2009 Chevrolet Aveo

I HAVE BEEN HAVING QUITE A BIT OF TROUBLE WITH MY AVEO IN THE LAST YEAR. THE BATTERY WILL BE DEAD AFTER SITTING IN THE GARAGE FOR 12 HOURS WITH NO EXPLANATION. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN JANUARY, WE BLAMED IT ON THE VERY COLD WINTER WE WERE HAVING AND A NEW BATTERY WAS PURCHASED. I DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT THEN AS OF THE SPRING UNTIL NOW, THE BATTERY HAS BEEN DEAD A DOZEN MORE TIMES. I TOOK IT INTO A GARAGE WHICH CHECKED EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CAR WAS NOT DRAINING THE BATTERY SOMEHOW, BUT THEY CAME UP WITH NO SOLUTIONS BUT TO GIVE ME ANOTHER NEW BATTERY. BUT SINCE THEN, IT HAS STILL OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. FOR YEARS, MY CLOCK HAS BEEN WRONG. I WILL SET IT TO THE CORRECT TIME, BUT ONCE THE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND STARTED AGAIN, IT WILL BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TIME EACH TIME. I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE SOMEONE LOOK AT IT BUT NO ONE CAN SEEM TO EXPLAIN THAT EITHER. SO I AM LED TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOME SORT OF FAULTY ELECTRICAL SITUATION THAT IS CAUSING ALL THIS STRESS. THE WRONG TIME, I CAN DEAL WITH. MY CAR NOT STARTING FOR NO REASON IS A MUCH GREATER DILEMMA. I AM 7 MONTHS PREGNANT AND HAVE BEEN READING A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S REVIEWS ONLINE STATING THAT THINGS LIKE THIS AND MUCH WORSE THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING TO THEM WITH THEIR 2009 CHEVY AVEOS. I WOULD HOPE THAT WITH THIS MANY INCIDENCES, THERE WOULD BE A RECALL OR SOME SORT OF EXPLANATION BY NOW, AT LEAST. I AM VERY CONCERNED TO OWN THIS CAR WITH A NEWBORN ON THE WAY. HE IS DUE IN JANUARY AND IF I GO TO LEAVE A LOCATION WITH HIM IN THE DEAD OF WINTER AND MY CAR WON'T START OR WORSE, I WILL BE ONE VERY UPSET MOTHER. PLEASE CONSIDER THE FACT THAT THERE MAY BE SOME VERY SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THIS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

HAD DRIVEN MY CAR EARLIER THAT DAY WITH NO PROBLEMS. MID-AFTERNOON I GOT IN MY CAR TO GO RUN ERRANDS AND IT WOULDN'T START. WHEN I WOULD TURN THE KEY NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN, NO LIGHTS CAME ON, NO ATTEMPT FOR ENGINE TO TURN OVER. NOTHING. QUICK CHECK CONFIRMED BATTERY WAS CHARGED, FUSES GOOD, AND POWER GETTING TO FUSES. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER. INSPECTION BY GM TECHNICIAN FOUND THE INSTRUMENT MODULE HAD OVERHEATED AND BEEN DAMAGED, WHICH DISABLED THE IGNITION AND WOULDN'T ALLOW CAR TO START. ISSUE SOUNDS SIMILAR TO THE RECENT RECALLS ON THE 2004-2008 AVEO'S, WHERE "THE PROBLEM CONCERNS THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT MODULE IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IT COULD OVERHEAT, MELT AND CAUSE A FIRE." GM TECHNICIAN NOTED THAT HE COULD TELL THE INSTRUMENT MODULE WAS MELTED CAUSE HE COULD SMELL THE BURNING WHEN HE OPEN UP THE DASH. *TR

JUST WANTED TO LET SOMEONE KNOW SOMETIMES WHEN I TAKE MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION IT IS VERY HOT TO THE TOUCH AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY OTHER CAR DO THIS IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERY TIME BUT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THIS HAS HAPPENED AND WAS WONDERING IF THERE HAS BEEN OTHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS I JUST DON'T WANT A FIRE TO START OR SOMETHING HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. *TR

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK ANYMORE. WENT TO MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED BULBS WITH BRAND NEW ONES, AND THEY DIDN'T WORK EITHER. THEY TESTED FUSES AND SAID THOSE WERE FINE. THEY RECOMMENDED I GO TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO FIX IT BUT DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR ALL THAT. RUNNING AROUND AT NIGHT TO GET HOME FROM WORK ON A PASSENGER-SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT ONLY, OR HIGH BEAMS WHEN NO ONE'S AROUND. HELP! *TR
