2014 Chevrolet Camaro: engine stalls while driving

Filed Sep 3, 2026 · Engine, Fuel system · AZ · 1 injury

I am filing a safety complaint regarding my 2014 Chevrolet Camaro V6 with the 3.6L LFX engine because the vehicle intermittently stalls and/or will not restart after being driven or exposed to high ambient temperatures. I live in [XXX], where extreme temperatures and extended idling in traffic are normal driving conditions. The vehicle can operate normally and then experience a fuel-delivery-related failure after becoming hot. It may stall or fail to restart and can remain unable to start until it cools down. This makes the vehicle unpredictable and unsafe to operate because I cannot know when it will lose the ability to run or restart. This is especially dangerous in Phoenix traffic. A driver cannot reasonably avoid traffic congestion, extended idling, construction, accidents, or other situations where the vehicle remains exposed to extreme heat. I have had to alter how and where I drive because I am concerned that the vehicle may stall and leave me stranded in or near moving traffic. The vehicle has experienced fuel-system-related diagnostic trouble codes, including P2635 (Fuel Pump Flow Performance), P069E, and P018B. The high-pressure fuel pump has already been replaced, but the problem has continued. General Motors has also issued technical information addressing heat-related fuel system concerns involving this engine/platform. I have raised the issue with Chevrolet/General Motors and have GM case number XXX. Despite the recurring safety-related symptoms, I have not been provided with a permanent repair that makes the vehicle reliably safe to operate under the environmental conditions in which it was sold and is normally driven. My concern is not simply that the vehicle requires repair. The safety issue is that the failure is intermittent, temperature-related, and can cause the vehicle to stall or become unable to restart without adequate warning. In extreme Arizona heat, being stranded also creates an additional safety risk to occupants. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA

I was driving in the city and my 2014 chevy camaro 2lt rs stopped working. It just completely shut off while driving and the steering locked up. This is a big safety hazard as it could've happened on the highway. In order for the car to drive again, the car had to be put in park, turned off, and restarted. This happened multiple times in the past week and it keeps happening over and over. A recall is mandatory for this life endangering hazard.

My chevy camaro has a safety recall on the key fob ignition system. The key was found faulty and would turn off while driving. Chevy's solution was to remove the switchblade key fob and give me an ordinary key. The problem is that the paddle shifter on the steering wheel still comes in contact with the key while turning, therefore turning off the ignition. While turning off the key, it also breaks the key in half. This has happened to be 3 times now while driving. 2 of the times almost resulting in collision. I am honestly scared to drive my car.

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.

Within two weeks after purchasing my car it stalled twice--both when stopped at red lights. I took car to dealership and they did a road test but could not replicate. On 4/9/2014 I was making a right hand turn and the car stalled in the middle of the intersection. I restarted the car, drove to my office and the car stalled when turning into the parking garage and again when turning into the parking space. Took to the dealership the following day and they kept for an extended test drive but could not replicate the problem. Since there were not any codes the car was returned to me.
