2004 CHEVROLET AVEO Complaints

THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT WHEREBY THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT WORK. THE DRIVER SEAT BELT BROKE AND A TODDLER WAS THROWN TO THE FRONT SEAT. AFTER COMPLAINING TO THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE FAILURE, GM STILL DID NOT COOPERATE. THE CONSUMER JUST RECEIVED A RECALL ON THE SEAT BELT. NHTSA RECALL 04V407000. *JB

MY CHEVROLET AVEO PULLS TO THE RIGHT, UPON ACCELERATION AND DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED. I MADE THE DEALERSHIP AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THAT IT NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT. THEY GAVE IT AN ALIGNMENT AND IT HELPED FOR A FEW WEEKS. THEN THE VEHICLE STARTING PULLING TO THE RIGHT AGAIN. I TOOK IT FOR A SECOND OPINION AND THEY SAID THE VEHICLE HAS TORQUE STEERING AND WITH THE WAY IT IS BUILT IT WILL DRIVE LIKE THIS. SUGGESTED WELDING WEIGHTS ON LEFT SIDE OF ENGINE TO MAKE IT HEAVIER ON THE LEFT SIDE, ALSO SUGGESTED A WIDER TIRE, BUT THEY WOULD NEED GM APPROVAL FIRST. THEY ALSO GAVE THE VEHICLE AN ALIGNMENT. I STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. *NM

CAR WENT THROUGH GARAGE DOOR. I PLACED CAR IN PARK TO LEAVE CAR MOMENTARILY. I T DID NOT GO INTO PARK PROPERLY AND CAR PROCEEDED FORWARD THROUGH GARAGE DOOR. THE CUP HOLDER HAD A COFFEE MUG WITH A HANDLE IN IT. I AM ASSUMING IT STOPPED CAR FROM GOING INTO PARK FULLY. I HAD LEFT CAR AND SHUT DOOR WHEN CAR BEGAN TO GO FORWARD THROUGH GARAGE DOOR. I JUMPED IN AND STOPPED CAR OR IT WOULD HAVE PROCEEDED THROUGH A WALL. IT CAUSED ABOUT 2000.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO CAR AND DOOR. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. THE SECOND TIME MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR. HE STOPPED CAR AND PROCEEDED TO PLACE CAR INTO PARK. IT WOULD NOT GO COMPLETELY INTO PARK. THE SAME COFFEE MUG WAS IN HOLDER. NO DAMAGE HAPPENED THIS INCIDENT. WE BOTH WITNESSED THE CAR REFUSING TO GO INTO PARK THE SECOND INCIDENT. *NM

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY LEFT FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE SECOND TIME CONSUMER SMELLED RUBBER, AND THE TIRE BLEW OUT AGAIN. ON THIRD OCCASION WHILE DRIVING THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT.*AK

BRAKE CALIPER BROKE WHILE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. VEHICLE WAS TOWED, DUE TO SAFTEY REASONS, TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD THE CAR. CAR WAS BOUGHT 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO FAILURE AND HAD 12 MILES ON THE CAR WHEN PURCHASED. CAR NOW HAS JUST UNDER 500 MILES.*AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHEN GETTING INTO VEHICLE AND SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT AND WHEN PUTTING THE SEAT BELT ON THERE WAS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE SEAT BELT. INSTEAD THE SEAT BELT KEPT GETTING TIGHTER AND TIGHTER. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY CLAIMED THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. THIS WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR PERSONS RIDING IN THE REAR OF VEHICLE.*AK

AVEO HAS 15K MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN INTO THE SHOP 3 OR 4 TIMES FOR A CLOCK MALFUNCTION. WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR ON THE CLOCK WILL HAVE CHANGED TIME TO AN UNDETERMINED TIME. DEALER HAS NOT FOUND THE PROBLEM YET. *AK

BOTH REAR SEAT BELTS WERE NOT WORKING. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO INDICATED TO THE CONSUMER THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SEAT BELTD DUE TO CONSUMER MISUSE OF THE SEA TBELTS. *AK

WHILE PULLING OUT FROM A STAND STILL CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE UP A SLIGHT INCLINE AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO UP THE HILL. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND CLIMBED THE INCLINE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE LAST NINE DAYS. DEALER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE, AND CLAIMED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS THE PROBLEM.*AK

THE WAY THAT WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE DESIGNED THEY ARE ALLOWING EXCESS WATER TO DISTORT THE DRIVER'S VISION WHILE DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM. DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP IS IN THE PROCESS OF FINDING A SOLUTION. *AK
