Hello im reaching out due to a safety concern with my 2014 Camaro. The VIN in located in the subject line above. I reached out to GM letting them know that I was having issues with my stereo. The speakers are also affected when the problem persists.. the car will turn on and I will be able to play anything through the stereo, like the radio, a cd, an aux cord and even sirius xm but randomly the stereo has a loud noise that screetches through the speakers which cause a great amount of discomfort. Then the stereo resets and is only able to be used via aux at a lower volume amd even way different sound quality. Its very strange and really inconvienent while driving, a few times it scared me so abruptly that I almost wrecked due to an anxiety attack. Its a well know issue with this model from years 2011-2015 if you google "Camaro stereo problems" you will see a few different web forums comparing issies with this particular one being brought uo more than anything else. GM informed me that the only way of getting to the bottom of the problem is to take it in to get a diagnostics done which is out of my price range at the moment due to covid. But anyways all that should be put to the side when it comes down to being a safety concern. Thanks in advance. I know alot of ppl would love to enjoy a normal drive without being startled by a loud guitar amp popping noise. I miss good drives while listening to music with good quality.

The radio screen works fine, so does the bluetooth, volume knob, however, the car has lost complete sound capacity. No music, no chime start, no turn signal sound, no rear parking sensors warning sounds. Anything
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the radio and heating system failed to operate as designed, without warning. The vehicle has not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.
The radio makes very loud popping noise and all power cuts out to the display, turn signals, heating/cooling functions. This happens repeatedly every time driving the vehicle. The triggers are using the power windows, using turn signal, adjusting heat/ac, or putting the vehicle into reverse. Not only is it inconvenient to not have radio or heat/ac. It is also a safety hazard to not have turn signals and have very loud and distracting popping noises while driving. I have heard from other Camaro owners and every one of this model has the same issue around 40,000 miles.
Can not remove key from ignition when shutting off. Have to start vehicle multiple times and move gear selector multiple times before I get the key out. Car is in park. Unsafe to leave vehicle unlocked with key in ignition because it will not come out
When I turn the vehicle off, the key will not rotate to the lock position, and car only has 24,000 miles on it. After moving the gear selector many times from drive to park the key finally rotates to the locked position to allow removal of the key. During this summer the issue has been getting worse and worse, to the point I am afraid to drive the vehicle anywhere. I have also noticed when you enter the vehicle and just rotate the key to run position, it will lock up as well, not allowing the key to rotate back into the lock position. Then have to cycle the shifter for the tranny from park to drive multiple times to get it to rotate in to the lock positino for I can remove the key..
Key keeps getting stuck in the ignition when I try to turn my car off.. I have to keep starting and restarting my car and swivel steering wheel until it comes out.
While driving on the highway, my car's electronics shut off. The speedometer, tachometer, turn signals, hud unit, and radio stopped working but the car was still running and could be driven normally (responded to gas, steering was fine etc). I could not put the rear passenger window up but all of the other windows opened and closed. The convertible top would not work. After parking and restarting a few times the problem went away but eventually came back and happens all the time. I have made an appointment with the dealership to check this out. The following warnings display on the display: Service theft deterrent system service airbag service parking assistant service tire monitor system open, then close passenger window
Several electrical components fail while driving down the road. The turn signals stop working, the radio shuts off, the heads up display turns off, the speedometer turns off and the tachometer stops working. The car still runs and responds to the gas and brake pedals and the steering continues to work. This is extremely dangerous and very confusing and scary while driving the car. The radio stops and then turns back on. After looking this up on line, this appears to be a wide spread issue that GM needs to address and recall the components causing the issue.
Turn signal stop working, along with radio shutting off and on erratically, loud popping noises over speaker when using turn signals, radio cones on and off when applying brakes

The failure recurred several times. The contact called several dealers, including the Chevrolet of bend dealer, located at 345 ne 3rd St, bend, or 97701, and was informed that the failure was due to a hardware failure that was not worth spending money to repair, due to the age of the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The contact was provided a case number. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.
While traveling, the radio suddenly made a loud pop noise and the information panel went out...information panel began flickering on and off, also affecting the ac/heat controls and when using the blinker, it wouldn't make a signal sound. The lack of blinker sound leads me to wonder if the blinkers even work when this happens. This problem randomly happens and when it does, it's very distracting and the loud pop noise is extremely upsetting. I have found on numerous forums that this seems to be a major issue with the Chevy Camaro and GM doesn't seem concerned. I believe this is a major safety issue that needs to be addressed. It first happened to my car on Dec. 5, 2019 and has continued to randomly happen since.
I have stock everything on my Camaro. The radio, turn signals, and A/C glitch out all of the time. My radio will randomly glitch out sometimes with a loud noise coming from the speakers and sometimes quiet. I no longer have control of what station to listen to or the volume. Sometimes it happens every couple of minutes and other times every 10 seconds. If the rear defrost is on, the radio has no sound until I turn the rear defrost off. When I hit the brakes, turn on my high/low beams, or use my turn signal, the radio glitches. It also glitches without touching anything in the car what so ever. Also sometimes when I use my turn signals, it make my speaker sound like they are blown with a loud sound that does not stop until I shut the car off, remove the key, and open the door. Sometimes the sound keeps going even after that. The turn signal click sound doesn't add up to the light flashing anymore. Sometimes the air or heat will not turn on and the lights to that system flash repeatedly/quickly on and off every time the car glitches, door opens or closes, or car gets locked/unlocked. The ignition also tries to keep my key, and my car will not turn completely off until I can get my key from the ignition. I have been stuck trying to get my key out for a few minutes. This is after the ignition recall which did not help in any way possible. The clock has trouble keeping time because of how much it glitches out, and I have also noticed my head lights dim when it does. These problems are only getting worse! it started in December 2018 with just the turn signal making my speakers sound blown and over a matter of a couple of months it has gotten this bad. I'm worried to see what else happens. It needs to be recalled!
