GM chevrolet camaro airbags didnot deploy at all. Camaro total loss, a subject of multiple collisions 1 left front struck by another driver, right front result from initial, and center collision (most extensive impact and damage.
There is something wrong with the electrical of the radio and A/C units on these models. When driving, the radio and A/C automatically shut off and makes this loud popping sound through the speakers whether the radio is turned on or not. It almost sounds like something hitting the car and it is extremely dangerous and distracting to the driver. I thought it was just my vehicle that this was happening too but when I looked on you tube I found other camaro owners with the same model having the same issue.
At random, the key does not come out of the ignition. It happens for no specific reason, the steering wheel is straight when I shut of the car, it is not parked on a hill. The key just won't come out. I took it to a chevy dealer, but they could not get the key to not come out when they had the car, which was an 1 1/2 hours. I was charged $130 even though they didn't fix anything. They wanted me to leave the vehicle with them for a day, charge me $400, to see if they could fix it.
