My ignition problem my key always got stuck everytime I turned off vehicle.
- Phoenix, AZ, USA
Newly licensed son was driving down busy 4 lane road when car shut off. He was able to make it to the side of the road safely even though steering became very hard and no acceleration, car started right back up, however we worry about next time. We just purchased the car at the a local Chevrolet dealership. They gave us one key fob, we had to purchase a 2nd key. They would only make a key and fob separately. There is a problem, we believe with the ignition switch. Have checked, it appears to be an issue but there is no recall. Other Chevrolet vehicles with the same issue have recalls, but this one does not??

Radio keeps cutting in and out.
- Orland Park, IL, USA
My radio has been turning off and on.then after 2 months of doing that my radio completely shut off. When ever I put my signals I'm not able to hear them. Which I believe it's a risk because I'm not aware if I have them on or not. I have heard that I'm not the only one with this problem. The dealership won't take responsibility for this.

- Middleton, NJ, USA
Radio turning on and off and making a loud popping sound even volume is turned to lowest setting. Every turn signal, brake, bump, door lock or even opening or closing window it affects the radio and dash board lights then starts blinking and popping sound. Sometimes radio is off completely for hours then lights on the dashboard just keep blinking. Turn signal works but you cant hear anything. It's hard to drive at night coz sometimes the dashboard is completely dark barely you can see your speedometer. Brought to gilroy Chevy/GM dealership and had them do diagnostics spent almost $300 and they found nothing and fixed nothing.

Sometimes when I turnoff the car, the keys doesn't come out, I have to seat in the car for about 5mins for the ignition to release keys, sometimes it takes more than 5mins so I have to leave the car open and go back to check if keys are release. What happens is the key position doesn't allow me turn the key all the way to the point where the steering lock clicks and allow keys out, it only stays in the position of when you turn off your automatic transmission car when it's not on park.

- Fairmont, MN, USA
I own a Camaro 2015 ls V6. I was driving on a highway at about 35mph, I accelerated and then my car completely shut off. When I looked at my key in the ignition I saw that it had turned into the off position while in drive. I know GM has had multiple recalls due to their ignition switch for the flip-key fob (recall is N192223230), but I am now having the same issue. My key is not attached to the fob, but I show the same symptoms. This is now causing an intermittent connection and the car may stall while driving due to this issue. I believe this is also part of the ignition switch failure recall and should be investigated.

2015 Camaro - safety systems attached to radio module. Radio module keeps going out, when radio module goes out, all audible warnings are no longer present, including turn signals, seat belt notification for passengers/driver. This is a known issue on several different Camaro forums, and has been reported to Chevy, no action has been taken to resolve this issue. This is a safety issue for the driver as well as passengers. Its the drivers responsibility to ensure seatbelts are on, and the audible notifications help to ensure the safety of all passengers, in the event there is an error/malfunction in the engine/seat belt error/airbag errors.
- Raleigh, NC, USA
Key gets stuck in ignition. After several attempts of restarting my car it will finally release. It's getting far worse and I'm afraid it won't come out one of these times.lights flicker on and off the dash even without key in ignition. Loud pop through speakers and then heat/air won't work. Radio kicks on and off. Turn signal plays through speaker. Radio screen will go completely black at times. I only have 45,000 miles on this vehicle and have had these ongoing issues. When I took the vehicle to the dealership they couldn't find an issue, but now it is happening more frequently. Attached picture is showing my radio and air lighting up without the key in the ignition. I'm afraid my battery is going to go dead.

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
- Orlando, FL, USA
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.
