2009 Chevrolet Aveo

LETS START FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR MY AIR BAG LIGHT AND CLOCK LIGHT WILL GO IN AND OUT OVER BUMPS MORE THE AIR BAG LIGHT. NOW AND STILL THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASH IS ON AND PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ABOVE THE CLOCK SAYS OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. 2ND MY TAIL LIGHTS I GO THREW THEM LIKE WATER. 3RD THE THING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK RIGHT NEXT TO THE TIRE EVERY WINTER I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WIRES OR THE WHOLE THING BRAKING. 3RD ITS SAYS GOOD GAS MILEAGE YA RIGHT. THE GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK PROPER RAN OUTTA GAS A FEW TIMES. I HAVE REPLACE BATTERY AND SPARK PLUGS NOW I HAVING ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE LIGHT ON THE ENGINE IS RIDING ROUGH MY WHOLE CAR IS SHAKING I CAN NOT GO TO SPEED EVEN WHEN THE GAS PETAL IS TO THE FLOOR. I SEE A RECALL AND NOW ITS CLOSED THE RECALL SAYS DEGRADED CONNECTION BETWEEN IGNITION COIL SPARK PLUG BOOTS AND SPARK PLUGS. PRETTY SURE THAT'S THE CAUSE. MY BODY PAINT IS COMING OFF. IT STARTED COMING OFF NOT EVEN 2 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT . SOMETIMES THE RADIO AND CLOCK WITH AIR PASSENGER LIGHT SHUTS OFF AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON UNTIL I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. THE ONSTAR STOP WORKING ALL TOGETHER. THE DEFROST DOESN'T WORK TO WELL UNLESS HIGH. MY OVERALL OF THIS CAR IS A MONEY HOG TO KEEP FIXING PARTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE RESUMED TO NORMAL OPERATION INDEPENDENTLY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE O2 SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

1ST INCIDENT: WAS ON INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR IN ST. PAUL, MN W/ 2 TODDLERS IN THE BACK SEAT. THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED BUCKING AND THEN SHUT OFF. I WAS IN THE 2ND LEFT LANE ON 4 LANE SO I HAD TO COAST TO THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER W/ NO POWER STEERING AND NO ACCELERATION ALMOST GETTING HIT BY MULTIPLE VEHICLES. TOOK FOUR HOURS FOR TOW TRUCK. . 3 WEEKS FOR THE FUEL PUMP TO BE MANUFACTURED AND SHIPPED AS THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW W/ LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE SPARE PARTS FOR IT. ALSO, DISCOVERED THAT THE ONSTAR WASN'T CONNECTED EVEN THOUGH I WAS SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE A FREE YEAR. IT WOULDN'T EVEN COME ON. THEY FIXED THAT AT THE SAME TIME AS THE FUEL PUMP BUT THEN WHEN I GOT IT BACK I NOTICED MY CLOCK WOULDN'T KEEP TIME AND THE ONSTAR WASN'T SHOWING THE FREE YEAR WHICH NEVER GOT RESOLVED. THE DEALER SAID THEY WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CLOCK BUT THE REPLACED SOME FUSES, ETC. TO THIS DAY IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. 2ND INCIDENT WHICH IS STILL ONGOING: DASH AND RADIO FUSES RANDOMLY BLOW, CAR EATS COIL PACKS AND SPARK PLUGS EVERY 3-4 MONTHS. AT RED LIGHTS/EXTENDED STOPS IT WILL START IDLING ROUGHLY AND USUALLY WILL SHUT OFF. CAR WILL SOMETIMES NOT ACCELERATE AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL SHOOT OFF LIKE A ROCKET W/ A MILD PRESS OF GAS PEDAL. GAS MILEAGE IS A JOKE, I'M LUCKY TO GET 20/MPG. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO 3 CHEVY DEALER MECHANICS AND 2 INDEPENDENTS AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG OTHER THAN 'ELECTRICAL' SAYING I COULD REPLACE THE COMPUTER AND WIRING HARNESS BUT THAT IS NOT A GUARANTEED FIX AND AT ALMOST $2500 NOT WORTH IT AT THIS POINT. I WILL JUST BE SO GLAD TO HAVE THIS THING PAID OFF IN A FEW MONTHS (BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW W/ 43 MILES ON IT) SO I CAN SELL OR TRADE IT IN THOUGH EVERY DEALER I'VE APPROACHED ABOUT TRADING IT IN TELLS ME THEY DO NOT ACCEPT THEM B/C OF 'KNOWN' PROBLEMS IN THE AUTO COMMUNITY. 2 WRECKS, AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED, FRONT & REAR. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET AVEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH HEADLIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE MODULE OR THE WIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK AND WHILE SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER THAT I WENT TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 2 MPH, EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE THIRD TIME SINCE I BOUGHT IT 7 MONTHS AGO AND THEY ARE WORKING ON IT NOW. THEY SAID IT WAS THE PART THAT ALLOWS FUEL INTO THE ENGINE. *TR

AS A FATHER I AM WRITING THIS ON BEHALF OF MY 18YR OLD DAUGHTER. THIS VEHICLE HAS LOST STEERING, BRAKES AND ACCELERATION 3 TIMES OVER 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. EACH TIME HAS BEEN AT LOW SPEEDS (2MPH - 10MPH) WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC, THE AVEO WILL LOOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, NO MATTER HOW FAR THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED DOWN. THE BRAKES ONLY WORK SLIGHTLY, AND THE PEDAL IS HARD PUSH DOWN. THE STEERING IS VERY UNRESPONSIVE, SIMILAR TO THE BRAKE ISSUE IT'S HARD TO STEER. WHILE THE ABOVE 3 ISSUES HAPPEN AT ONCE, THE ENGINE IS AT IDLE. TO FIX, SHE HAS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART. *TR
