The 25 most recent of 26, in the owner's own words
The car powered off on me while driving on the interstate causing an extremely dangerous situation for me and other drivers without any warning, no signs the vehicle abruptly stopped I coasted to the side and avoided traffic and started right up but drove rough. It’s fuel and fluids in the car and no check engine lights were on.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that while the outside temperature was above 100 degrees, the vehicle experienced rough idling and, on several occasions, while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the local mechanic who replaced the fuel pump and battery, and the vehicle was repaired; however, later while operating the vehicle in extremely hot weather, the failure reoccurred. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 80,000.

This is the SECOND time that my "Serivce Stabilitrak" along with the traction light has gone off and the engine light blinks constantly, within less than a 6 month period. I paid almost $900, with a dealership coupon, at Grieco Chervolet in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for the exact same problem, less than 6 months ago; now the same issue occurred today, on my way to work. Uncontrollable shaking and speed. I see LOTS of complaints for this issue on this website, so I am NOT sure how there is NOT a safety recall for this vehicle. No one seems to take this concern seriously, until deaths are reported, I suppose. Shameful! This car is going to cause an injury or fatality, if some agency does not look into this concern, that many Chervy Camaro owners, are reporting.
I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. ONCE TRAFFIC WAS CLEAR, I MADE A RIGHT TURN INTO THE RIGHT LANE. I BEGAN TO PICK UP SPEED COMING OUT OF THE TURN AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV. BEFORE IT COULD REACH 1000 RPM, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO PARKING LOT. THE POWER STEERING HAD DISENGAGED AS WELL SO TURNING BECAME VERY HARD. THERE WAS NO NOTICABLE ISSUES AS I HAD DRIVEN EARLIER THAT DAY. GAS TANK WAS HALF FULL.
THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD FROM DIFFERENT REVIEWS I HAVE READ IT HAS TO DO WITH THE KEY MODULE. BUT IT SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING

2015 CHEVY CAMERO CONVERTIBLE INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. ALSO, THE DASH GOES BLANK AND THE GAS PETAL DOES NOT GET IT TO ACCELERATE. VERY DANGEROUS AND HAPPENED TODAY IN 102 DEGREES BUT ON COLDER DAYS AS WELL. SHOULD HAVE A RECALL WITH MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS TO THIS ISSUE
ON AUGUST 17, 2019, I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2015 CHEVROLET CAMARO FROM CHAPMAN FORD OF HORSHAM. THE CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CHEVROLET CAMARO THAT I PURCHASED IS DEFECTIVE AND DOES NOT CONFORM TO THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY LOCATED AT CHAPMAN CHEVROLET IN PHILADELPHIA DUE TO THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TECHNICIAN WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM DETERMINED THAT THE CAUSE WAS DUE TO A LARGE PRE-EXISTING WATER LEAK FROM A HOSE DETACHING FROM THE SUNROOF THAT IS LOCATED IN THE TRUNK CORRODING THE WIRING AND CAUSING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE THAT EXISTED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE MILEAGE WAS 29,883. THE CURRENT ODOMETER READING OF THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 34,000 MILES. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN AND SAFETY DEFECT THAT ENDANGERED MY HUSBAND'S LIFE, AS WELL AS MINE, AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE CAR CATCHING ON FIRE OR CAUSING A CRASH. THIS DEFECT OF THE CAR HAS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPACTED MY ABILITY TO USE THE VEHICLE AND ITS VALUE. THE DEFECT HAS ALSO RENDERED THE VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR USE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT ONCE THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRED THE HOSE LOCATED IN THE TRUNK CAN DETACH AGAIN WITHOUT US KNOWING AND WATER WOULD BE ABLE TO LEAK INTO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. HERE IS A LINK TO THE DIAGNOSIS VIDEO: HTTPS://CHAPMANFORDHORSHAM.UNOTIFI.COM/PIC_WATCHVIDEO.PHP?VID=B76E24CC-5E35-4E45-9C4C-646F092D7729&DID=6C330823-C29E-6895-19EA-5A538F785D5A

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR, SPEED ABOUT 45 THEN IT SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 20 AND THEN A SIGN CAME ON SAYING ENGINE POWER REDUCED. I WAS GOING 5 MINUTES UP THE ROAD TO A GAS STATION. *TR
SOMETIMES WHEN I ACCELERATE THE CAR HESITATES AND DOESN'T WANT TO GO. THIS HAPPENS OFF AND ON. ALSO, MY KEY IS GETTING HARDER TO GET OUT OF THE IGNITION. IT'S GETTING WORSE EVERYDAY. I'M AFRAID I WON'T BE ABLE TO GET MY KEY OUT.

