The radio makes a loud pop & makes me jump as it goes on & off whenever it wants to. As this happens, the dash light turns off, the heater/ac turns off, the signal lights stop flashing, & when the turn signal is activated it makes a loud static noise that flashes through the speakers. It is a safety issue because it's distracting & it's dangerous for signal lights not to work properly. The car only had 60,000 miles when this began. I've been told there are computer chips, ECM modules, a new stereo with On Star navigation & I honestly can't remember all that was tested wrong with the electrical system that is estimated at $1000 to repair. I have seen numerous complaints of the same issue on the web. I sincerely believe it is a problem Chevrolet is aware of & a recall should be made before an accident is caused.

There is a distracting pop in the radio which also affects the signal lights, the heater and air conditioner controls, and the controls for the radio itself. There are numerous complaints on the web for this same year vehicle with the same problem. It is very distracting as when the radio pops it makes a loud noise that is similar to running over something or hitting something with your vehicle. Also the tail light on the driver side won't stay on and the headlight on the passenger side has a short in it also. These problems I have been listed numerous times on the web. I have had several service mechanics look at it and they haven't been able to fix it as of yet. I recently read online. There is a short in those radios. But the radio is still is listed as at $700. I don't have this kind of money to replace it. And I'm not sure if that will fix the problem or not. I wrote to Chevrolet when it first happened about 35,000 mi ago. I got a reply that they didn't have enough complaints yet. I don't know if they ever looked on the web because at the time there were quite a few and they are still listed today. This was the year after I bought my car which would have been 2018. It's a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro LS. Please assist as this affects where I go as I am afraid that something will happen to my car since it affects so many things already. I don't want it to cause other problems as these are more than enough to affect my driving. My car had approximately 30,000, mi at the time this incident began.

When I purchased it 3 years ago, the driver side white tail light would work, then it wouldn't. Bulb & fuse are fine. Now it doesn't work at all. Radio turns off & on with a pop sound through the speakers while driving at random times.

FOR OVER A YEAR THE RADIO IN THE CHEVY CAMARO HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING (SHUTTING ON AND OFF EXCESSIVELY), THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE AFFECTS MY VISION WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT IT HAS CURRENTLY ESCALATED TO PREVENTING TURN SIGNAL AUDIO THEREFORE I CONTINUOUSLY HAVE TO CHECK TO SEE IF TURN SIGNALS ARE WORKING AND WILL NOT KNOW IF THEY STOP WORKING. THIS IS NOT A STAND ALONE PROBLEM WITH JUST MY CAMARO AND I HAVE REVIEWED MANY OWNERS OF CAMAROS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS ISSUE OCCURS WHEN IN MOTION. AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATER IS EFFECTED AT TIMES ALSO.

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!

Official recalls
3Jul 2, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Regal, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro and Chevrolet Impala vehicles. Improperly torqued fasteners may cause the steering intermediate shaft and the steering gear and/or the lower control arm and the lower ball joint to separate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If any of the components separate, the vehicle may have a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM began to notify owners on June 27, 2014, and dealers will inspect the fasteners for correct torque, correcting them as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac) or 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). GM's number for this recall is 14378.
Jun 20, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling all 2010-2014 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles manufactured December 3, 2008 to May 23, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position could cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will remove the key blade from the original flip key/RKE transmitter assemblies, and provide two new keys and two key rings per key. The recall began August 25, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14294. Note: Until the recall has been performed, it is very important that drivers adjust their seat and steering column to allow clearance between their knee and the ignition key.
Sep 26, 2013
General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Coupes manufactured June 9, 2013, through September 6, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the required air bag warning label on the sun visor may peel off. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208 "Occupant Crash Protection."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the air bag warning label detaches from the visor, the driver and front seat passenger may not be warned of the risks of air bag deployment, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and instruct owners how to inspect the visor sticker. As necessary, dealers will replace the sun visor, free of charge. The recall began on October 28, 2013. Owners may contact GM at 1-800-521-7300. GM's recall campaign number is 13284.
