This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The radio/info screen comes in and out of service. Usually accompanied by the sound of static thru the radio speaker. It also affect the heating and cooling unit of the vehicle. The "short" happens when the brake pedal, clutch, or turn signals are activated. The event can also occur randomly. The vehicle can be stationary, or in motion. It doesn't matter if it is city or highway driving. It acts like a short and is definitely not a fuse problem. More likely something in a relay or programming. It happens randomly, but the activation of the brakes, clutch, or turn signals can spark the problem. The info screen is an integral unit of the vehicle and it is tied into so many other functions of the car. There are numerous records of the problem on youtube and on chat lines in the computer. A potential "fix" shown on youtube did not correct the problem on my vehicle.
The key gets stuck in the ignition preventing me from turning the car off. This occurs intermittently, but when it happens, I have to restart multiple times. Sometimes putting the car in reverse, straightening the steering wheel and putting the car in drive works, but not always. This has been occurring for the last month...
Radio keeps going out randomly thus also affecting my turn signals, hazards, and ac/heating. My ac and other lights will start blinking and the radio will not turn back on unless I park and turn the car completely off. This has happened with many other Camaros, this is a hazard and must be fixed.
The stereo has a "short" as determined by my local dealer. The local dealer also informed me that this is a "well known issue" for this generation of Camaros. The issue causes the stereo and all connected systems to short, turn off, then turn back on. During each cycle of this process a loud pop comes from the stereo speakers that is similar to a balloon popping in close proximity to an individual. Currently this will wither happen once after startup with the radio not turning back on for the duration of the trip, or will happen repeatedly during the duration of the drive. In the situation where the radio shorts and stays off for the remainder of the drive, none of the audio warnings for the car will work while stereo is shorted out. This includes but is not limited to seat belt warnings, low fuel warnings, door ajar warnings, reverse gear notification (manual transmission), engine overheat warning, power steering warning, transmission overheat warning, parking lamp notification, headlamp notification, parking break warning, ABS warning, blinker chime. The popping sound made by the radio while it is shorting can be very distracting while driving and there is no way to turn it off. It can also be unexpected and startling and may cause reactions from the driver. While the radio is shorted out the audio chime for the blinker does not work. There have been several instances where the blinker's audio chime was not operative for the entire time the vehicle was running. In the manual transmission vehicle the reverse gear audio notification does not operate when the radio is shorted. This can cause a driver to unexpectedly place the vehicle in reverse when attempting to quickly shift to 1st gear. In normal operation the vehicle emits a notification sound when the vehicle is placed into reverse along with a R displayed on the gauge cluster.
My car stereo and sound system stop working completely this is ridiculous that Chevy refuses to make a recall when there are so many cases online with people having the same problem of theirs stereo cutting in and out. This is theft. 700$ to fix a problem that almost every year Camaro has 2010-2015. Ridiculous.

Radio, turn signals, display, hazard light go out intermittently ( multiple times per day ). loud electrical pops. Represent a safety issue. Vehicle can be moving or stationary
Vehicle's radio and climate control flashes on and off and sometimes do not come on at all. Turn signals do not make sounds when in use. If I use my brakes, clutch, turn signal, or power windows, radio and climate control go off and on rapidly. Bluetooth doesn't work. Regardless if the car is in motion or not, this is a continuous problem since I purchased the vehicle.
I have a 2015 cameo the key won't come out the ignition when this first happened to me I called GM just to be rudely talked to the second time it happened my radio went out and it stop my heat and air from working when I first got this car I purchased it brand new just to find out it was rusty under the bottom but they fixed that and I've been having problems every since nothing works in my car the seats won't go up in down until they get ready I've tried to contact GM but they won't return my emails this electrical problem is driving me crazy and I'm paying to much for this car to miss up like this I have less than 70 thousand miles on it and I still have some kind of warranty on it.
Whenever I turn my engine off and park 9/10 the key gets stuck in the ignition. I have to sometimes start my car up 2-3 times again in order to get it out.
The car navigation screen went completely black nothing can be seen on the screen nor heard through the speakers. I tried replacing fuses and even unplugging the battery to reset the entire car but nothing is working to get mylink screen back on and working.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro. Upon starting the vehicle, the Chevrolet my link home screen failed to function properly. When the failure initially occurred, the screen would operate intermittently while the vehicle was in drive. Eventually, the screen ceased to operate completely without warning. The contact spoke with edwards Chevrolet downtown (1400 3rd ave N, birmingham, al 35203, 205-716-3330) and was informed that a diagnostic was needed to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
I own a 2015 Chevy Camaro that my key gets stuck in the ignition. I have had issues over the last two months where the key gets stuck in the ignition and it cannot be removed or my car has to be started and moved several times to get the key out. I was told my car would need a new shifter because of electrical issues and I had a 3 year 36K warranty when I purchased it ( I was told) but GM would not reimburse me for this almost $500 expense. I have owned the car for almost 2 and a half years and it had under 36K miles when this happened. If I left the keys in the car and someone saw that, my car could be stolen and who knows if the person ended up driving crazy and ended up killing themselves or someone else. Would I be held responsible for this being I had no choice but to leave the keys in it? there should be a recall for this issue due to safety. I took the money I had and fixed the car because it was not safe to keep using the car like that. GM should be held accountable and recall these cars and fix this problem before something bad really happens. They should not wait until something does happen. GM called me today and said they will not reimburse me for the expense. They need to be held accountable for this problem. I am not the only one with this issue. GM recalled the key fob because people were hitting it with their knee when driving so they need to fix this problem too. This is just as bad because of the chance someone can steal the car with the key stuck in the ignition.
When parking and powering the vehicle off, the key remains stuck in the ignition. I have to repeated power the car on and off, re-placing it in park for the key to finally be released... also, the radio often powers off and on, causing my dashboard to go dark. When this happens, I also cannot hear the turn signal indicator when making a turn. These issues have been happening for some time now...from what I have read in the complaints, this is an issue with many Camaro owners. Why is there no recall for this?
While driving the vehicle, it shut itself completely off. The vehicle quit driving and I was unable to accelerate but was able to pull over. The dash display went completely blank and it was as though the power had been completely shut off. At times the key has been difficult to remove after parking the vehicle, but this seemed to be a different issue. After the car shut down, I pulled over and put the gear in park. I then removed the key, reinserted the key, restarted the car and it worked fine. It was very unsafe for the car to randomly just quit driving/working. Luckily I was in a residential area with little traffic.
My Chevrolet 1ss Camaro 2015 key gets stuck in the ignition when put in park. This started the first year owned it but dealership was very helpful they showed me that the automatic shifter has to push forward to feel a click. That worked until now. The car will not release my key quite frequently now and it takes turning car on and off a few times before it releases key. This can take some time and be embarrassing. Own a nice car and have that problem really makes you look bad and can cause me to have to leave key in car sometimes. This happens when car is put in park no matter where I am.
I was exiting the freeway and came to a stop sign. The freeway exit has about a 30 degree slope of incline. I accelerated and then the vehicle lost power, I pulled over and parked to inspect the vehicle. Everything looked fine. I then turned the car on, put the vehicle in drive and drove about 10mph. I then slightly turned the key in the off position and the vehicle shut off. I can replicate this issue and turnng the key while in drive does not require much force.
With vehicle placed in park ignition will not release key. Vehicle shifter has to be returned to drive and then back to park to release key. This procedure may need to be repeated several time to release key.
