Ignition switch is overheating. The longer the car is driven (10-15 miles) the hotter it is becoming. It heats up so much that the ignition key becomes quite hot as well. . . But the switch itself is even hotter. I fear there will be an electrical fire starting soon, and have already decided to stop at intervals to turn the ignition off so it cools down. It doesn't make any difference if it's driven fast or slow, driving still heats up the ignition switch. The only odd occurrence that might be somehow connected is the right turn signal bulb needed replaced since this started.

I am writing to you with regards to my chevy Aveo 2009 lt,with automatic transmission. My wife usually drives this car and last week, suddenly my car wouldn't stop running. She was at her work place and she took off the keys but later realized the car was still running, so she returned back and couldn't shut off the engine. . So I had to leave my work and take the car to a chevy dealership to find out it was a problem with a faulty ignition switch, but said it was not part of the recent gm ignition switch recall. But my question a. Why would the switch fail all of a sudden, and what if my wife left the car running all day and if it would've taken off by itself. B. I have been hearing a lot of news about chevy recall of faulty ignition switches, does this not fall in that category? else, is there anything you could find with the faulty switch as this might be a hindrance if the car doesn't stop at all. Hope you can provide me with a proper guidance or if this fell under the recall itself?.

To whom this may concern, I recently replaced a defective ignition cylinder and a ignition housing in my steering wheel column costing over four hundred dollars including labor cost. I have owned many old used cars and several new vehicles. I have never replaced a ignition switch. I am the original owner and still own this vehicle today. I have spent thousands of dollars on my automobile. The most expensive was the $1600. Dollar timing chain breakdown. It is really a shame new cars are built so that they do breakdown. Being the ignition switch and ignition housing I believe this problem should be recalled on cheverolet Aveos, as well. This part was deemed to have broken due to the extreme nature of GMC ignition problem. Thank you for your time and all efforts. Keith.

I went to start the car and it was completely dead, the lights worked and the "door ajar" light worked also, I had the car towed to a shop where I was told it was the ignition switch. A new one was put in, I paid $553 took the car and ran errands. After leaving the car not running for about 1-1/2 hours I went to start it and the same thing happened. Car was towed back to shop where mechanic called chevy dealer and they told him since it was an aftermarket part, it wasn't compatible. He ordered a gm/chevy ignition switch and replaced my battery too. I picked the car up today, ran errands but left the car running. As soon as I came home I turned the car off and went to restart it and the same thing happened. I called the shop and the owner came here and opened the hood and showed me that the fuse blew, when going to put a new fuse in, it started sparking. This is a safety hazard as it is going to wind up causing a fire because there is obviously some sort of short in the wiring. I called gm/chevy and conveniently as of 2010 models it is only covered under the bumper to bumper warranty so they will not do anything. I think they know that this is a malfunction on their vehicles but they won't do anything about it. Please help.

I have a 2011 chevy Aveo with 58,800 miles. It has a serious stalling issue and getting worse. My local chevy dealer service department had the car for over two days and can't get it to "throw a code" on the computer. It did stall for them before they got the computer on it. I have emailed gm about this issue and plan to file a complaint with ftc. I am going to have to give the car back to the bank and suffer financially as I am in no position to pay for 2 cars so this car can sit. It is unsafe to drive. It seems that gm is only willing to repair cars once someone as died or been injured by something that they should be responsible for from the beginning. The first 2 item they should be replacing are the ignition switch and fuel pump, but they won't.

12/30/07i was driving home from work,the battery light and brake light stayed on while driving, then the car suddenly started to lose power,all of the interior lights went off,the radio and heater went off,the headlights dimmed. I went into the dealership the next day, they had it until the 1/3/08"could not duplicate the problem". We picked up the car from the dealership, and drove it home. That night,the electrical problem started again, but the car died and would not start. We had it towed. They said that it started for them the next day, and they "could not duplicate" the problem, it had a low battery, they charged the battery. On the 17th the car had the low battery light and brake light on again while driving, so we were driving to the dealership, but on the way, it had the same "symptoms" and died,it was towed. They said"could not duplicate the problem". All they did was "drive it 15 miles one day" then "6 miles another". I picked the car up on the 21st because they were not doing anything to find or fix the problem. That evening the airbag light in the car came on and stayed on, so I brought it in on the way to work,they "forgot" to clear the codes in the car computer. On 1/29 (daytime), the car died again, with the same "symptoms" leading up to it. I called the dealership to have them come and look at the problem. They said on site "something looks loose",so they had it towed to the dealership, and when I went to pick up the car the next day the only thing they did was replace the battery. I got into my car and turned it on, and the brake and battery light stayed on even when the parking brake was not engaged. I went into the service center to tell them the problem, and they kept my car until Friday. They replaced the ignition switch. Today, 2/7,I turned on my car, and the brake and battery light stayed on while I started driving to work. I intended to go to the dealership, but before I got there the two lights(battery and brake)turned off.

I purchased a 2004 Chevrolet Aveo. I commute 2 hours one way to a job site. The ignition switch and the ignition key get progressively hot the longer I drive this car. The service dept measured the heat. On a 45 minute drive, the ignition switch temperature was 111 degrees, the key was 94 degrees. I am concerned of a possible fire within this ignition of the vehicle. Other Aveo owners I questioned are experiencing the same problem. I am extremely afraid to drive this car with the commutes I have to make to work. The dealership service and gm are passing the buck on this. Will it take the loss of lives in car fires before something is done with this car?? I surely do not want to be one of their fatalities with the extensive driving I do. This is not a normal condition and is presenting a possible hazard.
