2013 Chevrolet Camaro

The airbag system failed to deploy during a side-impact collision. The vehicle is a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro LS. The vehicle was declared totaled after the accident and may be available for inspection through the insurance company if requested. Description of the Incident and Safety Risk: While driving down the street and coming around a curve, another vehicle experienced a tire blowout and lost control. The driver attempted to correct the vehicle but crossed into my lane. I attempted to turn my vehicle toward the right to avoid a head-on collision, but the other vehicle T-boned my car on the driver’s side. The impact was severe. The other vehicle struck my car twice, which caused my vehicle to spin and come to rest on a curb. During the crash, none of the airbags deployed, including the driver airbag, despite the severity of the side impact. Because of the damage to the driver’s side door, it was crushed inward, and I had to pull my leg inward and exit through the passenger side door. During the collision, my head struck the steering wheel, and my back became very sore from the force of the impact. The failure of the airbags to deploy placed my safety at serious risk, as they could have helped prevent or reduce head and upper body injuries during the crash. Inspection / Investigation: The incident has been reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The vehicle has been evaluated by the insurance company following the accident and was declared totaled. Warning Lights or Prior Symptoms: There were no warning lights, airbag alerts, or system messages prior to the crash. The airbag system appeared to be functioning normally before the accident.

Radio/HVAC/Audible Chimes (available for inspection). My and others safety are at risk every day when driving this car. First the radio does not work at all the HVAC controls are tied into the radio and they work intermittent (windows fog) the whole center dash shuts off and on around every 3 seconds. It is very distracting at night flashing from when I start it until I shut it off and I have a one hour commute. I no longer have chimes like keys left in ignition, lights on, and hazard lights are also effected. Everything worked fine prior to radio failure. Has not been inspected by dealer.

The radio, HVAC control panel went blank. The radio, fan, blinker sound and HVAC indicator lights cycle on and off. Unless functionality is disconnected, you can’t drive without the radio going on and off, the speakers crackling, and the panel screen blank not allowing visibility of HVAC position. The problem has been reproduced by the dealer. And the internet reports the same issue from multiple owners with similar vehicle. The dealer and Chevrolet technical assistance center TAC have attempted to diagnose the problem without correcting the problem as of yet. Chevrolet has not taken responsibility for for correction or offered cost assistance. The condition first appeared as the radio going on and off uncontrollably, speakers crackling, and the panel going blank.

The steering has become hard to turn the vehicle. Vehicle is a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro with a V8 engine. GM issued Service Bulletin PIC5643D which includes 2013 Chevrolet Camaro Equipped with any V8 Engine (RPO LS3 or LSA or L99) but when I called GM, they said there are no special actions as the steering doesn't come up under the VIN and recommended filing this complaint with the NHTSA. They could give no information regarding repairs only recommending taking it to a dealer. A quick Goggle search reveals GM is aware of the problem but doesn't want to address it unless the NHTSA forces them to do so. Consumers have spent thousands of dollars trying to fix this issue to no avail. Loss of steering has caused some consumers to crash posing a significant danger to society as a whole. Please force GM to address this issue for the safety and security of society as a whole. There is currently a recall for the ignition swich which GM said has nothing to do with the steering issue.

Apparently it is a known issue with repair shops. The 5th bow of the convertible top is a faulty part that when bent causes leaks within the vehicle. These leaks bcome massive and could cause mold within the rear floor panel. I've replace the part in 2018 and now 2024. However, the repair shop is now telling me the part is nolonger manufactured and can be located in the country.

My 2013 Camaro had 89k miles, garage kept in excellent condition. My vehicle had never given me any issues and has impeccable maintenance records. I was pulling out of a parking spot when my engine started riving and jerking and I accelerated while in reverse and hit a concrete post behind me. I applied the brake and placed the car in drive. My car took off with a high speed of acceleration with my brakes still applied, and accelerated out of control. It followed the same path back into the parking spot ( I could not stir it) jumped the curb and ran through a brick wall finally coming to a stop in the middle of the business. The engine was still racing and in drive but the car had finally stopped and in a state of rest. I had to put the car into park and kill the engine. I could not control the car, the engine was racing with high rpm’s on its own, and driving in “ auto pilot” for lack of better term. Not one air bag deployed despite the fact I ran through a brick wall and totaled the car.

