Every once in awhile, the ignition key will not turn off to the steering lock position. Leaving the key in Accessory position. This defect makes the key impossible to remove. The defect in the 2015 Camaro has been documented in many Automotive & Camaro forums, but GM denies that there is a problem. GM had a similar problem in 2.2 million cars; Models with a key-sticking issue, AN says, include the 2005-2010 Cobalt, 2006-2011 Chevy HHR, 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice, 2007-2010 Pontiac G5, 2005-2006 Pontiac G4/Pursuit, 2007-2010 Saturn Sky and 2003-2007 Saturn Ion.
Please for the love of god make Chevy recall the 5th Gen camaro or 2010-2015 AC blend door mines been broken ever since I-€™ve owned the car and every camaro owner I talk with has the same issue.
The key will not come out of ignition once car is in park. In the event of an emergency, driver no longer has access to keys, driver is unable to leave car, battery drains (electric issues are already an issue that GMC will not address) and in the event driver is inexperienced at mechanics- this could lead to multifactor injuries. Issue has been reported in other make/models for YEARS, GMC refuses to address issue. In order to bypass this issue, owners must take apart steering column, release the Anti-Theft wire that enters the seliniod. Dealerships charge hundreds of dollars, sometimes never addressing the issue, to correct this problem. This key drains the electrical system, which will essentially cause complete failure to the car or a fire- which are happening more and more. A parasitic battery drain occurs due to this issue, resulting in consumers attaching trickle charging units (recommended by dealers). Instead of correcting the anti-theft wiring issues along with the switch blade key fob, a single key was issued along with the defective key fob and dealerships are asking owners to replace their "shifting units" to correct the issue of the key not coming out of the ignition. This is a safety issue that will lead to death; a car fire, a home emergency, a mechanical necessity require immediate need for keys, an internal combustion, a car parked in neutral or a car left running to avoid the hassle of not getting the keys out of the ignition.
Component unknown, available for inspection. I have not had the vehicle inspected by anyone. No warning lamps, messages prior to situation. This started happening a year after purchasing in 2017. Problem: After driving the vehicle, arriving at the destination, putting the car in park, turning the ignition off, the key will not turn all the way left so the key can be removed. The key gets stuck at that point. I try wiggling the key, push the key inward and left and right toward the steering column, apply the brake turn the key to the right 2x without actually turning the engine on then take the car out of park then put it back in park. Some times it works with one try but on average I do this about 3-5 times and then the key releases.
The car shuts off while driving it's a safety hazard from different reviews I have read it has to do with the key module. But it shuts off randomly while driving

The key gets stuck in the ignition. I have to turn the engine back on and put the car in drive, and then park and continue doing that process repeatedly until the ignition unlocks and frees the key. This happens almost every day.
I went to start my car one day, and use the air conditioning (A/C). The A/C was blowing warm air, so I tried my heater to see if it worked okay, and the heater was also blowing warm air and would not get hot. No matter which setting I turned my vehicle on, the A/C was blowing warm air and the heater was blowing warm air. I took the vehicle into a Chevy dealership, and they said my temp door broke into the actuator. This repair entails ripping apart the entire dash, including steering wheel, air bags, ect. And removing the windshield! the total for this cost me $1,600 for a $30 part! doing research, it appears that others have had the same exact problem with their fifth gen Camaro's; the temp door breaks off at the corner which makes it so the door is not opening and closing. I called GM customer assistance and they were unable to do anything for me. They said they would open up an investigation to see if it needed to be a recall. However, from all the people that have had this same exact problem, it should be a recall!
The steering is making a noise when it make turns and is stiff when turning. The key will not come out of the ignition when I put the car in park. I have to put it into gear several times and back into park before it will come out.
Sometimes when I accelerate the car hesitates and doesn't want to go. This happens off and on. Also, my key is getting harder to get out of the ignition. It's getting worse everyday. I'm afraid I won't be able to get my key out.
My car stereo and sound system stop working completely this is ridiculous that Chevy refuses to make a recall when there are so many cases online with people having the same problem of theirs stereo cutting in and out. This is theft. 700$ to fix a problem that almost every year Camaro has 2010-2015. Ridiculous.
The keys get stuck in the ignition intermittently and can't be removed when engine is off. I have to restart or turn to on position and move shifter to R N or D and then turn off then shift to park to remove! turning the wheel does not alleviate this. I also see several other similar complaints.
The heater in my car stopped working. It only blows cold air, can not get it to warm up. Also, my ac is fully charged, it works but just doesn't get cold. My husband checked my heater and it looks like it's in the knobs. Checked fuses and thermostat all good.
I have a 2015 cameo the key won't come out the ignition when this first happened to me I called GM just to be rudely talked to the second time it happened my radio went out and it stop my heat and air from working when I first got this car I purchased it brand new just to find out it was rusty under the bottom but they fixed that and I've been having problems every since nothing works in my car the seats won't go up in down until they get ready I've tried to contact GM but they won't return my emails this electrical problem is driving me crazy and I'm paying to much for this car to miss up like this I have less than 70 thousand miles on it and I still have some kind of warranty on it.
Whenever I turn my engine off and park 9/10 the key gets stuck in the ignition. I have to sometimes start my car up 2-3 times again in order to get it out.
