2006 Chevrolet Aveo

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HWY ABOUT 60 MPH AND TRIED TO PUSH THE GAS BUT ALL IT DID WAS SPUTTER AND SLOWDOWN. HAD TO PULL OVER AND SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. COD NOT FIND ANYTHING SO I STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND THE SAME THING. IT JUST SPUTTERS. SO I DROVE TO A SERVICE STATION (VERY SLOWLY) THAT I JUST HAD MY OIL CHANGE THE PREVIOUS DAY THINKING THEY MAY HAVE DONE SOMETHING. AFTER THEY CHECKED IT, THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING RELATED TO THEM BUT THAT THEY HOOKED IT UP TO A MACHINE AND IT WAS READING 11 DIFFERENT TYPES OF CENSORS CAUSING IT TO MISFIRE. THEY HAD JUST HAD IN A 2007 CHEVY COBALT DOING THE SAME THING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON. WONDERING IF THE RECALL FOR THE 2006 AVEO FOR THE DRL WOULD CAUSE THESE PROBLEMS?! THEY SERVICE TECH MENTIONED MORE THAN LIKELY IT IS NOT 11 CENSORS BUT JUST 1OR 2 AFFECTING THE OTHERS READ ON THE MACHINE. *TR

2006 CHEVROLET AVEO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE MULTIPLE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. IT WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO HER, THAT THE VEHICLE HAD FRAME DAMAGE, IT WAS A FLEET VEHICLE, AND THE AIR BAGS WERE REPLACED WITH USED ONES. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, A BOLT IN THE BROKE, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO COLLAPSE AND LANDED ON THE AXLE, BREAKING IT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. ALSO, SHE HAD THE AXLE REPLACED PREVIOUSLY, NOT KNOWING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FRAME. DUE TO THE FRAME DAMAGE AND WARPED UNDERCARRIAGE, A BOLT CONNECTED TO THE FRAME THAT WAS CONNECTED TO THE MOTOR MOUNT HIDDEN UNDER THE ENGINE HAD PREVIOUSLY BENT AND SEVERED 3/4 OF THE WAY THROUGH THE BOLT. IT WENT UN-DETECTED AND HER MECHANIC DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR, SINCE THE FRAME WAS NOT DISCLOSED. *JB

2006 CHEVY AVEO I GOT MY DAUGHTER THIS CAR IT SEEMED TO BE GREAT WHEN WE FIRST GOT AVEO LAST YEAR WE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE SWITCH. THERE WIRING ISSUES AIR BAG LIGHTS ON AND CLOCK COMES ON AND OFF THIS YEAR ODOMETER MILEAGE IS FADING AND HEADLIGHTS ON NO LIGHT FOR MILEAGE. LOW FUEL AND LOW WATER DOES NOT COME ON AND ON THE 7/1 AND TWO TIMES ON 7/4 HER SPEEDOMETER IS NOT READING RIGHT IT READ 15 MILES OFF FROM WHAT THE CAR IS GOING FASTER. THE THREE TIMES GETTING PULLED OVER AND SHE SAID THE GAUGE BEEN ACTING WEIRD THEN GOES BACK TO NORMAL THE ONE COP SAID I KNOW THATS WHY I DON'T HAVE ONE OF THESE CARS AND STILL GAVE HER A TICKET. SO NOW THE CAR SITS UNTIL THE RECALL BUT THE BEST THING ( NOT ) I HAVE TWO AVEOS MY HUSBANDS THAT SIT AND WE GET TO SHARE BETWEEN THE THREE OF US IS MY VAN THAT'S A DODGE. I CANT BELIEVE WIRING HEATING UP BY THE DAY TIME MODULE THAT WILL CATCH FIRE AND IT TAKING THIS LONG SAFETY AND CHEVY HAS NOTHING ON THERE SITE FOR THE RECALL WOW. *TR

I ARRIVED HOME FROM WORK ON 6/8/2014 AND WHEN I REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THE KEY WAS VERY HOT IT NEARLY BURNED MY HAND. I LITERALLY SAID "OW", I INFORMED MY FATHER WHO WAS NEARBY AND HE ASKED ME TO CHECK THE AROUND THE KEY IGNITION PANEL WHICH I DID AND IT WAS ALSO VERY HOT. I CALLED MCGEE CHEVROLET (877) 823-5348 IN RAYNHAM, MA THIS MORNING ON 6/9/2014 AND ASKED THEM ABOUT THIS, HE RAN THE VIN NUMBER AND SAID THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS CHEVY AVEO MODEL, BUT I INFORMED HIM THAT THIS SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD AND THIS COULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. HE SAID THAT THIS COULD BE THE FIRST ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE TYPE AND COULD BE A RECALL IN THE FUTURE. WE SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO GO TO THEIR SERVICE STATION AT 11 AM TODAY 6/9/2014. HE INFORMED US THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIRS AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT WE SHOULD KEEP THE RECEIPT IN CASE THERE IS A RECALL IN THE FUTURE. *TR

I DROVE FROM WORK TO LUNCH APPROX 2 MILES. PARKED THE CAR, TURNED IT OFF, GOT OUT TO GO INSIDE TO GET LUNCH, WHEN I CAME BACK AND OPENED THE CAR DOOR THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD. I WAITED A MINUTE TO SEE IF IT WOULD STOP. IT DID NOT SO CALLED 911 TO HAVE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT COME OUT. WHILE WAITING FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, I SAW FLAMES AND THE WHOLE DASHBOARD AREA OF THE CAR CAUGHT ON CAR. *TR

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 DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE PRETTY MUCH NEVER WORKED, I HAVE ALWAYS HAD TO MANUALLY ENGAGE MY LIGHTS OTHERWISE THE DTR LIGHTS WOULD GO FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN BURN FLICKER AND SHORT OUT, ONLY WORKING WHEN I TURN THE LIGHTS ON THE MANUAL WAY. MY BACK TURN SIGNAL SHORTED OUT AROUND EARLY 2012. NOT ONLY DID IT STOP WORKING BUT IT MELTED THE LIGHT SOCKET HOUSING, MAKING IT SO I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE LIGHT SOCKET. MOST RECENTLY, EITHER MAY 14TH OR 15TH, I STARTED UP MY CAR, BUT I COULDN'T PUT IT INTO GEAR, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IT INTO GEAR, SO WE TRIED TO TURN OFF THE CAR TO FIGURE OUT OUR NEXT MOVE. BUT THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT, SO WE HAD TO RESTART THE CAR AND FINALLY GOT THE GEAR TO ENGAGE, AND WE TOOK IT HOME AND HAD TO UNPLUG THE BATTERY BECAUSE WE COULD NOT TAKE OUT THE KEY BUT DID NOT WANT IT TO WEAR OUT THE BATTERY. *TR
