2014 Chevrolet Camaro

TAKATA RECALL- SEVERAL ISSUES CANT GET KEY OUT OF IGNITION WHEN PUT IN PARK, RADIO SCREEN LOCKS UP AND GOES BLANK WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY, HEATER GOT EXTREMELY HOT AND FROZE SO IT COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF WHILE TRAVELING ON HI WAY WITH NO WHERE TO PULL OFF. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES BUT ALWAYS SEEMED TO WORK FOR THEM. ASKED FOR THEM TO DOCUMENT SINCE I WAS GETTING CLOSE TO WARRANTY EXPIRING. ALSO HEAR A CLUNK EACH TIME I USE BRAKE. BACKFIRED AND LOSS POWER WHEN TRYING TO PASS A CAR ON FREEWAY. PASSENGER SEAT TWO WAY MOTOR HAD SHORT OR DEFECT WOULD CAUSE SEAT TO GET STUCK IN HIGH POSITION AT VARIOUS TIMES AND HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING WITH SEAT TOUCHING ROOF, NOT SURE IF SMALLER PERSON WOULD BE SAFE IF AIRBAGS GO OFF IN THIS POSITION. ALSO KEY CAME OUT WHILE SOMEONE ELSE WAS USING CAR.SINCE ALL THESE THINGS HAPPEN FAIRLY SOON AFTER PURCHASE I THOUGHT MAYBE I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY USE THE CARS OPTIONS OR CONTROLS. WHEN TAKING TO DEALERSHIP IT WOULD BE FINE AND THEY ALWAYS SAID IT HAS TO DO IT FOR US TO OR THEY CANT FIX IT. THAT'S WHY I ASKED FOR THEM TO DOCUMENT. MY CAR IS NOW AT 36,600 AND DOING SOME OF THE THINGS AGAIN.WHEN CALLING DEALER THEY ONLY HAD SOME OF MY COMPLAINTS DOCUMENTED.

I OWN A CHEVROLET, CAMARO 2014. THIS CAR HAS A DEFECT WITH THE STEERING KEY IGNITION. THE KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS IS A DEFECT AS A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH WILL SHOW HOW PREVALENT THIS ISSUE AS THERE ARE FORUMS AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS WITH CONSUMERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. EVEN WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALER THERE WAS ANOTHER PATRON THERE WITH THIS CAR, COMPLAINT AND DIAGNOSIS. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE IT IS A MATERIAL DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT IS SO COMMON. PLEASE ASSIST. THIS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE THE SAME CONCERN AS AN AIRBAG BUT IT IS AN ISSUE AS IT ALLOWS THE CONSUMER TO BE VULNERABLE TRYING TO GET THEIR KEY IT OF THE IGNITION AND IN MOST CASES FAILING TO BE ABLE TO DO SO AND NEEDING TO EITHER LEAVE THE VEHICLE, HAVE IT TOWED AND POSSIBLY DEPENDING ON WHERE THIS HAPPENS BEING VULNERABLE. I WAS PARKED AT A GAS STATION AT NIGHT, ANYTHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS FIDGETING WITH THIS KEY AND UNABLE TO GET IT TO RELEASE.

VEHICLE WAS HAVING A RADIO SHUT OFF ISSUE, WHERE ALL FM/AM STATIONS WERE NOT AVAILABLE, HOWEVER, SATELLITE RADIO WAS AVAILABLE. THE RADIO WOULD EMIT A "POP" SOUND AND THEN SHUT OFF (OCCURS DAILY). DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. NOW AS RECENT AS APR 30, 2017 (OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY), WHEN RADIO TURNS OFF, ENTIRE VEHICLE TURNS OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH, NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. VEHICLE HAS TURNED OFF WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY. STEERING BECOMES UNAVAILABLE MAKING USE OF THIS VEHICLE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE TO BEGIN REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE ALLOY WHEEL, RUBBER VALVE, DRIVER SIDE C-LINER, AND HUB AND BEARING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,313.

