2013 Chevrolet Camaro

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEATER FUNCTIONED INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT CALLED CAMPBELL CHEVROLET AT (270) 495-0711 (LOCATED AT 2151 SCOTTSVILLE RD, BOWLING GREEN, KY 42104) AND WAS INFORMED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V346000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-4874699505. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

MY MAIN ISSUE WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF, I HEARD A LOUD POP COMING FROM MY SPEAKERS..MY BOYFRIEND WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEPT CHANGING FROM ON TO OFF WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED, I GET NO SEAT BELT CHIME AND THE STEREO FLASHES RAPIDLY AND GOES BLACK AND THE HEATER FAN COMES ON AND OFF I TURNED ON MY TURN SIGNAL AND NOTICED A LOUD STATIC NOISE EVERY TIME, I TURNED THE TURN SIGNAL ON. STILL NO SAFETY BELT CHIME, STEREO AND NOW THE TURN SIGNALS MAKE NO SOUND WHEN ON. (11/05/2018) AS I STARTED MY CAR THIS MORNING THE STEREO WAS FLASHING ALONG WITH THE LIGHTS AROUND THE HEATER CONTROLS AND THE FAN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND THE SCREEN ON THE RADIO WENT BLACK AND HASN'T COME BACK ON. THE HEATER FAN COMES ON FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS AND SHUTS OFF FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS. THIS OCCURS CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL I SHUT THE CAR OFF. EVERY TIME I START IT THE SAME THINGS ARE HAPPENING. WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF, I CAN HEAR A BUZZING COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE DASH THAT LASTS ABOUT 5 TO 7 SECONDS AND THEN STOPS FOR 5 TO 7 SECONDS. THIS WILL CONTINUE FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES. IT DOESN'T DO IT EVERY TIME. (11/07/2018) WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TODAY THE TRUNK OPEN LIGHT CAME ON, SO I PULLED OVER AND WENT TO THE REAR OF MY CAR AND IT WAS NOT OPEN. I PUSHED THE TRUNK OPEN BUTTON ON THE DOOR PANEL AND THE FOB SEVERAL TIMES AND IT WOULDN'T OPEN THE TRUNK. I GOT BACK IN TO THE CAR AND CONTINUED HOME AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE TRUNK WHEN I GOT HOME. SO AS OF TODAY, 11/13/2018 THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WON'T COME ON, THE FAN FOR THE HEATER/AIR CONDITIONING COMES ON AND OFF CONTINUOUSLY. THE TURN SIGNALS FLASH BUT HAVE NO SOUND, SEAT BELT CHIME DOES NOT WORK, PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY, THE TRUNK LID OPEN LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON

I OWN A 2013 CHEVY CAMARO 2LS COUPE. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR UNTIL TWO DAYS AGO WHEN THE TEMP OUTSIDE DROPPED TO 30 DEGREES. WHEN I CRANK MY CAR THE RADIO FLICKERS AND STOPS WORKING RANDOMLY WITH LOUD POPS FROM THE SPEAKERS, THE BLINKERS STOP MAKING THE CLICKING SOUND, AND THE CLIMATE CONTROLS FLICKER AND STOP WORKING WITH THE RADIO. AS OF NOW THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS COLD, AFTER I DRIVE IT FOR A FEW MILES IT WORKS FINE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE. MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 63,000.

2013 CHEVY CAMARO LS 3.6L V6 SIDI MY PROBLEM STARTED IN FEBRUARY 2018 THESE ARE THE FOLLOWING ISSUES BELOW: 1.MY GEAR SHIFT WILL COME OUT OF SECOND GEAR WHILE I AM SHIFTING DURING TAKEOFF ON MY DRIVE. THIS HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE SINCE LAST JULY AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AT AROUND 28,000 MILES. 2.COME FEBRUARY 2ND THIS YEAR MY RADIO STARTED CONTINUOUSLY POWERS OFF AND ON AND PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. NOW AT THIS POINT THIS IS CAUSING INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH MY A/C, BLINKERS, SEAT BELT ALARM AND LIGHTS. 3.NOW THE RADIO CONSTANTLY POWERING OFF AND ON EVEN WHEN I AM FINISHED DRIVING AND THE CAR IS PARKED AND LOCKED UP WITH THE FACTORY ALARM ACTIVATED THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF. (TODAY IS MAY 30, 2018). 4.NOW I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY MAINTAINING ENOUGH CRANKING AMPS TO START MY CAR AFTER SITTING FOR TWO DAYS. 5.LASTLY THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH ALL THE ISSUES THAT ARE LINKED TO THIS ONGOING ISSUE FOR MULTIPLE OWNERS. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE FOR MONTHS NOW BUT AS IT KEEPS PROGRESSING IT IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. 6.FINAL NOTE IF YOU HAVE AN EPILEPTIC DRIVER AND THEY MIGHT HAVE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT ON A DARK HIGHWAY LET'S HOPE THAT THE BRIGHT FLASHING DISPLAY FROM THE RADIO CONSTANTLY TURNING OFF AND ON DOES NOT CAUSE THEM TO HAVE A SEIZURE. I KNOW THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO DRIVE WHEN MY DISPLAY IS CONSTANTLY GOING OFF AND I AM UNABLE TO MAKE IT STOP SO MY EYES ARE HAVING TO CONSTANTLY ADJUST TO INTERIOR LIGHTS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL AS IF YOU ARE AT A DISCO.

