2015 Chevrolet Camaro Steering Problems

The flip key fob gets stuck every time I park and will not come out for average 15-20 & sometimes it will come out if I move the gear shift to all gears and then put back in park. It doesn't always work though. This was a recall, owners were given a new flat key which I was not, and I do not believe the dealership (Classic Elite Chevrolet) corrected the recall. This has been an ongoing issue since 2020, after buying the car September of 2018. I was also given 2 key flip key fobs, which one was broken because the previous owner's knee hit the fob and the key broke off. It is obvious this ignition switch issue causing the key to remain stuck in the ignition was never fixed. I have asked for proof that it was fixed and I was told they couldn't provide proof or provide me with the flat keys that were to be provided after the recall. Check engine light comes on randomly, then will go off a day or two days later. I connect my sensor and it says 3 items: 1-high purge flow 2-cylinder 1 misfire detected 3-GM failure recorded. Yet, my car passed all the testing for inspection. I do not believe the dealership corrected any of the recalls that were issued for the 2015 Chevy Camaro when I purchased it. I have spent thousands of dollars taking my car into the certified service center to be told, it's basically all in my head, and I know it's not. 100%. I need answers. I need proof. I need to know why the recalls that were "supposedly" completed, have resulted in the same problems still occurring years after the recalls were issued. Below it states to tell the approximate date this incident occurred. I will put the date it started. Please know, that all the issues are still occurring.

Driving in extreme cold and heat conditions and the heater would not heat nor would the air conditioner blow cool air. The window would not defrost making visibility impossible during heavy rain and snow. Nearly recked due to heater and air not working. Had vehicle trouble to dealer and discovered blend door to air conditioner /heater is faulty. there was a recall in 2019 for this part on 2015 Camaro yet I am told by GM my vin is not covered. My car is not safe to drive in extreme heat due to the possibility of heat stroke or exhaustion nor in inclimate weather due to visibility issues. GM needs to add my vin to the 2019 recall due to the highly dangerous possibility of bodily injury from the faulty blend door. In addition, the key fab gets in the way of leg room causing the car to shut off when driving.

The steering wheel I have for starters, is not the correct one that is suppose to be with the vehicle. It should say “Camaro” on the center of the steering wheel instead of having a Chevrolet logo on it. It’s also not symmetrical to the vehicle interior, it’s too big for where it is placed and doesn’t match up with the drive train. It poses a risk because it starts to shake after I go a certain speed and is also wobbly when I first start driving like something is loose inside of it. The seats also are not the original seats that the vehicle came with and have been replaced by idk what brand it is but it’s not a safe one because there are visible wires underneath the seat that aren’t covered and it causes me back pain after driving for the smallest amount of time. I have to reach far back to retrieve my seatbelt and it’s very inconvenient due to the strain it puts on me. I bought the car from this allegiances motors place and they allegedly inspected it and also did a safety inspection but they have not yet provided me with a legal safety inspection sticker and when I went in person about the issues I’m having they said buying was wrong with the vehicle. They coerced me in to signing a paper stating the airbags being deployed were unknown so I’m possibly driving around with no air bags in the vehicle which is highly alarming ne has I do drive with children in the backseat. It seems like all the components are slowly malfunctioning especially when I do not respond to the text messages of the car salesmen I bought the car from. They won’t provide me with any information regarding the air bags and let me know what they’re going to do in regards to fixing the visible wiring problem and ensuring I’m driving around with air bags that haven’t been deployed. Also, when I put my vin number in the system it showed me a picture of a convertible which is also pictured on the owners manual that came with the car, and it’s not a convertible. It’s just a regular ol coupe.

