We have classified the 57 complaints from 2014 Chevrolet Camaro about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM into the following categories.
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, ...
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.

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 ...
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.
