ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

55 complaints

Radio/HVAC/Audible Chimes (available for inspection). My and others safety are at risk every day when driving this car. First the radio does not work at all the HVAC controls are tied into the radio and they work intermittent (windows fog) the whole center dash shuts off and on around every 3 seconds. It is very distracting at night flashing from when I start it until I shut it off and I have a one hour commute. I no longer have chimes like keys left in ignition, lights on, and hazard lights are also effected. Everything worked fine prior to radio failure. Has not been inspected by dealer. Ran off roadway into ditch lights flashing startled me and I jerked the wheel to the left with minor damage.

Crash: 1

The radio, HVAC control panel went blank. The radio, fan, blinker sound and HVAC indicator lights cycle on and off. Unless functionality is disconnected, you can’t drive without the radio going on and off, the speakers crackling, and the panel screen blank not allowing visibility of HVAC position. The problem has been reproduced by the dealer. And the internet reports the same issue from multiple owners with similar vehicle. The dealer and Chevrolet technical assistance center TAC have attempted to diagnose the problem without correcting the problem as of yet. Chevrolet has not taken responsibility for for correction or offered cost assistance. The condition first appeared as the radio going on and off uncontrollably, speakers crackling, and the panel going blank.

Apparently it is a known issue with repair shops. The 5th bow of the convertible top is a faulty part that when bent causes leaks within the vehicle. These leaks bcome massive and could cause mold within the rear floor panel. I've replace the part in 2018 and now 2024. However, the repair shop is now telling me the part is nolonger manufactured and can be located in the country.

PLEASE HELP ME. I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH ROTOLO CHEVROLET IN FONTANA, CALIFORNIA PROVIDING ME WITH A NEW REPLACEMENT KEY IN EXCHANGE FOR THE CAMARO KNEE-KEY RECALL NO. 14V346KEY WITHOUT CHARGE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR WITH THE ORIGINAL KEY THAT CAME WITH THE CAMARO, MY SAFETY IS AT RISK, AND ROTOLO CHEVROLET IS WRONGFULLY CHARGING $506.00 FOR THE RECALL REPLACEMENT I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO (VIN: [XXX]) AND I ONLY HAVE THE ORIGINAL KEY THAT CAME WITH THE CAR WHEN PURCHASED IN 2013 (SEE PICTURES). ON SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 2021, I HAD AN 11:30 A.M. APPOINTMENT WITH ROTOLO CHEVROLET IN FONTANA, CALIFORNIA TO REPLACE MY ORIGINAL KEY DUE IT BEING RECALLED. ROTOLO CHEVROLET ADVISOR [XXX] SAID I HAD TO PAY $506.00. [XXX] SAID THAT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE ORIGINAL KEY (HE HELD MY KEY PERSONALLY AND CONFIRMED IT WAS THE ORIGINAL; NOT A RECALL REPLACEMENT TWO-PART KEY) HE CANNOT REPLACE THE KEY UNLESS I PAY FOR IT AS HIS PAPERWORK SAYS THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED. I EXPLAINED HIS RECORD IS INCORRECT AS THE ONLY KEY I HAVE IS THE ORIGINAL. WHILE AT ROTOLO CHEVROLET, I PLACED AN ORDER FOR A NEW KEY EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT AGREE WITH BEING CHARGED $506.00 FOR A RECALL REPLACEMENT KEY. I HAD TO CONTINUE WITH THE PROCESS TO ORDER A NEW KEY BECAUSE OF MY SAFETY. DUE TO THE RECEIPT STATING DECLINED REPAIRS, I CALLED ROTOLO CHEVROLET ON MONDAY, APRIL 5, 2021. I SPOKE WITH ALMA AND SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO EXPLAIN MY RECALL KEY MATTER WITH A MANAGER ([XXX]), AND TRANSFERRED ME TO [XXX]. REGARDING THE ERROR ON THE RECEIPT STATING I DECLINED THE REPLACEMENT KEY. I ONLY DECLINED THE CHARGE OF $1,492.00, DUE TO A SHORT IN THE CONNECTION TO MY ONSTAR AND RADIO. THIS WAS TOO EXPENSIVE. THEY ALSO CHARGED ME $180.00 FOR NO WORK DONE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY RADIO FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS NOW. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN I PRESSED ON MY BRAKES IN A CITY STREET AND THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS. I FOUND IT ODD, BUT IGNORED IT INITIALLY. THIS PROBLEM STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE REGULARLY, WITH A STRONG ASSOCIATION BETWEEN THE RADIO TURNING OFF AND BACK ON TO USING THE BRAKES ON MY CAR. OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS, THE PROBLEM BECAME MORE SIGNIFICANT, HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY DURING MY DRIVES, AND NO LONGER ASSOCIATED WITH BRAKING, IT WOULD JUST HAPPEN RANDOMLY NOW. THE RADIO WOULD TURN ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY DURING MY DRIVES, WHETHER I WAS ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. AT THIS POINT, MY AIR WOULD ALSO TURN ON AND OFF WHEN THE RADIO WOULD START GLITCHING. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I WOULD TURN ON MY CAR AND THE RADIO JUST WOULDN'T TURN ON AT ALL. THERE WAS ONE TIME THAT IT TOOK 20 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE FOR THE RADIO TO FINALLY TURN ON, ONLY FOR IT TO START TURNING ON AND OFF AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM CAN BE VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. AS A RESULT, I HAD TO REMOVE THE RADIO FROM MY CAR AND I JUST DRIVE IN SILENCE. THE AIR NO LONGER TURNS ON AND OFF AND I CAN DRIVE PEACEFULLY, EVEN THOUGH I WOULD LOVE TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO WHILE I DRIVE.

