ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain replacement flip-key ignition transmitter assemblies sold as replacement equipment for 2010-2015 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles. GM dealers may have inadvertently sold these assemblies as replacement keys despite them having been recalled under NHTSA recall number 14V-346 (GM number 14294) when they were the original equipment assemblies. The driver may accidentally bump the ignition key with their knee, moving the ignition out of the run position and turning off the engine.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the key with the flat blade design, free of charge. Interim notices informing owners of the safety risk were mailed November 6, 2019. Owners received a second notice and the recall began February 4, 2020. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N192223230.

The tires spun out of control while going the speed limit and wearing a seatbelt. The brakes ultimately failed. The car had no functional safety features, and I couldn't control the steering. It went airborne and rolled over. The airbags failed to deploy after hitting a tree. My safety and others were put at risk, and I almost died from the accident. I suffer from life-threatening/altering injuries.

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 20 MPH AROUND A TRAFFIC CIRCLE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, WHEN, AFTER TURNING RIGHT, THEN LEFT, THEN RIGHT AROUND THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE, THE BACK END SLID OUT AND THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL SLAMMED SIDEWAYS AGAINST A CURB. THE WHEEL WAS INSTANTLY CRACKED, THE WHEEL AND SPINDLE BENT. "SERVICE STABILITRACK" INSTANTLY CAME ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER, AND ALL THREE STABILITY INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. THE P-ZERO NERO TIRES ON THIS CAR ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR WET ROADS IN THE CITY. THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 50 DEGREES. THE CAMARO AND THESE TIRES MAKE IT UNSAFE, AND THE CAR SHOULD COME EQUIPPED DEFAULT WITH ALL-SEASON TIRES, NOT RACING Z-RATED SUMMER ONLY TIRES. REPAIR COST IS $1,500 AND THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS "PERFORMANCE" CAR.

My 2015 Chevrolet Camaro has developed a recurring issue where the ignition key becomes stuck and cannot be removed. The vehicle appears to believe it is still in gear even though the transmission has been placed in Park. The key jams in the ignition, making it difficult or impossible to remove. This occurs intermittently and raises concerns that the vehicle may not be properly recognizing that it is in Park. This is a significant safety issue because it could lead to the vehicle rolling if not properly secured, prevent the vehicle from being turned off correctly, and leave the driver stranded. I believe this may be related to the shift interlock or ignition switch mechanism. I am reporting this issue because it presents a potential safety hazard.