TAKAYA RECALL-FOR THE LAST 2 1/2 YEARS I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES ON & OFF WITH MY STABILITRAK SYSTEM CAUSING MY ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND CAR TO JERK WHILE THE CAR IS CHANGING GEARS. IT JERKED SO HARD THE LAST TIME IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT SOMEONE IN THE BACK. THIS ISSUES HAPPENS FOR A DAY OR 2 THEN STOPS FOR MONTHS & COMES UP AGAIN. I'VE BROUGHT IT TO GMC TWICE AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT BECAUSE IT STOPS BY THE TIME I BRING IT TO THEM & NO CODE SHOWS UP. THIS ISSUES STARTS WHILE IN MOTIONS & CONTINUES WHILE DRIVING REGARDLESS IF I'M ON A STREET, HIGHWAY PR TURNING. THIS ISSUES IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD AND CAN CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN.
WHEN PARKING AND POWERING THE VEHICLE OFF, THE KEY REMAINS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I HAVE TO REPEATED POWER THE CAR ON AND OFF, RE-PLACING IT IN PARK FOR THE KEY TO FINALLY BE RELEASED... ALSO, THE RADIO OFTEN POWERS OFF AND ON, CAUSING MY DASHBOARD TO GO DARK. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I ALSO CANNOT HEAR THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR WHEN MAKING A TURN. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR SOME TIME NOW...FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IN THE COMPLAINTS, THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY CAMARO OWNERS. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FOR THIS?
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WOULD NOT RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE ENGINE TWICE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT SHUT ITSELF COMPLETELY OFF. THE VEHICLE QUIT DRIVING AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. THE DASH DISPLAY WENT COMPLETELY BLANK AND IT WAS AS THOUGH THE POWER HAD BEEN COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. AT TIMES THE KEY HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO REMOVE AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, BUT THIS SEEMED TO BE A DIFFERENT ISSUE. AFTER THE CAR SHUT DOWN, I PULLED OVER AND PUT THE GEAR IN PARK. I THEN REMOVED THE KEY, REINSERTED THE KEY, RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WORKED FINE. IT WAS VERY UNSAFE FOR THE CAR TO RANDOMLY JUST QUIT DRIVING/WORKING. LUCKILY I WAS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC.
I HAVE A 2015 CAMARO WITH ABOUT 31,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE IT WAS NEW AND ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED. MY SON IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER. LAST WEEK THE CAR'S ENGINE SHUT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AROUND 5:00 PM. LAST NIGHT TUESDAY JUNE 25, 2019 THE SAME THING HAPPENED. IN BOTH CASES IT WAS A PRETTY SCARY EVENT AND MY SON HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE STOPPED THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP WITH NO APPARENT ISSUES. THE KEY WAS STILL IN THE ON POSITION SO HE HAD TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND THEN BACK ON AND TO START. . WE HAVE THE NEWER KEY SYSTEM SO HE IS NOT BUMPING THE KEY WITH HIS KNEE AND TURNING OFF THE CAR. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM SENSOR OR SOME OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENT FAILURE THAT JUST KILLS THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. THERE ARE NO 'SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS' ON. THE VEHICLE WAS GOING ABOUT 50 MPH ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 80'S. THERE ARE MANY POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS ISSUE SO I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. NONE OF THE INTERNET POSTINGS HAD ANY REAL SOLUTIONS OFFERED.
MY KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION, RADIO DOES NOT WORK, DASH TURNS LIGHTS ON AND OFF, AIR COMPRESSOR NOT WORKING, NO COLD AIR IN MY CAR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM AUTO LAKES MALL BRAND NEW AND IT'S BEEN A NIGHTMARE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 8-3494064784. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CALL A LOCAL DEALER.