STEERING

15 complaints

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that while driving 37 MPH and approaching a curve in the road, the “Service Power Steering” warning light illuminated, and the steering wheel seized. The contact used an excessive amount of force to steer the vehicle and drove to a nearby parking lot. After the vehicle was parked for approximately 6 hours, the contact restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle regained power steering functionality. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who refused to service the vehicle due to its age of the vehicle. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

Apr 07, 2025

The steering has become hard to turn the vehicle. Vehicle is a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro with a V8 engine. GM issued Service Bulletin PIC5643D which includes 2013 Chevrolet Camaro Equipped with any V8 Engine (RPO LS3 or LSA or L99) but when I called GM, they said there are no special actions as the steering doesn't come up under the VIN and recommended filing this complaint with the NHTSA. They could give no information regarding repairs only recommending taking it to a dealer. A quick Goggle search reveals GM is aware of the problem but doesn't want to address it unless the NHTSA forces them to do so. Consumers have spent thousands of dollars trying to fix this issue to no avail. Loss of steering has caused some consumers to crash posing a significant danger to society as a whole. Please force GM to address this issue for the safety and security of society as a whole. There is currently a recall for the ignition swich which GM said has nothing to do with the steering issue.

Jun 24, 2024

I was driving and the car lost complete power and a message appeared that indicated Service Power Steering. This has happened twice once at approximately 45 to 50 miles per hour and the second time turning at about 10 miles per hour. The car started shaking right before the failure with the power steering.

MY ZL1 CAMARO HAS HAD A ELECTRONIC STEERING (EPS) FAILURE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD. APPARENTLY, FAILURE OF EPS IS COMMON WITH THE CAMARO AND GM/CHEVROLET HAS A TSB ISSUED TO HELP DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE. TSB DOCUMENT IS PIC5643E. I HAVE ATTACHED IT HERE. THIS CAN HAS 40,070 MILES ON IT AND IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. THE CHEVROLET DEALER JUST DIAGNOSED THIS ISSUE, AND TRIED TO CHARGE ME $2600 FOR REPLACING THIS PART. THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM, AND IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITHOUT THIS STEERING WORKING. THIS IS ALSO A $60,000 CAR. NO ONE AT CHEVROLET IS DOING ANYTHING TO HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. I HOPE THIS COMPLAINT WILL BE HELPFUL TO SOMEONE IN THE FUTURE.

