What owners report
“The key will get stuck in the ignition daily and I have to restart engine and shift into reverse and then shift back into park for the key to be removed. This process has to be completed several times before the key can be removed from the ignition. And one more issue my steering wheel makes a weird whiny noise as I turn it.”
An owner's complaint to NHTSA about the steering, Oct 2017
“I was driving in the city and my 2014 chevy camaro 2lt rs stopped working. It just completely shut off while driving and the steering locked up. This is a big safety hazard as it could've happened on the highway. In order for the car to drive again, the car had to be put in park, turned off, and restarted.”
An owner's complaint to NHTSA about the engine, Oct 2019
