Default three keys one car

So the camaro I just bought has a key for the ignition one for the driver side door and one for the passenger door one of the door keys also opens the trunk so I'm just wondering what's up with this I very much doubt it but this isn't normal is it??

you can call a locksmith and he can replace the cylinders in the doors and hatch so there all 1 key

Yes it usually is common to originally have more than 1 key :P I know what you mean by the confusion, my other car, and any car I've driven, only had one key, that and a fob.

My car has two keys, one for all doors and hatch, one for key cylinder. Sounds like someone changed the lock at some point. I know my passenger side key cylinder froze up recently, so maybe theirs a common problem there.

the passenger side has a tendency to freeze up because its not really used

Both doors, the hatch, the glove box, and the t-tops (if equipped) use the same oval-head key. The ignition switch uses its own square head key.

The original keys have a black plastic covering on the head.

If you have more than one oval-head key then that lock cylinder (or the component it is installed in) has been replaced. Like, say, the car is in a wreck and a door is replaced. A lot of body shops won't bother taking the door apart to change lock cylinders if the replacement comes with a key. If the lock cylinder is damaged in the crash, swapping cylinders isn't even an option.