MY STEERING COLUMN CAME COMPLETELY OUT AND PINNED ME BACK TO THE SEAT AND ALMOST WENT THROUGH THE ROOF OF THE CAR. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS HIT AT AN ESTIMATED SPEED OF 60-65 MPH. THE GUY NEVER HIT HIS BRAKES BUT HIT ME AND PUSHED ME THROUGH THE LIGHT. PICTURES ARE POSTED. THE SCRATCH MARK IS OF THE ROOF, WHERE STEERING COLUMN ALMOST WENT THROUGH IT. GM DID SEND AN ENGINEER DOWN TO MY HOUSE TO INVESTIGATE, HE WAS THERE 5 HRS AND WHEN HE LEFT HE WAS STILL SHOCKED THAT A REAR END AND IT DID THIS. HE DID SAY THAT IF I HAD OF BEEN HIT IN THE HEAD AREA I WOULD BE DEAD. I DID HAVE SURGERY ON MY LEFT THUMB AND WRIST I HAD A RUPTURE OF THE ULNAR COLLATERAL LIGAMENT WITH AVULSION TO MY LEFT THUMB. SURGEON STATES I WILL NEVER BE 100% AGAIN..

SHORTLY AFTER I START MY CAR AND TURN ON THE RADIO A LOAD POPPING SOUND WILL COME THROUGH THE SPEAKERS AND THE SOUND FROM THE RADIO WILL GO OFF. THE RADIO PANEL WILL STAY LIT, BUT NO SOUND WILL COME OUT AND THE BUTTONS ON THE RADIO WILL NOT WORK. IT ALSO WILL NOT ACCEPT A CD. IT WILL STAY LIKE THIS FOR AWHILE. THE NEXT TIME I START CAR IT WILL DO THE SAME THING. IT USED TO DO THIS RANDOMLY AT FIRST WITH NO RHYME OR REASON FOR IT. IT STARTED MORE THAN 6 MONTHS AGO AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE. IT USED TO PLAY A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE POPPING SOUND AND NO SOUND. NOW IT ONLY STAYS ON SECONDS, POPS AND GOES OFF. SOMETIMES IT WON'T WORK AGAIN FOR HOURS OR DAYS. AT FIRST I HEARD LOUD STATIC IN MY SPEAKERS WHEN I USED THE TURN SIGNALS, BUT NOT ANYMORE. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AN SPECIFIC PATTERN. I DO SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME OR VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR CAMAROS. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL. IT'S OBVIOUSLY A BIG PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF CAMARO OWNERS ARE HAVING. IT HAPPENS WHEN IT'S STATIONARY AND/OR IN MOTION.

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ABOUT THE HILL ASSIST FEATURE ON THIS MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE. THE FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO AUTOMATICALLY HOLD THE BRAKES ON AN INCLINE AND IS SUPPOSED TO RELEASE ON APPLICATION OF THE THROTTLE. IT DOES NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD! IT ENGAGES RANDOMLY EVEN WHEN NOT ON AN INCLINE AND DOES NOT RELEASE QUICKLY ENOUGH TO PREVENT ENGINE STALLING OR EXCESSIVE WEAR TO THE CLUTCH BY OVER REVVING THE ENGINE TO PREVENT IT FROM STALLING! THIS CAUSE A BURNING SMELL AND EXCESSIVE WEAR TO THE CLUTCH! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN THAT I HAVE TO PULL OUT ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY FROM AN INCLINE EVERY DAY WHERE I LIVE AND HAVE TO TRY TO OVER COMPENSATE FOR THE DELAY IN GETTING THIS HILL ASSIST TO RELEASE SO I CAN PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC MOVING AT 55 MPH! I HAVE HAD IT TO THE SELLING DEALER (CARL BLACK CHEVROLET) MULTIPLE TIMES AND SPOKEN WITH CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE! THEY ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE! IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT EXTENSIVELY IN THE CAMARO :FORUMS ONLINE! THE REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE! THEY TELL ME TO BUY AFTERMARKET PARTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM WHEN THERE ARE GENERAL MOTORS PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX IT! I FINALLY GAVE IN AND ORDERED THE GM PART TO HAVE INSTALLED AND FIX MYSELF! I AM AN ASE MASTER AND L-1 CERTIFIED AUTO REPAIR TECHNICIAN WITH EXTENSIVE GM TRAINING! THEY NEED TO FIX THIS BEFORE ME OR SOMEONE ELSE IS KILLED!

