My 2014 Camaro SS, has about 35k miles on it now, and only drive during the summer. I was looking for a parking spot at work, went to turn right, and the steering wheel totally locked up on me, would not turn left or right from a straight position, ended up slamming on the brakes for i wouldn't run into the embankment in front of me. Put the car in Park, kept playing with the steering wheel, and it finally came free and turned right, after trying to go from left to right a couple of times. So put it back in drive and it performed normally the rest of the day. Sometimes when parking the car, the key will not go fully into the lock position, without starting and shutting the car down a few times, and wiggling the steering wheel in the center position. I See there is a steering related recall on this vehicle but thinking that isn't the problem, but will check it out just in case. …
When I drive my knee turns the key, causing a the car to turn off. This is a safety issue that is concerning I am a mom. Every time my knee hits the part key while the car is on it turns the car off. The heater is an issue I have air but no heat. In order for me to fix the heater I told they would have to remove the entire window, but I would have to sign a waiver, because the window could break. Then they would have to remove the dash and another part in order to fix the heat in the car. This is in my opinion a safety issue I don't understand how the heater could be fixed without causing the window in the car to possibly break. I was told the chances of the window not breaking in order to fix the heater in the car is nearly impossible. Which means I would have to buy a window and pay for labor in order to fix the heat in the car. 1. …
Our 2014 Chevy Camaro ss power steering would lock up on us when we were driving and would jerk and we wouldn't be able to steer the car and it was very scary especially when you were going the speed limit on the interstate going 65-70 MPH.

We had just purchased the car the end of May 2020. …
Takata recall- several issues cant get key out of ignition when put in park, radio screen locks up and goes blank while driving or stationary, heater got extremely hot and froze so it could not be turned off while traveling on hi way with no where to pull off. Took to dealership several times but always seemed to work for them. Asked for them to document since I was getting close to warranty expiring. Also hear a clunk each time I use brake. Backfired and loss power when trying to pass a car on freeway. Passenger seat two way motor had short or defect would cause seat to get stuck in high position at various times and has completely stopped working with seat touching roof, not sure if smaller person would be safe if airbags go off in this position. …
The steering wheel has manual drive shift levers on both sides. When making a right turn sometimes the lever gets caught on keys causing the steering wheel to make a hard right turn resulting in momentary loss of steering control. I have almost driven into ditches or other objects due to this defect. Also, the shifter is not engaging properly causing the key to be get stuck in the ignition when the engine is off. In order to get the key to release I have to restart the engine, reverse and put the shifter back in the park position. Then I must engage the floor brake and release it until a clicking noise is heard inside the shifter. The key will then release. This problem has already been reported in other models of GM vehicles and part of a recall however my model has not been recalled. The dealer and manufacturer are not taking responsibility.
The steering rack makes a pulsing noise around corners and the steering cuts in an out of power assist mode. This has happened since the vehicle was nearly new with 752 miles on it when I purchased it. There was a recall for several units, but this car was not included. I believe the recall extends to this car and probably several others as many people on the forums complain of the same issue. The car does it constantly around corners, and I would be happy to let and NHTSA investigator drive the car. This car is also making the clunk from the rear under NHTSA#10114259. I believe the vehicle should be recalled for the steering and I also believe NHTSA#10114259 should be a recall and not a TSB.
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.

Ignition will not shut off, key continually gets stuck in ignition. Have to restart the vehicle and turn off multiple times to get the key out. The dash control showing temperature controls levels, times, outside temp, etc goes in and out (short?) heat stays on and cannot adjust due to being out. Come out to the garage in the morning after being off all night and not working to the screen being lit up blue showing display items as it should while on and working, mind you the car if off turn car on the and the display shuts off again.
