IllustrationTHE WHEEL LOCKS RANDOMLY NOT ALLOWING ME TO REMOVE MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME- SOMETIMES I WAIT LIKE 5 MINUTES UNTIL IT RELEASES ON ITS ON BUT OTHERS I WAIT OVER 30 MINUTES AND IT WON'T RELEASE MY KEY. I CAN'T SIT IN MY CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WAITING FOR MY CAR TO RELEASE THE KEY.

WHEN PARKING THE CAR AND SHIFTING TO PARK, THE IGNITION RELEASE SOLENOID IS NOT BEING ENERGIZED. PREVENTING ME FROM SWITCHING THE IGNITION COMPLETELY OFF AND BEING ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY. I TRIED SLAMMING THE GEAR SELECTOR IN PARK TO ACTIVE THE SWITCH BUT TO NO AVAIL. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TED BRITT CHEVROLET IN STERLING, VA AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM.
HAD TO REPLACE STEERING GEAR (RACK AND PINION). CAR BEGAN LEAKING AND ALL THE FLUID CAME OUT SO COULD NOT STEER. CAR HAS LOW MILEAGE, 24123.

THE STEERING RACK MAKES A PULSING NOISE AROUND CORNERS AND THE STEERING CUTS IN AN OUT OF POWER ASSIST MODE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEARLY NEW WITH 752 MILES ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SEVERAL UNITS, BUT THIS CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. I BELIEVE THE RECALL EXTENDS TO THIS CAR AND PROBABLY SEVERAL OTHERS AS MANY PEOPLE ON THE FORUMS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUE. THE CAR DOES IT CONSTANTLY AROUND CORNERS, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO LET AND NHTSA INVESTIGATOR DRIVE THE CAR. THIS CAR IS ALSO MAKING THE CLUNK FROM THE REAR UNDER NHTSA#10114259. I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THE STEERING AND I ALSO BELIEVE NHTSA#10114259 SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT A TSB.

THE KEY WILL GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION DAILY AND I HAVE TO RESTART ENGINE AND SHIFT INTO REVERSE AND THEN SHIFT BACK INTO PARK FOR THE KEY TO BE REMOVED. THIS PROCESS HAS TO BE COMPLETED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. AND ONE MORE ISSUE MY STEERING WHEEL MAKES A WEIRD WHINY NOISE AS I TURN IT. IT SOUNDS LIKE WHALE SONGS. TOOK IT TO DEALER SHIP BUT THEY DIDN'T FIXED MY ISSUE.
THE IGNITION KEY WILL GET STUCK AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND CAN TAKE UP TO FIVE MINUTES OF CYCLING THE KEY ON/OFF. THE CAR HAS 33,000 MILES. THE DEALER SUSPECTS THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH WHICH PROHIBITS THE RELEASE OF THE KEY UNTIL IT'S IN PARK.
Official recalls
314V409000 · Steering
Jul 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.
14V346000 · Electrical System:ignition
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.
13V463000 · Equipment:other:labels
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.