Dec 17, 2014

THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A "HILL ASSIST" FEATURE FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION CARS. IT DOES NOT RELEASE PROPERLY OR ACTIVATES IMPROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HOLDS EXCESSIVELY LONG ON INCLINES, WILL NOT RELEASE WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC OR EVEN ACTIVATES ON LEVEL GROUND WITH NO INCLINE! I HAVE COMPLAINED MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE GENERAL MOTORS SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHEN I TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE AND IT HAS BEEN CHECKED REPEATEDLY. IT IS ALWAYS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED!" I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE SERVICE PERSONNEL INCLUDING THE SHOP SUPERVISOR AND THEY ALL KNOW IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES! IT SEEMS TO BE A JOKE THAT THE SYSTEM OPERATES SO POORLY EXCEPT THAT I BELIEVE IT IS INEVITABLE THAT IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. EITHER TO MYSELF OR TO SOMEONE ELSE. THE MESSAGE BOARDS ARE FULL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FEATURE AND IT IS UNIVERSALLY DESPISED BY EVERYONE ON EVERY VEHICLE IT IS INSTALLED ON! I HAVE ASKED FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED OR REMOVED BY THE DEALER YET THEY TELL ME THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO SO. THE MESSAGE BOARDS HAVE FOUND A WORK AROUND SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING A YAW SENSOR WITHOUT THE LATERAL ACCELEROMETER THAT THE VEHICLE USES! I AM WILLING FOR THE DEALER TO DO THIS AT THEIR EXPENSE NOT MINE, BUT THEY REFUSE. IT IS A GM PART INSTALLED ON A GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE AND DOES NOT DISABLE THE STABILITY SYSTEM. ONLY THE HILL ASSIST PORTION. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE CLUTCH AND BRAKES AS I HAVE LEARNED TO OVER REV THE ENGINE TO DRAG IT OUT OF THIS LOCK POSITION TO SMOOTHLY MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. I AM COMPLETELY AWARE OF THE TECHNOLOGY AS I AM AN ASE MASTER AND L-1 CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN WITH OVER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING INCLUDING GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIPS! *TR

3rd brake light randomly goes dim online thousands of people have the same issue, it needs to be a recall. Light diodes are getting bad and the other half are cracking from the heat of the window. Chevy changed the like to the trunk lid. Seems suspicious to me. Chevy needs to make it right.its federal law to have a 3rd brake light.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED IN EXTREMELY HUMID WEATHER, THE ENTIRE FRONT EXTERIOR WINDSHIELD BECAME FOGGY DUE TO THE COLD AIR BLOWING FROM THE TOP DASHBOARD AIR VENT. THE AIR FLOW EMITTED FROM THE VENT WITHOUT THE DEFROSTER CONTROL SETTING ENGAGED. THE DEALER INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700. .... UPDATED 10-17-13 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE ISSUE APPEARED TO BE A DEFECT IN THE DESIGNED AIR CONTROL SYSTEM. UNDER THE CURRENT OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM, WHEN IN THE AIR CONDITIONING MODE WITH BI-LEVEL, OR FOOT LEVEL SELECTED, WHETHER USING RE-CIRCULATING AIR OR FRESH AIR, THE SYSTEM DELIVERED COLD AIR TO THE WINDSHIELD THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD VENTS. THE AIR CONDITIONED AIR COMING OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD VENTS CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO GET COLD. IN HIGH HUMIDITY , THIS CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

