Problems with 2014 Chevrolet Camaro ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Signal lights, safety hazard lights and the radio stopped working.

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!

The stereo and the a/c and the console lights turn on and off randomly while driving. also, there is a loud popping sound coming from the speakers every time it cuts off. many others have complained about this problem on the web.

The radio is making a loud popping noise and black out the air goes out with it it sounds like something hit the car and the key gets stuck in the ignition. the lights flicker on the climate control panel.

Radio would shut off randomly, sometimes wouldn't even turn on. my ac does the same thing. sometines it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Radio shuts off randomly during driving city streets and at highway speeds. blowers will sometimes shut off when the radio turns off. dash lights also flicker 5-10 times when radio shuts off and after turning the car off. when pulling the key from the ignition, speakers pop loudly. extremely distracting and dangerous. no issue with battery or alternator. gm says they don't know about the issue, however there are multiple videos on youtube and forums online of this issue. apparently there's a possible solution by cutting the 18th wire, furthest white wire to the left behind the stereo face plate. this problem needs to be recalled.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet camaro. after parking the vehicle, the contact was unable to remove the key from the ignition. the contact left a voicemail message with dyer chevrolet vero beach (located at 1000 us-1, vero beach, fl 32960, (772) 617-4793). the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 10,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet camaro. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the computer system went out and came back on after a couple of minutes. there was no warning. 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.

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.

Center console lights turn on and off. loud popping sound from speakers. radio constantly turning off and then coming back on, really loudly. happens when driving and sitting still. constant flipping on and off of radio.

The car is less than 5 years old and has less than 25k mi on it, this is a well documented problem, such as nhtsa complaints, youtube videos and forums in which people have the same exact complaint, among multiple years and models of chevrolet camaro's. the radio needs to be replaced, the issue affects multiple things including safety. however at this point with all the complaints gm has not performed a recall and is stating that they will not cover this under a known manufacturer design flaw. the safety concerns are that the radio will flicker on and off, come on and off disabling the ability to control it, while making very loud crackling and popping sounds at excessive volume, flashes on and off making night driving a hazard. while this issue happens it also disables the navigation, the onstar, the heat/ac fan controls as well as volume controls. there are hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands of folks with this problem. and as such, i have also recorded the issue while it was happening and read a myriad of reviews, complaints and watched videos. i believe that gm and chevrolet need to be held accountable. my car is extremely well maintained and has very low mileage for its age. when the company knows about this problem and hears from consumers and yet does nothing about it, is ludicrous. i believe they should be performing a recall as this is a design flaw in which can cost up to at least 1000k to get repaired.

center console lights started turning off and on around christmas time 2018, accompanied by a loud popping sound from speakers. then the radio started turning off and on constantly accompanied by the same loud popping sound. blinkers sometimes trigger radio problem and they do not always work properly. radio console finally blew out permanently in jan 2019, unable to listen to music, and afraid to drive the car. contacted both gm and chevy dealership in pawley's island; told me no recalls, would have to bring in for analysis; however indicated that it would cost around $1,000. how would they know the cost unless they know the problem? i also have video evidence.

When driving on a side road the vehicle was going about 35-38 mph straight when a vehicle failed to yield from stop sign on right hand side road. he made a left turn in front of me going fast due to a vehicle blocking his sight of view. i preceded to slam on brakes to avoid a t-bone collision. the car came to a stop my knee hit the ignition switch and the vehicle cut off in the middle of the street lights and all. i then had to put the vehicle in park in order to get it started again.

Radio/ac controls intermittently turn on and off. this occurs when vehicle is both stationary and moving. noticed first occurrence on 12/22/2018, as i just recently purchased this vehicle. has continued with this issue since first occurrence.

Key gets stuck in ignition. engine turns off, but key won't come out of ignition. happens often. i've taken it to the dealership and they can't get it to replicate. i've notice it seems to happen more often when on a slight incline, but also occurs on a flat surface, like in my garage. remedy i've been told by dealer is the take the car back out of park and slam it back into park. it does work, sometimes after a three tries. just seems like i shouldn't have to abuse the shifter to release the key.

When accelerating the vehicle shut off 3 times in the same day when switching from 1st to 2nd gear. i was forced to cycle the ignition , put the car in park , and res-start the car in the middle of the highway. i was scared out of my mind because i though the keyfob recall was to prevent this from happening. this wasnt the case and my 2014 chevrolet camaro automatic 6cy shut off 3 different times in the same day when accelerating.

Radio plays then makes a loud pop. also blinks repeatedly. using blinkers or brakes at times will cause radio to pop loudly then go off completely. radio will not come back on unless you stop and turn off ignition and restart. radio may work for 30 seconds or 30 minutes. sometimes when you useblinker the sound will come through the radio loudly and will not stop unless you turn the car off. i cannot turn radio off when any of this is happening. on various forums i have seen many complaints from many users of this same thing happening to their cameros. there are youtube videos showing supposed fixes so this problem has affected many. a radio should last. i've seen reports of replacing radio with factory parts and it happen i g again. i say this is electrical because radio acting up is affecting other parts of the car, blinkers, brakes etc. this all will happen if car is being driven or still. it happens every single time i use my car. this started around june 2018

This problem i am having since i bought the car, during winters the heater wont turn on, the only way to start it is put the blower on windscreen and turn up the blower to max than it will start. i complained it to dealership and they said they didnt find anything, i made a video just for record too. also it makes tick tick sound specially in morning when you press brakes.

