The steering wheel I have for starters, is not the correct one that is suppose to be with the vehicle. It should say -€œCamaro-€ on the center of the steering wheel instead of having a Chevrolet logo on it. It-€™s also not symmetrical to the vehicle interior, it-€™s too big for where it is placed and doesn-€™t match up with the drive train. It poses a risk because it starts to shake after I go a certain speed and is also wobbly when I first start driving like something is loose inside of it. The seats also are not the original seats that the vehicle came with and have been replaced by idk what brand it is but it-€™s not a safe one because there are visible wires underneath the seat that aren-€™t covered and it causes me back pain after driving for the smallest amount of time. I have to reach far back to retrieve my seatbelt and it-€™s very inconvenient due to the strain it puts on me. I bought the car from this allegiances motors place and they allegedly inspected it and also did a safety inspection but they have not yet provided me with a legal safety inspection sticker and when I went in person about the issues I-€™m having they said buying was wrong with the vehicle. They coerced me in to signing a paper stating the airbags being deployed were unknown so I-€™m possibly driving around with no air bags in the vehicle which is highly alarming ne has I do drive with children in the backseat. It seems like all the components are slowly malfunctioning especially when I do not respond to the text messages of the car salesmen I bought the car from. They won-€™t provide me with any information regarding the air bags and let me know what they-€™re going to do in regards to fixing the visible wiring problem and ensuring I-€™m driving around with air bags that haven-€™t been deployed. Also, when I put my vin number in the system it showed me a picture of a convertible which is also pictured on the owners manual that came with the car, and it-€™s not a convertible. It-€™s just a regular ol coupe.

The key will not come out of ignition once car is in park. In the event of an emergency, driver no longer has access to keys, driver is unable to leave car, battery drains (electric issues are already an issue that GMC will not address) and in the event driver is inexperienced at mechanics- this could lead to multifactor injuries. Issue has been reported in other make/models for YEARS, GMC refuses to address issue. In order to bypass this issue, owners must take apart steering column, release the Anti-Theft wire that enters the seliniod. Dealerships charge hundreds of dollars, sometimes never addressing the issue, to correct this problem. This key drains the electrical system, which will essentially cause complete failure to the car or a fire- which are happening more and more. A parasitic battery drain occurs due to this issue, resulting in consumers attaching trickle charging units (recommended by dealers). Instead of correcting the anti-theft wiring issues along with the switch blade key fob, a single key was issued along with the defective key fob and dealerships are asking owners to replace their "shifting units" to correct the issue of the key not coming out of the ignition. This is a safety issue that will lead to death; a car fire, a home emergency, a mechanical necessity require immediate need for keys, an internal combustion, a car parked in neutral or a car left running to avoid the hassle of not getting the keys out of the ignition.

2015 Chevy camero convertible intermittently shuts off while driving in traffic. Also, the dash goes blank and the gas petal does not get it to accelerate. Very dangerous and happened today in 102 degrees but on colder days as well. Should have a recall with many online complaints to this issue

The steering is making a noise when it make turns and is stiff when turning. The key will not come out of the ignition when I put the car in park. I have to put it into gear several times and back into park before it will come out.

Almost 5 years after driving the vehicle off the lot and the warri has expired my airbag light can't be repaired by the nearby dealership for < $400. No really as of yet. While driving a month off the lot my vehicle was T-boned on the passenger side by a hit & run driver. Every since my steering wheel vibrates.

Takata recall.... 2015 Chevy Camaro.....while driving my vehicle dems like it floats left and right on the highway....ive checked tire infaction and everything is correct...ive spoke with certain dealers and mechanic.....and hey say alignment...suspension...or steering components...I take very good care of Y cars...and this car only has 30,000 miles on it...so cant see why it would be anything with suspension or steering...but no one will give me wa straight answer without charging me $200 to look at it first.

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.

I was driving on a city street approaching and intersection with a green light and made a moving right had turn onto the perpendicular street. As I proceeded through the turn and started to allow my steering whee return to center in which the steering wheel is moving in a counterclockwise direction, the "paddle shifter" located on the right side of the steering wheel caught in the cavity / void in the key fob / remote entry fob and prevented the steering wheel from returning to center. I had a car on my rear while making the turn so I couldn't just stop, the car was now headed to the right curb and a concrete railroad bridge wall. I pulled on the wheel to the left to try to center the wheel and straighten the car but the wheel wasn't moving to the left. I gave a very hard pull to the left and heard my keys go flying across the car and the wheel was now free and I regained control of the car. After I had control of the car again I noticed that the key had broken from the excessive force I applied to free the steering wheel. This all happened in a few seconds in moving morning rush hour traffic. As soon as I was able I pulled over to access what happened. I concluded that noting was wrong with the steering linkage or power steering system, but rather the remote access key fob had caught on the paddle shifter and locked up the steering wheel from returning to center while making the right turn. Typically my teenage son drives this car. I discussed this whit him and he had also had the same issue with the paddle shifter getting caught int he remote access key fob, but not in moving morning rush hour traffic. I reported this to GM case # 8-4304277679, but they told me they were not going to investigate it and were not familiar with this or a a similar problem. This is a serious safety concern and something needs to be done. Please advise. See pics.

Purchased on 2/14/15-2 days after purchased car seat began squeaking & driver seat cushion frame replaced. 2 weeks later the car was having steering issues & popping noise while driving. The car was service on 3/10/15 & replaced propeller shaft flange nut, clean & apply thread adjusted rear camber on rr and rear toe adjusted rf camber & adjusted front toe. On 3/16/15, car was serviced due to cracking noise from underneath & the differential carrier drain or plug replacement was made; in addition added friction modifier to rear differential to reduce noise, on this repair attempt I was also given a new 2015 Camaro which also had squeaking noise coming from the passenger which I informed mac haik of and they stated they needed to check all vehicles to see if this was an issue. On 3/27/15, car made knocking noise on stopping & take off the car was driving with GM tech brian who heard the same noise coming from the front of car. Per repair order it stated that the noise was not able to be duplicated, however was advised by techs that all suspension was taken down & placed back together, swooshing noise that I hear when backing up both were not able to be duplicated per mac haik. On 5/5/15, the radiator hose came loose per the repair order clamps were not placed on properly. I have all records of speaking with GM reps as well as mac haik reps and to no avail was I able to get help. I have an attorney as of today and GM was giving one final attempt to make the car right on 5/21/15 for all issues with the car: Swooshing noise, cluncking noise while driving, wobbling noise when driving at 50mph or more, clicking noise when putting car in gear, car smells of overheat, on left turn heard a loud spring popping noise from car. The car was giving back to me on 5/22/15, and per the tech there was not repaired, simply just looked at.
