ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT I REACHED APPROX 20MPH. AT THIS POINT, THE THROTTLE CEASED TO RESPOND. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND LET IT IDLE. EVEN IN PARK, THE THROTTLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE FOR A WHILE. FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO GIVE IT SOME GAS AND IT IDLED UP TO 2200 RPM AND STAYED THERE. IT WOULDN'T BACK DOWN. I COULDN'T GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED A WHILE, TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED THE FOLLOWING AFTERNOON AFTER HAVING LET THE CAR WARM UP AND AFTER HAVING ACCELERATED TO 45MPH WITH NO ISSUE. I PULLED OVER AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL THAT TIME. CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WELL, NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHT FAILED. I HAVE OWNED THIS AUTO 4 YEARS AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 6 HEADLIGHTS. I JUST GOT A TICKET BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHT WAS OUT, AND I HAD REPLACED A HEADLIGHT LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE SO MANY HEADLIGHTS IN ONE VEHICLE IN ALL MY 49 YEARS OF DRIVING. THESE HEADLIGHTS CANNOT BE REPLACED BY THE OWNER, BECAUSE IT REQUIRES SPECIALIZED TOOLS. I HAVE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE EVERY TIME A HEADLIGHT GOES OUT, SO THE COST IN 3X WHAT THE LAMP ALONE COSTS AT A PARTS STORE. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

ENGINE
DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND CAR STARTS SHAKING AND IF YOU DO NOT PRESS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, THE CAR WILL GO DEAD. IF AT RED LIGHT, THE RPM NEEDLE GOES UP AND DOWN. IF YOU DO NOT CONSTANTLY PRESS ON GAS, IT WILL GO DEAD. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY HEADLIGHTS AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2012. I HAVE A 2005 COROLLA AND I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY HEADLIGHTS MAYBE TWICE SINCE 2005. I AM ALSO HAVING OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES INSIDE. THE "SEAT BELT" LIGHT THAT IS ABOVE CLOCK GOES ON AND OFF AS WELL AS MY GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS. WITH THE GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS, JUST HIT IT AND THEY WILL COME BACK ON. ALL OF THESE ISSUES COULD NOT BE FOUND WHEN I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY. NOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I WILL BE GETTING A NEW CAR SOON. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO NOT BUY THIS CAR! THERE'S A REASON THEY STOPPED SELLING THEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF BUYING MY AVEO I HAD TO REPLACE HEADLIGHTS 10X I KEPT TAKING THE CAR IN TO GET CHECKED AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE, THEN ONE TIME THEY SAID JUST NEEDED A BETTER FUSE (THE CHANGED IT) WORKED FOR ABOUT A YEAR THEN SIGNAL LIGHTS KEPT GOING OUT, THEN TAIL LIGHTS. THOUGHT THERE WAS SHORT TOOK CAR IN FEW TIMES THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG. TIRED OF TAKING THE CAR IN, I AM A VERY BUSY PERSON. SO WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 6-7 YEARS NOW THE DASH LIGHTS HAVE COMPLETELY GONE OUT NOW AND WON'T COME BACK ON, LEAVING US WITH 1 HEADLIGHT, 1 TAIL LIGHT AND ONLY OCCASIONAL REAR SIGNALS. AND ALWAYS SMELLS LIGHT WIRES BURNING. IN SEPT OF 2014 WE RECEIVED A LETTER RECALLING THE CAR FOR LIGHTING PROBLEMS AND STILL NOTHING ABOUT GETTING FIXED!!! THIS IS ONLY ONE OF MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS CAR. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DASH LIGHTS DID NOT TURN ON WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE TURNED ON. ALSO, RUNNING LIGHTS DID NOT TURN ON AFTER MY HEADLIGHTS WERE TURNED ON (FRONT AND REAR RIGHT). LEFT REAR TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THIS WAS DUE TO THE SPLICE PACK MELTING. HE ALSO INFORMED ME THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHEVROLET AVEO'S. THIS SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURERS ISSUE AND NOT THE OWNERS IF IT IS A KNOWN HAZARDOUS ISSUE. *JS