The key will not come out of ignition once car is in park. In the event of an emergency, driver no longer has access to keys, driver is unable to leave car, battery drains (electric issues are already an issue that GMC will not address) and in the event driver is inexperienced at mechanics- this could lead to multifactor injuries. Issue has been reported in other make/models for YEARS, GMC refuses to address issue. In order to bypass this issue, owners must take apart steering column, release the Anti-Theft wire that enters the seliniod. Dealerships charge hundreds of dollars, sometimes never addressing the issue, to correct this problem. This key drains the electrical system, which will essentially cause complete failure to the car or a fire- which are happening more and more. A parasitic battery drain occurs due to this issue, resulting in consumers attaching trickle charging units (recommended by dealers). Instead of correcting the anti-theft wiring issues along with the switch blade key fob, a single key was issued along with the defective key fob and dealerships are asking owners to replace their "shifting units" to correct the issue of the key not coming out of the ignition. This is a safety issue that will lead to death; a car fire, a home emergency, a mechanical necessity require immediate need for keys, an internal combustion, a car parked in neutral or a car left running to avoid the hassle of not getting the keys out of the ignition.

MY STEERING WHEEL MAKES A SQUEAKY NOISE WHENEVER I MAKE A TURN. IT STARTED OUT ONLY MAKING THE SOUND SPORADICALLY. IT IS NOW MAKING THE NOISE LOUDER AND EVERY TIME I MAKE A TURN WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL WHILE PARKED (I TESTED THIS TO SEE IF IT WOULD MAKE THE SOUND ALL THE TIME). THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE APRIL 2018. AS OF THE PAST TWO DAYS, MY KEY NOW GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN I CUT THE CAR OFF. THE KEY WILL NOT TURN ALL THE WAY SO THAT I CAN TAKE IT OUT.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET APPROACHING AND INTERSECTION WITH A GREEN LIGHT AND MADE A MOVING RIGHT HAD TURN ONTO THE PERPENDICULAR STREET. AS I PROCEEDED THROUGH THE TURN AND STARTED TO ALLOW MY STEERING WHEE RETURN TO CENTER IN WHICH THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVING IN A COUNTERCLOCKWISE DIRECTION, THE "PADDLE SHIFTER" LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL CAUGHT IN THE CAVITY / VOID IN THE KEY FOB / REMOTE ENTRY FOB AND PREVENTED THE STEERING WHEEL FROM RETURNING TO CENTER. I HAD A CAR ON MY REAR WHILE MAKING THE TURN SO I COULDN'T JUST STOP, THE CAR WAS NOW HEADED TO THE RIGHT CURB AND A CONCRETE RAILROAD BRIDGE WALL. I PULLED ON THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO TRY TO CENTER THE WHEEL AND STRAIGHTEN THE CAR BUT THE WHEEL WASN'T MOVING TO THE LEFT. I GAVE A VERY HARD PULL TO THE LEFT AND HEARD MY KEYS GO FLYING ACROSS THE CAR AND THE WHEEL WAS NOW FREE AND I REGAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR. AFTER I HAD CONTROL OF THE CAR AGAIN I NOTICED THAT THE KEY HAD BROKEN FROM THE EXCESSIVE FORCE I APPLIED TO FREE THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN A FEW SECONDS IN MOVING MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. AS SOON AS I WAS ABLE I PULLED OVER TO ACCESS WHAT HAPPENED. I CONCLUDED THAT NOTING WAS WRONG WITH THE STEERING LINKAGE OR POWER STEERING SYSTEM, BUT RATHER THE REMOTE ACCESS KEY FOB HAD CAUGHT ON THE PADDLE SHIFTER AND LOCKED UP THE STEERING WHEEL FROM RETURNING TO CENTER WHILE MAKING THE RIGHT TURN. TYPICALLY MY TEENAGE SON DRIVES THIS CAR. I DISCUSSED THIS WHIT HIM AND HE HAD ALSO HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE PADDLE SHIFTER GETTING CAUGHT INT HE REMOTE ACCESS KEY FOB, BUT NOT IN MOVING MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I REPORTED THIS TO GM CASE # 8-4304277679, BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT GOING TO INVESTIGATE IT AND WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS OR A A SIMILAR PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. PLEASE ADVISE. SEE PICS. *DT
