2014 Chevrolet Camaro: check engine light

Filed Nov 10, 2016 · Electrical, Engine · 49,000 miles · SC

Car ignition keeps hanging up and will not release key upon shut off. Traveling between states, a burning smell began to come through the vents, the car shut off without warning traveling 70 MPH on the highway, remaining lit and appearing fully functioning. It struck me as very familiar to the ignition issue I have had for the way the car shut off and began to act. Upon stop and actually switching off, car would try to crank, but did not catch. After towing to dealership, car cranked and drove as usual. Check engine light indicated low fuel pressure, after diagnostics for the third time the dealership is still insisting nothing is wrong with this car. Key ring has a total of 3 keys and lightweight, definitely not weighing down the ignition. This is definitely computer related, electrical and affecting the mechanical ability of the car as well as the safety of the driver. I see numerous complaints about this issue online, no recalls have been found and chevrolet is not correcting this despite numerous car fires reported and accidents probably caused.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet camaro. Prior to purchasing the vehicle, the contact stated that the ignition switch key fob was replaced. While driving at any speeds, the contact's knee touched the key and the engine light illuminated. The vehicle went from running to the accessory mode and then the steering wheel seized. The contact had to pull the vehicle over to the side of the road and place the gear in the park position to restart the vehicle. The failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 800.

When I first bought the car my mom and dad took it around the block and said that it turned off but failed to mention it because of cars having features that turn car off while at a halt. I've had the car for about 6 months and it is hardly driven. 3 days of the week, and is barely at 5000 miles. Still technically brand new. One day while coming home from work my boyfriend and I noticed the car to be struggling a little power wise. When we came to a stop at a light we made a right turn and the car felt like it was going to stall. Barely turning into our apartment it finally turned off. Took a couple of tries but car finally turned on for about 10 seconds and then turned off again. Finally being able to park the car, we tried starting it after letting it sit for couple minutes and it did not want to start. We drove car to nearby dealer left it overnight and the next day they said about 11 codes were coming up. After that car finally turned on acted normal for a bit so we were given car back. Afterwards check engine light came on and stayed on. Due to not being able to be off work we were going to take car to original dealer we bought it from to get checked out. Halfway into the week the car then stalled again luckily as we turned into work. Messages came up such as "service stability and traction control" as long as "engine power reduced". We were able to park it and had onstar run a diagnostics for it and were told that several codes popped with tranny, stability and traction control, ABS breaks, engine power etc were all affected at the time. We took it to dealer couple hours later and car was checked out and "fixed" couple days later. Turned out to be a short in one of the wires. To think a simple wire defect can affect the car to that extent is scary! And I'm thankful the faultiness didn't occur in injury or death.

While sitting at a stop light for a busy intersection, the check engine light and message appeared with the statements engine power reduced and service stabilitrak. I was able to pull off into a parking lot and shut the car down for a restart. Upon restart, the messages continued. I researched my owner's manual in which it said given these messages, the car was safe to drive but needed to be checked out. I attempted to proceed to my destination, however the transmission would not shift into second gear, and the vehicle would top out at approximately 30 MPH. While I was in a 55 MPH zone, I decided to again pull off the road and contact onstar. My vehicle was towed to the dealer. The following afternoon, the dealership contacted me saying the problem was a bad high-pressure fuel pump. The dealer had a spare fuel pump in-stock, however the fuel line is non-serviceable, and I was told they were on a back-order of 3-5 days. Seven days later the dealer called to let me know that gm was re-engineering that fuel line and it could be upwards of a month before the car would be repaired. After a total of 17 days, the car was repaired and everything seems to be back in order.

This vehicle was purchased brand new january 2014 with less than 10 miles on it. Upon taking the vehicle in three or more times for a fuel system issue, I experienced a rapidly flashing engine light two times. I called the service department. They said do not drive the vehicle anywhere other than to the dealership because the engine may blow. I took the car to the dealership on 5/29. The dealership "replaced" all parts on the vehicle including the fuel line, fuel injectors, pistons, all fuel injectors and this did not help. They then attempted to even out the compression in the cylinders to fix the issue of the compression leaking. This did not work. The vehicle was still having compression issues. They finally requested a replacement engine from gm. The engine was installed and I was called to pick up my vehicle after 29 days at the dealership. I requested a buy back, as from what they have told me regarding the car having a defect and this is a huge safety concern for me. The dealer and gm west coast liaison denied buy back due to the warranty still being in effect. This car is not safe and should be bought back by the dealer. We are pursuing with the bbb and a lawyer. The dealership has not cooperated and will not assist any further. The main concern is lack of knowledge as to what was wrong with the vehicle and that being it had 5000-6000 miles, how do we know it will be safe and will not have issues in the future.
