2007 CHEVROLET AVEO Complaints

THE DASHBOARD OVER THE SPEEDOMETER BECOMES VERY HOT AND THE KEY IS HOT WHEN REMOVED. I FEEL THIS MAY BE RELATED TO RECALL 14236 REGARDING RUNNING LIGHTS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE RECALL 06133 REGARDING FUEL LINE/FUSE BLOCK AS WELL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS ENGINE OIL MIXING WITH THE ANTIFREEZE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

MY AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED DURING A FRONT END COLLISION. MY CAR CONTINUES TO GET STUCK IN PARK. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SWITCH DOES NOT WORK. THE AC CONTINUOUS TO MAKE A TICKING SOUND AND STILL DOES NOT WORK AFTER REPLACING A VALVE FOR A LEAK AND REPLACING THE COMPRESSOR. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. FIRST DIAGNOSTIC BY THE GM DEALERSHIP POINTED TO A 12V POWER LOSS. THEN AFTER ~2 MONTHS THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. AN INDEPENDENT CAR REPAIR SHOP TESTED FOR 2 HOURS PER TROUBLE CODE AND FOUND THE ROOT CAUSE WAS THE TIME CLOCK IN THE DASHBOARD. LIGHT STAYED OFF WHEN CLOCK WAS REPLACED (REPEATED TWICE WITH ORIGINAL TIME CLOCK). LIGHT IS OFF SINCE 1 WEEK AFTER MULTIPLE CAR TRIPS. WHY DOES THE TIME CLOCK CAUSES THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON AND POTENTIALLY DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM.

SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF ENGINE DYING WHILE TRAVELING AT FULL SPEED ON OPEN HIGHWAY. WITH POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC. SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT BEING HIT. HAVE TRIED NEW IGNITION SWITCH, NEW KEY. STILL DOING IT. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN AN AIRPORT PARKING LOT. UNEXPLAINED DASHBOARD/ELECTRICAL FIRE OCCURRED AT SOME POINT WHILE PARKED THERE...VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. SOUNDS LIKE THE ISSUE IN THE MAY 21, 2014 RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING AS IF IGNITION TURNED OFF. CANNOT GET OUT OF PARK. AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED IN 2010, 2011, 2013 AIR BAG LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD ON SINCE 2010. *TR

THE REAR END MAKES ALOUD LIKE WHISH SOUND WHEN DRIVING. THE HATCHBACK WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH THE KEY YOU HAVE TO CRAWL INTO THE BACK AND HAVE SOMEONE AT THE REAR OF THE CAR TO PULL WHILE SOME IS ON THE IN SLIDING THE SPRING . THE REAR PLUG CAUGHT ON FIRE EVERY SINCE THEN R.P.M WILL NOT STAY UNDER 2 1/2 THE ACCELERATOR GOES UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVE IT STICK THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WILL NOT SHUT OFF THE WIPER FLUID WILL NOT WORK WE HAVE CHECK ALL FUSE AND NONE ARE BLEW. WHEN THE FIRE HAPPENED THE BULB IN THAT WAS NOT EVEN BLEW THE DASH SMELL LIKE IT BURNING AND GETS VERY HOT. *TR

ABOUT A WEEK AGO I STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING. THOUGHT I WAS MISTAKEN. TRIED TO CRANK THE CAR TODAY AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. HAD A RELATIVE JUMP IT AND FOUND THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. IN RESEARCHING WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE I FOUND THAT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED REGARDING THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS MODULE BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE YET. I ONLY HAVE THIS ONE VEHICLE AND I CANNOT GET ANYONE TO CALL ME ABOUT GETTING THIS PROBLEM FIXED. YOU WOULD THINK THAT WITH ALL THE BAD PUBLICITY GM IS GETTING AT THIS TIME THEY WOULD WANT TO ASSIST QUICKLY. NOPE. I AM ALSO DEALING WITH MY DAUGHTERS CAR WHICH IS AN HHR THAT HAS HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALLED AND I WAS ADVISED TODAY THAT IT COULD TAKE 8 WEEKS FOR THE PART TO COME IN. REALLY? I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE MY 3 YEAR OLD GRANDSON RIDES IN BOTH THESE CARS. I AM FILING THIS HOPING SOMEONE CONTACTS ME. NEXT STEP IS KEN AMARO. *TR