WHILE DRIVING, I HEARD A LOUD POP FROM MY SPEAKERS. MY RADIO WENT BLACK, MY LEFT BLINKER STOPPED WORKING, AND MY HEATER AND AC UNIT WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME AS MY RADIO. NOT ONLY AM I DISAPPOINTED, BUT FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I BELIEVE THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM THE DEALER. NOW MY RADIO GOES IN AND OUT WHENEVER IT WANTS, ALONG WITH MY AC/HEATER AND MY BLINKER BLINKS EXTREMELY SLOWER THAN USUAL. I AM A HUGE FAN OF CHEVY'S AND NEVER EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM LIKE THIS ONE ON ANY VEHICLE I'VE OWNED. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE RELATED BECAUSE THE AC/HEATER UNIT IS CONNECTED TO THE RADIO AND THE ONLY WAY IT CAN BE FIXED IS THROUGH THE DEALER. HOWEVER, AS I CONTINUE TO READ OTHER CONSUMERS COMPLAINTS, THE DEALERSHIPS DO NOT HAVE AN ACCURATE FIX. I HAVE BEEN REALLY GOOD WITH KEEPING UP THE MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLE, BUT THIS EXPENSE IS SOMETHING I CANNOT AFFORD RIGHT NOW, AS A SINGLE PARENT WITH A CHILD IN COLLEGE! I ALSO SEE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY OWNER WITH THIS ISSUE. I AM SURPRISED THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL AS ONE IS DEFINITELY NEEDED OR CHEVY NEEDS TO TAKE MORE PRIDE IN THEIR VEHICLES AND CREATE MORE QUALITY ONES. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE PURCHASE A CHEVY CAMARO ESPECIALLY WITH THESE HORRIFYING ISSUES. I WILL CONTACT THE CEO OF GM AND VOICE MY COMPLAINT AS WELL. IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A SIMPLE FIX, PLEASE HELP! A LOYAL, YET DISSATISFIED CAMARO OWNER!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE RADIO WAS TURNED ON BUT FAILED TO PLAY MUSIC, THE HEAT WAS TURNED ON BUT BLEW OUT COLD AIR, THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS TURNED ON BUT BLEW OUT HOT AIR. ADDITIONALLY, THE LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNALS WERE NOT MAKING THE CLICKING NOISE WHILE IN THE ON POSITION. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND OPENED CASE 8-4029973651 AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,500.

6 MONTHS AGO MY INFOTAINMENT SCREEN STARTED FLASHING AND THE CD WOULD OCCASIONALLY POP OUT OF THE PLAYER ON ITS OWN. THE MUSIC WOULD TURN ITSELF OFF THEN COME BACK ON, STARTLING ME AS IT WOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD STATIC OR POPPING SOUND. IT STARTED OFF INTERMITTENTLY, THEN THE SCREEN WENT COMPLETELY BLACK AND THE MUSIC STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY EXCEPT FOR THE CONSTANT BUZZING/STATIC SOUND ACCOMPANIED BY CLICKING AS THOUGH SOMETHING IS TRYING TO TURN ON. THE SCREEN AND THE MUSIC OCCASIONALLY MAKE A SURPRISING APPEARANCE, USUALLY AFTER I'VE COME TO A STOP, ROLLED MY WINDOW DOWN OR USED THE TURN SIGNAL. WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE NEXT THING, THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. TO THIS DAY IT COMES ON AND OFF AT ITS LEISURE, INCLUDING THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOW DEFROST. MY BLINKERS NO LONGER MAKE THE SOUND TO ALERT ME THAT THEY ARE ON. ON A FEW OCCASIONS MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW HAS FAILED TO OPERATE. I ASSUME ONE DAY THAT WILL BE ALSO BE INOPERATIVE BASED ON PREVIOUS TRENDS. I CANCELLED MY SUBSCRIPTION TO ONSTAR SINCE I HAVE NO ACCESS TO THE FEATURES ANY LONGER. THIS MEANS I NO LONGER HAVE NAVIGATION, ACCESS TO EMERGENCY SERVICES, HANDS FREE CALLING OR EVEN ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. I NO LONGER HAVE THE ABILITY TO REMOTE ACCESS MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS ONE OF THE MAIN SELLING POINTS. NOW PLEASE IMAGINE TAKING AN UNCOMFORTABLY SILENT RIDE WITH ME AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN A CD THAT WASN'T PLAYING POPS OUT AND THE AIR CONDITIONER KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF, ALL WHILE THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE ITS ABOUT TO EXPLODE. I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND COUNTLESS SITES WITH NUMEROUS OWNERS STATING THAT THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. ADD ANOTHER 5000 OR SO CHARACTERS TO THIS COMPLAINT BOX AND I WILL GLADLY COPY AND PASTE THOSE OWNERS' STORIES FOR YOU TO CONSIDER AS WELL. CHEVROLET/GM SAY THAT THIS IS MY ISSUE ALONE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL YEARS BEFORE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LOST POWER, AND THE RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CAPITOL CHEVROLET OF COLUMBIA (111 NEWLAND RD, COLUMBIA, SC 29229 (855) 935-0359) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH INTERNAL FAILURE AND THE CABLE WIRES NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE; HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE APPEARED. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN. IT ONLY HAPPENS AT LOW SPEED MANEUVERING (<12MPH). THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS ONCE THE PROBLEM IS CREATED: POWER FLICKERS ON THE CAR; THE AC RESETS, RADIO RESETS, POWER STEERING GOES OUT, AND THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES DISPLAY: "SERVICE POWER STEERING" "SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL" AND "OPEN AND CLOSE PASSENGER WINDOW". I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME THE ELECTRIC STEERING ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND IT IS FAIRLY COMMON BETWEEN 2012-15 CAMAROS'. LUCKILY, I HAVE THE ABILITY TO REMAIN CALM AND CONTROL THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I AM NOT SO SURE OTHERS WILL HAVE THE SAME FATE AS I DID.
