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.

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.

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.

THE SAME TIME THE RECALL FOR DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS MODULE CAME MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS INDICATOR STARTED FLASHING AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO DEALER TO FIX DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS MODULE, I ALSO HAD AIRBAG LIGHT CHECK AND THEY SAID THE WIRING HARNESS MELTED AND IT COST ME OVER $300.00 TO FIX. IS THIS CONNECTED TO DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT MODULE PROBLEM? IF SO I WOULD LIKE MY MONEY BACK! LET ME KNOW PLEASE.
