2004 CHEVROLET AVEO Complaints

CD PLAYER GETS TOO HOT. IT HAS MELTED A CD. I RUN IT FOR 15 MINUTES AND YOU CAN'T EVEN TOUCH THE FACE OF IT OR THE CD ITSELF. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY ITS NORMAL. I BELIEVE THAT WITH THE CLOCK, THE CD PLAYER, AND THE IGNITION (& KEY) GETTING PRETTY HOT THAT IT'S AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. *NM

THE LOCKS QUIT WORKING ON MY CAR. THEY WOULDN'T LOCK FROM THE INSIDE OR FROM THE TRANSMITTER. *NM

WHEN I FIRST RECEIVED MY 2004 CHEVY AVEO, THE CLOCK KEPT RESETTING. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE "DUPLICATED". *NM

DT: CALLER SAYS THAT WHILE SHE LETS THE VEHICLE WARM UP IT MAKES A BOOM BOOM NOISE FROM THE FUEL LINE OR PUMP. CALLER SAYS IT WILL DO THIS UNTIL IT WARMS UP AND THEN IT STOPS. DEALER SAYS IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR. MANUFACTURER SAID THE SAME THING. CALLER SAYS THE KEY GETS HOT WHILE IT THE IGNITION. *NM

DT: HAD AN ACCIDENT ; HEAD ON COLLISION AND HER AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK. GM WAS NOTIFIED.
