2006 Chevrolet Aveo

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

2006 CHEVROLET AVEO, HAVE HAD RECALL NOTICE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. HAVE HEARD NOTHING NEW, DRL FAIL REGULARLY AS WELL AS PASSENGER SIDE RUNNING LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS. HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS, SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE SLIGHT MODIFICATIONS THAT FIX IT TEMPORARILY. AVEO OWNERS NEED A PERMANENT FIX IMMEDIATELY. *TR

THE FRONT SIGNAL LIGHT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE STOPPED WORKING, SO I PURCHASED A BULB AND WHEN MY SON WENT TO REPLACE IT, IT WAS WORKING. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER, I WENT TO START THE CAR AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. THE BATTERY WAS CHARGED AND IT WORKED THE NEXT DAY. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID MOTOR DID NOT WORK FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS, BUT RECENTLY, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THIS SOUNDS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE DRL, BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART. *TR
