2015 Chevrolet Camaro: key fob or push-button start problems

Filed Sep 8, 2025 · Electrical, Fuel system · TX

The flip key fob gets stuck every time I park and will not come out for average 15-20 & sometimes it will come out if I move the gear shift to all gears and then put back in park. It doesn't always work though. This was a recall, owners were given a new flat key which I was not, and I do not believe the dealership (Classic Elite Chevrolet) corrected the recall. This has been an ongoing issue since 2020, after buying the car September of 2018. I was also given 2 key flip key fobs, which one was broken because the previous owner's knee hit the fob and the key broke off. It is obvious this ignition switch issue causing the key to remain stuck in the ignition was never fixed. I have asked for proof that it was fixed and I was told they couldn't provide proof or provide me with the flat keys that were to be provided after the recall. Check engine light comes on randomly, then will go off a day or two days later. I connect my sensor and it says 3 items: 1-high purge flow 2-cylinder 1 misfire detected 3-GM failure recorded. Yet, my car passed all the testing for inspection. I do not believe the dealership corrected any of the recalls that were issued for the 2015 Chevy Camaro when I purchased it. I have spent thousands of dollars taking my car into the certified service center to be told, it's basically all in my head, and I know it's not. 100%. I need answers. I need proof. I need to know why the recalls that were "supposedly" completed, have resulted in the same problems still occurring years after the recalls were issued. Below it states to tell the approximate date this incident occurred. I will put the date it started. Please know, that all the issues are still occurring.

The key will not come out of ignition once car is in park. In the event of an emergency, driver no longer has access to keys, driver is unable to leave car, battery drains (electric issues are already an issue that GMC will not address) and in the event driver is inexperienced at mechanics- this could lead to multifactor injuries. Issue has been reported in other make/models for YEARS, GMC refuses to address issue. In order to bypass this issue, owners must take apart steering column, release the Anti-Theft wire that enters the seliniod. Dealerships charge hundreds of dollars, sometimes never addressing the issue, to correct this problem. This key drains the electrical system, which will essentially cause complete failure to the car or a fire- which are happening more and more. A parasitic battery drain occurs due to this issue, resulting in consumers attaching trickle charging units (recommended by dealers). Instead of correcting the anti-theft wiring issues along with the switch blade key fob, a single key was issued along with the defective key fob and dealerships are asking owners to replace their "shifting units" to correct the issue of the key not coming out of the ignition. This is a safety issue that will lead to death; a car fire, a home emergency, a mechanical necessity require immediate need for keys, an internal combustion, a car parked in neutral or a car left running to avoid the hassle of not getting the keys out of the ignition.

Newly licensed son was driving down busy 4 lane road when car shut off. He was able to make it to the side of the road safely even though steering became very hard and no acceleration, car started right back up, however we worry about next time. We just purchased the car at the a local chevrolet dealership. They gave us one key fob, we had to purchase a 2nd key. They would only make a key and fob separately. There is a problem, we believe with the ignition switch. Have checked, it appears to be an issue but there is no recall. Other chevrolet vehicles with the same issue have recalls, but this one does not??

I own a camaro 2015 ls v6. I was driving on a highway at about 35mph, I accelerated and then my car completely shut off. When I looked at my key in the ignition I saw that it had turned into the off position while in drive. I know gm has had multiple recalls due to their ignition switch for the flip-key fob (recall is n192223230), but I am now having the same issue. My key is not attached to the fob, but I show the same symptoms. This is now causing an intermittent connection and the car may stall while driving due to this issue. I believe this is also part of the ignition switch failure recall and should be investigated.

I own a 2015 chevy camaro that my key gets stuck in the ignition. I have had issues over the last two months where the key gets stuck in the ignition and it cannot be removed or my car has to be started and moved several times to get the key out. I was told my car would need a new shifter because of electrical issues and I had a 3 year 36k warranty when I purchased it ( I was told) but gm would not reimburse me for this almost $500 expense. I have owned the car for almost 2 and a half years and it had under 36k miles when this happened. If I left the keys in the car and someone saw that, my car could be stolen and who knows if the person ended up driving crazy and ended up killing themselves or someone else. Would I be held responsible for this being I had no choice but to leave the keys in it? There should be a recall for this issue due to safety. I took the money I had and fixed the car because it was not safe to keep using the car like that. Gm should be held accountable and recall these cars and fix this problem before something bad really happens. They should not wait until something does happen. Gm called me today and said they will not reimburse me for the expense. They need to be held accountable for this problem. I am not the only one with this issue. Gm recalled the key fob because people were hitting it with their knee when driving so they need to fix this problem too. This is just as bad because of the chance someone can steal the car with the key stuck in the ignition.

My key fob has the replacement where the key was removed from the fob and added separately. I purchased my car in december of 2018 and it had only a few times where the key would get stuck in the ignition, after restarting or moving the gear shift it would eventually come out. Now my key is getting stuck in the ignition every time I stop my car.

I was driving on a city street approaching and intersection with a green light and made a moving right had turn onto the perpendicular street. As I proceeded through the turn and started to allow my steering whee return to center in which the steering wheel is moving in a counterclockwise direction, the "paddle shifter" located on the right side of the steering wheel caught in the cavity / void in the key fob / remote entry fob and prevented the steering wheel from returning to center. I had a car on my rear while making the turn so I couldn't just stop, the car was now headed to the right curb and a concrete railroad bridge wall. I pulled on the wheel to the left to try to center the wheel and straighten the car but the wheel wasn't moving to the left. I gave a very hard pull to the left and heard my keys go flying across the car and the wheel was now free and I regained control of the car. After I had control of the car again I noticed that the key had broken from the excessive force I applied to free the steering wheel. This all happened in a few seconds in moving morning rush hour traffic. As soon as I was able I pulled over to access what happened. I concluded that noting was wrong with the steering linkage or power steering system, but rather the remote access key fob had caught on the paddle shifter and locked up the steering wheel from returning to center while making the right turn. Typically my teenage son drives this car. I discussed this whit him and he had also had the same issue with the paddle shifter getting caught int he remote access key fob, but not in moving morning rush hour traffic. I reported this to gm case # 8-4304277679, but they told me they were not going to investigate it and were not familiar with this or a a similar problem. This is a serious safety concern and something needs to be done. Please advise. See pics.
