SINCE I GOT MY AVEO5 LS IN 2013. I HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS SINCE THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THINKING MY AIR BAGS DON'T WORK AT ALL. THE CLOCK DOESN'T KEEP SET. THE FLEX TUBE NEEDS BE REPLACED EVERY MONTH. MY HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS NEED TO REPLACE TWO TIMES A MONTH OR MORE. THEN TO FIND OUT I ALMOST HAD A FIRE WITH MY HEADLIGHT PLUG IS MELTED CRISPY BLACK, NOW MY HEADLIGHT DON'T WORK AS WELL. THE MODULE BEHIND PASSENGER SIDE BACK ALWAYS NEED TO REPLACE ESPECIALLY IN WINTER. I HAD MY CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND MY PAINT HAS BEEN COMING OFF DUE TO FACTORY PAINT PROBLEM. NOW I CAN NOT KEEP ENGINE LIGHT OFF SINCE I GOT MY CAR, I THINK I PUT MORE MONEY IN BUYING PARTS THEN I PAID FOR THE CAR. GM DID A VERY POOR DESIGN FOR THIS MODEL

S10 APPROPRIATE HANDLING- LETTER TO THE SECRETARY FROM CONSTITUENT RE COPY OF A LETTER TO THE U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL REGARDING A COMPLAINT AGAINST GENERAL MOTORS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED IN MARCH 2011, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER STEERING AND THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF BY ITSELF. THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY CLAIMED THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED INTO 2012. IN MAY 2014, DUE TO THE EXISTING PROBLEM, THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. ALSO, THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, EVEN THOUGH THE IMPACT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO WARRANT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. *JB UPDATED 10/05/15.*JB

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, STOPPED AT A STORE IN A PARKING LOT, CAR IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN OFF, COULD NOT GET CAR KEYS OUT OF IGNITION. DROVE TO A DEALERSHIP, WHO SAID THE IGNITION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS SHIFTING. SAID IT WOULD COST 4 TO 5 HUNDRED DOLLARS, DID NOT HAVE IT FIXED. BUT SINCE THEN, IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT AT TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO TURN ON, OR IF TURNED OFF, HARD TO GET KEYS OUT. A VALET COULD NOT GET IT TO TURN OFF AND WHEN HE FINALLY DID, COULD NOT GET THE KEYS OUT,SO HE LEFT THEM IN MY CAR. I THINK THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GM FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES.
