The steering wheel I have for starters, is not the correct one that is suppose to be with the vehicle. It should say -??Camaro-?? on the center of the steering wheel instead of having a Chevrolet logo on it. It-??s also not symmetrical to the vehicle interior, it-??s too big for where it is placed and doesn-??t match up with the drive train. It poses a risk because it starts to shake after I go a certain speed and is also wobbly when I first start driving like something is loose inside of it. The seats also are not the original seats that the vehicle came with and have been replaced by idk what brand it is but it-??s not a safe one because there are visible wires underneath the seat that aren-??t covered and it causes me back pain after driving for the smallest amount of time. I have to reach far back to retrieve my seatbelt and it-??s very inconvenient due to the strain it puts on me. I bought the car from this allegiances motors place and they allegedly inspected it and also did a safety inspection but they have not yet provided me with a legal safety inspection sticker and when I went in person about the issues I-??m having they said buying was wrong with the vehicle. They coerced me in to signing a paper stating the airbags being deployed were unknown so I-??m possibly driving around with no air bags in the vehicle which is highly alarming ne has I do drive with children in the backseat. It seems like all the components are slowly malfunctioning especially when I do not respond to the text messages of the car salesmen I bought the car from. They won-??t provide me with any information regarding the air bags and let me know what they-??re going to do in regards to fixing the visible wiring problem and ensuring I-??m driving around with air bags that haven-??t been deployed. Also, when I put my vin number in the system it showed me a picture of a convertible which is also pictured on the owners manual that came with the car, and it-??s not a convertible. It-??s just a regular ol coupe.

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.

2015 Camaro - safety systems attached to radio module. Radio module keeps going out, when radio module goes out, all audible warnings are no longer present, including turn signals, seat belt notification for passengers/driver. This is a known issue on several different Camaro forums, and has been reported to Chevy, no action has been taken to resolve this issue. This is a safety issue for the driver as well as passengers. Its the drivers responsibility to ensure seatbelts are on, and the audible notifications help to ensure the safety of all passengers, in the event there is an error/malfunction in the engine/seat belt error/airbag errors.

Almost 5 years after driving the vehicle off the lot and the warri has expired my airbag light can't be repaired by the nearby dealership for < $400. No really as of yet. While driving a month off the lot my vehicle was T-boned on the passenger side by a hit & run driver. Every since my steering wheel vibrates.

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.

I have a serious safety issue with this vehicle. My wife often rides with me in the passenger seat. She weighs approximately 130 pounds and the passenger airbag fails to turn on about 50% of the time. In order to activate the airbag system, we have to stop the vehicle, then she has to exit and re-enter the seat. This usually turns the airbag on. This is at best, inconvenient, but at worst in some situations it is hazardous! the local dealer contacted GM/tac in detroit and their response was as follows: "your vehicle is operating as designed. This is normal operation of the vehicle per tac that anyone 120 pounds and under will not trigger the airbag light to come on. This is the final GM resolution at this time" the 120-130 pound airbag threshold seems unusually high to me. Is this a normal design feature for all of these cars" why is this way" if I had known that when considering the vehicle I would not have purchased it. This is an ongoing problem. It started in Sep. 2015 and continues to this day (Jan. 10, 2016)
