NHTSA Complaint #11320077 — 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO

SHORTLY AFTER I START MY CAR AND TURN ON THE RADIO A LOAD POPPING SOUND WILL COME THROUGH THE SPEAKERS AND THE SOUND FROM THE RADIO WILL GO OFF. THE RADIO PANEL WILL STAY LIT, BUT NO SOUND WILL COME OUT AND THE BUTTONS ON THE RADIO WILL NOT WORK. IT ALSO WILL NOT ACCEPT A CD. IT WILL STAY LIKE THIS FOR AWHILE. THE NEXT TIME I START CAR IT WILL DO THE SAME THING. IT USED TO DO THIS RANDOMLY AT FIRST WITH NO RHYME OR REASON FOR IT. IT STARTED MORE THAN 6 MONTHS AGO AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE. IT USED TO PLAY A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE POPPING SOUND AND NO SOUND. NOW IT ONLY STAYS ON SECONDS, POPS AND GOES OFF. SOMETIMES IT WON'T WORK AGAIN FOR HOURS OR DAYS. AT FIRST I HEARD LOUD STATIC IN MY SPEAKERS WHEN I USED THE TURN SIGNALS, BUT NOT ANYMORE. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AN SPECIFIC PATTERN. I DO SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME OR VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR CAMAROS. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL. IT'S OBVIOUSLY A BIG PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF CAMARO OWNERS ARE HAVING. IT HAPPENS WHEN IT'S STATIONARY AND/OR IN MOTION.
