AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, WHEELS
The tires spun out of control while going the speed limit and wearing a seatbelt. The brakes ultimately failed. The car had no functional safety features, and I couldn't control the steering. It went airborne and rolled over. The airbags failed to deploy after hitting a tree. My safety and others were put at risk, and I almost died from the accident. I suffer from life-threatening/altering injuries.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
In regards to my electrical system - Issue #1 - once I place the car in park the key won't turn all the way back to come out of the ignition switch. Most often I have to take the care out of park and back or jam the car into park for it to turn all the way to get the key out. Issue #2 - while sitting at a light my car tend to shake as if it's about to cut off. On a couple of times the Service Stabili Trak light, engine light, traction control and two other tire lights all come on and I seem to lose power when I get on the gas. By the time I get it to the shop they don't find the code that sets off these lights.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the right turn signal was engaged and made an abnormal ticking sound. The contact also stated that the radio inadvertently made a loud popping electrical sound and the instrument panel screen turned off. There were no warning lights illuminated. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that they would follow up with NHTSA. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 59,500.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Component unknown, available for inspection. I have not had the vehicle inspected by anyone. No warning lamps, messages prior to situation. This started happening a year after purchasing in 2017. Problem: After driving the vehicle, arriving at the destination, putting the car in park, turning the ignition off, the key will not turn all the way left so the key can be removed. The key gets stuck at that point. I try wiggling the key, push the key inward and left and right toward the steering column, apply the brake turn the key to the right 2x without actually turning the engine on then take the car out of park then put it back in park. Some times it works with one try but on average I do this about 3-5 times and then the key releases.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
This is the SECOND time that my "Serivce Stabilitrak" along with the traction light has gone off and the engine light blinks constantly, within less than a 6 month period. I paid almost $900, with a dealership coupon, at Grieco Chervolet in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for the exact same problem, less than 6 months ago; now the same issue occurred today, on my way to work. Uncontrollable shaking and speed. I see LOTS of complaints for this issue on this website, so I am NOT sure how there is NOT a safety recall for this vehicle. No one seems to take this concern seriously, until deaths are reported, I suppose. Shameful! This car is going to cause an injury or fatality, if some agency does not look into this concern, that many Chervy Camaro owners, are reporting.

MY RADIO HAS BEEN CUTTING ON AND OFF AND WILL SHUT OFF IF I PRESS THE BREAKS, TURN ON BRIGHT LIGHTS, SHUT THE DOOR, OR ANY JOLTING MOVEMENTS. IT WON'T PLAY THE BLINKER SOUND EITHER IF THE RADIO IS CUT OFF. SOMETIMES IT WILL MAKE A LOUD POP OR SCRATCH NOISE. IT WILL ALSO FLASH ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY AND THAT IS DISTRACTING AT NIGHT. I'VE LOOKED INTO IT AND OTHERS HAVE THESE PROBLEMS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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. I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, ELECTRICAL AND POWER TRAIN COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE DEALING WITH THIS SAME CONCERN (AS WELL AS THE KEY GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHICH IS ALSO A COMPLAINT. I WANT IT DOCUMENTED JUST IN CASE AN ACCIDENT, OR GOD FORBIDS A FATALITY HAPPENS, THEY WILL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED PRIOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. PLEASE SHARE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND/OR CHEVROLET
