IN OCTOBER 2016 MY 2006 CHEVROLET AVEO LS HATCHBACK'S BATTERY DIED, UNABLE TO JUMPSTART ANYMORE. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH HAS ILLUMINATED SOLID SINCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE GM DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TOO WASN'T ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THE VEHICLE HAD 130,000 MILES AT THE TIME THE BATTERY DIED AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I NOW DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE WITH ME BECAUSE I'M AFRAID THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL MALFUNCTION.

IN FEAR OF A FIRE IN MY AVEO!
Aug 29, 2016
DASH AND SHIFTER LIGHTS WENT OUT AND CAME BACK ON AND EVENTUALLY WENT OUT COMPLETELY- WOULD NOT COME ON UPON STARTUP. SOME FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS AS WELL. BLINKERS & FLASHERS STILL WORK. HAVE CHECKED ALL FUSES AND BULBS. NEEDS ELECTRICAL REPAIR.
Aug 10, 2016
ON A WINTER MORNING I WENT OUT AND STARTED MY CAR TO GO TO WORK, I GOT ON THE ROAD AND REALIZED THAT MY DASHBOARD , HEATING CONTROL, AND SHIFTER LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. I MOVED THE SETTINGS SWITCH AND NOTHING CAME ON. I HAVE CHECKED THE FUSES. THEY ARE FINE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY AVEOS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. AND THE ONLY FIX IS TO REWIRE THE SYSTEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. IF I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP IT'S GOING TO COST ANYWHERE BETWEEN 50-100 DOLLARS OR MORE. IF ITS A PROBLEM TO THE CONSUMERS THEN IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT JUST A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. IF THIS IS A WIRING ISSUE THEN IT COULD POSSIBLY END UP CAUSING A FIRE.

Dec 07, 2011
THERE WAS NO SPECIFIC EVENT LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN MY 2006 CHEVY AVEO. THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING (MADE OF PLASTIC) COMPLETELY BROKE APART AND ALL THE ANTIFREEZE FLOWED OUT. THERE WAS NO WARNING. I HAVE ORDERED A NEW HOUSING AND THERMOSTAT, WHICH CHEVY HAS RE-DESIGNED TO ALUMINUM....NO LONGER PLASTIC, AND MY HUSBAND WILL BE REPLACING. OBVIOUSLY, CHEVY KNEW THERE WAS AN ISSUE OR THEY WOULD HAVE STUCK WITH THE PLASTIC VERSION. I BELIEVE THIS ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED. THANK YOU *TR

2306 CHEVROLET AVEO LT THERMOSTAT HOUSING CONSISTS OF TWO PLASTIC PARTS GLUED TOGETHER WITH THERMOSTAT BETWEEN THE TWO HALVES. THE GLUED JOINT CAME APART AND THE THERMOSTAT FELL OUT ON THE ROAD. THE COOLANT PUMPED OUT AND THE ENGINE SEVERELY OVERHEATED. TOWING CHARGES FROM A REMOTE HIGHWAY LOCATION WERE $190. REPAIR AT LAMB CHEVROLET IN PRESCOTT, AZ, TOTALED $195. THIS WAS FOUND TO BE A COMMON AVEO PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A FACTORY RECALL ITEM! *TR

WHILE MY 2006 AVEO WAS FACING OUT FROM A DRIVEWAY TO ENTER A FOUR LANE ROAD, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO RACE WILDLY, THE CAR BUCKED, I PUT MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE. I SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN AND RESTARTED IT; THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RACE. I REPEATED THIS AND WAITED LONGER BEFORE RESTARTING; THIS TIME THE ENGINE WAS AT A NORMAL IDLE. CONSIDERING EVERYTHING GOING ON; I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD BE MADE AWARE. *TR

Feb 28, 2014
PARKED THE CAR IN A PARKING SPOT AT A STORE, WENT INSIDE FOR A LITTLE WHILE, CAME BACK OUT TO HAVE THE SHIFTER NOT SHIFT FROM PARK AFTER BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. I'VE ALREADY TRIED REPLACING THE BRAKE SWITCH NEAR THE BRAKE PEDAL AND REPLACED THE BRAKE TRANSAXLE SOLENOID. NEITHER OPTION HAS WORKED. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. $80 LATER, THEY WANT OVER 400 TO FIX THE SHIFTER BY REPLACING THE ENTIRE SHIFT ASSEMBLY. FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE, THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE AUTOMATICALLY TAKEN CARE OF BY THE DEALERSHIP AT NO COST TO US. IT STILL IS NOT FIXED BECAUSE WE CANNOT AFFORD TO SPEND ANOTHER 400 DOLLARS TO FIX SOMETHING THAT FAILED RIGHT AFTER THE 36,000 MARK. *TR

NOW 2 YEARS LATER I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD I HAVE TO REPLACE THE AXLE FOR THE SECOND TIME. I AM WORKING WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE..