When i shift from drive or any other position at least 50% of the time when i shift to park i am not able to remove the key from the stearing wheel column lock. most of the time if i turn the key to on take the shiffer out of park an put it back in park it may allow me to remove the key. there have not been able to get the key out. so far when i have not been able to get the key out it has been at home. my big concern is that i may not be able to get the key out when i am away from the house. very easy to steal a car with a key in the lock. the car is stationary when this happens.

While operating the stereo it makes a popping sound and turns off and back on. when it comes back on there is no sound coming through the speakers but the head unit is still on. turning the car off and on restores the sound but it just goes back out. i see this is a very common problem and all the dealerships say if to replace the entire head unit.

Problems seem to be with 2013 and 2014 camaros. the radio system shorts after 20000 miles. multiple consumers complain about this system as it is a 2000 dollar or more repair with the dealerships

Key recall- since the key recall has been done about 3 weeks ago the last week we have been having issues with the car just dying in the middle of the road. it loses all power and shuts itself off. i have contacted onstar and had them do a diagnosis and they couldn't find anything. this is a huge safety issue. it almost completely died in rush hour traffic on the freeway. thank goodness that i was not on a busy street when it did die completely. i lost all power steering, and all it would do is coast. i did have the key recall done on my car and apparently it is more than just the key that is the issue. this makes me scared to drive my vehicle on a freeway. i don't know when it will die and hopefully not cause a huge accident.

At times a/c won't turn on which has been an issue for about 2 years, and now radio malfunctions not allowing for a/c or radio functions. signal lights makes strange sound when in use. power goes out in that entire system making the entire system reset itself to manufacturer settings. this happens whether the auto is parked or while driving.

My car was part of the ignition switch recall in 2014. for the past week, whenever i park the car i can not get the key out of the ignition. the dealership explained that the problem is being caused by the shifter not communicating to the car that it's in "park" so it won't release the key. they also told me that since my car has 55,000 miles, the repair will not be covered under warranty because it's electrical and considered part of the "trim". they informed me that the repair would be in excess of $600.00. i am extremely unhappy because i can't afford this repair and this is my only mode of transportation. the car is pretty much un-drivable at this point unless i want to get stuck somewhere.

Stereo going in an out. heat and air improperly working and blowing only when radio works.

Car ignition keeps hanging up and will not release key upon shut off. traveling between states, a burning smell began to come through the vents, the car shut off without warning traveling 70 mph on the highway, remaining lit and appearing fully functioning. it struck me as very familiar to the ignition issue i have had for the way the car shut off and began to act. upon stop and actually switching off, car would try to crank, but did not catch. after towing to dealership, car cranked and drove as usual. check engine light indicated low fuel pressure, after diagnostics for the third time the dealership is still insisting nothing is wrong with this car. key ring has a total of 3 keys and lightweight, definitely not weighing down the ignition. this is definitely computer related, electrical and affecting the mechanical ability of the car as well as the safety of the driver. i see numerous complaints about this issue online, no recalls have been found and chevrolet is not correcting this despite numerous car fires reported and accidents probably caused.

1st problem, the left speaker started a loud screeching noise while the radio was still playing. i had to stop the car and turn off the engine to stop the noise. 2nd problem, when i hit a bump in the road, the radio shuts off. i can't get local stations. only sirrus station. now when i turn the steering wheel too hard the radio shuts off then comes back on. now while driving on the high ways, the dash board lightsturns off by them selves momentarily then turns back on. also because of these problems, i turn the radio off... and while driving the radio turns on by itself. driver-side back -up light was replaced visibility /wiper needs replacing wiper fluid squirt dosen't work effectively .. maybe nozzle is clogged d

My chevy camaro has a safety recall on the key fob ignition system. the key was found faulty and would turn off while driving. chevy's solution was to remove the switchblade key fob and give me an ordinary key. the problem is that the paddle shifter on the steering wheel still comes in contact with the key while turning, therefore turning off the ignition. while turning off the key, it also breaks the key in half. this has happened to be 3 times now while driving. 2 of the times almost resulting in collision. i am honestly scared to drive my car.

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.

While driving, the tapshift lever was caught in the key ring attached to the key in the ignition. this caused the car to shift out of gear, as if being put into neutral, so that the car slowed very suddenly and dangerously. this happened only when making sharp right turns, as when turning at an intersection. this occurred several times throughout the day, until we realized that the tapshift lever was only able to get caught on the keyring when the steering wheel was fully lowered. adjusting the steering wheel height resolved the issue. *tr

Recall notice 14v346 received for ignition key replacement from gm in august 2014 and dealer notice of past due service recall for this same safety issue also received november 2014. when i called today to get my 2014 camaro safety repaired the service provider at the dealer where i purchased the vehicle said the parts are on back order and would not make an appointment for the safety repair?! she advised me to call back in 10 days. gm must really be concerned about my safety to not have safety recall parts available for repairs. also, i previously purchased an additional ignition key with transmitter from the dealer for this vehicle. why will gm not also replace this transmitter/ignition key under this safety recall? *tr
