ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
12/30/07I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK,THE BATTERY LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING, THEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO LOSE POWER,ALL OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WENT OFF,THE RADIO AND HEATER WENT OFF,THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMED. I WENT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY, THEY HAD IT UNTIL THE 1/3/08"COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM".WE PICKED UP THE CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AND DROVE IT HOME. THAT NIGHT,THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN, BUT THE CAR DIED AND WOULD NOT START. WE HAD IT TOWED. THEY SAID THAT IT STARTED FOR THEM THE NEXT DAY, AND THEY "COULD NOT DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM, IT HAD A LOW BATTERY, THEY CHARGED THE BATTERY. ON THE 17TH THE CAR HAD THE LOW BATTERY LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT ON AGAIN WHILE DRIVING, SO WE WERE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT ON THE WAY, IT HAD THE SAME "SYMPTOMS" AND DIED,IT WAS TOWED. THEY SAID"COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM". ALL THEY DID WAS "DRIVE IT 15 MILES ONE DAY" THEN "6 MILES ANOTHER". I PICKED THE CAR UP ON THE 21ST BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIND OR FIX THE PROBLEM. THAT EVENING THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN THE CAR CAME ON AND STAYED ON, SO I BROUGHT IT IN ON THE WAY TO WORK,THEY "FORGOT" TO CLEAR THE CODES IN THE CAR COMPUTER. ON 1/29 (DAYTIME), THE CAR DIED AGAIN, WITH THE SAME "SYMPTOMS" LEADING UP TO IT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM COME AND LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID ON SITE "SOMETHING LOOKS LOOSE",SO THEY HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR THE NEXT DAY THE ONLY THING THEY DID WAS REPLACE THE BATTERY. I GOT INTO MY CAR AND TURNED IT ON, AND THE BRAKE AND BATTERY LIGHT STAYED ON EVEN WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED. I WENT INTO THE SERVICE CENTER TO TELL THEM THE PROBLEM, AND THEY KEPT MY CAR UNTIL FRIDAY. THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. TODAY, 2/7,I TURNED ON MY CAR, AND THE BRAKE AND BATTERY LIGHT STAYED ON WHILE I STARTED DRIVING TO WORK. I INTENDED TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT BEFORE I GOT THERE THE TWO LIGHTS(BATTERY AND BRAKE)TURNED OFF. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS, SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
I HAVE A2006 CHEVROLET AVEO. I NOTICED THAT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS SAGGING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 26,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE SPRINGS ON THE LEFT SIDE HAD TO BE CHANGED. WITHIN A WEEK THE SPRINGS WERE REPLACED. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME , ONE MILE FROM THE DEALER, I NOTICED THE NEXT DAY THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL SAGGING. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HE SAID TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK IN. THIS WAS DONE. AFTER A DAY, I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS 1/4 INCH LOWER ON THE LEFT SIDE THEN THE RIGHT. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE DEALER CHECKED ANOTHER 06 VEHICLE AND AN 08 VEHICLE THAT THEY HAD ON THE PROPERTY AND FOUND THAT THE WERE ALSO SAGGING. THEN THEN CONTACTED GM AND WERE TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WITH IN SPECKS. I WAS GIVEN THE NUMBER FOR GM AND I MADE A CALL TO THEM. AFTER AN HOUR ON THE PHONE AND TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WITHIN SPECKS AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IF A RECALL WERE TO COME UP RE: MY COMPLAINT, THEY WOULD CONTACT ME . I WAS ALSO GIVE A COMPLAINT #[XXX]. IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE FROM THE REAR YOU WOULD ALSO SEE THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAGGING TO THE EXTENT THAT THE NAKED EYE CAN SEE IT. I MAY NOT AN ENGINEER BUT THE NAKED I CAN SEE THE SAG. I DO KNOW THAT WHEN A VEHICLE SAGES TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER, YOU CHANGE THE CENTER OF GRAVITY. AT THIS POINT I FEEL THE VEHICLE IS A HAZARD ON THE ROAD AND UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I ALSO CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE WHO HAS MADE A COMPLAINT TO GM. IF YOU CAN BE OF HELP TO ME IN THIS MATTER, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. I AM ALSO LOOKING IN TO THE LEMON LAW TO SEE IF I HAVE A CASE. BY THE WAY I LIKE THE CAR, I JUST WANT IT FIXED AND HOPE THIS PROBLEM DOSE NOT CAUSE A PROBLEM TO ANY OTHER OWNER'S. THANK YOU *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FRE

