What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
The car was making a turn in inclement weather when it lost traction. In every effort to slow the vehicle, my husband (whom was driving) downshifted to third gear, as the car was sliding into a ditch the clutch stuck to the floor (as it has done before on several occasions and has been mentioned to the local dealership), the brakes went out, the e-brake was pulled in an intense effort to slow the vehicle during the loss of control from impacting an electrical pole.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet camaro. The contact stated that the home screen would constantly flicker while driving at various speeds. Due to the failure, the contact was unable to view any safety alerts or hear the turn signals. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure and referred the contact to the local dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.
Key gets locked in the ignition after car is put into park and even after car has been turned off. For a while the stereo will turn off and on. Lights stay flickering from time to time.
