Electrical system
111 reports1 crash1 fire1 related recall
“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.”
Engine
25 reports1 fire
“The car powered off on me while driving on the interstate causing an extremely dangerous situation for me and other drivers without any warning, no signs the vehicle abruptly stopped I coasted to the side and avoided traffic and started right up but drove rough. It’s fuel and fluids in the car and no check engine lights were on.”
Power train
19 reports
“The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that while the gear shifter was shifted to park(P), the key could only be turned halfway and became stuck. Due to the failure, the vehicle failed to shut off. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the gear shifter assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred two or three years later. The vehicle was taken to the same dealer where the gear shifter assembly was replaced, but the failure reoccurred approximately three to four years later. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired after the last failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.”
Steering
17 reports1 crash
“The flip key fob gets stuck every time I park and will not come out for average 15-20 & sometimes it will come out if I move the gear shift to all gears and then put back in park. It doesn't always work though. This was a recall, owners were given a new flat key which I was not, and I do not believe the dealership (Classic Elite Chevrolet) corrected the recall. This has been an ongoing issue since 2020, after buying the car September of 2018. I was also given 2 key flip key fobs, which one was broken because the previous owner's knee hit the fob and the key broke off. It is obvious this ignition switch issue causing the key to remain stuck in the ignition was never fixed. I have asked for proof that it was fixed and I was told they couldn't provide proof or provide me with the flat keys that were to be provided after the recall. Check engine light comes on randomly, then will go off a day or two days later. I connect my sensor and it says 3 items: 1-high purge flow 2-cylinder 1 misfire detected 3-GM failure recorded. Yet, my car passed all the testing for inspection. I do not believe the dealership corrected any of the recalls that were issued for the 2015…”

Wheels
10 reports4 crashes
“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.”