IT HAS A PROBLEM IN THE REAR END, WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A FAILURE OF THE REAR AXLE BEARINGS AND IT ALLOWS THE REAR AXLE TO MOVE ABOUT ONE INCH FROM LEFT BACK TO RIGHT, AROUND CORNERS AND ACROSS BUMPS. WE WERE TOLD BY OUR MECHANIC IT WOULD BE OVER 800 DOLLARS TO FIX, WHICH WE DO NOT HAVE. IN ADDITION, OUR MECHANIC STATED THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE INITIATED A MASSIVE RECALL. I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR RIGHT NOW AND AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL CAUSE ME TO WRECK. *TR

FRONT TIRES HAD UNEVEN FRONT TIRE WEAR. OUTSIDE EDGE OF FRONT TIRES WORE MORE QUICKLY THEN INSIDE EDGE. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN CAR WAS NEW AND ALIGNMENTS WERE PERFORMED. THE ALIGNMENTS DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. THE ORIGINAL TIRES LAST LESS THAN 30,000 MILES DUE TO THE PROBLEM. THE TIRES WOULD'VE LAST LESS TIME IF NOT FOR FREQUENT TIRE ROTATES. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED UNTIL THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT STRUT MOUNTS IN ABOUT 2010. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE REAPPEARING. *TR

MY 06 CHEVY AVEO HAS HAD ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED IT LAST YEAR. UNFORTUNATELY I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS PAPERWEIGHT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVEROLET AGAIN. THATS MY LARGEST ISSUE IS THAT I BOUGHT A CHEVY. AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER HAVING THE BATTERY DEAD TWICE BECAUSE OF THE ALTERNATOR GOING BAD TWICE. IM UP FOR INSPECTION AND THIS CAR WILL NOT PASS. READING HOW THIS ISSUE HAS NEVER BEEN RESOLVED FOR ANYONE AND CHEVROLET WONT OWN UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE, WHATS THE POINT IN EVEN TRYING BUT TO THROW THIS VEHICLE IN THE GARBAGE? LAST TIME I TOOK MY AVEO IN FOR A RECALL ON THE MODULE, THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT AND THEY DID NOT BECAUSE ITS STILL BURNING UP, SO I JUST TRY TO NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD AND THREE YEAR OLD AND IF THOSE AIRBAGS RANDOMLY DEPLOY AND WE GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR NEVER TURNS OFF, EVEN WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES PERIODICALLY STOP WORKING AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER FUSE BLOWS FREQUENTLY. ALSO HAVE TO FREQUENTLY USE THE SHIFT-LOCK RELEASE FEATURE IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. HAVE HAD PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE KEY GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ALSO PERIODICALLY STOP WORKING (THEY TURN ON AND OFF RANDOMLY). HAVE NEEDED TO HAVE DAMAGED WIRES IN THE HOOD COMPARTMENT FUSE BOX REPLACED, BUT ALL PROBLEMS KEEP COMING BACK. CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING THE CAR IN FOR REPAIRS AND CANNOT AFFORD A NEW CAR, SO I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING WITH ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. I DO NOT EVER FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR AND AVOID TAKING IT ANYWHERE UNLESS I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO. MANY OF THESE SAME PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER OWNERS AND THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE RECALLS THAN JUST THE CURRENT FIRE HAZARD RECALL. *TR

MY KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION BETWEEN THE "ACCESSORY" SETTING AND HAVING THE CAR RUNNING. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM; RECOMMENDED FIX WAS TO REMOVE FUSE FOR RADIO, SO I DID.

This is happening to my car. Would like them to fix it . Manufacture defect and it is a huge safety issue. Effect pedal function. Some customers may comment on an intermittent malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) being Illuminated with a message or an indicator that displays Reduced Engine Power. The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P2138 - Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 1-2 Correlation set as Current or in History. This condition may be caused by water intrusion into the instrument panel (IP) to body harness connector, which carries the APP sensor signals to the ECM/PCM. This water intrusion results in a voltage difference between APP Sensor 1 and APP Sensor 2 that exceeds a predetermined value for more than a calibrated period of time, setting P2138. This technical bulletin provides repair information for repairing the ip to body harness connector to correct a customer concern for intermittent malfunction indicator lamp (mil) illuminated with reduced engine power displayed and dtc p2138 set. Known issue. Has not been recalled yet. https://www.tsbsearch.com/Chevrolet/07-06-04-019E

AFTER 6 MONTHS, I CONTACTED CHEVROLET WHO REPLIED THAT THE PARTS WERE STILL NOT READY AFTER NO RESPONSE FROM CHEVROLET. I HAD TO DO THE LEG WORK MYSELF.
