NHTSA complaint #11288050, filed 2019-12, 98,000 miles“I got in, I started my car at 5:30am, all ways normal. I put it in reverse got out of my driveway, then put it in drive and the car started shaking. I pressed the gas a little and I seamed like the car wanted to turn off and the gear gauge was going up and down and still shaking. I stopped put it in park, turned off the car, waited for a few minutes, then turned the car back on, the car was still shaking, then the check engine light came on. I had to drive to work. …”
NHTSA complaint #10605577, filed 2014-06, 35,700 miles“Brought my Camaro to dealership for recall 14294, ignition key problem. The solution of removing the blade from the flip key and adding a separate key creates a worse problem. One, it weighs more defeating the recall concern and two hangs lower increasing the probability of hitting your knee, again defeating the reason for the recall and adding a potential medical concern. And we would be receiving an inferior design to what I bought. I told them to change it back because of the above flaws. …”
NHTSA complaint #10640422, filed 2014-10, 20,000 miles“Gm safety recall 14294, we had no issues with the ignition key prior to the recall. We took our Camaro to the GM dealership, had the recall taken care of. Upon driving the Camaro after the ignition key was changed due to the recall, it is now more of a safety hazard with the key actually dangling down on our knee/legs while driving. We would appreciate the opportunity to get the previous ignition key refigured as it was when we purchased the Camaro as we had no problems/issues with it prior to following the recall instructions of taking our Camaro to the dealer.”
