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?
Ignition key won't turn to the off position sometimes unless you wiggle the shifter and the button on the shifter. The car will turn off but you can't remove the key from the ignition until it is in the off position.
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 key fob has the replacement where the key was removed from the fob and added separately. I purchased my car in December of 2018 and it had only a few times where the key would get stuck in the ignition, after restarting or moving the gear shift it would eventually come out. Now my key is getting stuck in the ignition every time I stop my car.

There is a problem with the ignition. Not able to take the key out. This is the same problem the 2010-2014 cameros had the recall. The car is out in park and turned off. But the ignition will not release the key.
There is something wrong with the electrical of the radio and A/C units on these models. When driving, the radio and A/C automatically shut off and makes this loud popping sound through the speakers whether the radio is turned on or not. It almost sounds like something hitting the car and it is extremely dangerous and distracting to the driver. I thought it was just my vehicle that this was happening too but when I looked on you tube I found other Camaro owners with the same model having the same issue. I contacted General Motors but they said wanted to me to pay to diagnose the issue which made no sense because they should do so out of concern for the safety of the driver and others on the road. After telling me that was my only option the customer service agent told me that they don't even decide recalls on their vehicles and that they have to be issued by the NHTSA
Hissing sound in center console / passenger side. Multiple forums suggest heater core issues with same description. The main issue the part is 75$ but tucked away so tightly the cost is a around 2000$ to repair. This could cause the car to over heat quickly and do irreversible damage.
Key sticks and will not come out of ignition, multiple complaints are noted to be online regarding this same problem. This happens when you park your car and put it in park, and go to remove the key and it does not come out. This happens often. I will put a date below, but it has happened many times not just once.
My steering wheel makes a squeaky noise whenever I make a turn. It started out only making the sound sporadically. It is now making the noise louder and every time I make a turn while driving and even when I turn the wheel while parked (I tested this to see if it would make the sound all the time). This has been happening since April 2018. As of the past two days, my key now gets stuck in the ignition when I cut the car off. The key will not turn all the way so that I can take it out.
When placing car in park, key will not release from the steering column. I must start the car and move the shiftier out of park and back into the part position several times.
When the vehicle is shifted into park and the key is cycled back to the off position, the key will not release from the ignition switch on the steering column. I contacted my dealer and they indicated that the 2015 Camaro did not have any such issues reported and no recall was indicated. I believe the issue to be related to a faulty sensor or switch connection at the transmission, resulting in the vehicle computer or ignition switch not registering that the vehicle is actually in park. I turned the key to the on position (without starting the car) and cycled the gear shift back and forth a couple of times and switched the key back to the off position and the key was released. This is happening every day! frustrating to say the least. If I can't get the key out, I can't lock the vehicle which would potentially result in my property or the vehicle itself being stolen. This problem applies while parked on a dry level surface and a sloped dry surface.
My car completely died (turned off) on me while I was in drive two times. The throttle booster has had problems bc a warning comes up on the screen that says engine power low and in the owners manual it says when that comes up on your screen or your service my thingy then please take it in to your dealership to get fixed so obviously sherry knows that there's a problem with it but rather than fix it do you rather us deal with it a warning comes up on the screen that says engine power low and in the owners manual it says when that comes up on your screen or your service my thingy then please take it in to your dealership to get fixed so obviously sherry knows that there's a problem with it but rather than fix it do you rather us deal with it. When I first got this car the air conditioner didn't work all the time. Now my navigation seems to be kind of not working properly because it won't stay frozen on the screen for a while or it tells me that is trying to initiate navigation for about 30 minutes.
My 2015 Chevrolet Camaro convertible has suddenly developed a problem removing the ignition key after turning it off. The problem started off intermittently then got worse. Took it to the dealer and the service manager came out to look at it. He immediately moved the shift lever and the key came out. He did it like he has done it many times before. I asked if it was a known problem and he told me no. After doing research, I discovered it is a problem widely known by dealers but never admitted! fortunately my car is still under full factory warranty but I believe there are many, many other people that have had to unnecessarily pay for a repair that was the result of poor design. I also learned that it only is a problem with automatic transmissions and manual transmissions do not have this problem. The problem is with the linkage between the gearshift and the ignition key release. When I go to park the car I never know if it will give my key back or not! I have an appointment to get it fixed, but this is an obvious and well known problem!
The key gets stuck in the ignition every time I park, it's causing me to be late everywhere I go. The other night, my key stayed stuck in the ignition until the morning. This could cause my battery to die and other issues.
