“I'm having electrical issues causing my radio, AC, and turn signals to malfunction. In addition it's making loud and distracting popping and squealing noises, and sounds that may be electrical sparking noises. Gm told me it's out of warranty so they don't care. It happens whenever the ignition is on (all types of streets & freeway), but not in accessory.”
NHTSA complaint #11321462, filed 2020-04, 1 miles“My radio turns on and off-very distracting to my driving and makes a loud popping sound from speakers-which is startling. Along with this my defrost turns on and off which sometimes limits my visibility. This happens while the car is parked and while driving intermittently. It happens about 20 times while driving a short distance of about 10 miles. It also happened while I was driving on the interstate.”
NHTSA complaint #11390998, filed 2021-02, 57,000 miles“So my AC and stereo was working good but suddenly it started turning off itself. Then whenever I turn on my car it starts working. But after 1-2 months it stopped working at all. This is same issue as other people who owns Camaro have it. I tried to took to mechanic nobody understands what's going on. Now it's not working at all. Stereo is not coming up at all. Ac and heater doesn't work.”
NHTSA complaint #11339256, filed 2020-07, 70,000 miles“I'm having an issue with my radio. It's acting on, trying to change the mode. For example, listening to xm then wants to change to aux. Trying to turn off the air control on its own. I can hear a static sound in the background at times. T this happens mainly when the vehicle is moving. I've only owned the vehicle for a year and it has just recently started a few months ago.”
NHTSA complaint #11255161, filed 2019-09, 47,000 miles“While driving, my radio will pop and shut off, which also causes my AC to not work. Recently it has also effected my turn signals and other dash board areas and it does it no matter if I'm legit driving or sitting still. There are literally hundred of people having this issue and nothing has fixed it yet!”
