2007 CHEVROLET AVEO Complaints

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 3 MONTHS AND KNOW ONCE IT'S ON WON'T WORK IF AND WHEN I NEED IT. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND SOMETHING THAT GM SHOULD BE ADDRESSING AS IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURER RELATED ISSUE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE DOWN TO MY LOCAL AUBURN CHEVEROLET AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE CLOCK ON MY DASHBOARD WHICH WORKS PERFECTLY FINE IN ORDER TO FIX THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT AND SHOULD BE A BIG RED FLAG. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE GM ADDRESS THESE ISSUES INSTEAD OF SWEEPING IT UNDER THEIR PROVERBIAL RUG. THEY ARE PUTTING CUSTOMERS AT GREAT RISK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 CHEVROLET AVEO. WHILE MAKING A TURN AT 20 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE POLICE WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS UNINJURED; HOWEVER, THE PREGNANT DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,859.

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE COMPLETELY BURNING OUT. I'VE CHANGED THEM A COUPLE TIMES AND MY FATHER TOLD ME MY WIRES KEEP BURNING OUT. ALSO MY FUEL SYSTEM KEEPS NOT GIVING ENOUGH FUEL. I KEEP GETTING A GAS LINE EMISSIONS WHEN I GET A CHECK ON MY CAR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THEN OFF A FEW DAYS LATER. ALSO MY SEATBELT IN THE BACK KEEP COMING OUT.

BEEN SMELLING SOMETHING THAT SIMILAR TO PLASTIC BUT COULD NOT LOCATE ANYTHING BUT NOW I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE FUSES BLOWN FOR LOW BEAMS AND DRL. ULTIMATELY ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS HAVE NOW GONE OUT ALONG WITH NO TAIL LIGHTS OR LOW BEAMS OR DRLS AT ALL AND NO HORN. DEALER IS SAYING THAT THE FUSE BLOCK IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED BUT THE CAR ONLY HAS 83,000 AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OUT THERE FOR THE DRL MODULE MELTING OR CATCHING ON FIRE BUT LOW AND BEHOLD MY CAR IS NOT ON THAT RECALL BUT LOOKS TO ME THAT IT SHOULD BE. IN ADDITION TO THE LIGHTS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, THE GEAR SHIFTER WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK AND THE KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. I DID ALSO THINK IT ODD THAT MY KEY WOULD BE HOT TO TOUCH WHEN IT WOULD RELEASE ON PREVIOUS OCCASIONS LEADING UP TO THIS FAILURE. THE FIRST INSTANCE WHEN THE FAILURE INITIALLY STARTED WITH THE LIGHTS AND ALL THAT I COULD NOTICE WAS WHILE I WAS IN A PARKING LOT CRANKING THE CAR, BUT THE SECOND TIME AFTER CHANGING OUT THE FUSE, THE FUSE BLEW AGAIN AFTER I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD IN 5 O'CLOCK TRAFFIC.

I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THE CHEVROLET AVEO ONLY HAS FRONTAL AIR BAGS AND SHOULD HAVE MORE AIR BAGS ESPECIALLY FOR SIDE COLLISIONS.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALER (HUBER AUTOMOTIVE) NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY CLAIMED TO FIX IT BUT IT KEEPS RETURNING ON

HAVE TO CHANGE HEADLIGHTS EVERY OTHER MONTH. WHEN I CHANGE ONE THE OTHER WENT OUT IMMEDIATELLY. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CHANGE HEADLIGHT BULBS. TOLD DEALER HE SAID BY BULB FROM THEM?? I BOUGHT CORRECT BULB???? THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I BOUGHT CAR IN 2010..IVE REPLACED OVER 7/8 TIMES.

WHILE DRIVING ON I95 MY RPMS DROPPED TO ZERO WITHOUT WARNING AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN. IT HAD 63,504 MILES ON IT AND THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN DONE LESS THAN 1600 MILES EARLIER. NO LIGHTS OR WARNING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD SAFELY.

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS MODULE HAD A RECALL ON IT. I MADE AN APT AT THE LOCAL DEALER LAST WEEK AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY TO GET THE RECALL DONE. RECALL NUMBER IS 14236. THEY DID NOT FIX IT, SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART EVEN THOUGH I CONTACTED THEM LAST WEEK AND GAVE THEM THE VIN AND THE RECALL NUMBER. I PICKED UP THE CAR WITH THE INTENT OF TAKING IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND IT CAUGHT FIRE ON THE WAY HOME AND DESTROYED THE CAR.