THE STEERING WHEEL HAS MANUAL DRIVE SHIFT LEVERS ON BOTH SIDES. WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN SOMETIMES THE LEVER GETS CAUGHT ON KEYS CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE A HARD RIGHT TURN RESULTING IN MOMENTARY LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. I HAVE ALMOST DRIVEN INTO DITCHES OR OTHER OBJECTS DUE TO THIS DEFECT. ALSO, THE SHIFTER IS NOT ENGAGING PROPERLY CAUSING THE KEY TO BE GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF. IN ORDER TO GET THE KEY TO RELEASE I HAVE TO RESTART THE ENGINE, REVERSE AND PUT THE SHIFTER BACK IN THE PARK POSITION. THEN I MUST ENGAGE THE FLOOR BRAKE AND RELEASE IT UNTIL A CLICKING NOISE IS HEARD INSIDE THE SHIFTER. THE KEY WILL THEN RELEASE. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED IN OTHER MODELS OF GM VEHICLES AND PART OF A RECALL HOWEVER MY MODEL HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE ENGINE, POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES SEIZED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF ANY INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE MAKING A SUDDEN SHARP LEFT TURN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP COMPLETELY, BRAKES COULD NO LONGER BE DEPRESSED ANY FURTHER AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. ONCE VEHICLE CAME TO FULL STOP, THE IGNITION WOULD NOT RELEASE MY KEY OR LET ME START THE CAR AFTER SHIFTING IT BACK INTO PARK. I TRIED SHIFTING OUT AND BACK INTO PARK, OPENING THE DRIVER DOOR AND CLOSING IT WITH NO FIX. AFTER 3 MINUTES, THE CAR FINALLY LET ME START THE ENGINE AND RELEASED THE WHEEL, BRAKES AND KEY. ONSTAR'S DIAGNOSTIC TEST AT TIME OF INCIDENT SHOWED NO PROBLEMS. WENT TO DEALERSHIP THAT EVENING AND CHEVY'S TECHNICIAN SAID THERE ARE NO CODES THAT PULL UP. THE TECHNICIAN AND I BOTH REENACTED THE SITUATION WITH THEIR DIAGNOSTIC LAPTOP AND COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO DO IT AGAIN AND I WAS SENT OFF WITH "NO KNOWN ISSUES FOUND". *TR

I STARTED THE VEHICLE TO RUN FOR MY MEDICATIONS AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON.I CALLED ON STAR AND THEY SCANNED IT AND THERE WAS A CODE U0151.THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO AIR BAG SIGNAL AND IN A CRASH MOST LIKELY THE AIR BAGS WOULDN'T GO OFF AND ON STAR WOULDN'T BE NOTIFIED!I ALSO HAVE BEEN HAVING STEERING PROBLEMS WITH THE RACK AND PUMP AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS OFF CENTER TO THE LEFT!I TOOK THE CAR TO LUCAS CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH EITHER.THE WOULDN'T EVEN CALL ONSTAR TO VERIFY IT HAPPENED AND REFUSED TO DO THE OPEN RECALL ON MY IGNITION KEYS.I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND CALLED ONSTAR AND THE CODE WAS GONE.ONSTAR SAYS THEY MUST OF CLEARED AND SENT ME ON THE WAY!CHEVROLET IS PLAYING WITH PEOPLES LIVES! *TR

THE MY LINK SYSTEM TEMPERATURE READINGS WERE READING 133 DEGREES WHEN THE TEMP WAS REALLY 64!I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALER SHOWED ME A TSB SAYING THAT WHEN YOU DRIVE BEHIND A CAR THE SYSTEM READS TEMPS FROM THE EXHAUST IN THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU!THEIR SOLUTION IS NOT TO DRIVE BEHIND ANYONE!GREAT JOB GM!THE DUAL MODE EXHAUST WHICH IS A $895 DOLLARS OPTION WENT AFTER 248 MILES. SOUND SO BAD LIKE AN OLD CATALYTIC CONVERTERS GUTS WENT INSIDE!PARTS HAS BEEN ON ORDER FOR 2 WEEKS AND ITS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER! ALSO STILL WAITING FOR A STEERING RACK!MY RIGHT SHOULDER WAS SEVERELY INJURED WHEN I COULD PARK IN A SPOT AND THE STEERING WHEELS PRESSURE TOOK A MIND OF ITS OWN!SEVERE PAIN! *TR