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2005 CHEVY AVEO RPM'S STICK AND WILL NOT BE FORCED DOWN BY DE-ACCELERATION OR HITTING THE BRAKE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING ON AN IRREGULAR BASIS SINCE PURCHASE (AUGUST 2005). I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE CHEVY DEALER AT LEAST 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME REASON IN ADDITION TO OTHER TIMES WHEN THE DASH BOARD LIGHT WARNINGS COME ON. THE DEALER CAN NOT RECREATE OR FIX. THE DASH BOARD LIGHT DID COME ON BACK IN JUNE 07 RE: ELECTRICAL AND THE FIX TO THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE DID FOR A FEW MONTHS FIX THE RPM STICKING. HOWEVER THE INTERMITTENT RPM STICKING HAS RETURNED (JAN 2008). THE RPM'S STICK USUALLY BETWEEN 35 TO 65 MPH AND IN ANY TYPE OF WEATHER. USUALLY WHEN JUST STARTING HOME FROM WORK OR ON HIGHWAY DRIVING. *TR

AIR BAGS
I HAVE A 2006 CHEVROLET AVEO 5 DOOR. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. AT 32,000 MILES THE AIRBAG MIL CAME ON, NOT DUE TO ANY ACCIDENT OR OTHER EVENT WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP; THEY SAID THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO A LOOSE CONNECTION AT THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH THEY HAD CORRECTED. LATER THAT DAY, WHILE DRIVING, THE AIRBAG MIL CAME ON ONCE AGAIN, NOT DUE TO ANY ACCIDENT OR OTHER EVENT WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A "NORMAL" PROBLEM ON THIS CAR AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO RETURN THE CAR TO THEM FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. I AM CURRENTLY PURSUING GETTING THE CAR REPAIRED BY A DIFFERENT DEALER. I AM CONCERNED, AS I HAVE HEARD OF MANY AIRBAG-RELATED ISSUES WITH AVEOS. I WOULD NOT THINK THAT THIS IS A "NORMAL" PROBLEM ON ANY TYPE OF VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE OVERALL QUALITY AND RELIABILITY OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM ON THESE VEHICLES. PLEASE NOTE, "AIRBAG MIL" ABOVE SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN TO MEAN THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" INDICATOR; THE MIL IS THE RED LIGHT INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, NOT THE ORANGE LIGHT INDICATING ITS STATUS. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF MORE DATA ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON AVEOS COULD BE MADE AVAILABLE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM:SHOES/LININGS
REAR BRAKES LOCKED ON APPLICATION, LUCKILY RIGHT IN MY DRIVEWAY. RELEASED BY ROCKING BACK AND FORTH, ONLY TO LOCK AGAIN....PULLED DRUMS MYSELF TO FIND ALL FOUR LININGS DELAMINATED FROM SHOES! PHONED GM CANADA AND GOT ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE UNTIL I MENTIONED THE FACT THAT I CAREFULLY TOOK PICTURES AND IT WAS LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS KILLED! HAVING A SUDDEN CHANGE OF HEART, THEY PHONED MY DEALERSHIP AND ARRANGED FOR A FREE SET OF SHOES, WHICH I INSTALLED, SINCE I LIVE THREE HOURS FROM A DEALERSHIP. I'M SATISFIED WITH THE PROCESS, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THIS COULD CONCEIVABLY HAPPEN TO ANY AVEO AT ANY TIME! MINE HAD 70000 KMS. (45,000 MILES) ON IT AT THE TIME, 85% LININGS! HAVE YOURS CHECKED!! NO DUST IN THE DRUMS, EITHER. SCARY!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SUSPENSION
