2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, THE RADIO POPS, THE A C BLOWER IS INTERMITTENT AND THE DIRECTION SIGNALS STOP MAKING NOISE. THE FACEPLATE SCREEN GOES BLACK AND ALL ACTIVITY STOPS. THEN IT COMES ON AND OFF AT INCONSISTENT TIMES.

THE HIGH MOUNT LED BRAKE LIGHT IS MOUNTED ON THE REAR WINDSHIELD AT AN ANGLE THAT RECEIVES DIRECT HEAT FROM THE SUN CAUSING A SLIM CRACK ON THE BRAKE LED BOARD. THE CRACK WILL SHIFT BACK AND FORTH SOMETIMES ILLUMINATING WHEN BRAKING BUT AT TIMES THE SLIM CRACK ON THE LED BOARD WILL PREVENT THE LAMP FROM ILLUMINATING CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD TO PASSENGERS OF INSUFFICIENT BRAKE NOTIFICATION TO TRAFFIC FOLLOWING BEHIND. A REPLACEMENT LED LAMP WILL SUFFER THE SAME FATE BASED ON THE ANGLE OF THE LAMP POSITIONED FACING THE DIRECT HEAT OF THE SUN. I WAS IN MOTION AND PULLED OVER BY LE BECAUSE THE LAMP WAS OUT BUT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THE OFFICER AND I TESTED IT. MECHANICS INSPECTED THE LAMP AND FOUND THE SLIM CRACK ON THE LED BOARD THAT ALLOWED SHIFTING OF CONTACTS. DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPORTED THIS SLIM CRACK ON THE LED BOARD AS A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO THE INTENSE HEAT OF THE SUN BEARING DOWN ON THE LED LAMP WHICH IS ANGLED OUT WITH NO VISOR.

THE FACTORY RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON WITH BLINKING LIGHTS ON THE RADIO ITSELF ALONG WITH THE A/C UNIT SHUTTING DOWN AND BACK UP. THE TURN SIGNAL ALSO DO NOT MAKE ANY SOUND. SOMETIMES, IF I TURN-OFF THE CAR AND PULL THE KEY OUT AND BACK IN AND CRACK EVERTHING RETURNS AS NORMAL. ALL THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE POINTS TO THE RADIO. THEY JUST REPLACE IT WITH A AFTERMARKET. THEY DO NOT MAKE MY RADIO ANY MORE. SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DEVICE.

TAKATA RECALL, I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY CITY STREET WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I BELIEVE IT WAS A POT HOLE OR JUST UNEVEN GRAVEL LEADING MY KNEE HIT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IN THAT SECOND I HAD NO CONTROL OR CONTROL OF WHAT HAPPENED NEXT. I COULD NOT BRAKE, MY SEAT BELT LOCKED ON ME HURTING MY COLLAR BONE, THEN MY WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO TURN I WAS USING BOTH HANDS AGGRESSIVELY TO TURN AS HARD AS I CAN JUST SO I WOULDN'T HIT A BUILDING OR CAUSE DAMAGE TO OTHERS AND AS I WAS STERLING I WOULD KEEP PRESSING THE BRAKES AND THEY WERE JUST LOCKED. I HAD TO HIT A BARRIER OF WOOD TO STOP MY CAR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS WELL WHICH WAS VERY SCARY. I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IT WAS NOT MY FAULT, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED AND I KNOW IT'S BECAUSE OF THE KEY BEING BUMPED. MY RECALL # 14V346000 ACCIDENTAL BUMPING OF KEY IGNITION. I HAD NO IDEA THIS CAR HAD A RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT INFORM ME EITHER. I AM NOW CAR -LESS AND HOPING TO GET SOMEWHAT TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE AND I DON'T WISH THIS ON ANYONE. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN BLINDED BY THE SUN BECAUSE OF THE USELESSNESS OF THE SMALL SUNVISOR. THIS HAS OCCURRED BOTH WITH FRONT VISIBILITY OR TRYING TO SHIELD EYES FROM THE SIDE WINDOW. MY PASSENGERS HAVE ALSO BEEN EFFECTED THE SAME WAY. THE VISORS ARE NOT DEEP OR LONG ENOUGH RESPECTIVELY TO BE OF ANY VALUE. THIS CONCERN IS MORE SEVERE WHEN EXPRESS WAY DRIVING OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WHICH I HAVE RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED AND PROMPTED THIS REPORTING.

RADIO CUTS ON AND OFF. RADIO WON'T TURN ON ATA ALL AND WHEN RADIO IS OFF BLINKER CLICK NOISE WON'T SOUND, DOOR OPEN WON'T SOUND, AND SOUND SIGNALING YOU LEFT KEYS IN IGNITION WON'T SOUND. SOUND INDICATING REVERSE IS ENGAGED ALSO WON'T SOUND. THIS HAPPENS WHEN BECHILE IS STATIONARY AND MOVING. IT WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF IN CITY AND HIGHWAY. A/C WILL ALSO TURN OFF WITH RADIO.