Hello, My name is Sharris Bridges, I’m the owner of a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro. I currently can’t defrost my car and can’t see the road because I have no heat. The Chevrolet Camaro has a issue with the blend door (temperature control door). It’s a piece of plastic that breaks which causes you not to have any heat. I was told by the dealership I would’ve to get the dash and windshield taken out just to get the blend door fixed. The bill they showed me was $20+ (majority in labor) for a issue that plenty people are having with the Camaro. This should be a recall! I’ve no heat, I can’t defrost my car, and more. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K0jajaoc-ro https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s0gakV_mGiY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Py-2ukNVAGs https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tL3CaKzVKm4 Consumer stated they’ll need to take out the windshield and dash to get to the area which needs fixing.

BUT AFTER 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE RADIO CUTS OUT AND ISN'T AS LOUD ANYMORE. I'M ALSO BEGINNING TO NOTICE MY TURN SIGNAL IS CUTTING OUT AS WELL. IT'S SLOWING DOWN. AS IF THE BATTERY IS BEING DRAINED. I NOTICE WHEN U TURN OFF THE CAR ALMOST EVERY TIME THE RADIO WILL TURN OFF COMPLETELY BEFORE I OPEN THE DOOR. I CAME ACROSS SOME OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUES. MOST WHO BELIEVE THAT THE UNIT BEHIND THE RADIO DISPLAY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. WHICH IN MY CASE SEEMS TO BE THE ANSWER.

BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR LEAKING AND DRIPPING OVER ENGINE INTERNALS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GM: SEE SERVICE BULLETIN: 09-05-22-005C. HOWEVER, GM IS STATING THIS WILL NOT BE REPAIRED UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. UPON ENCOUNTERING SOME BRAKING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE, I INSPECTED THE RESERVOIR AND DISCOVERED THE LEAKING FLUID, WHICH HAS STARTED TO EAT AWAY AT THE PAINT IN THE ENGINE BAY. I'M VERY CONCERNED THE FLUID WILL LEAK OUT AND CAUSE A FIRE, OR CAUSE MY BREAKS TO STOP WORKING COMPLETELY.

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE 41,000 MILES. (FEB 2015) AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES IN A DAY, YOU CAN FEEL A CHANGE IN THE VEHICLE DRIVE AND THE RPMS REDUCE TO UNDER "2" AND THEN DOWN TO "1", THE CAR THEN DISPLAYS THE "!" "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" WARNING. 3 EMERGENCY LIGHTS COME ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN SAFE, I PULL OVER AND TURN THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON, TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. FOR A FEW SECONDS THE "STABILTRAK" WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. THE CAR THEN DRIVES SLUGGISH AND WILL NOT GO OVER A 40 TO 60 MILES SPEED. THIS CONTINUES TO GO ON EVERY 3 TO 5 MILES. WE HAVE BEEN TAKING THE CAR TO DEALER AND THEY HAVE REPLACED A CONNECTOR, WIRING HARNESS AND A ECM MODULE. AFTER A FEW MILES OF DRIVING THE SAME SITUATION OCCURS. THIS LAST TIME WHEN I SAFELY PULLED OVER TO A SIDE STREET AND TURNED ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS A CAR ALMOST REAR-ENDED MY VEHICLE. THE REDUCED SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IS CAUSING A FRIGHTENING DRIVING EXPERIENCE BECAUSE OTHER DRIVERS DO NOT REALIZE THAT MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING ENGINE REDUCED SPEEDS THAT I HAVE NO CONTROL OF AND I CANNOT EXIT THE FREEWAY UNTIL AN EXIT RAMP IS AVAILABLE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY DUE TO THE RE-ENTERING ONTO THE FREEWAY WITH DISRESPECTFUL DRIVERS WHO CAUSE LIFE THREATENING ISSUES. RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ON LINE IT SEEMS THERE ARE TOO MANY WITH THE SAME ISSUES. I DID READ THAT THE ONSTAR SYSTEM MAY BE CAUSING THE CONFLICT??? THIS ISSUE HAS BECOME VERY TIME CONSUMING AND EXPENSIVE WITH THE MISSING OF WORK. HOW DO WE GET THIS CORRECTED. IT STARTED AT 41,000 MILES AND WE NOW HAVE 91,000 MILES. WE DO HAVE A PREMIUM EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 125,000 MILES. THE WARRANTY COMPANY SAID THAT GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD / MUST CORRECT THIS ISSUE AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE.