CAR STALLS, STUMBLES, AND DIES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER DECELERATING. IT HAPPENS AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. HAVE HAD THE CAR DIE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER BRAKING TO SLOW DOWN. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AT THIS POINT BUT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. HAVE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND RESTART WHILE MOVING. CAR WILL RESTART BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES. SOMETIMES I CAN CATCH IT BEFORE IT COMPLETELY DIES BY PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL 2-3 TIMES. BUT IF NOT QUICK ENOUGH, WILL DIE WHEN I HIT GAS PEDAL. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS LOSS OF ENGINE POWER COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH BRAKING AND STEERING IF CAR CANNOT RESTART.
IVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE MOTOR DEALER HAS HAD TO CHANGE PISTONS AND VALES . WHICH ISN'T VERY UNSAFE UNTIL YOUR DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THEN YOU LOSE ALL POWER ..THEN YOU HAVE TO DODGE TRAFFIC..OR ELSE.. IVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TIRE SENSOR THAT KEEPS GOING OUT, DEALER CHANGED IT ONCE AND WITHIN A MONTH IT STARTED ACTING WEIRD AGAIN. KEEPS TELLING ME TO ADD AIR TO THE TIRES WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS FINE . UNTIL I GET A BLOW OUT AND WRECK. IVE HAD ISSUES WITH SOME LIGHTS THAT FLICKER WHILE IM DRIVING . THE DEALER SAYS "THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE LIGHTS" . GM IS BUYING BACK THIS LEMON THEY SOLD ME , HOWEVER THEY WOULD LIKE ME TO KEEP DRIVING THIS CAR WITH TWO COMPLETELY BALD TIRES AROUND WHILE THEY DECIDE EXACTLY HOW MUCH THEY WANT ME TO PAY THEM FOR DEALING WITH THIS OBVIOUS LEMON THAT THEY SOLD ME. THAT'S THE THANKS I GET FOR CHOOSING TO BUY AN AMERICAN MADE VEHICLE. I WILL NOT EVEN DRIVE THIS ONE YEAR OLD CAR BECAUSE IT IS SO UNSAFE, PLEASE LOOK INTO OR AT LEAST MAKE SOME OF THIS INFORMATION AVAILABLE SO THAT OTHER HONEST HARD WORKING PEOPLE DON'T GET CAUGHT IN THIS HORRIBLE SITUATION..
I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS,PUMP AND NOW THE ENGINE, IT'S BECAME A DIFECTIVE CAR FOR ME AND I DON'T WANT IT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE A JERKING MOTION, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED, AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE BURNED OUT, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.
PURCHASED CAMARO LS 2015 - JUNE 26, 2015 CAR MILAGE AT TIME OF FIRST INCIDENT 115 MILES STALLED X 3 #1 JULY 2, 2015 WHILE DRIVING 20 MILES PER HOUR (ENGINE SHUT DOWN, PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND STOPPED, CAR RESTARTED). #2 JULY 3, 2015 WHILE DRIVING 45 MILES PER HOUR IN MODERATE TRAFFIC (ENGINE SHUT DOWN, PUT IN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, CAR RESTARTED). #3 JULY 3, 2015 WHILE DRIVING HOME, ANOTHER ENGINE SHUT DOWN IN MODERATE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC AT 45 MILES PER HOUR, PUT IN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, CAR RESTATED). EACH OF THE ABOVE SHUT DOWN EVENTS SHOWED NO RPM WITH SUDDEN SLOWING OF VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC. I AVOIDED THE BRAKES FOR FEAR OF INCREASING RISK OF REAR END COLLUSION. IF SUCH AN EVENT OCCURRED ON A FREEWAY ON MODERATE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC, AT A SPEED OF 65 MILES PER HOUR WOULD CREATE A SERIOUSLY UNSAFE SITUATION. THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND I HAD THE DEALERSHIP PICK UP THE CAR FROM MY HOME 7-6-15.
