TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY. IN ADDITION, THE CHEVROLET ICON ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ICON USUALLY ONLY ILLUMINATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SIX TIMES IN ONE DAY. EVERY TIME THE CHEVROLET ICON ILLUMINATED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARMAX (21636 KATY FREEWAY, KATY, TEXAS 77449), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A CHEVROLET DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

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.

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN WAITING FOR A BREAK TO ENTER THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC . TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND NOT MOVING FOR A SECOND OR MORE AND A VEHICLE THAT HAD STOPPED MOTIONED FOR ME TO ENTER THE ROAD IN FRONT OF HIM , A RIGHT TURN, AND AT THAT MOMENT I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR AND REALIZED WITH NO NOTICE THAT THE CAMARO ENGINE WAS NO LONGER RUNNING, AND I WAIVED THE COURTEOUS DRIVER ON. WHEN I LOOKED CLOSELY AT THE IGNITION WITH THE SWITCHBLADE SWINGING ON THE KEY WRING AND REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED I BROKE OUT IN A COLD SWEAT! THE IGNITION HAS THE EQUIVALENT OF A HAIR TRIGGER. IF I HAD ENTERED TRAFFIC WITH THE POWER THIS VEHICLE DELIVERS WITH THE SWITCHBLADE SWINGING TO THE RIGHT THE CAMARO WOULD HAVE CUT OFF LEAVING ME AND ANYONE NEAR ME IN POSSIBLE DANGER.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2014 CHEVY CAMARO AND WHEN THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HWY,SITTING STILL OR ON A CITY STREETS. THE CHEVY CAMARO RADIO WILL TURN IT'S SELF OFF. SOMETIMES THEIR IS A LOUD THUMP NOISE BEFORE THE RADIO TURNS OFF AND OTHER TIMES NO THUMP. IT WILL SOMETIMES COME BACK ON AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, OR IT MIGHT STAY OFF. THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM, BECAUSE I HAVE READ OTHER POSTING CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2014 CAMARO. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR A WEEK AND THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LESS 6 TIMES. NOT HAPPY ABOUT PURCHASING THIS CAR NOW, IF THIS IS HOW IT'S GOING TO BE. I'M ONLY 23 YEAR OLD AND I CANT AFFORD TO HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP.
