2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

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

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE, POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING. VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND PULLED INTO ANOTHER LANE. LUCKILY, NO CARS WERE NEAR. WE MANAGED TO GET HOME AND TOOK TO LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER. THEY RESET IT AND POWER STEERING WORKED FOR A WHILE. DROVE THE CAR FOR APPOXIMATELY 60 MILES AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON A 2 LANE ROAD IN MIDDLE OF TURN. ALMOST WRECKED. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 8700 MILES ON IT, BUT BECAUSE OF YEARS, WARRANTY IS OUT. 8700 MILES!!! WHEN I CONTACTED GM OVER ABOUT A MONTH SEVERAL TIMES, THEY FINALLY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. I ALSO HAVE A 2014 SILVERADO THAT HAD A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. MY DAUGHTER HAS A 2017 COLORADO THAT THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON TODAY. IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I CHECKED OUT PROBLEMS ONLINE, I FOUND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

I OWN A 2013 CHEVROLET ZL1 CAMARO WITH 76500 MILES. IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED, CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. CHEVROLET SAID THIS WAS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM AND THE REPAIR WOULD BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. CHEVROLET WANTED $2,791.00 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM.

SHARK FIN ANTENNA HAS VERY POOR RECEPTION, CAUSES ONSTAR TO LOSE CONNECTION OFTEN IN PLACES IT SHOULDN'T AS WELL AS NAVIGATION THROUGH RADIO TO NOT WORK WHEN IT SHOULD AND RADIO,XM,ETC. DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMMON THING IN THE CAMARO SHARK FIN. HAPPENS VERY OFTEN FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED THE CAR TO PRESENT

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.

DURING EVENT(S), VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND STOPPED. WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT, THE AIR BAG DOES NOT TURN ON. AT LEAST THE LIGHT FOR THE AIR BAG STAYS IN THE OFF POSITION. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR A VERY LONG TIME, I JUST NOW NOTICED IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SECURE THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT, THE BUCKLE MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD NOT PROPERLY LOCK. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

TPMS SYSTEM. MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. MOVING. SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM IS DISPLAYED WHEN TIRE PRESSURE FALLS BELOW 32 PSI OR GETS INTO A CERTAIN RANGE AS SOMETIMES WILL REAPPEAR BELOW 30 PSI AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT. THE TIRE PRESSURE DISPLAY WILL ONLY SHOW DASHES AND NOT A PRESSURE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION THAT IT IS NORMAL OPERATION BY DEALERS. IT SHOULD NOT BE THAT WAY, AS YOU DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A LEAK OR IF THE SYSTEM TRULY NEEDS SERVICED.

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. HERE IS A FORUM POST WITH MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS CONSOLIDATED: [XXX] PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

WHILE IN MOTION, I NOTICED THE CAR STARTED PULLING IN ONE DIRECTION AND THEN THE A COMPLETE LOSS OF THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED "SERVICE POWER STEERING" THIS IS COMPLETLY UNSAFE TO HAVE THE CAR PULL IN ONE DIRECTION AND NOT TO MENTION THERE IS ONLY 19,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE BUT GM STILL REFUESES TO TAKE ACTION. ONLY IN THE EVENT OF A DEATH WILL THE ACT.
