Down shift 3rd to 2nd = Engine Shut OFF?

[pabbs5oh]

So I'm having horrible luck lol I was driving hitting a turn and boom engine off when I was down shifting from 3rd to 2nd! It happened 2 times in a row and its happened a few times before. I called my boy with a 15 5.0 and he said it's happened to him today too lol. He's at 7k miles and I'm at 9.8k miles

Never happened, and you should take it to get looked at. That's not normal.

Not normal. I've never had that happen once and down shift into turns pretty often. Take it to the shop to be looked at.

Downshift all the time from 3 to 2nd in a corner and thats never happened. I would take it in.

Happened to me once about 8000 miles ago. Downshifting to 2nd as I was making a right into a shopping center. Dealership will scan for codes, won't find anything and will tell you that everything is fine.

Apparently this has happened to a few owners. I believe it is a fluke occurence.

I've heard this was an issue with the 2010-14 Camaros and there's no fix. But if this is a common occurrence shouldn't there be a concern? Like what if I was merging onto the freeway and BOOM! I get hit cause the engine dies and can't steer thanks to no power steering?

Cars didn't have power steering back in the day Also, at speed you have more control. Now the wheel lock on the other hand... (No idea if the 15 has one)

This is really weird though.

I know cars didn't have power steering back in the cave man days.

Hell na you don't have more control lol when I turned my wheel I was slowing down quick!!! I made it to the curb but I lost all momentum quickly lol.
