“My Camaro began shaking violently when the car was stationary. I thought that maybe the car was cold due to me not really driving during covid,so after letting the vehicle warm up, I drove away. As I drove down my street, the transmission light, as well as all of the traction, electronic stability control lights came on. While continuing to drive, the car began to make hard jerking motions. …”

NHTSA complaint #10885089, filed 2016-07, 19,000 miles“When turning off the vehicle with automatic shifter in park the ignition key gets stuck in the ignitiion switch. I then have to keep restarting and shutting off the vehicle and move the shifter in and out of park multiple times to get the key to release. There appears to be a sensor issue with the automatic shifting mechnism and the ignition switch. This has happened on both my 2014 v-6 and 2015 v-8 camaros. Numerous complaints are all over the internet about this problem and Chevrolet should issue a recall.”

The problem started off intermittently then got worse. Took it to the dealer and the service manager came out to look at it. He immediately moved the shift lever and the key came out. He did it like he has done it many times before. I asked if it was a known problem and he told me no. After doing research, I discovered it is a problem widely known by dealers but never admitted! …”

The engine ran, at idle. I put it in park. I still could not accelerate. I could floor it. Nothing but idle. I turned off the power and cut it back on and I was able to engaged the accelerator to get off the freeway and have it towed to a dealer. This is almost the same symptoms as the functional hack as demonstrated in the wired magazine jeep hack video. After troubleshooting it 9 days, the dealer gave me the following info. …”