Hello, My name is Sharris Bridges, I’m the owner of a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro. I currently can’t defrost my car and can’t see the road because I have no heat. The Chevrolet Camaro has a issue with the blend door (temperature control door). It’s a piece of plastic that breaks which causes you not to have any heat. I was told by the dealership I would’ve to get the dash and windshield taken out just to get the blend door fixed. The bill they showed me was $20+ (majority in labor) for a issue that plenty people are having with the Camaro. This should be a recall! I’ve no heat, I can’t defrost my car, and more. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K0jajaoc-ro https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s0gakV_mGiY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Py-2ukNVAGs https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tL3CaKzVKm4 Consumer stated they’ll need to take out the windshield and dash to get to the area which needs fixing.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY RADIO FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS NOW. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN I PRESSED ON MY BRAKES IN A CITY STREET AND THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS. I FOUND IT ODD, BUT IGNORED IT INITIALLY. THIS PROBLEM STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE REGULARLY, WITH A STRONG ASSOCIATION BETWEEN THE RADIO TURNING OFF AND BACK ON TO USING THE BRAKES ON MY CAR. OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS, THE PROBLEM BECAME MORE SIGNIFICANT, HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY DURING MY DRIVES, AND NO LONGER ASSOCIATED WITH BRAKING, IT WOULD JUST HAPPEN RANDOMLY NOW. THE RADIO WOULD TURN ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY DURING MY DRIVES, WHETHER I WAS ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. AT THIS POINT, MY AIR WOULD ALSO TURN ON AND OFF WHEN THE RADIO WOULD START GLITCHING. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I WOULD TURN ON MY CAR AND THE RADIO JUST WOULDN'T TURN ON AT ALL. THERE WAS ONE TIME THAT IT TOOK 20 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE FOR THE RADIO TO FINALLY TURN ON, ONLY FOR IT TO START TURNING ON AND OFF AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM CAN BE VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. AS A RESULT, I HAD TO REMOVE THE RADIO FROM MY CAR AND I JUST DRIVE IN SILENCE. THE AIR NO LONGER TURNS ON AND OFF AND I CAN DRIVE PEACEFULLY, EVEN THOUGH I WOULD LOVE TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO WHILE I DRIVE.

BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR LEAKING AND DRIPPING OVER ENGINE INTERNALS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GM: SEE SERVICE BULLETIN: 09-05-22-005C. HOWEVER, GM IS STATING THIS WILL NOT BE REPAIRED UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. UPON ENCOUNTERING SOME BRAKING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE, I INSPECTED THE RESERVOIR AND DISCOVERED THE LEAKING FLUID, WHICH HAS STARTED TO EAT AWAY AT THE PAINT IN THE ENGINE BAY. I'M VERY CONCERNED THE FLUID WILL LEAK OUT AND CAUSE A FIRE, OR CAUSE MY BREAKS TO STOP WORKING COMPLETELY. AS AN ATTORNEY, I WOULD THINK THAT GM WOULD WANT TO LIMIT ITS LIABILITY AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE TO, REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY COVERAGE. SHOULDN'T THIS BE A FORMAL RECALL?

General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Coupes manufactured June 9, 2013, through September 6, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the required air bag warning label on the sun visor may peel off. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208 "Occupant Crash Protection."

Risk: If the air bag warning label detaches from the visor, the driver and front seat passenger may not be warned of the risks of air bag deployment, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and instruct owners how to inspect the visor sticker. As necessary, dealers will replace the sun visor, free of charge. The recall began on October 28, 2013. Owners may contact GM at 1-800-521-7300. GM's recall campaign number is 13284.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling all 2010-2014 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles manufactured December 3, 2008 to May 23, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Risk: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position could cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will remove the key blade from the original flip key/RKE transmitter assemblies, and provide two new keys and two key rings per key. The recall began August 25, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14294. Note: Until the recall has been performed, it is very important that drivers adjust their seat and steering column to allow clearance between their knee and the ignition key.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain replacement flip-key ignition transmitter assemblies sold as replacement equipment for 2010-2015 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles. GM dealers may have inadvertently sold these assemblies as replacement keys despite them having been recalled under NHTSA recall number 14V-346 (GM number 14294) when they were the original equipment assemblies. The driver may accidentally bump the ignition key with their knee, moving the ignition out of the run position and turning off the engine.

Risk: Once the engine is off, the vehicle can lose power steering and power braking, increasing the risk of a crash. The air bags may not deploy in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the key with the flat blade design, free of charge. Interim notices informing owners of the safety risk were mailed November 6, 2019. Owners received a second notice and the recall began February 4, 2020. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N192223230.

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2013 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Camero, Sonic, and Volt vehicles. The driver-side air bag inflator may explode during deployment due to a manufacturing defect.

Risk: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy: Dealers will replace the driver-side air bag module, free of charge. On some 2013 Volt vehicles, the steering wheel will be replaced as well, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 23, 2023. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300 and Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N232413120.