FIRST THING THAT WENT WRONG WITH THE CAR IS THE CLOCK FOR NO REASON AT ALL IT CHANGES TO 12:00 IT DOES IT WHEN THE CAR IS ON AND RUNNING IT ALSO DOES IT WHEN YOU FIRST TURN THE CAR ON. THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND HAS FAILED A SECOND TIME AGAIN. SECOND IS MY GEAR SHIFTER I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC AND IT STICKS IN PARK ALL THE TIME AND ALL YEAR LONG THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS SITTING AT A GAS PUMP AND I WAS COMPLETELY STUCK AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE SO I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY DEALER AND THEY FIXED IT BUT IT STUCK 10 + MORE TIMES SINCE 5 TIMES I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND 3 TIMES IT WAS REPAIRED. I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2004 AND TOO THIS DAY IT STILL STICKS I ACTUALLY HAVE PARTS BEING ORDERED AGAIN TO GET IT FIXED. THIRD IS MY KEY AND ALARM I CAN'T USE MY SECURITY ALARM ON MY CAR BECAUSE WHEN ITS SET ON IT GOES OFF ABOUT EVERY HALF HOUR FOR NO REASON. FOURTH IS MY HEAD LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS. I WAS TRAVELING IN A BIG CITY BUFFALO WHEN ALL THREE OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING I WENT TO AN AUTO SHOP TO GET THEM REPLACED AND THEY REPLACED THEM RIGHT THERE AND THE NEW ONES WOULDN'T EVEN WORK. MY HEADLIGHTS GO OFF WHEN EVER AND TURN BACK ON AFTER AWHILE. EVEN WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE STREET BUT THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT PART. FIFTH IS MY BALL JOINT WAS DEFECTED AND I WENT THREW 4 PAIRS OF TIRES WITHIN 2 YEARS BEFORE MY DEALER REALIZED WHAT THAT PROBLEM WAS. SIXTH BOTH THE REAR STRUT HOLDING MOUNTS JUST FELL OFF CAR AND MY STRUTS WENT THREW MY BACK BOTTOM TRUNK. THE DEALER SAID HE NEVER SEEM ANYTHING LIKE IT. THE RIGHT SIDE WENT FIRST AND THAT WAS FIXED THEN ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE LEFT SIDE WENT I REPLACED EVERYTHING BRAND NEW AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN A THIRD TIME THE LEFT STRUT AND HOLDING MOUNT FAILED. I ACTUALLY HAVE PARTS ORDERED FOR THAT AS WELL RIGHT NOW. A SMALLER COMPLAINT IS THE CIG. LIGHTER OUTLET DOESN'T WORK, AND THAT'S BEING REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME. *TR

AIR BAGS, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:HEATER CORE
THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD NOT TURN OFF, STILL AT THE DEALER WAITING FOR A PART TO COME IN, IT WAS A FAULTY FUSE IN THE STEERING WHEEL IF IN A ACCIDENT AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. 2.THE HEAT STARTED WORKING LESS AND LESS, WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP THE AIR WOULD COME OUT COLD, IT FELT LIKE I HAD THE AIR CONDITIONING ON. IF IT SAT FOR TOO LONG THE TEMPERATURE WOULD START TO RISE AND IT WOULD START TO OVERHEAT. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET AVEO PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN MY WIFE WHO WEIGHTS ABOUT 130 LBS. I HAVE HAD THE AUTO INTO THE DEALERSHIP 7 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN FEB 2007 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. THEY CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT COME UP WITH A FIX FOR IT. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER RELATIONS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY ARE NO HELP EITHER. THEY CLAIM THEY REPLACED EVERY THING CONNECTED WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM, BUT IT STILL DON'T WORK. MY WIFE WILL NOT RIDE IN THE CAR THE WAY IT IS, SO I HAVE A CAR THAT I CAN'T TAKE MY WIFE WITH ME WHEN I GO ANY PLACE. WOULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM FOR ME, AND LET ME KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT. *TR

SUSPENSION
I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY AVEO (ONLY HAD IT FOR SIX MONTHS) THAT PULLS TO THE LEFT WHENEVER I LET GO OF THE WHEEL. NOT JUST A SLIGHT PULL BUT A SERIOUS PULL. THE SERVICE PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT WHEN THEY ASKED THEIR MAIN TECH'S THEY WERE TOLD THAT'S JUST THE NATURE OF SMALLER CARS. ONLY THING THEY SAID TO DO WAS TO CHANGE THE TIRES FROM ONE SIDE TO ANOTHER, THAT COULD FIX IT. WELL IT DIDN'T. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY CAN DO WHAT'S CALLED AN ADJUSTMENT MISALIGNMENT, WON'T THAT CAUSE TROUBLE WITH THE OTHER PARTS OF THE CAR? I HAVE HAD SMALLER CARS THAN THIS AND THEY NEVER DID PULL TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. WHY DOES THIS ONE ACT DIFFERENT, AND NOT SINCE I BOUGHT IT BUT IT JUST STARTED? I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THE COMPANY NOT DOING ANYTHING TO CORRECT IT. *TR