My 2013 Camaro had 89k miles, garage kept in excellent condition. My vehicle had never given me any issues and has impeccable maintenance records. I was pulling out of a parking spot when my engine started riving and jerking and I accelerated while in reverse and hit a concrete post behind me. I applied the brake and placed the car in drive. My car took off with a high speed of acceleration with my brakes still applied, and accelerated out of control. It followed the same path back into the parking spot ( I could not stir it) jumped the curb and ran through a brick wall finally coming to a stop in the middle of the business. The engine was still racing and in drive but the car had finally stopped and in a state of rest. I had to put the car into park and kill the engine. I could not control the car, the engine was racing with high rpm’s on its own, and driving in “ auto pilot” for lack of better term. Not one air bag deployed despite the fact I ran through a brick wall and totaled the car.

THE HEATER FAN COMES ON FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS AND SHUTS OFF FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS. THIS OCCURS CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL I SHUT THE CAR OFF. EVERY TIME I START IT THE SAME THINGS ARE HAPPENING. WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF, I CAN HEAR A BUZZING COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE DASH THAT LASTS ABOUT 5 TO 7 SECONDS AND THEN STOPS FOR 5 TO 7 SECONDS. THIS WILL CONTINUE FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES. IT DOESN'T DO IT EVERY TIME. (11/07/2018) WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TODAY THE TRUNK OPEN LIGHT CAME ON, SO I PULLED OVER AND WENT TO THE REAR OF MY CAR AND IT WAS NOT OPEN.

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.

I HAVE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO THE GM REPAIR FACILITIES ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FOR AN ISSUE THAT I FIND UNSAFE AND UNSETTLING. AS THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELLING ABOVE 50 MILES PER HOUR OR GREATER IT WILL MAKE AN UNCOMMANDED RIGHT OR LEFT TURN SOMETIMES ACCOMPANIED WITH A FLASHING TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE LATEST EXCUSE I RECEIVED FROM A DEALER IN FLORIDA WAS THAT "GENERAL MOTORS" STATES THIS IS ACCEPTABLE AND IS TROUGHING. THE EXPLANATION WOULD BE REASONABLE IF THE TENDENCY TO TURN WAS MINOR. THIS TENDENCY TO TURN IS HARD AND 90 DEGREES. I HAVE PAID TO HAVE EVALUATIONS COMPLETED ON THE ALIGNMENT AND THE TIRES HAVE WORN UNEVENLY / ON THE OUTER EDGES, BUT THE REPORTS INDICATE THE ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN GOOD. THE ROAD WAYS ARE TYPICALLY STRAIGHT AND LEVEL AND MOISTURE HAS NOT BEEN A FACTOR. MY WIFE AND I ARE BOTH DRIVERS OF THE VEHICLE AND HAVE BOTH EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE AND THE TECHNICIANS AT THE DEALERS HAVE REPORTEDLY EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE AS WELL BUT DID NOT LOCATE A CAUSE OF FAILURE. ONCE THE DEALER CONTACTED GM THE ISSUE WAS CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE BY SOMEONE ON THEIR END.

