ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS ON MY NEW 2009 CHEVROLET AVEO DO NOT WORK. THE FUSE IS FINE BUT IT APPEARS TO BE A BURNT CONNECTOR IN THE ENGINE FUSE BOX. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT HUNDREDS OF AVEOS HAVE HAD THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

STRUCTURE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DUST AND DEBRIS FROM THE ROAD ENTERS THE VEHICLE. THE DUST MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO BREATH AND SEE WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER IN WHICH A TECHNICIAN STATED THAT BECAUSE THE VENTS ARE LOCATED IN THE WHEEL WELLS, EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF DUST CAN ENTER. HE THEN ADDED THAT THERE WAS NO AVAILABLE REMEDY FOR THE FAILURE. SHE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS ADVISED BY A REPRESENTATIVE THAT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE SITS LOW TO THE GROUND, DUST INTRUSION IS NORMAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 800. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2900. UPDATED 10/13/09. *LJ THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM WHICH STATED WHAT SHE WAS EXPERIENCING WAS NORMAL. BY FEDERAL LAW, THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED WITH VENTING IN THE TRUNK OVER THE WHEEL WELLS. AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF USE ON DIRT ROADS WOULD ALLOW DUST TO ENTER THE VEHICLE VIA THE TRUNK. IT ALSO STATED THE VEHICLE WAS LOW TO THE GROUND AS WELL WILL ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO THE CONDITION AND THERE WAS NO FACTORY DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 10/15/09

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN OUR NEW 2009 CHEVROLET AVEO. IT HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER JUMPED OR WAS SLIGHTLY BUMPED (ALTHOUGH I DON'T RECALL BUMPING IT) FROM DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL AT 65 MPH. FORTUNATELY ABLE TO MAKE IT TO SHOULDER TO RETURN TO DRIVE POSITION (DIDN'T KNOW IF GOING FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE AT HIGH SPEED WOULD HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE). REPORTED PROBLEM TO AUTO DEALER WHO SAID THE TRANSMISSION IS NORMAL, DOES SAME THING ON COBALT MODEL! NOTE: WE CAN PUSH SHIFTER FROM DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL AT ANY SPEED WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER. HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONE TIME SO FAR. *TR
