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.
My radio has been turning off and on.then after 2 months of doing that my radio completely shut off. When ever I put my signals I'm not able to hear them. Which I believe it's a risk because I'm not aware if I have them on or not. I have heard that I'm not the only one with this problem. The dealership won't take responsibility for this.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle the turn signal audio was no longer present when activating the turn signal in either direction. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the failure was due to a defective radio. The radio was replaced and the failure was remedied. The local dealer was not notified. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 43,000.
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.
The front headlight is dim, not completely out.. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that 3 people came in for the same problem. Says the balance and the light bulb has to be replaced. I notice the light was dim when driving.
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!.
