I have purchased a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro and it has become obvious that there is an electrical issue that was not previously disclosed by the dealership. The radio and air conditioning shut off randomly while driving and it is accompanied by a loud popping sound. In addition, when pressing on the brake or using the right turn signal, the radio will also shut down completely, while the air conditioning is making a loud rumbling noise. This happens frequently and there is also a constant blinking in the lights on the front of the radio. This appears to be an electrical issue and the safety concerns are based on the premise that it can be reproduced by stepping on the brake or using the turn signal. Each of these need to be in proper working condition in order to be considered safe on the road. I am writing as after going to several shops thinking it was an issue with the radio itself, I was advised that this is a known issue with the Chevrolet Camaro. There are countless posts online with other Camaro owners complaining of the same symptoms and this defect should likely be included in a recall or repairs covered by the manufacturer. Please look into my concerns.

A safety system's functionality should not rely on the frequency of driving. This is a serious design flaw warranting a recall.

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.

15V666000 · Air Bags:side/window

Oct 16, 2015

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, Malibu, and GMC Terrain vehicles. The affected vehicles have front seat-mounted side impact air bags whose inflator may rupture upon its deployment.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of one or both of the side impact air bags, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. Additionally, if the air bag does not properly inflate, the driver or passenger is at an increased risk of injury.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the side impact air bag modules, free of charge. The recall began on October 19, 2015. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 01320.
