2014 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

WHILE DRIVING I SMELLED SMOKE. AFTER LOOKING AROUND I SAW MY BACK SEAT FULL OF SMOKE. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND WAS ABLE TO SAFETY GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE TRUNK POPPED OPEN WITH FLAMES COMING OUT. I HAVE A CONVERTIBLE AND THE TOP INSTANTLY IGNITED. THE FIREMEN WHERE ABLE TO PUT OUT THE FIRE BUT THE FIRE SPREAD THROUGH OUT THE CAR.

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.

HEATER CORE FAILED AND HAS A LEAK. IT IS MY WIFE'S CAR. SHE WAS PARKED AND IT WAS A COLD NIGHT IN SF BAY AREA. SHE GOT IN, STARTED THE CAR AND TURNED ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER. IMMEDIATELY SHE COULD SMELL THE ODOR AND THE WINDSHIELD FOGGED OVER. SHE COULD SEE MIST RISING FROM THE VENTS.

MY CHEVY CAMARO HAS A SAFETY RECALL ON THE KEY FOB IGNITION SYSTEM. THE KEY WAS FOUND FAULTY AND WOULD TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. CHEVY'S SOLUTION WAS TO REMOVE THE SWITCHBLADE KEY FOB AND GIVE ME AN ORDINARY KEY. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE PADDLE SHIFTER ON THE STEERING WHEEL STILL COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE KEY WHILE TURNING, THEREFORE TURNING OFF THE IGNITION. WHILE TURNING OFF THE KEY, IT ALSO BREAKS THE KEY IN HALF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BE 3 TIMES NOW WHILE DRIVING. 2 OF THE TIMES ALMOST RESULTING IN COLLISION. I AM HONESTLY SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED TO ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ROLLED INTO THE GARAGE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

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.
