When I drive my knee turns the key, causing a the car to turn off. This is a safety issue that is concerning I am a mom. Every time my knee hits the part key while the car is on it turns the car off. The heater is an issue I have air but no heat. In order for me to fix the heater I told they would have to remove the entire window, but I would have to sign a waiver, because the window could break. Then they would have to remove the dash and another part in order to fix the heat in the car. This is in my opinion a safety issue I don-€™t understand how the heater could be fixed without causing the window in the car to possibly break. I was told the chances of the window not breaking in order to fix the heater in the car is nearly impossible. Which means I would have to buy a window and pay for labor in order to fix the heat in the car. 1. I have an ignition issue my knee is turning off the car when I drive. 2. Fixing the heat in the car is nearly impossible. 3. Please help check for recalls

The audio sounds are not working including no blinker sounds. No radio sound. No radio working in and out and screeching sound while driving distracting driver, no seat belt sound warning, no key left in ignition sound warning, all safety issues and there are thousands and thousands of complaints about the same thing and you guys keep ignoring it. You need to do a recall ! someone is going to get killed if it hasn't already happened. ! especially the seat belt warning and radio scaring people going on and off. !

Our 2014 Chevy Camaro ss power steering would lock up on us when we were driving and would jerk and we wouldn't be able to steer the car and it was very scary especially when you were going the speed limit on the interstate going 65-70 mph. My husband was coming home from court on 9/8/20 and it was also our 10 year anniversary and it locked up on him and the next thing he knew he was hit by a lady and he was on the side of the road and our car was totaled and he dont even have any recolition of what happened the impact of the lady hitting him knocked him out and he is lucky to be alive he suffered a broke arm and had to have surgery to have a plate and screws put in to repair it and we dont have a vehicle now. We had just purchased the car the end of May 2020. We seen a recall on the steering locking up and the Chevy dealer said they couldn't replace it because the VIN number wasn't on recall. How can a vehicle that is doing the same exact thing as the same exact vehicle with a different letter in the VIN not be on recall for the same exact defect? my husband is lucky to be alive and now we are left with no vehicle. Can someone please tell me how this is possible id like to have my vehicle replaced due to this recall that was defective in my vehicle. We have a friend who had the same issue and they told him the same thing about his VIN so he traded his Camaro in for a different vehicle. I would love to have my car replaced or repaired because of this issue/recall. Im uploading a picture of what my Camaro looks like now.

The wheel locks randomly not allowing me to remove my key from the ignition. It happens all the time- sometimes I wait like 5 minutes until it releases on its on but others I wait over 30 minutes and it won't release my key. I can't sit in my car in the middle of the night waiting for my car to release the key.

I was driving in the city and my 2014 Chevy Camaro 2lt rs stopped working. It just completely shut off while driving and the steering locked up. This is a big safety hazard as it could've happened on the highway. In order for the car to drive again, the car had to be put in park, turned off, and restarted. This happened multiple times in the past week and it keeps happening over and over. A recall is mandatory for this life endangering hazard.

When parking the car and shifting to park, the ignition release solenoid is not being energized. Preventing me from switching the ignition completely off and being able to remove the key. I tried slamming the gear selector in park to active the switch but to no avail. Took the vehicle to ted britt Chevrolet in sterling, va and they could not replicate the problem.

The steering rack makes a pulsing noise around corners and the steering cuts in an out of power assist mode. This has happened since the vehicle was nearly new with 752 miles on it when I purchased it. There was a recall for several units, but this car was not included. I believe the recall extends to this car and probably several others as many people on the forums complain of the same issue. The car does it constantly around corners, and I would be happy to let and NHTSA investigator drive the car. This car is also making the clunk from the rear under NHTSA#10114259. I believe the vehicle should be recalled for the steering and I also believe NHTSA#10114259 should be a recall and not a tsb.

Ignition will not shut off, key continually gets stuck in ignition. Have to restart the vehicle and turn off multiple times to get the key out. The dash control showing temperature controls levels, times, outside temp, etc goes in and out (short?) heat stays on and cannot adjust due to being out. Come out to the garage in the morning after being off all night and not working to the screen being lit up blue showing display items as it should while on and working, mind you the car if off turn car on the and the display shuts off again.

The key will get stuck in the ignition daily and I have to restart engine and shift into reverse and then shift back into park for the key to be removed. This process has to be completed several times before the key can be removed from the ignition. And one more issue my steering wheel makes a weird whiny noise as I turn it. It sounds like whale songs. Took it to dealer ship but they didn't fixed my issue.

The ignition key will get stuck after putting the car in park and can take up to five minutes of cycling the key on/off. The car has 33,000 miles. The dealer suspects there is a defect in the transmission neutral safety switch which prohibits the release of the key until it's in park.

Takata recall- several issues cant get key out of ignition when put in park, radio screen locks up and goes blank while driving or stationary, heater got extremely hot and froze so it could not be turned off while traveling on hi way with no where to pull off. Took to dealership several times but always seemed to work for them. Asked for them to document since I was getting close to warranty expiring. Also hear a clunk each time I use brake. Backfired and loss power when trying to pass a car on freeway. Passenger seat two way motor had short or defect would cause seat to get stuck in high position at various times and has completely stopped working with seat touching roof, not sure if smaller person would be safe if airbags go off in this position. Also key came out while someone else was using car.since all these things happen fairly soon after purchase I thought maybe I didn't know how to properly use the cars options or controls. When taking to dealership it would be fine and they always said it has to do it for us to or they cant fix it. That's why I asked for them to document. My car is now at 36,600 and doing some of the things again.when calling dealer they only had some of my complaints documented.
