2014 CHEVROLET CAMARO Complaints

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHEN PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED AND AIRBAG SYSTEM NOT FUNCTIONING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAMARO. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND TURNING ON THE STEREO, AN AUDIBLE, POPPING NOISE AND BURNING ODOR WERE PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

THE CAR IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 25K MI ON IT, THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM, SUCH AS NHTSA COMPLAINTS, YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND FORUMS IN WHICH PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME EXACT COMPLAINT, AMONG MULTIPLE YEARS AND MODELS OF CHEVROLET CAMARO'S. THE RADIO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THE ISSUE AFFECTS MULTIPLE THINGS INCLUDING SAFETY. HOWEVER AT THIS POINT WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS GM HAS NOT PERFORMED A RECALL AND IS STATING THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS UNDER A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DESIGN FLAW. THE SAFETY CONCERNS ARE THAT THE RADIO WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF, COME ON AND OFF DISABLING THE ABILITY TO CONTROL IT, WHILE MAKING VERY LOUD CRACKLING AND POPPING SOUNDS AT EXCESSIVE VOLUME, FLASHES ON AND OFF MAKING NIGHT DRIVING A HAZARD. WHILE THIS ISSUE HAPPENS IT ALSO DISABLES THE NAVIGATION, THE ONSTAR, THE HEAT/AC FAN CONTROLS AS WELL AS VOLUME CONTROLS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF FOLKS WITH THIS PROBLEM. AND AS SUCH, I HAVE ALSO RECORDED THE ISSUE WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING AND READ A MYRIAD OF REVIEWS, COMPLAINTS AND WATCHED VIDEOS. I BELIEVE THAT GM AND CHEVROLET NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. MY CAR IS EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE FOR ITS AGE. WHEN THE COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HEARS FROM CONSUMERS AND YET DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT, IS LUDICROUS. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE PERFORMING A RECALL AS THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW IN WHICH CAN COST UP TO AT LEAST 1000K TO GET REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS FAILED TO CHIME, THE FACE PLATE FUNCTIONS SHORTED AND DISPLAYED A BLANK SCREEN, AND THE RADIO SHUT OFF NUMEROUS TIMES. AMERICAN CHEVROLET (4742 MCHENRY AVE, MODESTO, CA 95356, (209) 575-1606) PERFORMED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE AND CHASE CHEVROLET (6441 HOLMAN RD, STOCKTON, CA 95212, (209) 475-6600) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. CHASE CHEVROLET STATED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THE 2011 TO MID 2015 MODELS DUE TO REPLACING THE SAME OEM RADIO. CHASE CHEVROLET DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND TWO FAULT CODES. THE DEALER UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND INDICATED THAT THE RADIO AND FACE PLATE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED ELECTRONICALLY. IF THE CONTACT ENTERED THE VEHICLE TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO, IT WOULD SHUT OFF IN LESS THAN FIFTEEN MINUTES, INCLUDING OTHER ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES SEVERAL TIMES AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON A RESPONSE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE CAUSING RADIO MALFUNCTIONS AND HEAT/AIR MALFUNCTIONS. AT TIMES MY RADIO CLOCK AND DATE IS OFF. THESE EVENTS HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR IS STATIONED. THE ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE STARTED TWO YEARS AFTER WE PURCHASED THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION. ENGINE TURNS OFF, BUT KEY WON'T COME OUT OF IGNITION. HAPPENS OFTEN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T GET IT TO REPLICATE. I'VE NOTICE IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN ON A SLIGHT INCLINE, BUT ALSO OCCURS ON A FLAT SURFACE, LIKE IN MY GARAGE. REMEDY I'VE BEEN TOLD BY DEALER IS THE TAKE THE CAR BACK OUT OF PARK AND SLAM IT BACK INTO PARK. IT DOES WORK, SOMETIMES AFTER A THREE TRIES. JUST SEEMS LIKE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ABUSE THE SHIFTER TO RELEASE THE KEY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WARNING INDICATORS AND GAUGES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SIR WALTER CHEVROLET (8501 GLENWOOD AVE, RALEIGH, NC 27612, (919) 787-3700) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

KEY KEEPS GETTING STUCK IN THE ADMISSION WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. IT WAS SPORADIC BUT NOW ITS EVERY TIME I GO TO PULL MY KEY OUT. I HAVE READ OF MANY OTHER CAMARO OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM

RADIO PLAYS THEN MAKES A LOUD POP. ALSO BLINKS REPEATEDLY. USING BLINKERS OR BRAKES AT TIMES WILL CAUSE RADIO TO POP LOUDLY THEN GO OFF COMPLETELY. RADIO WILL NOT COME BACK ON UNLESS YOU STOP AND TURN OFF IGNITION AND RESTART. RADIO MAY WORK FOR 30 SECONDS OR 30 MINUTES. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU USEBLINKER THE SOUND WILL COME THROUGH THE RADIO LOUDLY AND WILL NOT STOP UNLESS YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. I CANNOT TURN RADIO OFF WHEN ANY OF THIS IS HAPPENING. ON VARIOUS FORUMS I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FROM MANY USERS OF THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEIR CAMEROS. THERE ARE YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING SUPPOSED FIXES SO THIS PROBLEM HAS AFFECTED MANY. A RADIO SHOULD LAST. I'VE SEEN REPORTS OF REPLACING RADIO WITH FACTORY PARTS AND IT HAPPEN I G AGAIN. I SAY THIS IS ELECTRICAL BECAUSE RADIO ACTING UP IS AFFECTING OTHER PARTS OF THE CAR, BLINKERS, BRAKES ETC. THIS ALL WILL HAPPEN IF CAR IS BEING DRIVEN OR STILL. IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I USE MY CAR. THIS STARTED AROUND JUNE 2018

THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000.
