Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2014 Chevrolet Camaro owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
I am filing a safety complaint regarding my 2014 Chevrolet Camaro V6 with the 3.6L LFX engine because the vehicle intermittently stalls and/or will not restart after being driven or exposed to high ambient temperatures. I live in [redacted], where extreme temperatures and extended idling in traffic are normal driving conditions. The vehicle can operate normally and then experience a fuel-delivery-related failure after becoming hot. It may stall or fail to restart and can remain unable to start until it cools down. This makes the vehicle unpredictable and unsafe to operate because I cannot know when it will lose the ability to run or restart. This is especially dangerous in Phoenix traffic. A driver cannot reasonably avoid traffic congestion, extended idling, construction, accidents, or other situations where the vehicle remains exposed to extreme heat. …
Car ignition keeps hanging up and will not release key upon shut off. Traveling between states, a burning smell began to come through the vents, the car shut off without warning traveling 70 MPH on the highway, remaining lit and appearing fully functioning. It struck me as very familiar to the ignition issue I have had for the way the car shut off and began to act. Upon stop and actually switching off, car would try to crank, but did not catch. After towing to dealership, car cranked and drove as usual. Check engine light indicated low fuel pressure, after diagnostics for the third time the dealership is still insisting nothing is wrong with this car. Key ring has a total of 3 keys and lightweight, definitely not weighing down the ignition. This is definitely computer related, electrical and affecting the mechanical ability of the car as well as the safety of the driver. …
I own a 2014 Camaro. On May 2nd, we were driving off of an exit from the interstate 270 when all of a sudden, I lost total control of my vehicle. Everything shut down. I could barely star the car. I had no power at all. When this happened, it also sounded like my engine locked up. We were literally about to freak worrying we were going to get rear ended. Luckily, we were able to coast into an apartment complex. I could not restart the car and waited about 5 minutes until it would restart. I then took the car into a dealership here telling them it is a death trap. I informed them that I have given them notice of the dangers driving this car and if something happened to us, I would hold them liable since they had been warned. Honestly, I am worried now about driving that death trap.
Key recall- since the key recall has been done about 3 weeks ago the last week we have been having issues with the car just dying in the middle of the road. It loses all power and shuts itself off. I have contacted OnStar and had them do a diagnosis and they couldn't find anything. This is a huge safety issue. It almost completely died in rush hour traffic on the freeway. Thank goodness that I was not on a busy street when it did die completely. I lost all power steering, and all it would do is coast. I did have the key recall done on my car and apparently it is more than just the key that is the issue. This makes me scared to drive my vehicle on a freeway. I don't know when it will die and hopefully not cause a huge accident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro. While driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle stalled and lost steering and braking ability. In addition, the Chevrolet icon illuminated on the dashboard. The contact stated that the icon usually only illuminated when the vehicle was started. The failure recurred six times in one day. Every time the Chevrolet icon illuminated, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to carmax (21636 katy freeway, katy, texas 77449), but the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was not repaired. A Chevrolet dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000.
Vehicle was having a radio shut off issue, where all fm/am stations were not available, however, satellite radio was available. The radio would emit a "pop" sound and then shut off (occurs daily). Dealership could not replicate the issue. Now as recent as apr 30, 2017 (occurring intermittently), when radio turns off, entire vehicle turns off. No warning lights on dash, no warning whatsoever. Vehicle has turned off while in motion on highway. Steering becomes unavailable making use of this vehicle incredibly dangerous. Took to dealership, and they are unable to replicate the issue to begin repair.
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. This happened multiple times in the past week and it keeps happening over and over. A recall is mandatory for this life endangering hazard.
When accelerating the vehicle shut off 3 times in the same day when switching from 1st to 2nd gear. I was forced to cycle the ignition , put the car in park , and res-start the car in the middle of the highway. I was scared out of my mind because I though the keyfob recall was to prevent this from happening. This wasnt the case and my 2014 Chevrolet Camaro automatic 6cy shut off 3 different times in the same day when accelerating.

My 2014 Chevy Camaro has the same problem as many do, on the Camaro forum. A bad heater core that fogs the entire windshield with a smell of antifreeze from the carpet, vents and windshield. As you drive & turn on heat or defrost, you put yourself in danger of being able to even see.without any warning. Very unsafe.
