ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. PRIOR TO BURNING SMELL, THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ALL INSIDE DASH LIGHTS AND CLOCK LIGHTS AND GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A MAJOR CITY STREET. ALL LIGHTS STAYED OFF FOR ABOUT 20 MINS. DAYTIME RUNNING LIGTS NEVER CAME BACK ON. CLOCK LIGHTS STILL GOES OFF AN ON. DASH LIGHTS AND GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS CAME BACK ON ONCE. BUT HAVE BEEN OFF A MONTH NOW. REPORTED TO GM. RECALL ON DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS FIXED FREE. BUT THEY SAID NO RECALL ON WIRING OF LIGHTS. I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER THAT HAS THOS PROBLEM THERE ARE MANY WHO HAVE WRITTEN COMPLAIYS ON GM. RECALL WEBSITE. I HAVE PICTURES OF BURNT FUSE CONNECTOR RELAY THAT CONTROLS ALL LIGHTS. 10 MINS OF MECHANIC CHECKING THE PART WAS SO HOT HE COULDN'T TOUCH IT. ON 8/09/2016 TERRY CULLEN FIXED RECALL. I PAYED THEM $100.00 TO CHECK PROBLEM ABOUT LIGHTS THEY SAID THEY NEEDED $400 MORE DOLLARS FOR 4 HOURS OF MORE LOOKING. MY FAMILY MECHANIC FOUND PROBLEM WITH IN 10 MINS...... DEALER.. ALL ABOUT MONEY! I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE SAW THE PROBLEM OR EVEN KNEW IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
LESS THAN 30,000 MILES. PERSISTENT PROBLEM (SINCE 2012): ENGINE SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD BEFORE EACH OCCURRENCE. CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. ON 08/17/2016 AROUND 11:45 A.M. CAR SHUT OFF BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING ON THE MIDDLE OF A MULTI-LANE (6+) HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL DOWN THE AUTOMATIC WINDOW (IT WORKED ) ON THE DRIVER SIDE, I PRESSED THE WARNING LIGHT (IT WORKED). AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS CAR STARTED, AND I DROVE AWAY. THE CAR WORKED WELL FOR A WHILE, TOOK SIDE ROADS(35MPH SPEED LIMIT). CAR SHUT OFF BY ITSELF A SECOND TIME. I WAS ABLE TO RESTARTED AND MADE IT TO A SAFE LOCATION. I HAVE REPORTED THIS LAST SITUATION TO CHEVROLET AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALER, AND ONLY AFTER PRESSURING THEY PROVIDED A 100.00 DOLLAR COUPON TO GET THE CAR CHECKED. CHEVROLET CLAIMS THEY HAD NO INFORMATION ON MY CAR'S RECORD OF SHUTTING DOWN BY ITSELF, THAT THEY DEALER ONLY REPORTS THE REPAIRS. HOWEVER, ONE OF THE DEALER INVOICES FROM 2012 READS: "VEHICLE STALLED", " ANOTHER INVOICE READS "CAR DIED ONCE", ETC. AND ON THE NOTES IT INCLUDES "UNABLE TO REPLICATE CLIENTS CONCERNS". JUST BECAUSE THE DEALER CANNOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE, IT DOES NOT MEAN THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE. THE CAR SHUT DOWN ON US AND WE WERE LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF A MULTI-LANE HIGHWAY WITH CARS GOING 65+MPH. THE SUDDEN COMPLETE SHUT OFF OF THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF ANY ROAD IS A GREAT DANGER NOT ONLY TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR BUT TO OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL. OTHER PROBLEMS: CLOCK/TIME GETS RESTARTED EACH TIME I START THE CAR (AND IT IS NEVER RIGHT). IN MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, DURING THE MORNING, THE CAR WOULD NOT START (BUT RADIO AND WINDOWS WORK), THE CAR WOULD TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES TO GET STARTED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY AND IAC(IDLE CONTROL ASSEMBLY) .I HAVE TO TRY TO CRANK IT 7-8 TIME BEFORE IT WILL STAY RUNNING.I AM PHYSICALLY DISABLED AND ON A FIXED INCOME ,THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WILL COST $1000 TO $1500 TO FIX THIS CAR WHICH THERE IS NO WAY I CAN PAY THIS LARGE AMOUNT. I BELIEVE THAT CHEVORLET SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND PUT THERE DEFECT ON THE RECALL LIST.

SUSPENSION
IDENTIFIED ONLINE THERE WAS A PRIOR ISSUE DOCUMENTED FOR 2011 CHEVROLET AVEO WITH FRONT END SUSPENSION. I AM BEING TOLD BY DEALER THIS IS A WHEEL BEARING ISSUE THERE WERE 2 NUMBERS ASSIGNED THAT BEGIN WITH AN " N AND T". I BECAME AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE INFORMATION I LOCATED AND THE NOISE IT MADE WHEN IN MOTION. MY CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY BU CHEVROLET AND THIS IS REALLY A MAJOR CONCERN TO LEARN OF THIS PROBLEM. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2012 AND STRANGELY THIS AUTOMOBILE IS NOT NO LONGER A PRODUCT OF CHEVROLET. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ADVISED OF A SAFETY RECALL AND DO NOT WANT TO BE A FATALITY AND WHEN THERE WERE OPPORTUNITIES TO CORRECT THE SITUATION BY CHEVROLET. I DO VALUE MY LIFE AS WELL AS OTHERS WHO ARE NOT BEING NOTIFIED OF DEFECTS IN AUTOMOBILES THEY PURCHASE. WE DESERVE BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUPPORT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I AM WRITING TO YOU WITH REGARDS TO MY CHEVY AVEO 2009 LT,WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. MY WIFE USUALLY DRIVES THIS CAR AND LAST WEEK, SUDDENLY MY CAR WOULDN'T STOP RUNNING. SHE WAS AT HER WORK PLACE AND SHE TOOK OFF THE KEYS BUT LATER REALIZED THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING, SO SHE RETURNED BACK AND COULDN'T SHUT OFF THE ENGINE.. SO I HAD TO LEAVE MY WORK AND TAKE THE CAR TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH, BUT SAID IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECENT GM IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. BUT MY QUESTION IS: A. WHY WOULD THE SWITCH FAIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, AND WHAT IF MY WIFE LEFT THE CAR RUNNING ALL DAY AND IF IT WOULD'VE TAKEN OFF BY ITSELF. B. I HAVE BEEN HEARING A LOT OF NEWS ABOUT CHEVY RECALL OF FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES, DOES THIS NOT FALL IN THAT CATEGORY? ELSE, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU COULD FIND WITH THE FAULTY SWITCH AS THIS MIGHT BE A HINDRANCE IF THE CAR DOESN'T STOP AT ALL. HOPE YOU CAN PROVIDE ME WITH A PROPER GUIDANCE OR IF THIS FELL UNDER THE RECALL ITSELF?

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS AVEO HAS ONLY 7,552 MILES AND WHEN ACCELERATED TO PULL OUT IT HAS NO POWER.WHEN YOU DO GET OUT IN ROAD IT ONLY GOES 15-20 MPG EVEN WHEN ACCELERATION IS TO THE FLOOR.I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD-TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED THEN DROVE IT ABOUT 2 MILES AND IT DID IT AGAIN-VERY DANGEROUS-UNSAFE-HOPE SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS.
