hold and the vehicles will roll into park; it fails to hold and vehicle rolls when brake pedal is released when braking or accelerating, a noise in rear of vehicle, like clunking or a popping sound, can be heard
