THE STEERING RACK MAKES A PULSING NOISE AROUND CORNERS AND THE STEERING CUTS IN AN OUT OF POWER ASSIST MODE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEARLY NEW WITH 752 MILES ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SEVERAL UNITS, BUT THIS CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. I BELIEVE THE RECALL EXTENDS TO THIS CAR AND PROBABLY SEVERAL OTHERS AS MANY PEOPLE ON THE FORUMS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUE. THE CAR DOES IT CONSTANTLY AROUND CORNERS, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO LET AND NHTSA INVESTIGATOR DRIVE THE CAR. THIS CAR IS ALSO MAKING THE CLUNK FROM THE REAR UNDER NHTSA#10114259. I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THE STEERING AND I ALSO BELIEVE NHTSA#10114259 SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT A TSB.

THE KEY TO MY IGNITION GETS STUCK WHEN I ATTEMPT TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF. IT TAKES ALMOST 30 MINUTES TO AN HOUR FOR THE IGNITION TO RELEASE THE KEY. IN ADDITION, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN REGARDS TO THE ISSUE AS WELL AS CALLED GENERAL MOTORS DIRECTLY. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESULTS FROM BOTH OPTIONS. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IN WHICH I FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS HAVING THIS TROUBLE. ALMOST EVERY ONE WITH A CAMARO HAS A PROBLEM GETTING THEIR KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. NOT ONLY IS MY BATTERY DRAINING AND I AM HAVING TO GET THE BATTERY JUMPED, BUT IT IS VERY UNSAFE. MY CAR IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION IN WHICH I HAVE TO DRIVE ONE HOUR PLUS TO WORK EVERYDAY AS WELL AS TAKE MY CHILD TO SCHOOL. THE KEY GETS STUCK AT ALL TIMES. I AM AT RISK FOR HAVING MY CAR STOLEN AND EVEN WORSE BEING STRANDED, AS WELL AS MY CHILD, TRYING TO GET THE IGNITION TO RELEASE THE KEY. IT IS VERY DRAINING HAVING TO WAIT LONG HOURS TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE CAR. I AM ALSO PARANOID THAT THE CAR WILL BE STOLEN WHEN HAVING TO LEAVE THE CAR FOR 30 PLUS MINUTES JUST TO COME BACK AND HAVE THE KEY RELEASED. THIS IS A PRESSING ISSUE AS IT IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURERS ISSUE. IT IS INTERFERING WITH ME WHEN I GO TO THE GROCERY STORE, WORK, MY CHILD'S SCHOOL, AND EVERY OTHER PLACE THAT I HAVE TO TRAVEL TO DAILY. THE ISSUE PRESENTED ITSELF AT THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY AND TENDS TO ONLY HAVE GOTTEN WORST.

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.

CENTER CONSOLE LIGHTS STARTED TURNING OFF AND ON AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME 2018, ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD POPPING SOUND FROM SPEAKERS. THEN THE RADIO STARTED TURNING OFF AND ON CONSTANTLY ACCOMPANIED BY THE SAME LOUD POPPING SOUND. BLINKERS SOMETIMES TRIGGER RADIO PROBLEM AND THEY DO NOT ALWAYS WORK PROPERLY. RADIO CONSOLE FINALLY BLEW OUT PERMANENTLY IN JAN 2019, UNABLE TO LISTEN TO MUSIC, AND AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. CONTACTED BOTH GM AND CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN PAWLEY'S ISLAND; TOLD ME NO RECALLS, WOULD HAVE TO BRING IN FOR ANALYSIS; HOWEVER INDICATED THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND $1,000. HOW WOULD THEY KNOW THE COST UNLESS THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM? I ALSO HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE.
CENTER CONSOLE LIGHTS TURN ON AND OFF. LOUD POPPING SOUND FROM SPEAKERS. RADIO CONSTANTLY TURNING OFF AND THEN COMING BACK ON, REALLY LOUDLY. HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AND SITTING STILL. CONSTANT FLIPPING ON AND OFF OF RADIO.

Official recalls
314V409000 · 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."

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.