STEERING,SUSPENSION

1 complaint

I PURCHASE A NEW 2013 CAMARO FOR SON EARLIER THIS YEAR. THIS CAR HAS FEWER THAN 15K MILES AND EARLIER THIS MONTH MY SON WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AND ON THE STEERING WHEEL RETURNING BACK TO CENTER, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED THEN HE HEARD A SNAP WHICH RESULTED IN HIM HITTING THE CURB. THE SNAPPING SOUND WAS PROBABLY THE SOUND OF THE RIGHT CONTROL ARM SNAPPING IN HALF AND THE BENDING OF THE TIE ROD. I FILED A CLAIM WITH GM AND THEY DECLINED ALL CLAIMS EVEN WITH THE MANY RECALLS ON GM CARS INCLUDING THE CAMARO HAVING STEERING WHEEL LOCKING ISSUES. I COULD HAVE LOST MY SON AND I'M SIMPLY ASKING THAT GM COVER THE REPAIRS. THIS HAS BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTING AND STRESSFULLY ON MY FAMILY. *JS

STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

1 complaint

I DROVE MY CAR THROUGH MY GUARD GATE AND PROCEEDED TO TURN THE CORNER AT APPROXIMATELY 25MPH WHEN I LOST COMPLETE STEERING OF MY CAR AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. LUCKILY I WAS NOT AT A HIGH SPEED WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR ON THE GRASSY EMBANKMENT OF OUR LAKE, AFTER MY CAR RIM WAS SNAGGED BY A 2 FT THIN METAL POST ATTACHED TO A TREE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE CHEVY DEALER WHO IMMEDIATELY HAD ME FILE A CLAIM WITH GM AFTER NOTICING THAT A PART ON THE STEERING OF THE CAR WAS FAULTY AND CAUSED A COLLAPSE OF THE STEERING RACK. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT LIGHT CAME ON EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO COLLISION NOR DEPLOYMENT. BY THE WAY, GM DECLINED THE CLAIM EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY PART AND I AM CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INSURANCE COMPANY, CHEVY DEALER AND GM TRYING TO DECIDE WHO IS PAYING FOR THE REPAIR OF MY VEHICLE 6 WEEKS LATER. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND ALL PARTS ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR WITH NO AFTER MARKET INSTALLATIONS AT ALL. *TR

1 complaint

I HAVE A MANUAL V8 MODEL. WHENEVER STOPPED ON AN INCLINE, THE HILL START ASSIST (HSA) ENGAGES. THE FIRST TIME I GAVE IT PLENTY OF THROTTLE AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT DISENGAGE AND CAUSED ME TO STALL. THE 2ND TIME, I HAD THE RPM VERY HIGH AND AGAIN THE BRAKES WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. MY CAR WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN UNDER THE STRAIN. WHEN IT FINALLY RELEASED THE CAR, I WAS GREETED WITH THE SMELL OF BURNING CLUTCH. THIS CANNOT BE NORMAL. I DON'T THINK HITTING 2000 RPM AND DROPPING THE CLUTCH SHOULD BE A NORMAL METHOD TO OVERCOME TEH HSA SYSTEM. I HAVE AUTO HILL BRAKING ON OTHER VEHICLES THAT ARE NEARLY INVISIBLE TO ME AND WORK FLAWLESSLY. I BEEN DRIVING MANUAL CARS FOR 20+ YEARS AND HAVE NO ISSUES ON HILL STARTS. ONE OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES IS THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN OFF THE HSA FEATURE. I THINK YOU NEED TO FORCE GM TO RECALIBRATE THE SYSTEM AND/OR ALLOW THE DRIVER TO TURN THE HSA FEATURE OFF. *TR
