RADIO SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY DURING DRIVING CITY STREETS AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BLOWERS WILL SOMETIMES SHUT OFF WHEN THE RADIO TURNS OFF. DASH LIGHTS ALSO FLICKER 5-10 TIMES WHEN RADIO SHUTS OFF AND AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF. WHEN PULLING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, SPEAKERS POP LOUDLY. EXTREMELY DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS. NO ISSUE WITH BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR. GM SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE, HOWEVER THERE ARE MULTIPLE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE AND FORUMS ONLINE OF THIS ISSUE. APPARENTLY THERE'S A POSSIBLE SOLUTION BY CUTTING THE 18TH WIRE, FURTHEST WHITE WIRE TO THE LEFT BEHIND THE STEREO FACE PLATE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR MY MOM AND DAD TOOK IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND SAID THAT IT TURNED OFF BUT FAILED TO MENTION IT BECAUSE OF CARS HAVING FEATURES THAT TURN CAR OFF WHILE AT A HALT. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND IT IS HARDLY DRIVEN. 3 DAYS OF THE WEEK, AND IS BARELY AT 5000 MILES. STILL TECHNICALLY BRAND NEW. ONE DAY WHILE COMING HOME FROM WORK MY BOYFRIEND AND I NOTICED THE CAR TO BE STRUGGLING A LITTLE POWER WISE. WHEN WE CAME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT WE MADE A RIGHT TURN AND THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL. BARELY TURNING INTO OUR APARTMENT IT FINALLY TURNED OFF. TOOK A COUPLE OF TRIES BUT CAR FINALLY TURNED ON FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND THEN TURNED OFF AGAIN. FINALLY BEING ABLE TO PARK THE CAR, WE TRIED STARTING IT AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR COUPLE MINUTES AND IT DID NOT WANT TO START. WE DROVE CAR TO NEARBY DEALER LEFT IT OVERNIGHT AND THE NEXT DAY THEY SAID ABOUT 11 CODES WERE COMING UP. AFTER THAT CAR FINALLY TURNED ON ACTED NORMAL FOR A BIT SO WE WERE GIVEN CAR BACK. AFTERWARDS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO BE OFF WORK WE WERE GOING TO TAKE CAR TO ORIGINAL DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM TO GET CHECKED OUT. HALFWAY INTO THE WEEK THE CAR THEN STALLED AGAIN LUCKILY AS WE TURNED INTO WORK. MESSAGES CAME UP SUCH AS "SERVICE STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL" AS LONG AS "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". WE WERE ABLE TO PARK IT AND HAD ONSTAR RUN A DIAGNOSTICS FOR IT AND WERE TOLD THAT SEVERAL CODES POPPED WITH TRANNY, STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL, ABS BREAKS, ENGINE POWER ETC WERE ALL AFFECTED AT THE TIME. WE TOOK IT TO DEALER COUPLE HOURS LATER AND CAR WAS CHECKED OUT AND "FIXED" COUPLE DAYS LATER. TURNED OUT TO BE A SHORT IN ONE OF THE WIRES. TO THINK A SIMPLE WIRE DEFECT CAN AFFECT THE CAR TO THAT EXTENT IS SCARY! AND I'M THANKFUL THE FAULTINESS DIDN'T OCCUR IN INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

Official recalls

14V409000 · Steering

Jul 2, 2014

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Regal, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro and Chevrolet Impala vehicles. Improperly torqued fasteners may cause the steering intermediate shaft and the steering gear and/or the lower control arm and the lower ball joint to separate.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If any of the components separate, the vehicle may have a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: GM began to notify owners on June 27, 2014, and dealers will inspect the fasteners for correct torque, correcting them as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac) or 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). GM's number for this recall is 14378.

14V346000 · Electrical System:ignition

Jun 20, 2014

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling all 2010-2014 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles manufactured December 3, 2008 to May 23, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position could cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will remove the key blade from the original flip key/RKE transmitter assemblies, and provide two new keys and two key rings per key. The recall began August 25, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14294. Note: Until the recall has been performed, it is very important that drivers adjust their seat and steering column to allow clearance between their knee and the ignition key.

13V463000 · Equipment:other:labels

Sep 26, 2013

General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Coupes manufactured June 9, 2013, through September 6, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the required air bag warning label on the sun visor may peel off. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208 "Occupant Crash Protection."

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the air bag warning label detaches from the visor, the driver and front seat passenger may not be warned of the risks of air bag deployment, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and instruct owners how to inspect the visor sticker. As necessary, dealers will replace the sun visor, free of charge. The recall began on October 28, 2013. Owners may contact GM at 1-800-521-7300. GM's recall campaign number is 13284.
